Every season without fail there is an episode where Raylan needs to get his swagger back, after fumbling for a few, and this was that episode. The Drew Thompson mystery took a back seat to rebuilding his character, headed into a finale run. To use prowrasslin' terminology, they had to "feed him a squash match"

It was a heroic effort but it was just too busy and it came at the wrong point in the story to maximize its impact. The reason to get everyone in the same place is to presumably force them to realize how little time they've been spending with one another. It was a perfect opportunity to either create friction between

The sad part of this new paradigm is that by the time you posted this and I read it with keen insight on this show's pilot episode, you will be on to episode 2 or 3 and we will have lost all the insightful commentary that was once weekly TVs promise to us.

Aw man, TV is like books now? We get one long form narrative delivered all at once and broken into chapters? I stopped reading books BECAUSE they were so book-like. Now what am I going to watch, old Cuban men playing dominoes in the park?

This show should just be called "CAN YOU EVER REALLY TRUST ANYONE?"

Let's crucify him!

I kinda feel like Raylan had that coming. He seems to get punished for his transgressions each season.

Yeah… I can't believe he didn't attempt arson. Those tents would go up nice.

Have faith. That story ain't done by half. Cassie's confirmed for the next three episodes at the least.

I'm going to paint the letters of his name in hidden corners of the world so that one day, my children's children's children's etc. can decipher my cryptic maps and discover FRANCO anew. 

You're joking right? Carolina BBQ is the best. None of that sick thick sweet and more smooth vinegar flavor.

i think AHS: Asylum played its hand with Continuum. It's just a surrealist stage play about the transformation of mental healthcare and how that perception changed with the times leading to the well documented, and utterly horrifying realities that came to light in the 70s. Notice how the aliens are nowhere to be seen

Frankie and Ginny stole the show for me.

You aren't. I left the movie singing his praises to the children who were exiting Guardians of the holidays or Parental Guidance or whatever. Apparently they had no oscar nomination influence.

And you catch her on a walkabout tell her she was quite bangable in Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Where does Knock-Off fit in there? Because damn, that is some TSUI HARK.

Which would be a super valid criticism of The Last Exorcism Part II if the original film weren't so damn good for 90% of it.
