A meatgift?

"MaNoire"! I love it when commenters do this. ("This" = christen their Significant Other via a mild alteration of their own handle.)

I dunno, some of the left sides are okay…

Shredded :)

Dear Savage Arsehole:

"The G.O.B. and Maeby episodes were great, but…"

I just saw that the premiere got huge ratings so… That's good insofar as it means we'll likely get more seasons of the show, but it might also mean that there's no real incentive to tinker with it.

Yeah, a nice bit of Ender's Game there too.

@JeetRaut:disqus :

Me, too. Though my first label for him for some reason was "Landry's dad!"

I do wonder what would happen (i.e., would a lot of money be lost?) if a show made 52 episodes and aired one every week for a year straight.

I do think it would be relatively easy to improve the show a lot, given the positives that are already there (cast, setting, premise).

So long! (mire)

Like when an email gets forwarded and reforwarded:

I like your take on "Northern Exposure," that even white folks can experience literal Native-American stuff since the land is so seeped in it. (However, I don't think "Longmire" has done enough to establish this notion.)

I found the hallucinations dramatically inert. There's just so little chance that they will advance his character progression. Much more likely is for them to be inserted for a little flavor in this episode and then get reset in the next one. In other words, there is no chance that anything will come of them or that…

Now that you mention it, I think I like the idea that Walt was failing miserably at his (ill-considered) rescue. (It *was* pretty clear that the two men on horseback would end up having to rescue *him*…)

Was he coy about his flashbacky past?

He did it about three or four times, too; I couldn't figure out whether it was to conserve body temperature or, as you say, to safeguard a baseline STYLIN' level.

The episode kept teasing us with what genre it was going to be in, and never settled into something. It wasn't Longmire picking off perps one by one. It wasn't him fighting off hypothermia either, really, since the fire-starting was quickly glossed over. There wasn't much focus on the tracking itself. The "twists"…
