The one (and ONLY one) thing I have ever not liked about this series is the "shooting in California" issue. NOTHING - all the way up and down from the cool, dry actual sunlight outside - looks anything like anything in Kentucky.

That Martha. Maybe not the conventionally most attractive bird out there, but she's into freaky sex. And guns. Understanding of a chap that has to keep an eccentric schedule…. hmmmmm. Kind of climbing the table as far as "appealing female characters" for my part.

Interesting to see them setting up alternate possible outcomes to the expected "season ends with Raylan shooting down Boyd." Which is what one would have to expect given the way this final season was set up.

Okay, for the next series of BM Charlie has GOT to do some sort of riff on this idiotic "internet of things" scam the tech industry is trying to ram down our collective throats. You know, smartphone/internet connected toilets and whatnot. Ones entire house potentially able to be turned into a chamber of horrors by a…

Sure. Say you work in a technical field from home and just interact with people via e-mail. Order all your food and other supplies on Amazon - I believe they are getting into food deliveries. Probably could do it all right now more or less indefinitely.

I'd rather be blocked by the totality of humanity than have to listen to Christmas music for a thousand years. Like the consciousness-slave of the murderer bloke. So by this relative measure I think Jon got off lightly.

I thought the Waldo episode was much better than the one previous to it (where the female killer was tormented each day on a demented reality show).

This show turned utterly bonkers toward the end of the season but I have to admit it is entertaining.

Not sure he's old and gross, but a 45 year-old separated father of four on administrative leave from a job teaching in the NYC public schools is going on such a rampant shag-fest. And with a bunch of absurdly hot 30 year-old women?

Echoed as to the above. Those promos were abominable. "Unpleasant people sleeping around in badly-lit rooms" to nick the gist of someone's description of same.

Hahahaha! I thought so!
I had meant to look that up ever since I started watching this.

Agreed. Some soap opera elements are fine. This series, however, is starting to veer dangerously in the direction of Alison's twin sister with amnesia shows up and bones McNulty's wall street mate. Then McNulty sees twin/amnesia Alison coming out of his flat and reacts in some ridiculous way, etc.

If Skybet were offering odds you've got to think Dar Adal would be at least 1:5 to be "next CIA Director on Homeland."

Say, who is this blonde, European/American-looking woman speaking English into a celly at our pro-Taliban demonstration? Nothing unusual there.

Deffo some fantastic acting performances in this ep. But I am with the reviewer as to the bizarre soap opera elements. Alison shagging Mr. small-town sleaze (tm) just seems like the sort of thing that only happens to create a plot point on a TV show or movie. Just no tinge of reality to any of that, though.

Pretty good list. Agreed for my part insofar as to the ones I watch.

In that Vic Mackey is still offing (even more) bad guys several years after the Shield went off the air.

The best thing about this is that for a moment or two I nurtured the thought: "did he cut and paste this from an actual Sutter interview?"

The way Sutter SHOULD have ended it:

Vic Mackey kills yet another soulless, more-evil-than-him criminal thug.
