point taken.

I liked Jennifer Barkley as a comic character.  The only thing I found a little off was that Ben seemed OOC naive.  Like obviously if she's nice to them at breakfast and says she hopes Leslie wins, that should set off raging alarm bells.  It seems like he has to be gobsmacked for the episode to have a plot.

We should count ourselves lucky that Ron didn't grow up to be a serial killer.  Especially since he seems like he'd be really good at it.

My only disappointment is that he never had a Dave sex dream.  Wasn't he drinking the right drinks?

Jane after Penny has a sugar-deprived meltdown:  That explains the Sandra Bernhard one-woman show you just screamed in our faces.

Just to clarify, I meant Torv's talents and skillz became apparent to more people as soon as she was playing two versions of the character.  But yes, at this point she's got more than that under her belt.  Including the nifty Nimoy impression.

It's amusing how awful the medical staff in Beholder are.  The nurses snigger just out of earshot about how they'd bury themselves if they were Janet.  The doctor is supposed to be the decent one but condescends to her about how she can't expect to live with normal people looking the way she does.  The hospital could…

It doesn't help Brother Jerome's case that he tries to evade the issue for so long, and that he's such a bad liar.  "Howling?  I don't hear anything.  And you didn't talk to any man in any cell that we didn't tell you about, no sir!"

I see where you're coming from, but that's kind of the episode's point.  Ellington is basically a good man, and he'll believe the poor wretch in the cell over the threatening Cecil B DeMille extras.  As it happens his kindness and decency are what the Devil uses to get in his head.

The plan may not have worked out exactly as he thought it would, but he's still alive and able to tinker with it until he can _______ (we still don't know yet.)

The great thing about her playing two so very different Olivias is that it showed off what a good actress Anna Torv was.  I had always suspected that the flat affect style was a performance choice meant to reflect her traumatic background.  Starting with the S2 finale I had proof.

Weird thing is that Markham played a different character in "Wallflower", which just aired last November.  It's odd for a show these days to reuse an actor like that, especially after so little time.

Not to nitpick, but Fauxlivia dyes her hair.  Baby Henry wouldn't be a redhead unless Miss Clairol can rewrite your genetic code.

Yeah, that was Holling, enjoying his prosthetics.

Another woman was throwing herself at him and he had Dwight kick her out.  He'd be insane not to tell Pam.  Which doesn't mean the writers will have him do it.

"Be careful, it gets easier and easier" may be the best line of the night.

In a way his jerkiness makes him easier to take.

I still have a hard time buying them as a couple, though.  Like, her character is murky so it's hard to tell what she's after, but I'd guess "brown Dennis Finch" isn't it.

It surprised me that Max's appearance didn't trigger any rapping Joaquin Phoenix jokes.

You are so so right.  In fact one of the things that makes this an outstanding episode is the wounded intensity Cynthia Ettinger brings to Rita Sue.  When she suggests six as a good number for Hannah -  that is, no chance of him not getting shot- I'm right there with her.  She is not a conventionally loving mother. …
