I think it's implied that he does sleep at night. It's just that when he wakes up, he's not where he was when he went to sleep. One thing that's not clear is whether he goes to different worlds EVERY TIME he goes to sleep (naps, etc.) or only at night. I guess it's one of those "suspension of disbelief" things.

What a great show, and props to McGee, Adams, VanDerWerff, Blake, Bowman, Murray, Nugent and Phipps for these fascinating, insightful reviews. I particularly enjoyed the discussion of Coach's lovability. That scene at the end of "Endless Slumper" almost reminded me of the end of Community's "Mixology Certification"

That's a good point. I guess Saul's not quite as cunning as he claims to be. What is the actor's name who plays that role? He has such an easy job.

I think perhaps Donna is reviewing this season of the show with little regard to grades for individual episodes, a method that I applaud. The grade is far from the most important thing about the review, and maybe the B+ refers to her uncertainty about the rest of the season. (I would have graded the episode higher,

By the way, this may already have been asked, but does anyone have any theories about Saul's bodyguard and his role in the episodes to come?

I'm really surprised at how excellent the acting is on this show. Ben Whishaw's Freddie is fascinating and simultaneously endearing and repulsive in unexpected ways, and Dominic West's charm is undeniable. Romola Garai is probably my favorite of the three; she's so subtle and believable in what might have been a

The episode felt more slapped together and shoddily written/directed/produced than a lot of the earlier episodes, and Garrett Dillahunt's guest stint was a disappointment; he wasn't a character so much as a plot device and a rather weird one at that. Still, I thought a lot of the acting in this was pretty stellar

I would love to read your reviews for the rest of the season! I'm catching up on MTV.com as we speak.
