Speaking of funny Canadians…
I dunno. Dave could be a bit hit or miss for me. Bruce, on the other hand…
I usually find the portrayals of recast actors a bit hard to reconcile with the originals, but in this case I'm a bit glad, drug problems excepting. I was hoping they'd get an actor who'd help make Daario a little less insufferable, like Lena Headey did with Cersei. But Ed Skrein made him so much worse.
"Don't Go There: Cautionary Sign Store" just killed me.
I seem to recall both Hank and Juliette mentioning the team while trying to keep Nick from storming off. Unless I've missed something, or I'm misunderstanding you.
Agree with you on the attitude thing. I got so sick of seeing the face Claire Coffee kept making while Adalind was going through the task.
It's exclamation mark, comma, close quotation, I believe. But you were very close, and you get brownie points from me for asking the question.
All good points. While the show's always had at least one or two moments a season that have made me wince for cheese and loyalty to run-and-gun buddy show tropes, episode 10's end was easily the worst. I guess I could say similar things about how I see 'Shadow Warfare' in relation to the preceding seasons — it fell…
I'm not gonna come at you — I love that episode. It always mystifies me why people don't.
Agreed. I was going to say much the same thing to @avclub-91546109eaf110327d50b0955865712a:disqus above, because I feel that comment conflates actor and character in weird ways. Lincoln isn't weak; the material he's playing is.
"…Ollie’s delayed realization humorously undercuts what is already a deeply, intentionally unconvincing death scene." I actually found myself surprisingly affected by the moment Andy ran up to the window, up until the twins' conversation there undercut its drama. Clapped my hand to my mouth and everything, before I…
I remember, near the end of the one episode of this show I've seen start to finish, hearing Black Rebel Motorcycle Club playing and thinking, disdainfully, "'Deadwood' would never do this," which is an unfair standard to judge the show by, I'll admit.
While Richmond's arc definitely smacks of narrative expediency, I've also found it to be quite graceful compared to how it could have been done. I'll admit that it's striking to go back to 'Project Dawn' and see her noticeably softer, prettier communications-officer incarnation. But Section 20 in 'Project Dawn' is…
For me, it wasn't the sex scene that seemed off so much as the brief stretch of clumsiness in the flirtatious turn Scott and Pirogova's relationship took in the car, while trying to evade the police. I don't think Srbova was quite sure how to play it — her weirdly bright, too-large smiles and slightly forced laughter…
I'll miss Zubin Varla and his bizarre inflections.
Hey, Josh Holloway. Also, when I hovered over your link in the process of clicking it I got excited for a moment because I thought it was a reference to this. I realize that would've made no sense, though.
And I think it's better to have an atrocious pilot and a good rest of the show than the opposite. (Looking at you, Walking Dead.)
I agree that the Tina/Louise storyline had a few too many echoes of the characters as they were toward the start of the series. On the whole, though, I'm just glad to see this show back. And Linda, one of my favorites, had some great moments. "I've seen the ballistics, it checks out." "I'm headed for the Wang! I can…
