I could hear Lux Lisbon's screams of anguish all the way from whatever state she's living in.
I think it's absolutely necessary for younger viewers (and future viewers) who would be unaware just how different things were back then. While I'm not old enough to remember the 60s, my parents (and many aunts and uncles) are about the same age as Don and Betty, and even into the late 70s/early 80s, I can attest that…
The Chalky-Narcisse feud has made this season for me. And I would definitely consider this new territory— if there was a tv show or movie that dealt with African-American gangsters in the 20s before now, I missed it.
In Season 2, Nucky killed Jimmy for betraying him, unaware that Jimmy was the one arguing against a hit; Eli was the one who said "just kill him already!" Now I'm not 100% sure, but I believe Richard was in the room and heard this. If Richard passes on this info to Nuck at some point, it should certainly spell the end…
Regarding the rabbit in the trash: Could it be it was a rabbit they consumed for dinner that was in the midst of regenerating/returning to life? …Nah, nevermind.
This isn't a spoiler, as I just watched the first episode on Sundance tonight, but I have a feeling that the explanation behind those who've returned has everything to do with the people they've returned to and not the returned themselves.
God bless you for invoking "Heathers."
"Seriously, how long does it take to trick or treat in this town?"
This will likely sound crazy, but it was something I truly believed at the time: If I had been programming NBC, I would have defied convention and put F&G on at 8:30 between Friends (at 8) and whatever else (at 9:30). Instead, they started it (iirc) leading off at 8 on Saturday nights, which gave it no shot at all.
All of it.
I still don't know what to make of Bob Benson. I know Sepinwall puts a lot of stock in Ken never being wrong, but I think he might be where Bob is concerned.
The one aspect of the episode I haven't seen commented upon: Did Lecter set up the confrontation with Tobias in his office in order to later get sympathy from Du Maurier (who was herself once attacked in her office)?
Fine by me— that just means more Alison for the rest of us!
"So was splitting Rhoda and Joe up the right move? In terms of the show’s financial success, no, but in terms of the show’s creative success, it was."
Why?
Just to clarify: Britta is the worst. Andrea is just dumb.
Off the top of my head, I'd go back to the season one finale, "Bulletville." There were bodies dropping by the truckload in that one, iirc.
Amy is indeed a "crazypants narcissist" but she does not realize this. I don't find it unrealistic that she is so lacking in self awareness— in my experience, most people are just as lacking. When everything blows up in her face in the finale next week, I expect/hope that this will lead to some real self-awareness and…
