So you're saying Agron & Nasir aren't realistic? Shame on you.

I suppose a man not having seen Ghost isn't unusual, so I had no idea about the title. Just thought it was more fun silliness. I'm really digging Fitz. Tony Goldwyn really pulls off "presidential" well, with just the right amount of gravity. I'd totally vote for him, even if he stole the election. Pretty cool having…

Yeah, the arena burning down was the highlight for me, probably, though the single best moment was Andy Whitfield screaming "I AM SPARTACUS!" Second is Whitfield propelled off the (edit) shield of CRIXUS to leap, sword first, toward Batiatus in "Kill Them All."

Shoulda' been an A- or thereabouts, simply for the subterfuge, from both Spartacus & Caesar, used to grab Tiberius, & the mental torture inflicted upon him. Daddy wasn't there to save him this time. The fear in his eyes was heartwarming. And also for the way the episode gave us what we wanted, the miserable end of…

Yeah, I also noticed Shaw's reaction to "It's what I would do." She just ever so slightly melted there for a moment. That's the PoI equivalent of a make out scene. They might as well have just kissed there. And it would be very sexy. It was pretty sexy as it was.

Regardless of how compelling Shaw may or may not be, Sarah Shahi is always welcome on my TV screen. She's believable enough as a badass, and she's one of the most lovely women on television. And this was a fantastic episode, though not quite as good as the original Shahi/Shaw episode.

Yeah, I'm going with water slapping as warm up, loosen the arm exercises. Oliver's all wound up, he just needs to relax.

I love Nikita, but Maggie Q is a stick figure, though a very attractive one. Shadow actually has some curves. Can't compare Shadow to Felicity, though, unless we see Felicity less encumbered with clothing. Regardless, this show is wall-to-wall beautiful women. Plus Mr. Amell and…CRIXUS!

As I wrote above, I thought it was more Stan only realizing in retrospect that he really liked Amador, and maybe feeling bad that he kept him at arm's length rather than really becoming friends with him.

Stan's reminiscences about Amador seemed like Stan looking back & appreciating what they had, feeling bad because he didn't appreciate it at the time, and only thought Amador was just a shallow little horndog.

Have to disagree. I hated Russell the first time around. I eventually just FFed through his scenes, he annoyed me so much.

I just echoed your thoughts up above about whether gangster brother was actually responsible. Now I'm even less sure.

For a moment there I thought gangster brother had gone to Sammy's & the strokefacers were there, already doing their business. He sure got a lot done while he was there, though. The logos on the wall looked flawless, even if he was using a template.

Loved seeing Cooper step in for Sergeant Dead Son. Cooper really should be in charge of something, not just riding around in a car all day. Strange how he's the most admirable character on the show, having been a drug-addicted, irresponsible cop for so long, back in the day.

How did Shaq fit in that car?

Fucking shove that guilt down real hard into the pit of your stomach and get cancer in 20 years like the rest of us motherfucker.

I apologize for my strident tone. I have no excuse. How people talk is a particular interest of mine, and I think actors should be applauded for trying, because they will almost all ultimately fail due to how regionally specific all accents are. Yet it's often the first thing people criticize when an actor tries one…

I did watch their song 5 or 6 times. They are truly wonderful. Just make the show about them already.

Accent Police out in force tonight, persecuting poor Ms. Moss & her antipodean stylings. No mention of Peter Mullan's character, whose mom is buried in Paradise, indicating that his family is from there & apparently has a long history in the community, his kids are all NZers, and yet he speaks with Mullan's own heavy…

Keep your eyes open for an American broadcast of Utopia, which was on Channel 4 in the UK. Or find it yourself by any means necessary. It is also & truly must-see TV. I am a Utopia evangelist, or proselytizer, or whatever.
