Sheer perfection.  And Kinnaman's mastery of his craft is SO remarkable (in my TV-watching experience, at least)…the little furtive glances he shoots her way, in all episodes but particularly in this one, are exquisite.  She's rendered him completely helpless and I so envy her!!

Oy!!  Holder/Kinnaman just plain renders me speechless (and breathless)!!  Much more so than anyone I can remember.  And I've been around a bit!!!

Wow, I had NO idea that Jasmine was 20; I'd pegged her at 24-25.  And in comparison to Amy I'd up that to 30!!  (in terms of maturity as a dancer).  Agreed - Jasmine dances like a woman and Amy dances like a girl.  So far, at least.

Agreed.  It's odd…I tend to pick up a magazine during the non-dancing footage so can't speak with any authority, but I do recall hearing something he said a few weeks ago that was surprising enough that I actually glanced at the TV and thought "hmm…that was something he might want to work on!".  And I think you're…

I'm not sure they're the couple to beat, either…but man, I am really loving Amy.  Particularly loved the way she handled the silent laugh thing in the last 32 bars (I think?) - the har har har/yuk yuk yuk cartoonish face she pulled was so classic I had to rewind it a few times.  I love dancers who appreciate the…

Well, OK!!  This makes more sense.  Thanks much for the clarification…I'm always open to changing my mind about someone, but really enjoying a diOrio piece had me questioning my position in the world.

So agree about Alexis.  And color me SHOCKED that I actually really liked something by diOrio.  I'm almost embarrassed to say this.

Yeah, I did sort of wonder if something disgusting was being spun around in the ceiling fan…

The instant Linden sat down right next to him on the couch I said, "Oh, Jesus, nooooo, don't!!!!"…but by the time they'd bumped each other's heads like a couple of deer I thought it might just work.  SO glad they handled it this way.

Yes, seeing her photo on the wall was devastating.  I was expecting, though, that the picture would have been of her at 11 or 12, with shoulder-length dark brown hair and no makeup or piercings and a few freckles scattered across the bridge of her nose…as in why the hell would the Bullet we knew have ever had her…

Kaylee!!  Jesus, is that her name and is that how she spells it?  How incredibly un-Holder-y!

The best thing on teevee would have to be the understatement of the century, for me.  I almost don't want to watch him in anything else (whatever that might be) for fear that my adoration and reverence could prove to be…misguided.

Yes!!

Oh. My fucking God.  HOLDER.

Oy!!  (and liked)

"A delicious sausage machine" was classic!!!  You could see the wheels turning as soon as "delicious" flew out of his mouth, he realized he was talking about a machine, and…it was too late.  He just went with it. 

I don't know why I'd thought that they replaced Paula Deen with…eek whatshername…TV actress with long black hair.  Eva Longoria?  Although what a weird replacement.
