So, is it really that far-fetched to suggest that young people do, in fact, love musical numbers???  I don't recall a negative reaction when Joseph Gordon-Levitt sang and danced in 500 Days of Summer or on SNL.  And who exactly is the target audience of Glee?

The etiology of his particularly pathology is, in fact, effectively and disturbingly ambiguous, and that final scene does attempt to reduce that ambiguity.  The author used the word perfectly correctly.

To the tune of "Malkovich Malkovich":

Are you thinking of Adam Driver?  Or was Karpovsky at your screening of Lincoln?

Something nearly-naked Kelly Hu something single-handed

Yeah, I generally liked it, though there were some slow parts.  Just be sure to go in expecting a light Police Squad!-style spoof rather than his trademark social commentary.

I understood that; I just didn't understand why they didn't use some low-level hitman thug instead of highly trained operatives.

Steven Keats was also Robert Shaw's ill-fated partner in Black Sunday.

If he hadn't gone on to become famous, I would have assumed that the gun range owner in Medium Cool was a real guy they interviewed, not an actor.

If you're referring to The Departed, the original was from Hong Kong.

She gave the impression that she'd been equally supportive of some "other" psycho ex-girlfriends in the past.

True. But then, her character wasn't meant to be an expert in that field.

I think they were just establishing that the only person who could take her down was the even bigger bad-ass who trained her.

Perhaps they feel that having saved his life is payment enough.

The one other thing that might throw a first-timer is that there's no indication of how Reese survives being shot at point-blank range by Shaw.  Regular viewers know that he never goes anywhere without a flak jacket (and his enemies never aim anywhere but his chest).

That's a good explanation, though I dunno why high-level operatives like Cole and Shaw were necessary to take out a bit player like Aquino.

This was a pretty good episode, but I'm curious why Root let the CIA lady come all the way to the hotel (and thus make it possible for Wilson's men to track her) before incapacitating her.  Wouldn't it have made more sense to intercept her earlier?  Root already knew the time and place of the meet (from her earpiece).…

Is there where I talk about how the song is actually called "Kiss from a Rose"?

Clifford Odets screenplay = ancient Chinese wisdom, apparently

Charles Foster Kane the People?
