I liked their reaction to that. They obviously aren't going to listen to Boyd Crowder right then and act on it—nor do they need to—but that look between them said 1) Man, Boyd and Raylan are looking hot today, and 2) This is interesting, and I'll remember this.

That was a hilarious scene. Those two need to get a spin-off.

Dewey Crowe doesn't understand your third person reference.

Raylan: It's about fucking time.

It's my understanding that a popular opinion is that the religious aspects become problematic as the series progresses.

I don't know, as I haven't seen Star Trek. I wouldn't think you would need to, though.

Yeah, they mentioned "several other cast members", but no specifics aside from Olmos.

Yeah, I read somewhere that the actors actually went for a while without sleep so as to really nail down the effects of sleep deprivation.

Other Stuff
-One of the best starts to a series I've ever seen, and one of my favorite episodes of television I've ever seen. The miniseries was good, but this was excellent.

Battlestar Galactica—"33" (Season 1, Episode 1)

It is.

Well, I never thought The West Wing would ever be as nerve-wracking as something like Breaking Bad can be. Then, I watched "Commencement".

That Frank/"Fiona" storyline was devastating, in particular the ending of the episode. I knew from the start that Emily was probably going to die, but that certainly didn't diminish the power of seeing Frank heartbroken and crying for Fiona, and then seeing Fiona in the prison shower. He had a part in putting her

I want them to let go of the character, too, but whenever he has a scene like the one in this episode—in which he apologizes to Fiona/Emily—I'm reminded of just how good Macy can be, and a small part of me doesn't want Frank to die.

Yes, agreed. I mean, in season 1, I never thought Mickey would turn out to be one of the most complex and interesting characters in this show, but guess what? He has, and Noel Fisher's been doing some fantastic work; he's brought a lot of depth to the character, and he's been extremely adept at inserting those

Agreed; this has been just a stellar season, and it's proving why this show is one of the best on TV.

It's probably somewhere near Jon Hamm's Emmys.

Interesting. I think it's just remained its usual, mediocre self. It still shows signs of a great show, what with episodes like "The Grove" (not as good as the hype around it suggested, but still good nonetheless); yet, I feel like most of this season amounted to nothing more than meandering, lazy attempts to get me

I didn't see the first movie and don't plan to, but the premise certainly wasn't bad. I'd like them to make a good movie out of the sequel, and I hope you're right; I'm skeptical that it'll happen, though.

The rest of the Jack Crawford arc this season should just consist of him trying to get over an addiction to Hannibal's food and eventually realizing that it's impossible to do so, culminating in a scene in which he—at Hannibal's feet—tearfully confesses his undying love for the culinary arts.
