If the writers were trying to show over-protective new parents, they went too far in the other direction — the exterminator was overkill. I wouldn't be okay with wet muddy (?) footprints in the house either, and who knows what was on his hands. (Clogging the toilet — that's understandable, can't be helped.) Would…

The tribe allowing Phil to be cruel to himself — I think a good part of that is boredom. Life is too easy for them. There's no stress, no reason to get out of bed in the morning. So hey, let's play with Phil, see what happens.

This is the first time I've seen her in anything — quite the scene-stealer. (Her name was spelled Resheida on her driver's test papers.)

The scenes with the co-workers are my only complaint about this show — their over-the-top weirdness is unbelievable. They weren't this crazy in season one.

That line reminded me of the back and forth between Tommy Lee Jones and Garrett Dillahunt in No Country for old Men. Dillahunt looking at all the bodies says something like "Well, this is a mess".

I don't know what the real Betsy Ross looked like (and I'm too lazy to look it up) but why not cast someone who doesn't look like every other badass woman on my TV? Also, showing her in her underclothes and Howe's coat — coming out of a barn? — was just silly pandering.

The Changeling still works for me — the ball bouncing down the stairs, the drowned kid under the floor. Yum.

The Skeksis (sp?) from Henson's The Dark Crystal. If I remember right — no way I'll watch that movie again — those suckers were well nigh invincible. It was just dumb luck that saved the elflings. Shudder.

I saw it as Daniel's daydream because of the prison setting but agree that it could have been Tawney's dream, or mutual — a spiritual connection.

It was a scrunchie.

Looks like Daniel took it to heart, his PO telling him he could go to prison for jaywalking. Someone else would have followed the clerk into the pool supply store as soon as she opened the door. Daniel waited for the Open sign to light up.

Agree with the first part, but I have problems with the fashion of MM. Betty and Joan wore clothes that I recognize from that time period, but Peggy and the rest of them? Nope.

That vibe came more from Abbie than from Ichabod. Ichabod was still dealing with Katrina's death, still shaken, and the writers give Abbie the "We have to go on" speech. If she'd delivered it in a softer tone, I think it would have been more effective. Ichabod's loss needed to be acknowledged.

Maybe. I'm hoping there'll be a DVD release. (I don't have iTunes.) This is one of those shows where a binge watch might be more satisfying than weekly. So there's that.

Curious as to how to watch this without the Pivot channel. Amazon is having technical difficulties with streaming. Netflix? Vudu? I was able to watch the first two episodes via Amazon but now I can't even get those. Other Amazon customers are having the same issue.

It was nice to see Sheldon being serious and thoughtful about his work, instead of grasping for honors or putting someone else down. It's probably the first time I thought "This guy knows his shit." Seeing him show some respect for Leonard was icing on the cake.

Someone (the governor?) mentioned last week that the mine was failing. If it's played out, maybe they don't need a large workforce.

Maybe it's a commentary on the practice of hospitals and nursing homes sending dying patients to hospice — keeps their stats looking good.

Hey! Gotta have something for us old farts who sported "I like Ike" buttons in 1952. (Mom had one.)
