Agreed! There was a part of me that wanted it to end much more dramatically, and yet the subtlety was really quite perfect. Why isn't Nina Hoss getting more attention for that?!

I enjoyed Anastasia's sassiness in the contract scene…except then he observes that she's blushing, which he can somehow see in a room inexplicably lit like the opening shot of The Lion King, and it just lost me. But, well, good try.

I reread it right after seeing an early screening of this and yes, it is possibly Shakespeare's biggest 'boy, that escalated quickly' play.

though, as Oh, Hello’s website notes, they’re “a lot of money.”
Seriously! Do you know how many chickens of the sea I could buy for $96?! A lot, probably!

Seriously. The Brothers Ward stuff was the most interesting part of this episode to me, particularly the way the writers are getting more and more desperate in their attempts to blatantly, definitively let us know that no, Grant Ward is not just a hot tragic victim, he's a sociopathic asshole who is not going to be…

Can we just talk about how much Numan reminds me of Jason Segal? It is PROFOUND.

what fresh Almodovar-except-not-ironic-or-symbolic-probably-just-terrible hell is this

I mean, come on. The Post would. This is the paper that made a "foot-long" prison rape joke about Jared the Subway guy on the front damn cover a few months ago.

Am I just misunderstanding the phrasing here?? Because Kristen doesn't know anything; she dead.

So, we’re basically right back where we started with Nygma, except Kringle now knows how demented he is. What a useless character/arc.

PREACH. Spice World had it right: "Thank god for boarding school! I only see mine once a month."

making it so unbearable that Martin has one of his painful stomach attacks in the hotel on the way home.
Oh, wait, we knew about that? I completely forgot that/never noticed. I have so little patience for those bratty kids (seriously, what the fuck was up with the other one scolding Helen front of the cop?!) that I…

Whereas he was seriously disgusted in finding out Carrie was a government-mandated mass murderer.

It’s a movie most will be intoxicated by, but few will be able to confidently say that they understand
I can confidently say that I did not understand it (well, I got some parts, but not others. There were too many dudes named Tian. I think. Right?), and yet I loved it anyway. I don't even know why. Somehow the mood…

Pretty much. (And the whole crafty twins secret probably would not help.)

I was more annoyed at the fact that both of these gorgeous and badass women are apparently in love with such a boring-ass dude than I was by the cheesiness of the line, really.

Dawned on me! Unfortunately, in real life they would have emphasized her race a lot more and hyped the OH NO A MUSLIM, PROBABLY* angle, but as it's a fun and over-the-top show I just loved that this apparently genius agent's method of disguising herself was…a hood, that does not remotely hide her face/preternatural…

…huh. Sorry, but isn't seeing it as a North-vs.-South story kind of…entirely missing the point? It's much more about men and women, and (speaking as a liberal Northerner) I have absolutely no trouble believing that Union soldiers would mistreat Southern women in exactly the same way that Confederate soldiers would…

I can recite that episode (and usually will, if no one stops me). "Phoebe, I'm sorry, but I think Jacques Cousteau is dead."

Ugh. Again, I gotta say that grade feels too generous. I too liked that it focused on the important characters again, but they've just become too intolerably petty and childish. Tricking Virginia into that dinner was classic Bill, but (a) the fact that he's still pulling that shit this far into the show is annoying…
