Help me out, because either I've forgotten something or never clearly understood (or maybe it's still not been saliently addressed): has Cooper always been bi, or was it a later realization or acceptance that he was gay after he'd been married for however long?  From the way he talked to his wife, I can't decide if

I'm guessing this is just a point that was so iconic in the comics that the show runners feel like they can't skip or alter it, though I haven't read that far into the comics yet to offer an opinion.

Or the end of the beginning…

Anakin/Padmé, y'all.  (Even though going by the actor's ages would make it almost Anakin/Padmé times two…)

Honestly: has there ever been a single instance where she's made the right decision about something?  Whether of significance or not?  I don't think there has…

Pedant mode here, but she's both. (In case you didn't know/But you don't have to take my word for it)

@avclub-e56f3c7f583392a5b6796622b4e04cd8:disqus  Not necessarily… if your good character means well but executes poorly, wouldn't your evil counterpart mean bad but still execute poorly?  I'll call evil counterpart Deandra, since Sweet Dee seems to be an appropriate evil double to Andrea.

I totally forgot about the hidden gun during that scene.  Good cover to avoid showing it to Milton, I guess.

Different tensions for different … mensch-ions, I guess?

Admittedly, Carl's come a long way.  And you've got to give Chandler Riggs credit; he's playing this pseudo-mature-via-situation Carl better than a lot of other kids his age play their roles on other shows on TV right now (though a lot of times, those are also characters with writing issues as well, but hey, another

I'm plenty a fan of Bear McCreary, but I think the decision this season to start using licensed music has been a sound idea.  That Fink tune set the mood for the scene better than anything scoring-to-picture would/could have.

Wilhelm?  Really?  I forgot that part…

@avclub-eac75edc18b8546c46893fe4b75ab995:disqus No, if anything, just relevant to the plot hole.  (#heyo)

Oh, how I wish this were more like a Google+ hangout, just to hear that come from your lips, Cookie_Monster.

I half thought that that weird thing where she moved off-camera one direction, then crossed back in the right direction after that line was a moment when the director just gave up and said "Fuck it, we're out of time/tape/patience; it'll do," which could only explain the amateur high-schooler home video/characters

I missed the reunion episode (thank God for Hulu Plus), but the second episode, while following a familiar-by-now formula, did I think the best job they've ever done at one of those episodes.  Aside from the one-liners, the "Ain't No Sunshine" bit had me cracking up by the time it was Young Jimmy singing it—the

Well, fingers crossed.

I'm just glad Debra's fascination with cults comes from her backstory and not some future plot twist where she somehow gets sucked in by Carroll (though I still have a feeling the writers will eventually out a principal character as being part of the cult all along, then sit back and grin about how they got us as if

I don't think we'll be able to say until we see where (if anywhere specific) the writers are going with this.

I did too.  It's always nice when a show can remember to reference its own lore.
