No, you are correct that he has issues. Pretty horrible ones. But they're not the ones you are thinking and he's a beautiful character, excellently acted.

Bernardo's stuffed animals and arrested development will all make sense later. And fuck, if I didn't find myself rooting for him 100%.

I would say that it is anything but. It really changes and softens as you go on.

That lip-reading about this very topic, as well as the letters later, completely blew me away.

Voiello isn't bad at all.

I want the light up menacing angel that comes up in a few episodes.

Man he has some fucking showcase moments later in the season as well. As you said, I never thought he was a poor actor or anything, but I didn't know he had this in him.

His new doctrine is very much not human-friendly, in general.

It's definitely a weird show, and it has moments that don't quite work for me. However I feel that if you can get on board with the show's reality, it is rewarding.

Man I agree, surprised at how emotionally invested I became.

I felt the same way. But then it took this turn into surprisingly affecting and beautiful territory that I did not expect. Really can't wait to see what the opinions are as this goes on.

Oh indeed he does and it's fucking magnificent

His outfit when he addresses the Cardinals is fucking amazing

Holy fuck. I just finished the season, and this shit was a masterpiece.

Friendly relationships are dangerous; formal relationships…

Where the real AVClub went a few years back

That was late 80s early 90s. He was taking some ethcathinone prodrug, can't remember the brand name right now. I believe for weight loss.

What's Bruce Willis doing here? Just a cameo or does he effect the plot outcome? Why does it matter about the girls' name and the dudes initials K.C.?

This Spoiler Space tells me nothing.

Honestly I always thought Havok's best vocal was his scream, and IMO he utilized it best on the first Transplants album. I dunno why he never goes that raw with AFI.
