It made him impervious to harm, but only when laying down cheesy title drops.

I don't think it's ever been addressed, beyond the fact that The Machine just doesn't respond to Walter.

Aw, give 'em a break, romantic angst is the engine by which our emotional interest is driven! I think using Peter's guilt about sleeping with Fauxlivia is a relatively clever way to set it up, at least.

God damn did I roll my eyes when I saw that line coming from five miles away. I don't think it was a Community shout-out, cool as that would be, I just think shows are legally required to do it when they deal with time travel. I mean, the ubiquitousness of that joke was what Community was mocking in the first place.

If I was going to hazard a guess, I think Jones's goals have something to do with Olivia's "crowbar" connection to the machine. (Which, if memory serves, was strongly tied to her powers).

I kinda thought something was going to go wrong and Evil Nina was going to get her other arm chopped off.

Like I said, magic baby disorder, magic baby accelerator.

Also, Olivia (or Fauxlivia, at least), has some sort of genetic disorder that was likely to kill either her or the baby if she carried it to term, so Walternate accelerated the pregnancy using magic.

Also, I have to disagree with the assertion in the review that Olivia is ever really attempting to establish empathy with Nina in the episode. I think she has her pegged from early on, and is only using her questioning to confirm it to herself, and to get Peter there without arousing suspicion. Just opinions, of…

That guy's such a grouch.

I've never understood how people can hate Hank. Hank is all the dark, desperate shitty parts of ourselves, portrayed by an AMAZING comic actor. Jeffery Tambor demands your pity and your affection, in spite of yourself. I would even put Tambor as Hank ahead of Torn as Artie as the show's finest performance. And his big…

I have a sudden sinking suspicious that wo is Tim Meadow's agent, trying to build a little buzz.

I keep clicking the button, but for some reason it'll only let me "Like" this once.

Turns out she's played by…. let's say…. Moe.

That was my thought, given "cast" in the riddle.

I assume that's what "Nucky!" was referring to. But, I haven't seen the episode, so…

Wow, did anyone else who read this without watching the episode assume for a second that was Rachel Dratch in the screencap?

Beeeeeest. You mean beeeeeeeest.

Alternate opinion: Jacob Clifton's Battlestar Galactica reviews on TWoP are some of the smartest, best TV writing I've ever read. I love them, and they helped me love the show more.

Aw, I like Scar. I like it any time they played with the idea that the Raiders or the Centurions are actual living beings (am I wrong, or was there a fan theory somewhere that Scar was the Raider Kara lobotomized back in Season One? Nothing ever confirmed that, just a cool idea). And Kara being eclipsed by a new…
