I'm…not sure the Diane character was portrayed as white in his comics. I thought it was just incomplete at that stage and he hadn't filled in any colors (well, colours, because Kiwi) yet, skin or otherwise. Overall I didn't love this one quite as much as I'd hoped to, but I did at least think it was a good example of…

Fine, but if she exits Graceland before at least making out with Vanessa Ferlito then I will burn Utica to the ground.

This may be an absurd nitpick, but bear with me: Joel Edgerton has blue eyes, but is clearly wearing brown contacts for the role. Except in Simon's file on him, on the page with the mugshot we can see that he has blue eyes; they're even listed as such in the text. So the character was disguising himself because…why?…

Plus Gordo wanted to make Robyn leave simon, which he seems to do for somewhat altruistic reasons that go beyond revenge. He tells her " nice people deserve nice things."

I at first thought that was part of the point being made — like, 'not only do kids think it's okay to bully gay people, but it's okay to bully molestation victims because hey, they probably wanted it because they're slutty [for women] or gay [for dudes].' But it didn't really unravel that idea in any major way, so I…

"Thistle…down??" (Was that better than "why are you firing walnuts at me?" I can't decide.)

Lady Pole finally has her voice, using it to tell off the Gentleman: “I’ve had my fill of you, Gentleman, taking what you want of me. I have my voice now.”

The fact that he is actually irl Jayne is the most disappointing thing in the 'verse.

…well, at least she's honest.

And even more than that, we had that really heartbreaking scene between Taystee and Suzanne where they grieved here together — to invalidate that by bringing her back would've been super-shitty, to be sure. But for some reason I just panicked for like 60 seconds, to the point where it didn't even click for another…

So did she and Michael Sheen starting dating before or after she joined the show? Because I've long worried that her role was some embarrassing nepotism mess, especially considering how pointless it seemed to be (she basically just showed up to get naked and make Betty's life even worse). But if they're actually going…

I dunno, I feel like it'll come up. I mean, we assumed she got away scot-free when she broke into his house last year, but then there was that (genuinely upsetting) scene where he came back to the prison and confronted her about it. They're pretty good about loose ends…or will Christopher be too scared of her and her…

It would have been really cheap and annoying, but for a few seconds there I was sure a battered and vengeful Vee was going to come off one of those buses at the very end there. I mean, I'm glad they didn't go there, but geez, that was alarming.

Honestly it felt to me like a high-school clique thing, and the way a person can abruptly go from 'cool' status to 'uncool' without actually ever changing in any real way. She's always been there and has always been transgender, but suddenly it was permissible in the social hierarchy of the prison to hate on her, so a…

Fig is still the absolute worst, imo, but of the inmates Aleida is definitely up there. The gals who beat up Sophia basically just because it became 'cool' to hate on her are pretty awful as well, obviously, but we've seen that Aleida has a loooong history of selfish, unkind behavior.

I think in the context of the show we're meant to believe that she's genuinely a good, caring person — we the viewers saw her talking calmly with her crazy-ass son and happily preparing her home for the baby, etc. So I think we're meant to trust her, and we're meant to be fine with Daya trusting her, even though she…

Roger Guenveur Smith’s stylized impression of a local millionaire, so vampiric that he might as well be slathered in German Expressionist makeup.
Seriously, what WAS that performance?! I was having a genuine "is this real life" moment during his one extended scene. I didn't know if it was meant to be funny or serious…

maybe even an alternate world, where no can hear. (Everyone the students encounter, from the truckers to doctors to strangers on the street, communicate through non-vocal means.)

No surprise there. My job involves writing synopses of TV shows (not for a blog site, for an archive type thing) and I take notes longhand because I am an old lady, and I legit cannot keep up with Veep; it's faster than pretty much any other show I've done. Like, it's not just jokes, it's often actual plot points…

Oh, shit, good point about the hoods. I considered that she'd put some kinda spell on her to make her not recognize her face (like, Many-Faced God-stylez), but that is a lot more straightforward. Damn, Vanessa, catch up!
