I really don't understand how anyone could make an argument about her giving interviews with her regular accent. What does that have to do with the movie? I kinda quit reading after that.

I've been trimming my own hair for a few years now. Nothing is more annoying than getting charged a stupid amount of money because you have natural Af-Am hair. It takes me a long time, and the initial investment in a good pair of scissors, a hair dryer, etc was kinda high, but at least I don't have to worry about…

My hair is now long enough to get into a slightly smaller version of the Janelle Monae style! Yay!

The scene also made me think about how close their family seems to be, and how difficult things must have been for all of them while Daniel was gone. I felt so bad for his mother, she had that same mix of panic and dead-eyed resignation that traumatized folks have when 'it's happening again'.

So don't read it?

This always makes me so so so happy.

If nothing else I'm glad this show introduced me to Megan Hilty and Jeremy Jordan. I love hearing both of them sing.

I literally almost turned the channel during this scene, since I couldn't reach through my TV to slap Karen. Nearly all of the characters had this selfish reaction to Kyle's death, but hers was the least subtle, which is saying a lot, since Jimmy was doing his best to turn Kyle's mourning into a self-pity-party.

Ugh, I forgot about this. Now I'm even more disgusted by this episode.

When someone (was it Borle?) said that Kyle was hit by a car, I burst into giggles and thought 'well, of course he was'. We'd all been talking about the inevitability of the show going the Jonathan Larson route, but then there it was, actually happening. They might as well have said 'he died on the way back to his…

This isn't an attack on you, @avclub-ddecec1868b6dc0c65e97efdcd6b51cb:disqus , and this seems like a strange place to say anything about the Bechdel test, but I can't quite figure out what argument is being made by pointing this out in general, but, particularly in the case of both Rectify and Game of Thrones.

Rectify is wonderful-for those folks who are still watching episodes on Demand, or others who caught the first two episodes over the weekend, please join some of the commentariat over in the comments for the show. It's lonely over there, and it really shouldn't be. This show is worth talking about.

And?

Same-all of the music took me right back to high school.

YAY PARENTHOOD!

But surely it isn't that simple, right? Otherwise we wouldn't have all of the interesting opinions and robust discussion going on here.

I was tempted to ask the same questions, @avclub-9c75bab0f5d964591655e73e7c22c540:disqus, but decided it wasn't worth it, even though I couldn't resist asking something earlier. I always hope for a good conversation with someone who is coming at something in a different way than I do, but alas, it looks as though this…

Ok, I have an honest question-why is it either 'Bay' or 'Malick'? I can't figure out why Malick is the director you keep latching onto. I suppose the Ebert references are similarly crazy, but it seems like asking more than one question is upping the risk of an incoherent response up to 'inevitable'.

It says 'wtf is this?' not 'wtf is this about?'

I get the sense that he's innocent, but I like the way the show seems to be telling us that there are more important, and complex issues at stake, so that our central question isn't 'Is Daniel guilty?', it's something like 'How does someone come back from years of emotional and physical trauma?'.
