That was such a random interruption to a pretty good segment. And shelving him doesn't make any sense to me either. He's had minimal exposure on American TV so why not set him up for the viewers vs. having them going in cold on the first show?

Three holes in the ground to fetch water!

Okay, gut reaction to the finale:

Stannis would be a stickler for grammar, wouldn't he?

I love that Concerned Todd Barry is still a dick.

If I had to go through that shit, the first time I see a superhero movie on FX, I would chop down my TV like a water buffalo. That or freak out like Alex hearing Mozart again in Clockwork Orange.

That's the exact same callback I was thinking of! And they're perfect complements to each other: the Season 5 shot has the partners' backs turned to the camera, looking ahead as they continue to build another level (literally and figuratively) to SCDP. The screen-cap above has the partners look toward the camera,…

I can't believe how well the character arcs have moved so far this season. For the first time ever, I love Jon and Sansa. Jon's as leader is such a badass! (And finally, one of the Ned's conspirators gets vengeance done upon him by a Stark!) Sansa's playing her emotions beneath is finally paying off! Those Stark kids…

Henry only has the wedding photos to jack off to. Goddamn, that " You can keep this" was cold.

I had trouble too processing why they were spending so much time with Sandra and Philip. But on the rewatch, I thought about how here's this woman who tried so hard to get his ex-husband who works in intelligence and has always been so closed off because of his work to open up and continually failed. And now she's…

Not for Paige, it isn't. Can you imagine her finding out after all this that the ONE person she trusts is also a fucking liar?

Don't worry about Dany's council. The brain trust is on its way via Volantis.

Ilyn Payne, who we haven't seen since "Blackwater" when he was glowering in ecstasy at the thought of having to kill at the women in the bunker.

Something's been bugging me ever since Philip managed to pull Martha back in after the bug was revealed. What exactly does Martha think Clark is now that she knows Taffet's the real internal investigator? Is it implied that she knows he's a Soviet spy, but is under his spell enough that she's willing to go along? Is…

And they still didn't leave us with duel balls. That showdown between Raylan and Boon was so tense. To think that Boon was put there to provide that ultimate duel in place of Boyd, but the character was so incredibly well-drawn and entertaining in that short of time. This show was spilling over with memorable…

Some of the richest and wittiest dialogue I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing in a TV drama and they absolutely nail that final line. Bravo.

I thought he was lying, but then I can't remember how Raylan and Art found out Duffy was the rat. Duffy confessed, right? And then I guess they just forgot to tell Vasquez that this wasn't his first time snitching, which seems like a huge oversight.

Remission, Leviathan, Blood Mountain, and Crack the Skye all in one decade. I mean, goddamn.

Gotta be Aderholt.

Damn, girl, right in the heart! Or whatever that place in Boyd's chest that's apparently impervious to bullets.
