Looking back, if I understand the whole robbery tangle (not a certainty), Leonard Osterman (the brother) killed his sister's father, Caspere, without knowing their relationship, which is even more Oedipus. And goes nuts when he figures it out.

Only his hair club knows for sure.

Could be an interesting shot list of "films with more minutes than the books they're adapting had pages". Leaving out children's books, probably.

He'd be up against Cersei Lannister for this year's "HBO Character Who Gets Much-Deserved Punishment For The Wrong Reasons" award.

Oh nice! And quite possibly had sex with his step-mother if not his actual one. (Though most likely before she married his father.)

Look how hot those cops are!

All I can think of is that up until today we didn't know if Feraldo (is there any chance she's not based on NY Congresswoman / 1984 VP candidate Geraldine Ferraro?) wasn't another of the Master's / Palmer's pawns. But since the Master definitely knows about the virus already it does seem worth giving her a try.

How great would it have been if Eph had laid out all the hair cutting equipment, and then just pulled the wig off?

Coming soon, hipsters who are mad at how normal New York gets. Keep Times Square vampiric!!!

I'm thinking DC people just watch a lot of House Of Cards.

Oh nice! I was thinking of that as the "don't turn around until you count to a hundred" bank robber thing but your version makes a lot more sense.

Ray's final recording reminded me a lot of Thorin's final words to Bilbo. To paraphrase: "You never understood war, hobbit. If we were more like you, it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now."

It seems like they were staking out Velcoro's kid's school, though it's always possible they were onto him even before that.

Which is a town, supposedly.

Oh yeah, I think they did a little fake-out by having Jordan holding the kid but that was just so the reporter wouldn't see him. Oh…or I guess just to keep him out of the room, since as you say she basically told the reporter that Ray had plural sons.

Interesting point. Which makes it symbolic that by leaving Ani alone he's orphaning his other son, of whom he's unaware. Something there about how these people are riveted by the past and blind to the potentials of the future (except Frank, who may be more focused on the future and blind to the present).

It almost worked for me, actually. Maybe he really did like Frank, and that letting Frank live after screwing him over was Osip's tragic error a la Ray going back to the school. They didn't build the groundwork for it, but life can be pretty random sometimes.

Which makes me think maybe the whole thing was Ray's dying flashback (logically it would be from being shot in the apartment, but I'd prefer to think of it from him dying in the woods).

I think the guy asked for the suit mostly as a power play but also because he knew it was about to get ruined by Frank being stabbed or shot. I think at best Frank might have gotten to walk the desert if he said absolutely nothing after giving up the suitcase; asking for the ride probably showed that he was…

Alternate Alternate: Lumberjack Dexter lurches out of the woods, covers Burris's mouth and gives him the night-night syringe.
