Okay, this episode was stunning. From that fantastic opening, I felt pulled along breathlessly. I loved the piano tinkling under Colby and Price's conversation - it sounded very familiar but I couldn't place it, yet it made for a lovely trembling on the weight of their words. Also, with Price imagining himself as…

It would seem that much of the 'changing characters' sexuality' occurs because straight women like to write two pretty boys fucking. It has nothing to do with a need for "representation". I've seen very little HP slash fanfic that was actually written by gay people.

Get off my river!

I've got a hard-on for Carrillo a mile long, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. He's the shit.
As for Murphy, I stopped viewing the story through him a long time ago. I've been watching Pena and relate more to his view of events. He's a much better stand-in for the audience. Plus, you know you're going to get lots of…

I don't think it's that much different, although some of the splash and verve from those initial 'history lesson' scenes has been toned down a lot. But I think it sets the right tone. Whereas Pablo's (and Gustavo's) rise was done swiftly, the speed with which the show covered those years felt appropriate. Now that…

I like that they're giving her more focus this season, and I love the way Tata butts heads with Abuelita Escobar.

Quica is indeed terrifying. He reminds me of Little Ze from City Of God.

Are you saying this before you've watched the entirety of season two? Because he's definitely utilized this time out.

I'm going to go crazy waiting the next couple of days for episode 3 to get posted. I want to talk about it soooo bad.

Plata o plomo, putas!! Watching it now.

don't know if it was the 80's setting, or the subtitles, or the relentless brutal violence, but some folks seemed put off.

It makes me wonder what Minghella the Senior would have done with the material.

Aaron Paul either needs a better agent or a director willing to cast him in a role center stage that is completely unexpected and about as far removed from Pinkman as possible. I am rooting for the guy so hard, but I can definitely see where he might benefit from a visionary who sort of molds Paul's strengths into…

It's been almost two decades since I've seen it, I'm going to have to do a re-watch in memoriam. Everyone in the cast was fantastic. Considering Turturro's recent, wonderful turn in The Night Of, this is going to be enjoyable on many levels. I really should have done this sooner.

Oh wow. Drugs are bad, kids. Yeah, how did I forget that major part of the episode? That'll teach me to post under the influence.

But would it have been a crime scene? With her body discovered floating in the pool, wouldn't all signs point to a heart attack? She had a pacemaker. She lived in a smart home and the city was experiencing brownouts. Wouldn't it be likely that the surge to her heart was possibly attributed to some combination of those…

Or mental illness runs in the family?

One more day, bitches!!!

Isn't Moura Brazilian? I know a lot of Colombians took issue with his accent, but I don't think anything could really mar that performance. He was sensational.

I love Lane Smith's illustrations. For a while, I collected a lot of children's picture books because there are so many genius illustrators in the field. Smith's style had a surreal quality to it that my kid adored.
