Oh yeah. this show has one the greatest discrepancies between how the actors/actresses are shown and how they appear on their IMDB pages. It's a pretty, pretty cast.

A few more episodes, and we can construct a montage of people telling Healy that he's a shit human being.

I thought the point of the flashback was that even if she didn't start out as a straw-man Christian fundamentalist. she got enough support from them that she started buying into her own mythos.

Look, I could make this comment below every review, and it would still be applicable, but I'll say it once:

This show generally has a way, way more even-handed approach to religion than Weeds, but the fact that you used the term "crucifix shank" means it's still a Jenji Kohan production.

What's so funny/terrifying about him, is like Alex's speech from a few episodes back, he really does think of himself as the good guy. Daya was almost consoled with the broken-glass-rape fantasy he planned for Bennet! Similarly, he thinks pulling a gun on a small child is just how you reinforce your parental authority.

"Does this mean you're officially…"

You guys, I tried to read another novel of his to see if they were all the same. The Zahir is if anything much, much worse, and it confirms all the suspicions you had of the author.

It's weird saying this after Season 1, but Donnie and Allison really are this show's power couple. When they're on the same page, there's nothing they wouldn't do.

"So we just got a shit-ton of drug money. What do we do with it?"

I loved every part of this episode but that twist. The things that came before it made sense according to the characters and their relationships (Petra might pull that gambit she was planning in episode one! Rogelio and Xo got drunk married!)

It's easier if you imagine a mother hanging an ugly crayon drawing on the fridge.

That was a damn good recovery, given that he paused way too long after she asked if he was ashamed of her.

"I'm going to kill you all one day."

I would be fine if each season's gimmick was having a new character brought on to help solve an old character's murder. The actors might lose bargaining power between seasons, but it would keep them on their toes.

I gotcha, and I agree. And I thought the first sentence of the OP's comment was fine, really. It was the sniveling "BUT I GUESS WE CAN'T SAY THAT, PC POLICE" tone of the last part that made it dickish.

I think the answer to most questions like that ("Isn't it just as bad when they do it to us?") is that the world is monumentally unfair in our favor, so most of the shit we do slides as being the status quo, and requires more vocal-ness on our part to correct.

"Money is the cause of all our problems."

Didn't Superman punch Darkseid through several skyscrapers in the middle of the day? Even if the buildings remained standing, what are the chances he didn't kill several office workers/apartment dwellers?

I'm sure if they had a solid seven seconds of one dude face deep in the other's ass, it would have been more viral than this. It's great that they even implied it, but implications are kind of a dime a dozen.
