Oh god damnit. I just wrote pretty much your first paragraph up above. Sorry!

I understand why people wanted Daniel to be killed. But, without him, Emily has no personal tie to the Grayson family. From a logistical standpoint, she's gotta have access to that house. That's where half the fucking show takes place. Okay, not half, but you know what I mean. I want to see her get up close and…

Not to be a dick, but I can get 5 video feeds from home surveillance cameras via wifi on my phone. Surely he's doing similar using Grayson Global Wifi. Nolan is of course a Tech Sensei, but the video feeds aren't from the future.

Thank you! It's REVENGE. Everything else is insignificant detail. But I like the idea of Revenge Sensei breaking Tyler out of jail.

Revenge Sensei! I had that thought, too. He's obviously more involved than we were led to believe, but I'm guessing he was cleaning up Emily's mess, rather than being part of the plan. I like the idea of him coming to the rescue, though, so maybe wishful thinking on my part.

Thanks, but my psychiatrist can only prescribe so many pills. I'll just over dose on White Collar when the world begins to overwhelm me.

Man, that Sophie Okonedo! Wondering if she puts on an Oz accent for this one. Thank you DirecTV. I'll have to check this one out.

The last Australian movie I watched, Animal Kingdom, put me off Australian anything for a good long time. That is the bleakest movie I have ever seen. So when I see something like The Slap, which looks interesting, the lizard part of my brain tells me to turn around & go back — it's Australian, and nothing good can…

I want Terminator Lydia as my bodyguard. Has there been a more Badass Female moment on the small screen? Well, probably, but that scene was brilliant.

I still have it on, but can't resist fiddling with my phone & sort of maybe paying attention. I have very low standards, able to be entertained by the lamest drama, but I can't even muster interest in this anymore. Every time it seems we're about to have an interesting confrontation that could take the show in an…

It's worth watching even if you just FF through all but the Cooper scenes. The Cooper/Sherman partnership reached a truly awesome crescendo after 3 seasons (well, 23 episodes) of buildup. As I keep saying, I really miss having those two together. The changed dynamic of their relationship could've been a really…

I miss the sure-shot Ben from the very first episode. His handling of Cooper, right up until last season's closer, makes his character this season look like a completely different person. I hope they know where they're going with him. Maybe it's just that Cudlitz brings out the best in any actor paired with him, but…

Robinson is this season's very weak link. I don't know why they can't find a decent partner for Regina King. Her character just has just completely overwhelmed her two male partners. They come across as lame & pointless compared to her intensity.

@avclub-0da7b2945e9148fed0a61ba72bfb017e:disqus If you haven't, I'd strongly recommend you go back & watch from the beginning (only 23 episodes.) I definitely see how it can come across as "photogenic LA cops whose biggest problem is that they care too much." But the character development in previous seasons,…

@avclub-a9dbf6c70f867fb5d09900f7bab79c25:disqus I can't disagree, but I'll have patience so long as Hauser does something as amusing as shooting a prisoner for fun, or because he's in a bad mood. I like the idea that he answers to no one & doesn't have much of a conscience, at least in regards to the '63 miscreants.

Leon Rippy frightens me. And Sam Neill continues to be, by far, the best thing about this show. He must ask himself every day "how in hell did I come to be working with ol' one-note Hurley?"

That's a perfect description of the one thing SK does well. Apart from looking lovely.

Thanks. I'm definitely going to watch EQ after I get through Callan. I watched a few eps back in the 80s, but I was just a college kid, with no appreciation for the awesomeness that is Edward Woodward. I am really loving Callan.

Too true. Because Cooper has been so circumspect re his private life, I had no idea how or if he might use it to help the kid. Throw in his previous back problems & that was one powerful scene, rewarding us for watching from the beginning. It really made me wish Coop & Sherman were still together. He made Sherman a…

Edward Woodward! I've just been watching his old 60s-70s show Callan (Amazon Instant Video plug.) I hardly remember The Equalizer, but Callan shows him in his prime. Great stuff.
