As much as I've been anticipating the transformation into Saul, now I really dread it. I didn't realize Saul was so heartless. What he did to Irene was unnecessarily cruel.

Selina has always been terrible but what she did this episode was unforgivable. Yes she stole Gary's story and that was the last straw but look at all the terrible things she did before that moment, she stole his birthday. She hijacked the party, replacing everything he had meticulously planned, with her cornpone…

As much as I love the show, I'm starting to wish they'd wrap up this whole neverending quest to launch the company. It really does start to feel like Gilligan's Island where we know they can never succeed because the show will end. Let them find success and find the funny in running a company or something. …

As much as I loved the early seasons, the last one began to lose me. They just went down one meaningless rabbit hole too many and I was struggling to stay with it at the end. With a final season I am hoping they can regain some narrative momentum and bring it all home. Right now I am bored with the "drama" of…

Every time Oleg leaves his flat, I worry about his health. The last time I expected him to step off a roof and now I fear he's getting a bullet in the head. Just 1 more episode and season Oleg. Hold out just that long!

this reality has been with them the entire run of the series. They occasionally murder innocent people for the greater good. The only difference here is that we are witnessing the moment that they hesitate and have regrets. Philip has been feeling this way a while and now Elizabeth.

I had serious doubts about BCS when it was announced, especially when they originally described it as a comedy, but it is now tied for the best drama on TV with The Americans IMHO. I'm surprised by how many people keep talking about how they don't want "Fan Service" as if showing us past events in the lives of other…

Pretty close. The shadow actor is terrible and hasn't given any sort of sense of actually being impressed by all this magic sprouting up around him until he uses it as an excuse to agree to LET SOMEBODY MURDER HIM over a checker game.
But they do a lot of slo-mo closeups so I'm very impressed by the sight of a match…

I guess the question is how Paige reads it. To me is seems like she's trying to figure out what is wrong with her. Her parents have her convinced that they're heroes of the proletariat and what does she, a teenager, know? But here is an adult confirming that no, Paige is in a fucked up situation that, like many of…

Maybe i misread the scene or the recap but my read of that final scene was that Pastor Tim inadvertantly revealed to Paige just how fucked up her home life is. Shes in the middle of it and too young to really understand yet but her parents have enlisted her into a life of lies, pushed her to break up with a decent…

Now THAT'S comedy!

AS much love as AVclub has for this show, I'm bailing. I was a huge fan for the first 2 seasons but something went terribly wrong this year and this episode looks like more of the same. I stuck with it a lot longer than I should have. With the return of Silicon Valley and Veep it's a lot easier.

No worries!

Yes I've read several books on the subject. Call me crazy but I'd also like to see a great miniseries on it.

They could have shot it creatively in a way that would make Larry King look like a badass. The entire thing was staged lazily and her limitations were magnified onscreen.

Somebody pointed out to me, after I said the actress playing Bobbie doesn't have the physicality of the character, that she's a real life professional fighter. That may be true but it doesn't come across in the show. I think it's a combination of limited skills on her part and really terrible fight coordination.

This show gets things so right it makes me wish that the creators would take on the history of the soviet union, from revolution to collapse in a long form. There is so much to be told that has never been given a decent outlet.

The slow reveal was perfect. I enjoyed every extended second of it.

I'm quickly falling out of this show. Various actors are simply not up to the task and characters are prone to do stupid things that apparently work out simply because it fits the needs of the writers.
If you want to have Naomi go rogue and put her friends' lives in danger, then give us something to believe in. …

Yeah, if he was going to do it, it seems like they would have shown it then. I hope he doesn't and maybe gets out of this ok. I would hate to see him meet such an end. He's one of my favorite characters.
