"Listen—Shelby, Drew, whoever you are—there's something you need to understand: You are a criminal. You understand? You're on that side. Rachel, Bob and I, we're on this side."

I'm mad at myself that they foreshadowed the train escape TWICE and I completely missed it, even after a similar foreshadowing use of a train whistle on Breaking Bad (which I did pick up on). But the foreshadowing on Breaking Bad was obvious, being right in the cold open; this was subtle. Nicely done.

I was sure the fumes were going to ignite when she was that close.

And you caught Tim's grin as he watched it explode, of course?  Tim, you adorable little pyro, you.

YES—one of the many things I loved about this episode was how precisely the writers and actor hit the nail on the head with his taunting, like you said, just like a middle-school bully: the self-satisfied smirking, enjoying Ava and Johnny's obvious discomfort, not letting up until he got a rise out of one of them. Not…

Or maybe "Tugge," with a silent B.

@avclub-7e0ff37942c2de60cbcbd27041196ce3:disqus You gave me a fun little memory exercise, as I've been trying to remember his name for the last half hour (much more fun than just going to imdb…I thoroughly enjoyed your response to the commenter who seems to think not looking things up is a sign of mental deficiency,…

I know we heard a gunshot, but it didn't look like Bob actually got a hold of the gun—did Yolo just bleed out that quickly?  From the way his leg was gushing it certainly seems likely, which is 10x more awesome than Bob shooting him. Bravo.

That was f***********'in' awesome. Yep, extra *s and all.

"Outwardly charming with a wounded soul" seems to be what Downey does best. Phil's description of his performance in this reminded me of his character in the movie "Heart and Soul," which remains one of my secret favorites despite a completely ridiculous premise.  He sings the Star-Spangled Banner while possessed by…

Hamish Linklater as Jim!

Any other Fringe fans here think the writers were totally trying to emulate the Peter/Walter backstory?  The father-son roles were reversed, but the clothes Owen was wearing and the woodsy setting gave me flashbacks to young Peter and Reiden Lake.

I'm just going to say it: I like most covers of Leonard Cohen songs better than the originals. Could be because I usually hear the covers first, but I just don't like the synth-and-gospel choir production on most of his songs.

I might have missed this somewhere else in the comments (and maybe this is what you meant, Evil Lincoln), but didn't it seem to anyone else that Ellen May was angry at Ava, not because Ava was trying to buy her life, but solely because Ava was willing to give up Shelby to be killed?  She already knew Ava had tried to…

@avclub-7e0ff37942c2de60cbcbd27041196ce3:disqus Oh you're so right! The season is going to end with Art announcing he's not going to retire after all, so Raylan's big dream of taking charge of the office will have to wait. Honestly, can you imagine him in a position of authority?

Agreed. Considering the alternative was to have Cora become the Dark One, it's definitely good that she died.  Though that was a stone-cold way to go about it, and I'm super impressed that even though Cora's death meant the survival of everyone else, it was still emotional to the point that for a moment I was wishing…

To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death.
But what does that signify?
…

Yeah, Finch being a pilot and landing in the middle of the island, then pretending to be someone he's not (even though he does that a lot) gave me flashes back to Ben's introduction in Lost.

@avclub-be5dfeb671c12d7520445b9292e10d13:disqus A bit late, but thanks for clearing that up for me.  That's a great story too—sounds just like something that would happen in the show.  I wondered how the city felt about how it was portrayed!  But I know that David Simon used to work as a reporter there, so I figured…

I don't know if this is generally recommended by other fans of Pratchett, but since it was my introduction to him, it still holds a fond place in my heart—The Bromeliad Trilogy, beginning with Truckers.  It's really a juvenile fiction series but it has the same style and humor, with unexpectedly touching moments, as…
