Yeah, that exploitation sure was distracting alright. But then, how do we know she wasn't totally game for it? Maybe she enjoys showing off her lovely, lovely body. By portraying her as a victim without even knowing her name much less the circumstances, you are denying her agency. So -you're- the sexist, not me! How…

Nope. For one thing, the sights look totally different, and what we saw on the show was flat and black where the Uzi pistol is grey with all that texture. I'm fairly certain what we saw was a MAC-10.
Oh, and I already knew what an Uzi looks like. When I visited Israel at age 16 with a Reform Jewish youth group tour,…

Ah, I need to rewatch sometime when my roommate isn't here, so I can watch without interruption

Particularly the Chicago Gallaghers, though Fiona keeps it together pretty well considering

Spring '66

I'm hoping they shot it, so it can be on the Deleted Scenes on the DVD

That was my initial read too.

I didn't think he was being racist at the cabbie, but maybe I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I thought it was about seeing the thing through, himself. Also not sure if he saw the gf's picture while leafing through the wallet in the cab, or only after he got to the office. And would he have done the same if the…

I came to check out the comments on the Showtime Sunday night shows (I haven't watched Luck yet). Those have like three dozen comments. To be expected.

"… like it might actually happen in real life" what, that two people will be having a conversation about a third, who then shows up right when something inappropriate is said? Has that never happened to/in front of you?

I suspect Lane will agree

Didn't Joan say he was stationed at Ft. Dix?

I suspect Megan's either knocked up or about to be

Dammit, I just changed my pic to Charlie Brown, now I've got to find another sad-sack character with clip-art?

@avclub-d7b683529752a4d24d84c4941861a363:disqus - I loved how Don referred to them as Lurch and Morticia. That house - excuse me, castle - was already giving me Addams Family vibes.

I too thought he just happened to be at the bar she was tending, and they just happened to hook up. Like you say, if he actually found out who she was and where she was working from a couple of throwaway lines, and all that was premeditated - he's a fucking Jedi.

The "Uzi" looked like a MAC-10 to me. Didn't look anything like an Uzi.

I just watched it on Starz, and it's just about right for that.
Mila Kunis running around in her underwear is as solid a basis for a movie as any.

Me too. All through elementary school and most of junior high, it was easy enough for me to just "get it", whatever was being taught, pass the test and get an A. So when homework became not just what you do to help you "get it" and pass the test, but a thing I actually had to do, I hadn't developed the time management…

@eric827:disqus - but he's a Jerkass Woobie. (srsly, look it up at TV Tropes)
"The Jerkass Woobie, though, produces a slightly different visceral reaction: you'd like to punch them in the face yourself and you also want to hug them and say, "I'm so sorry that your life is such a mess.""
YMMV on the last part, but being…
