He's in prison for child rape, so not my first choice.

"Did you say Splett?"

"I have a degree in hotel management from Cornell University."

When does Big Head become CEO?

Amy's comment about Eleanor Roosevelt "eating pussy" was not only comedy gold, but it brilliantly highlighted just how dark and fucked-up these people are compared to most.

Henry's at his best when he's sneaking around and doing something illegal

I don't know if it's Alison Wright, the writing, the directing, or some perfect combination of the three, but I have never reacted this strongly to a TV show before. Beautiful.

I'm surprised by the B. Maybe it's because I haven't watched this show since the S3 finale and forgot just how amazing it can be, but I thought this was a solid A. Philip's EST scene and scenes with Martha were as haunting and suspenseful as anything this show has ever done (and the sound effects in the flashbacks
