That's how it is for any white person who wants to do better. To give us a little credit, the rest of our society is set up to reinforce white privilege, so we do have to make it up as we go along.

Are you saying this about Joe Propinka after they explained their reasons at length?

So long as no one pokes a hole in it, you'll be fine.

Hey, AV Club editors: that image is really disturbing to me. It looks like someone with a really horrific disease. Please don't put that at the top of the article, and especially please don't put it right up on your front page.

I look at this image, and I just don't get how this makes you thinking she's urinating. The image of the rising/setting sun between her ankles strikes me as the studio trying too hard to make it seem cool, but it hardly seems scatalogically evocative to me.

I freely grant that this first episode fumbles a few moments, and gets this series off to a slow start, but I honestly don't get the disdain you evince. For example, the fight scenes are few, brief, and unspectacular, but why should they be anything else? If Iron Fist is the supreme kung fu master that is the entire…

Anna Torv. I was shocked to hear her normal accent after watching her on Fringe.

They don't explain it, but if there was security cam footage from the party (or from the bus all the women got on before they got there), then Holloway could have recognized Antigone from it. Or, maybe the name Bezzerides just stuck out for him.

Insurance? If they're that worried about Paul, better for him to be standing right there with Holloway, keeping his gun trained on the threat. Wouldn't that make more sense than staking out a subway entrance, just in case?

He might, but I suspect that all our remaining protagonists will die in the finale.

I agree, their relationship is the most interesting one in this season. I wish we had seen far more of it.

For me, this was the episode where the flaws outlined in earlier episodes were most egregious, and the final scene was the worst. Why was Burris waiting there? Was he somehow expecting Woodrugh to emerge? Why would have not thought that his old comrade and four highly trained mercenaries had Woodrugh under control?…

…or maybe it's because, in the 1960s, anti-Semitism was so pervasive that a Jewish sounding name could hurt sales.

This should be sort of show that I quite like, but other than Kiera's supersuit, everything left me cold. None of the actors felt genuine to me, and, while I don't actively despise all the characters, I have no desire to spend more time with any of them. I'll give it a few more episodes, see if warms up for me (Next…

Dear Mr. Sava:

I don't think that's where this story thread leads, but if it does, I will provide torches and pitchforks for the angry mob that will deservedly descend upon the writers.

Why let their boss get kidnapped? Because rushing with guns blazing would get a ten year old boy killed? This isn't Homeland. Our protagonists actually care about what happens to innocent bystanders and hostages.

I agree. I found the actual fighting, with heroes as capable as Ward and May so obviously desperate, quite exciting. But I do not understand why they didn't go in with assault rifles. Does Centipede make those guys bulletproof? Does SHIELD not have guns that make NRA members harder than Chinese algebra? I like…

"To me this article really read like 'I don't want to do my job today'."This is exactly my reaction. Well put.

Well said.
