Ironic we're all discussing the final season of The Shield here, since Frances Fisher (who played the older Vivian in this episode) was the mother of the teenage serial killer Dutch was investigating in those episodes.

Jeremy Howard (Lyle) was also in Season 2 of Banshee, playing an important role you'll remember if you watched Banshee, and if you haven't watched Banshee THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR GO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW AND IT WILL BECOME YOUR NEW FAVORITE SHOW!

I thought Bullock's speech to the graduating cadets was going to be: "Welcome to the GCPD. Despite being a major metropolis, Gotham apparently only has one police precinct, so space at work will be at a premium. Also, if things go as they have the last couple of years, it's a statistical likelihood that three of…

The West Wing reference reminds me that we really could use a post-apocalyptic show written by Aaron Sorkin.

Really not sure why Sasha waited for Rapey Davey to turn before putting the knife through his head. Wouldn't that be the very first thing you'd do in their world if you were locked in a room with a fresh corpse and a knife?

Better yet, in AV Club's Twitter feed right after the episode (which I had to DVR), they had the "[REDACTED] RETURNS" headline - right over a freaking PICTURE OF MARTHA.

We saw him talking on the phone with Dar in the previous episode.

While everyone's going on about Bram (and not without good reason), am I the only one who noticed how poorly thought-out the plan to steal the blackjack SUV was? I mean, the show immediately demonstrated the futility of it by having it droned as soon as it fell out of the blackjacks' control.

She died as she lived, admonishing Charlie.

Asian? Tony Plana is Cuban.

You mean The Event's Laura Innes. We all remember The Event, don't we?

Season 2 of Fargo has you covered.

And the ill-fated bartender was played by the actor who was Hal, Tom Mason's oldest son, in Falling Skies.

No kid that Carol's threatened hasn't had it coming.
