Sure, I completely agree.

Favourite episodes, anyone? Either Longest Day (the return of Herrik in the third season), the one with the Succubus in Season 4, or the one with Annie's mother for me.

I'm confused as to why Phil thinks the earlier seasons were less funny and more ponderously weighty than the later ones, given that these last two seasons have seen a lot of death and angst, and earlier seasons featured a great deal of comedy ("Had an affair with Hitler, didn't you nan?"). If anything, the show's been…

WHAT HAS HUMAN SCIENCE WRAUGHT!?

She said "Och" this episode. Surely she's meant to be Scottish, or possibly some sort of Scottish parody.

"Lewis was on the panel, though necessarily tight-lipped."

French FLAGGED

Isn't that deliberate? Will's got a puffin-like (puff chested, preening, and going the way of the dinosaurs) quality to him, which I find entertaining.

The day before. So it's just the honeymoon. Which is either incredibly weird, or — and I'm guessing here — perhaps an existent phenomenon? People wanting to travel overseas on a tragic anniversary. Possible.

That's deliberate, no?

So I take it you'll be watching the entire thing, given that the show also stars Ming-Na? (Who, coincidentally, was also Mulan ^^)

New showrunner? So a third one other than Allan Ball and Brian Buckner, or just Brian Buckner? 'Cause this show has been better for Buckner and I'd hate to see him leave.

I thought it was remarkably liberal of them, until I remembered that the accepted protocol for gender reassignment surgery in infants is whether the intersexed child would be able to pee standing without surgical intervention. I could see a similar logic being in play here, in the prison system.

Mum would have known about the leg.

I loved this show, but I wish Miss Claudette had got more to do. I feel like the show really lost track of her, and then wrote her out when they no longer felt she was working for them.

Really? I thought that would be this show's "how to masturbate" clip (you know the one from Weeds that gets trotted out all the time to sell people on this show).

"And to be completely shallow: she's weird looking."
A lot of that was make-up. I've seen her in other things and she's quite good-looking (http://dansgoodside.com/wor….

It's true to life. And it was still present in the finale — the conflict between Red and the new kitchen staff was partially a race thing. I think that so much of the conflict is less intense than something like Oz means that a lot of the racism gets buried in the mix. But it does come out.

Yeah, pretty much. I figure that she was actively bullshitting when she was running around trying to hang big crosses on the chapel wall or setting herself up as a faith healer, or claiming that God could talk to her - she's so fucking scattershot in her approach early on. But when enough started going right, her…
