In the military, you always go by your last name.  Though it does seem weird that his wife would do that, but maybe they're drawing attention to how unfamiliar her husband seems to her after his eight years.  

I don't know why it annoys me as much as it does, but HBO putting the scenes from last week before the credits and Showtime putting them after bugs me.  

Harrow and Jimmy's relationship reminds me a little of the exchange between Brody and Carrie in Homeland:

This is the cop buddy that replaced Eli as chief and then was told to step down once Eli was healthy again.  So it's not outside the realm of possibility that he'll use his knowledge of the dead Mary Pickford in the garage to betray Eli and become chief once again. 

I would say Jimmy is a good tactical leader, but his long term strategies leave much to be desired.  

If I was cleaning out a dead relative's storage space and found a box of teeth I'd probably just think "Weird" and keep boxing stuff up for Goodwill.  

I liked how they got high, then went on and pretty much solved the case.  I was worried they were going to go after school special on us.  

yeah, it seems like if the cops weren't sloppy enough to set off the tripwire, they would have just cut the waitress down and she would have said, "This is the home address of the Doomsday Killer, and Edward James Olmos is a ghost."

That's his dead person camera.  He'd have had to go all the way home to get his live person camera.

Did they actually kill the old guy or just scalp him?  I mean, I figure he'd either bleed to death or they'd finish him off, but if he were to show up at the next racist old coot meeting with exposed skull, I'd say the point would be well made.

It sounds like a euphemism for bullshit, like "beer and skittles" or shenanigans.  But I've done zero research on this so it's possible I'll be made quite the fool and have to eat my hat. 

Is a Hooker Carnival a carnival with hookers or a carnival for hookers?

Yeah, I mean, he could be Tyler Durden.

So… that was Molly Parker as the sister, right?  She looks so different from when she was on "Deadwood" that it took me the whole dinner scene to place her and it was really driving me crazy.

Dead Like Me was pretty good when it started but it switched showrunners early on and that caused them to drop some of the storylines and change the mythology in ways I found a bit jarring.

If your point is Colin Hanks would be a better serial killer than television or movie star, then I am forced to agree with you.  You have crushed me in a Bigby's Hand of logic, sir.  

Yes, the implication is that they had an affair that precipitated his divorce.  (Unless his wife divorced him for allowing Claire Danes to follow-up on one of her wild theories, which seems less likely.)  

And he was pretty good as George Francisco in Alien Nation.  Although he'll always be Inigo to me.   

There's always money in the banana stand.

Yeah, at first I thought this was the "Californication" of Dexter, but then I remembered the show has always managed to sneak a little softcore in from time to time.
