I've been thinking along the same lines as to how the season will end, with death, grief and guilt. I'm wondering it that combination is going to be the impetus to push Jimmy into Saul in the third season.

Yeah, except it seems to be a deliberate choice on Gilligan's part not to show a strong physical, sexual attraction between them. I'm not saying our noses have to be shoved into an explicit sex scene, but since the Jimmy-Pam relationship is so central to this season, it is odd that there's little physicality between…

Tim, I do agree with you that they probably did sleep with each other to "seal the deal". But I really, really do not get any sense that they are in the sort of intense sexual relationship most of us experience in the early days of a relationship. BTW, RalphRobertMoore and RRM are both me. I don't know why my posts…

But have we really seen any sexual chemistry between them?

Good point. But isn't a massage kind of a transaction? Not really about passion? And with the Kevin Costner thing, even if there was sex, it seems to involve Jimmy's joy of trickery more than any real sexual attraction? I think rawbun is right. It's almost as if they're siblings.

So am I right in thinking you would report the rape to the police and have your husband arrested?

I appreciate the thoughtfulness of your
answer, but you are moving quite a bit away from the situation as actually depicted
on the show. For one, you’re putting
forth the idea that Matt might have been “very persistent and pushy” about sex
in the past. But there really is
nothing we’ve seen so far in the series that…

We’ll have to agree to disagree, then. In the context of Matt and Mary’s situation,
if a couple love each other and have had a loving sexual relationship for years,
I don’t believe Matt having intercourse with Mary in this situation, whether
she truly woke up or not, is rape. I
think to believe it was rape trivializes…

Dexter was a great show.  Like any other great show, it had some flaws.  But really, very few.  What some call flaws (Miami Metro never finding out, Dexter’s ability to escape each trap, etc.) were really just a part of the overall premise of the series.  No other show immersed us that deeply into a character’s mind,…

Always felt the final season was disappointing (especially after what they did in the fourth, best, season), and the finale just ended in the most obvious way possible. Like Simon had lost interest in the series, and was anxious to move on to Treme.   Simon's lack of caring for the show really comes through in the…

Best finale ever.  And is unlikely to ever be topped. Along with everything else, I love the symmetry it brings to the series:  We start at the beginning with the oldest child returning home, and end with a finale where the youngest child leaves home.  Beautiful, beautiful show.  And Teti's reviews are the best on the…

It just dawned on me that just like HBO had a tie-in with The Sopranos, offering "Artie Bucco's Gourmet Pizza", wouldn't it be great if they offered Ruth Fisher's Frozen Dinners?

I understand and respect what you're saying, but I think if I was kidnapped, or my spouse had an affair, or I had anger issues perhaps inherited from my father, or was mentally ill, or was married to someone who was mentally ill, I would probably be a broken record too. I always appreciated the way SFU dealt with…

In one of the best of the Rube Goldberg openings SFU sometimes did, a bird, set free in a celebration of healing,  comes back as a block of frozen blue ice intent on killing (foreshadowed by comparatively harmless bird droppings).  This beginning always reminds me of the saying that was popular around the time Nate…

I love Allison’s pipe tattoo, and the fact that Nate doesn’t come out of her vagina whole (should I say no pun intended?)  A good metaphor for his approach to life:   When there’s a problem, find a new vagina.  I’m surprised he keeps trying that same solution, since it never works for him.

I understand what you're saying.  I think it's confusing on purpose, but I can certainly appreciate your viewpoint, and it's as valid as my viewpoint.

I agree with you that it’s the best drama ever.  But then it seems odd that writers who wrote all those many episodes we all so much admire would uncharacteristically create a whole sequence of episodes which were filled with bad writing.  Is it dramatic?  Yeah.  Is it, as I think you’re saying, melodramatic?  I…

The writers wanted to show us how Nate’s personality works when he has more responsibility: marriage and a baby.  That the marriage starts to fall apart seems realistic to me— Nate and Lisa have very different views of the world, and lifestyles.  The fact that she winds up as she does is to me not that far a stretch.…
