This episode was a lot more miss than hit.
However, I did like some parts a lot:

Man.
If I could afford hardcover books, I'd be all up on that book.

Highlight of the episode:
Easily Marshall trying to act natural in the bar during the "sting."

Gratitude
I was very grateful that this movie didn't have some sort of plot point involving her grandson being killed or something, but I agree, it's visually stunning but a little too blunt. But that's how old Russian women talk, right?

This episode made me realize
How terrible Zach Braff is as a romantic lead of any sort. Ted is so much more likable, it's ridiculous.

Wait a minute.
I thought quaterlife covered all of this already?

A little concerned
I hope that isn't based on the short story that he tacked onto the edge of CK IV, because that was the opposite of good.

My favorite moments.
The finale was without a doubt great, and I would agree that season four was the best, and I'd go and say seasons three is right up there.

I loved the intro
The way that it ended with the "Is that all there is to a body" or whatever as Walt scoops up some more goop and puts into into a bucket. That was good stuff.

Fat people shot from the neck down.
Never disappoints.

Some things I noticed in these comments.
Regarding the smoke monster stuff: If there was a dark monsters (the smoke) and a light monster that would be the light that Locke saw in what, season 1? That makes sense.

Garret Dillahunt and Dean Edwards.
GD was the only good thing about John from Cincinnati and was quietly really good in the Assassination of Jesse James as well as No Country For Old Men, so it's nice to see him get some more exposure. That being said, they are doing with his character what I thought they were going…

I don't watch this show regularly.
But whenever I do I find it compelling with some interesting dynamics between characters.

HEY, BAY.
Leave Near Dark out of this.

I really thought this was the sequel to Step Up.
But it turns out Step Up 2: The Streets is the sequel to Step Up.

I read the book…
and that was pretty good, I was going to check this out eventually, so…

Daniels
I think McNaulty's FBI agent pal said something about Daniels having a couple hundred grand in liquid assets from back when he was in the Eastern. But that was a long time ago.

/sigh
I miss Stringer.

Wow.
Ellen Page is morphing into Juno.

Couldn't agree more
