Ironically, that's the one thing the novela never did - suffer from too much exposition! Most of the aspects of Teresa's ascension happened with the viewers given mostly vague details.

God, how I wish someone would do a TV series based on Griselda Blanco. If you don't know who she was, look up the documentaries Cocaine Cowboys I & II. She was Pablo Escobar's boss at one time.

Alice Braga is a good actress, but Kate del Castillo OWNED "La Reina del Sur". I don't even watch novelas anymore, but I got into that one when it was on. I'll check this out, but it's going to be hard to beat the original adaptation.

A little column A, little column B. Bang in the very literal sense but a 'whimper' in the sense that her life's destiny ended up being defined by the need for her to not exist for the world to exist.

From anyone else, it would have been trite, but Patty LuPone's Dr. Seward delivered it…and the fight as well.

He really is. Even Dorian who I hated in the first two season had better moments this season than Victor did. The only noble thing he did was releasing Lily from Bedlam - prior to that, he still had the same notion that science could 'cure' her.

I did want him to die regardless, but I thought it was a sweet bit of destiny biting him on the arse that the method to his extinction were the dogs he himself trained to be killers.

For some reason, I kept thinking of "The Hollow Men" when I realized Vanessa was dead:

That added to the woeful recitation of Wordsworth by Kinnear in the background was devastating. I will miss this show so damn much if this truly was the end, but what an end it was!

Ditto that. I'm a yogi and a pacifist, but damn if I wasn't enjoying that little sadist getting destroyed by the weapons of his own creation. Namaste motherfucker!

I watched this episode last night and nearly fell out of my chair laughing at that line. A Selena/Minna show would be SUCH a great idea.

Totally onboard with Victor getting some sort of punishment. He really has been despicable this season and he never learns from the mistakes he made in the past. Every other character has thematically moved forward except Dr. Frankenstein.

Amy. She mentioned it last season to her sister.

Those were two of my favorite lines of the night. The third was Angelique's response to Victor's statement that he didn't take spirits. "Well, we won't hold that against you".

I have to say that (aside from that great last line from Archer about spit roasting Lana's mom), the best moment of this episode was when Lana's father acknowledged that Archer was a part of their family by inviting him to the Kane family reunion. That's something that's bugged me throughout the whole baby storyline.

Not that I've seen. Her earlier shows at the Carlyle were more musically inclined (lots of Sondheim), but she started incorporating more anecdotes and jokes towards the end, very similar to her taped show "Elaine Stritch at Liberty". I saw her in 2006 and she was just incredible.

She was so great on 30 Rock, but she was the fucking bomb at the Carlyle! RIP, you awesomely brassy broad!

I agree. Vincent's compassion towards Caliban is definitely geared towards his general empathy of the life Caliban has led - one in which violence has played a principal and largely physical part. Personally, I hated that he threw Maude under the bus, but I think that aside from the empathy he obviously has for…

I think Vincent also realizes that Caliban's only apparent interactions with other people have led to rejection and violence and for that reason, he doesn't socialize with others. His actions towards Maude were wrong, undoubtably, but Vincent sees the good in Caliban. Also, there's more than a bit of Victorian…
