And I need some explanation of how they can be using their smart phones with impunity. In this Fascist future, does no one monitor cell towers (and why even have them if it risks the ants talking to each other?) or at least have electronic surveillance on all communications? Are signals not pinging somewhere in a…

That's an awesome idea (clearly, 27 people at last count agree!) but I keep remembering how rage-y everyone was when Steven Spielberg used that idea in Munich in a scene I personally thought made total sense. There's healing magic in there, people!

@avclub-7adb6a50e7687b45a00b35796f18f17d:disqus OK, that makes sense on the Purgatory thing. I like that they envision it as a deep dark primal forest (ok, their budget probably would allow nothing else). What you said about why various beings end up there made me think about the door to get out. Dean was the key to…

I'm wobbly on Purgatory as a concept, anyway, so I'm probably missing what the show's getting wrong about its "rules" of the place. Is it normally a place between life and Heaven? If so, I can see what you mean @avclub-7adb6a50e7687b45a00b35796f18f17d:disqus  - and the idea of fighting your way into it, of earning…

Do we know if the actor is American or not? I couldn't tell if that accent was real (my only frame of reference is Dennis Quaid in The Big Easy) or if it was somebody over-compensating. I figure it could go either way, but it was - at times - kinda mumbly and hard to understand. I liked it, though, because it gave…

I hope you're right, @avclub-1aca001488b1e7b7b23a9f02919f4640:disqus . I appreciate that she's a bit prickly in these early stages because it gives her character somewhere to go. I like that we aren't being manipulated into liking Sam's girlfriend by making her some super-sweet, idealized woman like Jessica. After all…

But their mode of transportation and transformation was extremely cool: missile strikes of black smoke, pools of black goo, then rising forms of oily humanoid, business-suited minions!

What a thoughtful and refreshingly un-snarky review, PD-N. The brothers-in-arms transferral (albeit a temporary one) from Sam to Benny fighting at Dean's side was subtle and underplayed and, considering the relatively small amount of screentime between Dean & Benny, shows chemistry and depth. As the review points out,…

Yep, that makes sense. Thanks @avclub-6494522c14582194fb3f70a5822ed618:disqus !

It was startling and a bit creepy when Emily told Amanda that her mom drowned her when she was a kid and newly-mommed Amanda said, "How could a mother do that?" Emily ponders for a second and answers, "Maybe someday I'll know." At the time, I thought, holy shit, she imagines a future where she has kids and her…

I was wondering who the pilot was talking to when he called in his Mayday.
