"It's pretty amazing that this show turned itself around like this."

Interesting note: Clive Owen told Andy Greenwald that the long take of Barrow opening all the windows was a time-saving thin. Soderbergh is notoriously tight with schedules, and rather than go long on the day and do multiple takes from multiple angles to get everyone talking, he just had them talk out of frame.

Clive Owen did a podcast with Andy Greenwald on Grantland, and he talks about how he never likes to play a role more than once. And he never has (up until The Knick, which he'll return to for season two apparently).

I'll clarify, sorry:

I'm still holding out hope it doesn't actually become a love story, and Quinn is just concerned for a friend … and at some point he realizes she's an awful human being and calls her out on it.

It is a little disappointing that seems to be her go-to male asset management move. And it felt totally unnecessary here … the kid wasn't about to walk out the door or anything, he was already on the hook. That's like getting a fish to bite, pulling him up to the side of your boat, then force-feeding it fish food and…

It's disgusting either way, whether it's Carrie or a man doing the honey-potting.

I don't know why he hasn't asked, "Which paper do you work for?" then gone to their website. I mean, come on kid.

It is nice to see an effective, hateable female anti-hero though. She's the only one in a recurring TV series right now, while approximately 567 male-led anti-hero shows are greenlit every single year.

Love both those series'. The Honourable Woman was such a great surprise – didn't know it would ever exist, and ended up loving it.

She's such a prick, but at least she's good at her job again.

I hope the writers lead up to it, then both Quinn and Carrie in the show realize that's completely fucked up and – like Carrie/Brody – coming from a place of vulnerability and lack of other human connection, not a true meaningful connection.

I liked Sonia's take, that this seems to be news to Quinn as well.

The family stuff worked in season one because it was all filtered through Brody's return, and that readjustment period afterward. It was directly ties to the main plot of, Is he a terrorist?

The opening episode was pretty good. The car mob scene was nightmarish – scarier than any zombie overrun the Walking Dead has done. And Corey Stoll was fantastic. I'm putting my money on him not actually being dead.

"- Epic waste of Corey Stoll. They seemed to be billing him as a lead for the season. So much for that!"

Remember when they got Jason Alexander to play a Kornheiser-inspired sitcom character?

The Eleanor Nacht stuff did nothing for me. If they would have taken that time to flesh out the DEA/CIA storyline, I think the show would have been stronger.

"The comment section is rigged, but you cannot get cancerAIDS if you do not play."

One thing The Bridge hasn't done a great job of this season is clearly connecting all these dots. It's like the show says to us, verbally, "X and Y are related and working together!" but doesn't actually show it, or what it means, or why it matters to the show.
