very interesting. I will do as you say and read the suggested link.

I would like to know what they are. Perhaps we can speak privately.

I have wondered why Dylan was being underused since he is so intuitive about the creepy things going on between Norman and Norma. I really hope it is not a set up for another side story…..Dylan and Romero would best be used at the Motel and I hope that happens because - since we all know where this is leading…anything

I am just curious as I have no experience but is there a difference between the Nation of Islam and traditional Muslim religion? Like there would be for example between Catholicism and various subsets of that original Christianity?

This episode had the feel of a placeholder…..i.e. nothing really to do with anything at all and makes me wonder if this was one of those obligatory WGA rules where each series has to have a couple episodes each year that is outside-written. It could have been inserted anywhere into the season without losing a beat. I

I have to go back to my reaction after episode 2 which has been reinforced for me after this episode - namely, that the show needs to be about far more than trite depictions of race relations and judgments for it to sustain an audience. The acting is wonderful - Timothy Hutton is always a treat - but it's moving at so

The show finally crossed a line with me when Huck slashed Sue's throat. As television, it was a great moment because it was so unexpected. But, the disturbing presence of Huck as a character we are supposed to sympathize with has always bothered me and the most obscene part of the plot to me was the cover-up by Quinn.

I thought there was a moment in the car where Norman was watching Norma question the club owner where there was a small suggestion that he could perceive her as a threat if the mother who is alive starts to deviate too much from the mother that lives in his head. There isn't room for both of them and we know which one

Time will tell. It is smart, real, profound and has far-reaching implications. Which means is is probably doomed :)

I thought it was the best episode of the series so far and did not have any of the reservations expressed in the review. Yes, BCS must stand on its own but to fault it for relying on BB as a base that most viewers would have is not fair to the makers. Even Saul himself is interesting to us because we liked him from BB

The season so far has been a major disappointment and there are only a few episodes left to get it back to where it was in seasons 1 and 2. Frank and Claire seem to be different characters almost - Frank having lost his killer instinct and Claire behaving like a Washington wife who resents having to stay at home with

Absolutely it is but a movie can sustain it because of its running time..a weekly series is going to have to bring more to the table or there's nowhere left for it to go and viewers will tune out

Watching this episode made me realize how powerful an actor Timothy Hutton is. Even - maybe especially - in complete silence he is able to convey so much and he enriches every single scene he is in. Even 35 years later, I can still see Conrad Jarrett in his face and think he is one of the best actors around.

I tend to agree. The writers have discovered that no amount of ridiculousness turns off viewers in the fake Washington they created so they keep going all in. When Susan Ross not just giggled but looked moronic I was reminded how one squeal derailed Howard Dean's presidential aspirations. But in this Washington, the

I think first scene of next episode will be Annika coming back to the motel. I don't think he killed her. Likely she will be dropped off by some older gentleman in a very expensive car and she will thank Norman for taking care of hers :)

Already thinking about the Season 3 finale and where they may be going. Interesting choice not to show any more than Norman returning to the motel in Annika'a car. I think this really highlights the psychological focus of the show because the real horror is only what is happening within Norma and Norman's heads and
