Did you actively block Libby and Coral from your mind because it was such terrible television, or was it subliminally removed, like an old childhood trauma?

This was terribly done. Libby's heel turn is so dramatic and void of nuance. And don't we remember her dancing with the maintenance man in season one?

I'm bummed this show has been buried as much as it has by the TV tastemakers. Compared to what's currently on the air, it compares pretty favorably. The back half of this season was strong, while suffering the usual flaws of a new show. The look and feel remained unique the whole way through. It's been more…

It's only a 1 hour condensed recap, so it wouldn't really be fair. I'll still be checking it out. WM XXX was a really great show.

Apparently, the first Macintosh cost around $2500. If the Giant is wholesaling at $900, it's in a vastly different price tier. The innovative stuff on that machine wouldn't necessarily doom the Giant. In fact, Cameron's OS would have looked like shit compared to the Mac, so competing on efficiency was really the…

I was hoping for China-Man from China, IL. This inventory could have been at least twice as long pretty easily.

This was good television, but did anyone else feel like the writer shoehorned her one-act play onto this show? Or maybe it was a script meant for elsewhere? Like, it's really not hard to imagine this pitched for S6 of Mad Men, with all the talk of false identities and the sex games.

Well, only three more episodes left. And really, not much has happened. There needs to be some Wire-style late season movement here. Development of some secondary characters seems unlikely at this point, unfortunately. And putting Donna at Cardiff now seems like a season-finale/season 2 concept, if that ever comes…

Ethan Rom = More Than

Probably the best episode since the 2nd. There was nothing cringey here, and it was working with a theme. I like that they kept Joe and his father apart. That was a good twist on the promos.

I recommend it. It's a breezy read in spite of how heavy some of the themes are. Very enlightening in regards to his condition and mental health treatment. Here's a good podcast with the author. http://drdrew.com/022-andy-…

Well, Cameron is not the most feminine woman, but it's unfair to dismiss his interest in her sexually. It's important to accept male bisexuality, if that's the case, rather than assume he's a closeted or confused gay, regardless of how it plays out.

That's an interesting idea. They would sure run the risk of turning the show from "that show about computers in the '80s" to "the show where the lead has AIDS". Not sure if they'd really go there.

Should we really be shocked that Gordon has the most compelling material thus far? It's easy to imagine the writers/creators having lived in his skin. Joe and Cameron…maybe not as much.

I can't really disagree with the grade too much this week though. I do think that the show deserves at least some credit for not being boring, at least. And there's still fun to be had at the expense of the clunkier moments (which there sure were plenty of this week). I'm not sure a new reviewer is warranted,…

But isn't that what one of those shitty punks would have drawn? There's no reason to expect a whole lot more from that kind of peripheral character.

It was okay. I still like the look and feel of the show enough to keep sticking with it. It passes the binge test for me. If I had another episode to watch, I'd watch it now. I can see they were looking to give some more color to the characters this week while seeing them stall out at work. The rest of the…

That's the thing. His story is transparently false. Cameron obviously doesn't buy it, and Gordon doesn't give a shit. He just wants the business to work.

This show is so much more interesting if Joe is not manic pixie dream salesman, and actually a snake-oil salesman who legit fucks things up and they have to work around his 80% idiocy to accept his 20% genius. If so, they didn't waste time in getting there.

But don't you love the idea of a series that puts a straight-up villain in the main cast? I'm hoping they go there, and it could be awesome. Imagine the protagonists working in a super uneasy alliance with a borderline sociopath that coerced them into it. I'd love it if that's what this show is.
