I would just like to point out that Matt's costuming was ON. POINT. for the college flashbacks; I practically expected the theme to "Everwood" to start playing.

You and me both.

I loved that scene between Matt and Vanessa. We spent a lot of time hearing about how Matt was supposed to be super-charming; this was really the first time we got to see the great panty-dropper in action.

Let's be honest, though: Matt and Foggy are basically a married couple, and it is adorable.

No, you are not wrong; this show is fucking amazing.

What do we want? SLIGHTLY HIGHER GRADES!

Me, neither. Margaret weeping over his dead body just broke me. They were going to have a baby!

That's because Christopher Reeve was an exceptionally well-trained actor. He used the Alexander Technique, for Pete's sake! He was brilliant.

At least we know Matt isn't going to end up dead in a box.
RIP, Owen Slater.

Something something scallops. Flips table.

YES on more to do for Abigail and Akinbode. I'd be especially interested to see more of the former's relationship with Major Andre. It would be a terrible thing to have your freedom ripped away just when you thought you would get it, but it's also clear that the patriots didn't really give a shit about black people,…

John Andre dancing with Peggy Shippen was great. She might not be quite on his level yet, but game recognizes game.
And poor Ensign Baker. He was the one person I really hoped would be okay, because he was just such a thoroughly nice kid.

I've been surprised by how hard it's been to care about Abe. I feel like the quality that makes him an effective spy—his ability to be what other people want—is also part of what has made him a less compelling character. I don't get a sense that he's invested in much of anything. On the other hand, that's exactly why…

Can I just say how much I love that Owain Yeoman is playing Arnold? He's a great actor, and I think he'll capture Arnold's blunt bravado really well.

Yes! The women's costuming, in particular, stands out to me—I especially love Anna's joining the sewing circle. You can see that she doesn't fit: while the other ladies are wearing patterned silks with frills and lace, her status as a woman without money made clear by the fact that she's wearing an unadorned, solid…

I want that to happen. I want that so much.

It's hardly uncommon for actors to play characters younger than themselves, though. Also, JJ Feild is fine as hell, so: worth it. Worth every goddamn penny.

That poetry was pretty terrible.

I was wondering why I felt sure I recognized him! The lack of 80's glasses makes him almost handsome.

He's on the ground, and Fisk has slammed the car door on his head. Oh, that sounds nasty. And again. And again. And…oh, God…OH MY GOD HE TOOK THE GUY'S HEAD OFF WITH A CAR DOOR! narrator begins to rock back and forth, whimpering
