Victor Garber as the doomed ship's architect was wonderful too. Going down with his horribly-flawed creation—but he still takes time to set a clock right.

Daredevil does have an excellent Colin Farrell performance as Bullseye, however.

I love you. :)

Hee. My brother has an undying hatred of SS. He's a sword collector, so I take great sibling pleasure in introducing him thusly these days: "This is Nathan. He's got my back. I would advise not getting killed by him. His sword traps the souls of its victims." :)

Whoo, boy—godawful. Made no sense whatsoever. However, it did answer something I was wondering about—under what circumstances (if ever) could Sam Jackson give a balls-out, truly terrible, ham's-a'cookin' performance? Apparently when the director doesn't know what he's doing; the script is a disaster; and Sam figures…

The panel was cancelled.

This show needed a lot smarter writing than it got. It's debatable whether there was enough here to stretch to a series, especially since the conflict between Wells and Stevenson is the heart of the premise. That said, this was written as if 1) the writers Wiki-skimmed Wells' life and 2) relied on boring/fourth-rate…

Truly. Mercifully, I didn't try keep track. That way lies cray-cray…;)

I got the impression the firm wanted to rubber stamp a low ball settlement and expected everyone to be in line with that. (Hey, if they company was nasty enough to insist Diane leave even though they knew she was on the financial ropes, it's no stretch to figure they wouldn't want anything to disrupt their not doing…

This kind of ginned-up too-much-drama is why I quit TGW. The show got overpopulated and then had everyone triple-crossing-plus everyone else—often for no good reason. It was like the Kings had no confidence in their characters/stories and wanted to go all in on the SCANDAL thousand-water-cooler-moments route.

When Diane quit, she turned the case and the flash drive with the crucial evidence/video over to one of the partners and noted that one of the associates found the video. It wouldn't have been a leap to figure Maia was the associate.

Wasn't she canned as well for discovering the car video that proved Lockhart's Chicago-cop-clients attacked the brutality victim without provocation? And it sure didn't help many of the firm's clients lost money through her dad.

Oh, man, I tried to get into PD because I love Victorian Gothic, but it just never clicked into place. I thought it was just me. ;)

"P.S. What IS it with all these shows that have no idea how to end properly? It started with Lost and hasn't gotten any better."

"The problem is that the show kept piling on new mythology and new twists in the interests of keeping the show running at the intense pace it established in the first season."

Execution was the reason "The Hounds Of Baskerville" didn't work nearly as well as it should have. What Gatiss came up with was probably the best and only way to update it, but it was still less than the sum of a few good parts.

IIRC, the writers noted they pulled the Moriarty trigger so soon because they weren't sure they'd get another season.

Swear to God the actors deserved major props alone for repeating that name with a straight face, much less with the right emotional shadings.

I'm baffled. Why would you want an impetus to jump out?

It says a lot that one of the few intriguing things in S4 was the subsidiary boy-vanishes-overseas-to-turn-up-dead-at-home case.
