When she got up and went to the door, I was expecting she was either going to walk out or lock it. That she did neither speaks both to her brilliance and to that of the writing.

"This guy fucks!"

I spent most of the scene at her place with Dawn wondering if Dawn was about to misinterpret what she was saying as a lesbian come-on… like the thought bubble above her head: "she -did- seem friendly with that lady photographer today…"

"You wouldn't believe the things they let me get away with" is the quote, just double-checked. Not as direct a Dump quote as I remembered it being… but scary prescient if it was filmed last year *shudder*

I totally would have seen that coming if I'd seen that coming

Didn't the tabloid cover of him that Sherlock shot have a quote something like 'when you're rich they'll let you do anything you want'? I couldn't help but see that as a "grab 'em by the p****" reference…

It's the weird 3-5 seconds of silence (is it less? it probably only feels like 10) before Fiona coughs forth "AwwuzscREEmin" that always give me a stomachache

They're signaling so hard that Gunther's a hallucination that at this point it would be a bigger twist having him turn out real.

The Affair, the show where the words "wait wait, this is a terrible idea, we should stop right now" just. don't. exist.

My discomfort was much higher when Harry was talking filth about Megan with her right behind him. You must remember that scene— it went on for 20 minutes and then kept going for another 20 minutes while I clawed my face off

Exactly— that wasn't abuse, that was foreplay.

There's no way Whitney would have stabbed him without yelling at him first, probably a full supervillain-style monologue

Huh, most on-line sources back up Opal City being in MD… now I'm trying to remember who it was who told me initially that Opal was supposed to be Boston…

Baltimore as the site of every terrible thing ever was more a trope in "The X-Files" than "The Wire"

You forgot Opal City, which is a hybrid of Boston and Providence, RI, and Gateway City, which is San Francisco. There are probably more…

Nor is it the 5 of diamonds.

It also fits with the "Noah stabbed himself" theory that some posters have been floating. I didn't buy it at first, but now I think they're dead on

I remember that episode of "Elementary"!

It was pretty clear that Fraser's C.O. is a paranoid hallucination post-release, but as of him dogging Noah on the way back to the cell after Alison's visit, I'm starting to wonder if he was a figment of Noah's imagination even in the flashbacks. Something about the stuff he was saying sounded more like an inner voice…

wrong, because everybody loves Mr. Poopy Butthole and nobody loves Myers any more
