And somehow you left out the best Darlene line from this episode. “I don’t like you very much.”

Agree, Mac Quayle has been doing a superb job since the series started but this was a standout episode music-wise. As well as what you mentioned, the industrial ambient techno as Elliot rummages through the building looking for a terminal was masterfully panic-inducing... and of course the crescendos.

On a show that specializes in gut-punches, that ending was the bleakest and hardest one yet. The music is always great in this show, but today it deserves special mention. The score in the beginning when Angela is talking to her mother is beautiful.

salacious cunt is a fantastic word combo.

I think the reviewer is referring more to the lack of rights for women at that time, which was a fact of life. Whereas in The Handmaid’s Tale, it’s a speculative future.

Admittedly, as a Canadian, I’m contractually obligated to worship Margaret Atwood, but I would say that Alias Grace is one of her very best novels. In my humble opinion she writes either classics or throwaways and AG is firmly in the former category. This, Handmaid’s Tale, Surfacing and Blind Assassin are her best,…

MF’in Atwood. She’s been maybe my favorite fiction writer for years, so seeing adaptations of her work do her justice just warms my heart. Now maybe HBO will reconsider passing on an Oryx and Crake (maybe her most challenging and most ambitious story) adaptation...

Referring to Winter Soldier’s programming and Tom Holland’s habit of blurting out spoilers during interviews.

Winter Soldier is Coming

I would pay real money to see that.

I’m sure they will clear this in a civilised way...

He only thinks he didn’t read the whole script.

A little birdie told me that Marvel (at least the Netflix side of things) has stopped giving crews any type of scene information on their their daily call sheets due to all the recent Game of Thrones leaks. I wouldn’t be suprised if this is just a company wide policy that extends to scripts.

Maleficent.

He’s the Winter Soldier... His mind is wiped after each mission.

To be fair, he only had the one throwaway line to remember: “Steve, since you’re dying anyways, mind if I wear your costume?”

Much better than Disney’s first idea to strap the actors into chairs and reprogram them to forget after every scene.

Of all the complaints about Age of Ultron, I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone call it “boring.” What a weird thing to complain about.

I want to see the new replacement arm. Also the sad puppy eyes. And the tension. You know what? I’m actually looking forward to this movie.
