My guess is that wasn't Oona Chaplin's body. The scene is shot in classic body double style. Plus, I read somewhere (maybe on this site?) that an actress "of Irish descent" walked off set when the scene called for nudity.

Or a Six Feet Under dream.

It would have been great if Rick had killed Shane with a wrench. Or a ranch. Maybe while reading Lord of the Rangs.

My guess is that Peter isn't going home, that his timeline is cosmic dust, and that Walternate knows it. Whenever an authority figure with slippery ethics says "I'll do everything in my power to achieve X," that translates to "X is unachievable." Walternate is going to string Peter along, Peter will get invested in…

That's exactly what I was thinking. It would have redeemed the entire show for me.

definitely a bit overstuffed
This episode was bound to be mediocre in comparison to the season opener, but "Black Spot" felt as if it were cut down from a much longer script. I'm pretty sure that at least one of the pirates was taken by the Siren entirely off-camera.

cas the fish
One interesting thing the episode did was to take an aspect of Castiel that's always been played for laughs and suddenly take that aspect to its logical and uncomfortable endpoint. Cas doesn't really know how to deal with the kinds of things that humans face on a daily basis - after all, he's essentially…

No, it's a white lily in the Fringe show on Earth-2.

big bad cas
I'm surprised that you didn't see Cas' perfidy coming from a distance. It's been fairly clear that Cas has been keeping secrets from the Winchesters, and in some cases outright lying to them. "My Heart Will Go On" is probably the clearest example of Cas doing some pretty terrible stuff and then covering…

I'm going to be more careful about my comments here in future if an ill-considered opinion results in sexual assault.

some advice
Don't watch Archer just before you fire up an episode of Nikita.

well dang
I should have clued in to the Magnum references when Archer kept slipping into those Ruth flashbacks.

erica is fighting the wrong enemy
After this episode, it's clear who the real villain is: Tyler.

Nobody - he didn't die. He was in a building where an explosion happened, but we don't see him caught in the blast or dead.
