Well, I don't think that was what Delphine had in mind, unless, of course, "dispatching others with a bolt gun" is a euphemism for "hot sex".

I think it was made clear in this episode that the battle is between crazy science and religion.

"I killed Aynsley!"
"No, Aynsley wore a scarf in the kitchen!"

If he glared at the church long enough, I'm sure it would've burst into flames.

I thought this episode was absolutely fantastic. Matthew Rhys gave a brilliant, heart-wrenching performance; I was simultaneously terrified of him and sorry for him (did you see that face on the bridge? Poor guy). Whether it's just him standing in front of his mirror getting dressed, blowing up at Paige, playing the…

The cockroach foreshadows Don's final arc, in which he tries to deal with a cockroach infestation while bonding with Sally.

Well, it may not be up to the quality of Todd's previous Mad Men work—and I do think the format would fit season retrospectives better—but I'm fine with it. It probably works better for The Americans, but still.

CHEW YOU UP INTO PIECES
THEN I WILL SPIT YOU OUT

I believe Pete has said that to him many times.

I like this review format.

This is a phenomenal episode, and the Don-Sally plot is perfect from start to finish. I love how this little journey is structured, from both of them lying at the beginning to the various power dynamics—tying in with those at the office—throughout, to the poignant moment at the end. There are some really great…

And to add onto that, what makes this character so intriguing is that this isn't just comic relief; this is very much the mark of a someone who wants to feel like she's in control of her situation, so it's like her to throw herself into whatever project she has lined up next to convince herself she's truly distanced…

Alison was so amazing here. We had her and Ramon making a gun deal in the parking lot of a supermarket, her singing in a musical, and her rape whistle and mace. I mean, seriously, who knew someone being attacked and forced into a van would be this show's comic relief? I love Orphan Black so much, and I'm happy it's…

That shot of Hannibal petting/"silencing" the lambs. Oh, Fuller.

B+

The first episode’s exploration of the Matt-Coach relationship is so well done. This is a kid without much of a father figure in his life, so it’s heartwarming to see Coach able to size up the situation and open his eyes to what he can do. I love the scene in which he goes to see Matt at his house—Lorraine’s…

Yup, exactly! Also, I love getting random old notifications.

This is a fantastic episode, and while it would be easy to merely focus on Jess and Nick after the break-up, the show makes use of the whole cast; when it does that is when it shines.

"Nick calls birds 'wind-mice'."
"Think about it."
