You owe me some cocaine, or I owe you a Pepsi, or something…

As the review mentions, the whole Kat/Monica conversation took place right in front of Vytas. So, so weird. I guess the women were super-open about intending to vote him off before Kat decided to do something. Is it as simple as that? All she had to do was stay quiet and Vytas would have been gone?

And "How do you spell your name again?" is about as big a faux pas as you can make in this game, I bet.

He was brutally efficient at Tribal. Harsh, but easy to root for thanks to the proficiency he displayed. Also he never got emotional or outright rude, which helps sell it.

It was also weird (smart? dumb?) that he voiced his own strategy at Tribal ("show vulnerability"). I guess he assumes they realize what he is doing and is trying to preempt any blowback?

Omission…

It was silly of Kat to talk more than she had to (especially after having identified that potential pitfall herself). But I also don't get Tina's motivation for blabbing. To prove her loyalty? I don't see the upside to stirring the pot. Personally, I wanted Vytas to stay, but the women's fear about an all-male

I like your logic.

"Vetus"

That clearly = you want us to initiate.

Is it less of a big deal if the man tries to initiate and the woman says no rather than the other way around? Precisely because of the same assumption that he's pretty much always ready to go.

I'm thinking now that, since she's such a square, the show will gradually give her a lot of (so far secret) neuroses; maybe she and Peralta can meet somewhere in the middle, rather than have him do all the maturing. A sort of Monica and Chandler thing: a way to make her closer to being in his league.

Hey, I don't know how much overlap there might be between the Sons of Anarchy audience and that of Revenge, but for the record Cletus Venus Van Damme and Victoria Grayson have the same mother!

I really do think that moment was created precisely to elicit this very reaction; I felt the same thing.

I think I heard something about Canada in this episode (when the husband was telling the mistress about the car accident)… Do I have that right? Obviously the main plot (re: the president) places this squarely in the US.

I love reading these reviews. And the show, despite being bad, is fun for me. With Dylan McDermott's character, the show has been trying really hard to sell him as layered (in contrast to all other characters), and, despite my better instincts, I find myself finally buying into this. That little fuck-you to his

Right… Does he take the jar with him because the money is somehow his, or because he is anticipating the need for further deposits?

And the Parent Trap remake.

His Braveheart (by way of Shrek) Scottish brogue was hilarious. Way to commit to a bit.

"Check me!"
