Not only does she introduce her judgmental aunt and uncle as such, she introduces them as such right in such a way that they can easily hear her.

"[When the?] door opened, I noticed a small light in the corner, shining on a pack of chewing gum. I can't recall the flavor, but remember in the dream thinking "Oh, my, that is a terrible flavor of gum. Who would buy that?" But apparently someone did, because there it was, in the room, a half empty pack of chewing…

I thought all the subplots wrapped up quite nicely and all had their part in the plot, but then again I watched the show over the course of six days, and I imagine it might have been a bit more confusing if I'd watched it over a more normal span of time.  It was quite twisty though, yeah.

Hey, so apparently, Hulu is being unusually straightforward about how they're going to handle this one:  "The first 5 episodes will be available the day after air.  The remaining episodes will be on an 8-day delay from air."

Oh, OK.  I just know that she didn't seem to have a very high opinion of the Copenhagen police (SPOILERS:  she seemed vaguely disgusted that the case of the dead Danish prostitute was closed after only two weeks, and she made some vaguely anti-Copenhagen police comments when talking about how they acquited the cops of…

Have you seen the original Danish-Swedish version as well?

Yeah, I think that it can be uncomfortable to watch Sonya, but I think that her difficulty in displaying empathy, misuse of basic conversational rules, and exceedingly strict adherence to rules, and the annoyed response that this evokes, is more realistic than most pop culture portrayals of people on the autism…

Aspergers is part of the spectrum of autism disorders.  Although I don't think the character in Rain Man would be high-functioning enough to have Aspergers (and, according to Wikipedia, Kim Peek, the real-life guy on whom Rain Man was based on, was not autistic, and from what I gather his savant abilities stemmed from…

I think the contrast between Kruger and Bichir will become less generic once (at least assuming that the show will in general be based off of the plot trajectory of the original) it becomes clear that Bichir's character has some depth and not-particularly-insignificant character flaws of his own, rather than being…

I know that in the original, Saga (the Swedish version of Sonya) seemed not so much to not care about bullshit on the other side of the border, as to be extremely blunt about perceived injustices committed by the Copenhagen police and social equality in general.  I don't know enough about Swedish-Danish relations to…

Having seen the show's actual opening sequence, I'd say that I much prefer the opening to Broen.

Not really.

Based off the fact that I mostly watched The Americans through Hulu this spring, my guess is that the pilot will appear on Hulu tomorrow, but within the first couple of episodes they'll revert back to the standard eight days after airing.

madbeatnk, don't plan too much; it might not turn out right.

Yeah, I probably "overuse" the label because I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to know anything in the way of spoilers in such a plot-driven and unpredictable series as ASOIAF.  I seem to remember reading that GRRM had completed a Sansa chapter for book six while I was still working my way through book three or…

That's what I figured; I was just mildly afraid that I wasn't remembering the voice of Milo correctly.

Is your niece a good playwright?

Was your nephew's date of birth the same as your father's birthday and parents' anniversary?

In my high school Narrative was required reading in our junior year.  I was actually kind of under the impression that it was a more-or-less universally assigned book in high school.  Maybe the fact that it's assigned so often to college students (I've been assigned it twice since high school) plays a factor?  But…

Ha, yeah, I tend to kind of overuse the spoiler label.
