Well, I've gotta agree with McPickleshitter then, because Saul didn't say anything to the committee that Carrie wasn't already completely aware of. She slept with Brody, and she has bipolar disorder—that was the gist of it, right? Yet it didn't occur to her that it sounded bad until that moment? And surely when she…

Ok, not immediately after her kid died, but 8-9 months after. My theory still works!

The downvote is because I said "male gaze," isn't it?

Ok, that's nuts to me, if only because of one scene: the one where Carrie watches Saul testify about her on TV. While she's completely alone in her own home. Her face clearly says that she's shocked, devastated, incredulous that Saul sold her out—there's just no other way to spin her reaction. Hell, I remember it…

Heh, Sookie Stackhouse is such an apt comparison! Something about the character has bothered me from the beginning, but I couldn't put my finger on why; I thought maybe it was just that she seemed vaguely anachronistic (not because she's open to sex or assertive, which I'm sure the real Virginia was—it's just that…

Carol became badass at the beginning of last season, which was immediately after her kid died. The lesson, I guess, is that kids really cramp your style.

Ah, I hadn't thought of that, @orangesky38. That Saul wouldn't let Carrie in on the full extent of the plan and that she really didn't expect to lose so much of her life—that does make the whole thing even more interesting. I still feel like there's something that doesn't quite add up (as an experienced and brilliant…

Dar Adal not being in on it might make some things make more sense—because there were so many instances when Carrie wasn't being watched and knew it, yet still seemed shocked and horrified and confused. At the ATM and inside the bank, in the parking garage, on the phone with her dad—nobody but the audience was…

I see—so it's supposed to be "Ooo," but Showtime fucked it up somehow?  The title stood out to me when it was "Uh … Oh …Ah" on this site a couple weeks ago (I think in one of those TV Club preview articles?) and again when it showed up on my DVR, so the change to "Ooo" stood out too.  I'm clearly in the minority for…

Well, even if they changed it later, I'm pretty sure the "Motherfucker in the Turban" title was the one that showed up on my DVR and was the one a lot of sites used to review it, for what it's worth. So I still don't think there's any reason they can't put "fuck" in an episode title, but I guess it doesn't matter. My…

Haven't they put "fuck" in episode titles before—"motherfucker," no less?  Breaking Bad had to skirt around it because it was on AMC, but Showtime doesn't have that problem. So … I really think what we're left with here is just a goddamn goofy episode title, and not even a good reason for it. 

Well, that'd be cool and all, but my DVR and other sites have this episode's title as "Uh … OH … Ah," not  "Ooo" as Todd wrote. And I can't figure out what words those vowel sounds are supposed to indicate.  I mean, the Thorazine clearly fucked up Carrie's speech, but even she doesn't pronounce "you" to rhyme with…

Yeah, @OrangeLazarus:disqus , that's what I kept thinking: surely the Feds want him, since I doubt Hank's immunity promise would still apply—seeing as he's dead and all and the rest of the DEA didn't know anything about it.  The Nazis got the confession tape, and for all Marie knows, Jesse was in on the hit on Hank .…

You know how most of us have been desperate to see Jesse make it out of this alive?  Well, I think the writers must have accepted that as a challenge, and have contrived ways to get the audience to actually *pray* for Jesse's death now. Because at this point, I really would have rather lost the character a few…

I know!  That's definitely the same actor, and he shockingly looks pretty much the same as when he was introduced in—what, season 3?!  Maybe his head's a little bigger or something, I don't know, but that's some spooky shit right there. Lily of the valley must have anti-aging properties.

I thought he was kidnapped at random and murdered within hours by the serial killer Ottis Toole (who wasn't a perv, apparently, but just a murderous psychopath); that's all I've ever read or heard about the case, anyway. Where did you get this info?

Heh.  I left out the part where my parents laughed uncontrollably for a minute before they explained quite seriously and patiently what the PSAs were really referring to. To be honest, I think it's stuck in my head for 30 years primarily because I was so embarrassed by their laughter and by the fact that I didn't…

@avclub-d1348cfe54a94fe6f986775cedd75fdd:disqus Nobody said child abuse has been stopped, nor is anyone patting themselves on the back for any reason whatsoever. I'm not sure how you got a message like that from anything either @avclub-da496e2db2e50a068b4ae5549d4ae1b0:disqus or I said, frankly. It just doesn't seem…

Yeah, that's all I meant to say—if there was silence before the 80s, it certainly did seem a thing of the past by the time of my childhood in that decade.  And I think it's been a good thing; for every satanic ritual moral panic (and really, nearly every decade since the rise of mass media has had some ridiculous…

Yeah, I'm sure he didn't mean it to sound the way it does, but it still sounds that way. Why'd he even have to say "as a female"?  He could have easily said "you don't become a fully-formed human until 30" and left out the implication that it's a specifically female thing that even males can experience sometimes.…
