Series finale, duh.

FINE THEN!  You guys with your goddamn historicity.

Regarding why Saul would betray the US… maybe they KILLED HIS FATHER!

Speaking of which, someone help me out here; what was it that Carrie said after "I'm half-Irish"?  I think it was something about the British, but after two viewings I still couldn't quite make it out.

That flashback where Brody was about to get on the bus and was hugging Jessica, and Mike was crackin' wise about it; that seemed like the behavior of pretty good friends.

Mmm Kate's giant ass.

According to some TV show I watched — Penn & Teller's Bullshit, I think — contracting your anus can allow you to fool a polygraph.  I can't recall, though, whether you're supposed to do it constantly, or only when you're lying, or constantly except for when you're lying.  Lies-only, I think.

Well he didn't know about his wife leaving him yet when the first polygraph happened.  I never read anything into the thing with the rug, but this polygraph was definitely at least an intentional fake-out.

If a four-year age disparity is the thing you're having the hardest time believing, I'd say Homeland is doing pretty well.

The Faisel-Aileen thing didn't feel like a fake-out to me; she's seemed, from the get-go, like the stronger/more committed of the two.  So that twist wasn't a surprise to me, but I don't think it was "dumb, given how little we know about her," since it's not like we know anything about Faisel either.  I like it this…

Regarding Sam; I disagree with your disappointment about him choosing Dexter as the one person that he wanted to talk to on his deathbed.  For one thing, he might have talked to some of his garage-folk before or after he talked to Dexter.  More importantly, I think he wanted to give Dexter a chance for redemption —…

Yeah.  He was not only playing a total piece of shit character, but playing it so badly/obnoxiously that I really wanted Dexter to kill the actual actor there.  Not really.  But, a little.

Interesting theory, and it'd be neat to give us the two opposite twists — ghost we [are supposed to] think is real, and real dude we think is a ghost.  But my approval of the idea ends there.  I don't think necromancy has a place in this show, not suddenly popping up in the sixth season after five seasons of nothing…

Agree completely; I thought Jordan Chase was a pretty excellent villain.  Lumen was the part that was hard to really get onboard with.  She worked at times, but most of the time she didn't.

Okay, I guess this is a good place to ask.  Why doesn't anyone seem to like season 3?  Aside from the fact that Miguel echoed Lila a little to much, I thought it was on about the same level as season 2.

If it's at the bottom of the ocean, it ain't floating.

Yeah; I'm saying that being crushed by a jagged piece of dome seems deadlier than electrocution, so if either of those two characters should be dead, it should be Nick, not Grimey.

Every episode takes place in a universe parallel to that which contained the last.

But Homer has all that fat to protect his body from damage, and that extra cerebral fluid to protect his head.  Dr. Nick has none of that.  You know, probably. And he said "Bye-bye, everybody!"

Line of the night:
