Thanks for running that down for me. I had no idea that the cold open was a flashback. I thought that, after passing out last week, Frye said, "Fuck sobriety," and got right back to it.

Well, let's see.. She was introduced to us after she was arrested for shoplifting. After which, she decides to take a day trip to Juarez by herself, without telling anyone. She puts herself in a position to get kidnapped, and just nearly escapes.

"And get Tim out of my guest house." Please.

Exactly. The political nature of the first killings couldn't have just been set up to draw out Marco.There has to be something else behind them. I'm going to be patient to find out what it is.

There you go. Marco's cheating and self-destructive home-wrecking have yet to be explored, especially in the context of him being a pretty honorable guy, otherwise. As Sonya obviously doesn't understand such things, I expect we'll get some kind of explanation soon.

The scene with Gus and the beatdown Sonya was maybe the best I've seen her. She's already hurt and confused, and here she is, confronted by a young man whose romantic attentions she can't return. She tries to let him down easy, but is hampered by her own behavioral tics, like her inability to look him in the eye. Gus…

Probably the drowned corpses of character actors.

On the right book, he can be perfectly all right. On the wrong book, brrrrr… I bought Amazing Spider-Man #700, out of nostalgia, mostly, and his artwork was dreadful. Doc Ock was dying in the story, sure, but Ramos made it look like he was melting. Two issues of Spidey a month might be taking their toll.

I don't get all the grinning. Tony Stark never smiled so much as when Land started drawing Iron Man.

Greg Land wasn't always the pariah he is today. At DC about 10 years ago, he and Devin Grayson made the Nightwing book very popular, quite unlike the aimless shrug of a comic it is today. After that, he left the Big Two for CrossGen, and his book there, Sojourn, the book about the pretty blonde archer, was bringing…

I give the Newsroom a lot of grief. And, frankly, as long as they keep trying to pull storylines like, "Yeah, we'd have sorted out the Benghazi attack, but we were distracted that day," I will continue to. But I have to give credit where it's due. With only a few lapses into ridiculousness (the revenge plot, drunk…

I don't know if anyone has seen Burn Notice lately (understandable), but this show has taken a big anti-hero turn of late. Since Michael Westen lost his brother last year, he's been on a revenge rampage, been chased by Sonja Sohn, been imprisoned, and finally gone so deep undercover that he's turned on the CIA. It's…

I read some sample pages of the Mighty Avengers, and I like it. I'm curious to see how Ewing develops the relationship between Luke Cage and the condescending, possibly bigoted Spidey-Ock.

As he kept saying, he wasn't the host. As there was no host, they apparently called on him to ad-lib and hype the crowd during stage set-ups. He did this at the BET Awards, too. Diminishing returns.

Who writes the label instructions for adderall?

Given the rumors about Will and Jada, Gaga might have gotten an invitation up to their room last night.

It's a shame he's probably on vacation this week. I'd love to see his reaction tonight.

And for those who think I just appreciate Lady GaGa for that tight rump, let me say this:

We came dangerously close to finding out last night.
