You said,"Couldn't care less about how 'realistic' a character behaves", so you said EXACTLY that.

The show was never a "whodunit?" If you thought it was, you were watching it wrong.

So if she had done a striptease for Nas while singing "America The Beautiful" you would be ok with that because realism does not matter and we can't blame characters for what writers tell them to do and it would have had the same narrative role as what she actually did do? Ok then.

You assume that because this is the first time he comments on her accent that this is the first time he notices it. But if he is a good con man he not only would notice it right away, he might wait to mention it and then when he does make it sound like "hey I just noticed" rather than "I noticed a long time ago but…

Nick is smart enough to figure out that the sick girl is the guy's sister and the drugs they trade for a cartload of goods is for her and thinks quickly enough to use that to save his arm, but he is too dumb to just put the candy in the cart, that clearly has tonnes of room for it. Are they even trying? All they had…

That's not how I read those Box scenes. They made a big point off him checking the box on his insurance form. They even named the episode after that box. Box (the person) has said many times what he won't be doing when he retires, but not much about what he will be doing. I think they are trying to subtly suggest that…

We know the cat did it. Revenge for her kicking him out of the house when Naz came in. The cat framed Naz because he is the reason she kicked him out. The back door was not locked and we saw how the cat can open doors in John's house. It's an open and shut case.

Yeah, his lucky breaks like a woman with a bat attacking him so he loses his bag, random dogs attack and bite him making it hard to walk and exposing him to potentially deadly infection, random bad guys show up and start shooting at him for fun. The bottom line is that unless a character dies either they never face…

The show should be renamed "Fear The Immanent Cancellation". This episode had the lowest ratings for the series yet, 10% lower than the previous episode (which was also the previous lowest rated episode). Each time it looks like the ratings have leveled off it takes another plunge. They'll let the show finish the…

"Kowalewicz also has no problem weighing in on the current U.S. political landscape with tracks like 'Big Red Gun' and 'This Is Our War,' "

Mike, I don't see Jack as having had any lapse of courage. When Shane takes Ben, Jack does not just take off and decide it's not his problem. He tries to help. But given how brutal Shane proved again and again that he could be, it seems a bit much to expect Jack to try to stage a rescue. That is just a suicide…

"…will lose viewers if they dont deliver certain clarity by the fifth episode."

Zack, like I wrote last week, I stopped watching after two episodes, but I came to read your review just in case there was something there that gave me a good reason to give it another chance. Here are the words of yours that stood out to me:
__________

Let me put it this way: It's not that the story is confusing so much as there isn't actually a story at all. Sure, a bunch of things happen, but there is no suggestion at all of what the point of any of it is, what the plot even is. Take the 1881 scene. Why give that to us now when it makes no sense at all? Should I…

Lets see …. Zack writes a review and spends the first five paragraphs criticizing the storytelling structure culminating in this comment by him:

As I said before, this is a false dichotomy. Consider this: I have watched and enjoyed lots of shows where things are not explained right away, not until many episodes later, so if it seems a problem with this show then maybe you should consider that they are just doing it badly. That was Zack's point. He said,

You assume that all shows do a good job of eventually explaining everything. You must have never watched "Lost". That show was classic for introducing things that are not explained at the time and then just ignored later. When the show is so obviously made for people who read the comics there is a possibility they…

"You sort of outed yourself as someone who has to have every detail explain to them."

Yeah, but the "I guess" is the problem for me. Knowing the creators are big fans of the comic and knowing how they have told the story so far I expect there will be a lot more of things comic readers will understand right away (like the cold open this week) and the rest of us will watch and say, "What?" Like I said…

LOL!!! All these comic fanboys with such thin skins about someone not liking their pet show are really quite amusing.
