Hooray … betrayal.

You know, he's doing some quality stuff with this Executive Producer hat. I am already starting to think more 'Todd', or even Eddie, than I am Jesse Pinkman every time I hear his voice.

I'm hoping it gets even stronger in its second. It seems like a lot of the premier season was in laying all of the groundwork for the cult, so now I expect to see some major shit go down.

Don't you mean, Todd-foolery?

Yes, this was also noted, with many people agreeing that Carla was actually trans. She looked even more so in this episode when Elliot is burning his Red Wheel Barrow journal in the red wheelbarrow.

From your lips to Esmail's ears.

I think he should have revealed it in episode three and then got on with the story already.

Ah, I was wondering what the hell the mouse meant! Kyle McLachlan turned out to be a delightful human being.

Of course he's friendly with Dave Atell. They're both secretly never nudes. Although, Atell only "plays" being one, but we know, Dave, we know.

Ah, shit, really? I have no excuse then.

I think that's a fair enough criticism. 'Theatre kid' might be a tad too far, but I think I can see some strains of that.

Spoon is just generally great.

where did you see him? I didn't even know he was in town.

Sure, but at a certain point, the truth is so much more surreal, that the joke has to go to some dark, dark places to even make a dent. If the country's answer to a schoolyard of twenty dead children and the handful of teachers trying to protect them is to buy more fucking guns then you really have to get cut-throat…

Ugh. Central Pennsylvania is right behind the entire state of Florida as "the worst". Especially when it comes to uneducated racist pig fuckers. Come to think of it, the educated ones aren't that much better.

The problem is often who is providing the facts. I see links all the time sending people to a neo-con fundy site that's supposedly stating facts I'm supposed to believe. What's really difficult is finding the actual facts. Depending on the argument, that information is not always readily available. Someone is always…

I love you, David!

Not just one person. A huge contingent of the show's audience (okay, reddit) were heavily promoting the prison theory. They figured out every visual cue. And maybe that was Esmail's intention, but it still feels like he's going back to the well.

I was really convinced it was a mental institution, as well. But the last few eps had enough other things going on that I had stopped thinking about it too much. Plus, Darlene acknowledging the 'she-devil' had me thinking that Elliot's mother was really present, but of course, that was also a misdirect.

Go back to the comments on the reviews for episode two and three here and you'll see all the reasons why people thought so.
