They just talked about how Malick was dead, how they have all his money now, basically. And scenes from next week.

Hey, that can be Joey's codename. Cowbell is metal, after all.

Especially in a review where it is mentioned that this show goes for text rather than subtext, I thought it was wonderful that this was very subtextual and seemingly not noticed.

The grades here are based against other episodes of the show, rather than the rest of TV in general.

And his theme music will be by La Roux

I think they mentioned they were in the Badlands (which is South Dakota) and the dude just had an Australian accent. But still, your point stands. :)

"Red and Snow are best friends, a nod to the old Snow White and Rose Red fairy tales."

Meghan Ory left to be the co-lead in "Intelligence" with Josh Holloway. She's been coming back a few times a year since that show ended.

The show did establish her as really the only straight up crazy villain (aka she didn't have a reason behind it other than being batshit) and she murdered her mother and puppies for no reason. I wouldn't necessarily say she can't hurt anyone.

*shouts from the other room with a cigarette in her hand* "Ellen, are you smoking again?"
"NOOOOOOO" *chops head of lettuce*

I very much appreciated that he was terrible at it because all stereotypes aren't true.

MY BONES!

I suppose it's the same reason that the Power Rangers are still a thing / are becoming a thing again.

Ilana mentioned in "B&B-NYC" that the wifi they steal is super terrible and goes out all the time. So maybe he doesn't get enough signal and has to use what he can, because buffering helps no one in that situation.

They were definitely zombies before the party, or else they would have turned into the feral versions of zombies like everyone else did. So I absolutely agree that this was always the plan, and the reason they wanted to buy Max Rager.

Rob Thomas said the plan was to address that this season, but they got renewed for 19 episodes instead of 22 like they had planned, so they had to drop it for time constraints.

I am hoping this will also re-ingite Peyton's motivation to go after Mr. Boss in S3, since the investigation was officially closed.

I remember from an interview that Rob Thomas said they plotted the season for 22 episodes from the beginning, and they only got picked up for 19 when renewal time came. So they had 6 episodes on the back end when they had planned on 9.

And they mentioned it again last night, too.

And all of that was completely gone in the next episode, too. I hope there is some emotional fallout for Ravi for that in the next season.
