I definitely took that as paranoia rather than lying/manipulation of Mike, and I assumed Mike chose to play along out of kindness and a desire to make them feel safe (and of course his eternal guilt about his son). Kerry Condon is certainly playing it very earnest and straightforward…but then again it would be just…

I dunno, he's kind of right for the wrong reasons, whereas Skyler was just plain right. He's passive-aggressively attacking Jimmy because he's bitter about his seemingly unearned/undeserved success. If he respected Jimmy as a lawyer, I really don't think he'd nitpick his methods, questionable though they definitely…

For instance, how about this throwback to the time Daredevil’s Foggy Nelson comforted his daughter as she died?
UM NO SHUSH WE'RE NOT DISCUSSING THAT. That was one of those classically Grey's moments in which I was like 'this is such shameless emotional manipulation; it was obvious from the first second that the kid…

Oh, that's true. "I am not gentle." "I remember." LORDY

I definitely see your point; this list uses the word "gay" very broadly indeed and in general there's still a pretty common idea that men who date transwomen are 'secretly' gay or have a weird fetish or something, which can be pretty condescending. But I think both Dog Day and the documentary suggest kind of a…

It's honestly kind of hard to say — in real life, the real "Sonny" (John) seems to have been one of those "I fuck dudes but I'm not a f*g!" kind of self-loathing types, and yet he constantly refers to his 'wife' [they didn't legally marry that I know of] Elizabeth as a man and call her by her birth name, Ernie, even…

If you go back and read the threads here, a lot of people were hilariously oblivious to that until, like, the series finale. Whereas I was 100% onboard with it from the "harder, my lord" whipping scene in the second episode.

Of the many, many, MANY sins committed by late-season Dexter, giving us a Ray Stevenson/Enver Gjokaj romance and then not even giving them any scenes together before killing the latter off has got to be, like, top five. UGH.

That’s a whole lot of 1920s code hinting at his homosexuality.

WOW. Glad I watched this one live for once. I'm sticking with my theory that Taylor was abused in the past (possibly by "Uncle" Nate?) and his would-be consensual encounter with Eric triggered old traumatic memories. That would (somewhat) explain why Eric genuinely feels he wanted it and doesn't understand his…

…what. I actually still watch and love this show — unironically! — and I thought this one was bizarrely terrible. They figure out that she can't hear, and yet everyone keeps talking to her? No one thinks to write to her or give her something to write on until way later? And what was the big lesson, 'learn to forgive'…

In days gone by, well-wishers offered congratulations to the groom but best wishes to the bride, to avoid the implication that landing a husband took some effort.

"Unfuckwithably" is a thing of beauty; you should feel proud. And while the gay bar stuff was a tad stale, I was delighted to see Kylie cheerfully lusting after Joshua Sasse, complete with the meta context that she's hitting that irl. Good for you, girl!

If they take out the bit where Bodhi throws a dog at Utah during their foot chase I am WALKING OUT*

Excuse you, he was on Grey's Anatomy. AND SVU! Check and mate!

Downplaying the original’s homoerotic undertones
…okay what the hell. I'm still seeing it for my dear Edgar, but that is SEVERELY disappointing.

"In blackface? That's not appropriate."

I'm glad someone else actually saw that! But I might have to nominate the Bugles on the treadmill, because it was wonderful.

The escape scene is wonderful, but a very very close second would be Jack meeting Seamus the dog. It's not a twist or really a surprise at all, but it's just so perfect, the way his little face lights up. Weapons-grade ugly-crying right there.

I might vote for The Procession of Shame from What We Do in the Shadows. I kept thinking of that during the Game of Thrones season finale and snickering to myself.
