There's a cool show hiding inside of 'Halt and Catch Fire'; it's the one about Cameron and Donna, told from their perspectives. I keep seeing hints that this show might emerge, but so far, it's just like you said. Cameron gets infantilized, and Donna gets sit-com-mommed.

There's a weird moment in this week's episode, that I think speaks to the problem with the series as a whole. Cameron's new programming team represents the future; they are the smart people who shaped the future of computing we now live in. And, all of those characters are completely marginalized. One character,…

There are only loose ends if you think the show was about the police procedural element. It's not. It's about a lot of things, not the least of which is puncturing the ridiculous, macho tropes of most police procedurals and laying them bare.

I'm sticking with my theory that Russ is under deep cover, on his own. But it seems pretty clear now that Marty really is in the dark about what Russ has been up to. I stil want to know how deep Russ buried himself in the cult; has he been participating, or watching?

They know he left the force, that he had issues, and who knows what else. We don't know much about the killers, other than they have a secret society. Rust speculated for a moment that they were tied into the task force somehow. If that's true, and that society is underneath and everywhere in Louisiana, if they're so…

Rust is under deep cover of his own making. The circle he's repeating is his wild man stint with drug enforcement. Except this time, he's gone into the Yellow King's clan, perhaps alone, working without a net that we can see.

Cohle is a suspect. The question is if he'll wake himself up, realize this, and get back on the trail of the real killer.

It's a fun, B-/B kind of a show. And within the parallel universe that it lives in (where ACN's Will McAvoy is some kind of Republican Keith Olbermann-lite meets Joe Scarborough), his reporting is perfectly reasonable. That RINO show was his version of speaking to the silent majority; namely, theoretical Republicans…
