I thought he was trying to say he was up on the roof looking at the sky to see Sputnik when he was pushed off.

My money is on high-functioning bipolar with low regard for others.

I won't lie, my top two reasons to give this show a chance are still Lee Pace's eyebrows. However, I think the reviewer is grading this with some stone tablet, Mad Men rubric of TV and mistaking the show that he expects for what's really there. This show has entirely different motives and goals. I don't think the…

Reviewing reviews make me recursively uncomfortable, but I want to say that this is how I wish the expert reviews were always written. Continually referencing and reflecting on the books throughout actively utilizes the "experts" point of view and engages the intended audience. Todd's reviews aren't bad, but this…

I feel like new Daario looks a bit like a younger, darker-haired Jorah. Like he's the same kind of grizzled-yet-handsome type. It's one of the things I like about the new casting, even though he's unrecognizable as his literary counterpart.

Dreading this one far more than I did the Red Wedding. Dammit, George!

But I think it was about trying to take her power back in a situation where she feels powerless. I don't think that Rachel is a rapist necessarily, but Paul was not there of his own volition, so it isn't strictly consensual. He's being blackmailed by the Dyad, and they literally have a patent on her saying she's…

I don't think so though. Sarah grew up without a real family, she had Felix and Ms. S, but she was still a foster kid. She told Helena that Amelia was someone she had dreamed of meeting her whole life, so she has always had a strong desire to know her biological family. Helena being her twin sister is very…

Yes, because he really had no choice in the matter, and saying no was not an option. But I think the thing that makes it nuanced is that Rachel also has no choice to a certain degree. She is being forced to have a monitor. The Dyad Group has been claiming ownership of her for her entire life. She was revered, but…

Exactly. You have to embrace the operatic, fever-dream quality to really appreciate this show. I felt similarly about Pushing Daisies; you have to embrace the theatricality and not expect verisimilitude. I like to think each of Fuller's shows is it's own parallel universe, each with a slightly different set of…

The changes in the score were excellent. I thought that the tonal shifts complemented the tonal shifts in some of the violent imagery, instead of the still and picturesque we saw the bleeding and despicable. Fuller's explanation for the changes is also interesting.

Also where do Bryan Fuller & co. find out about all these fascinating dishes? Last weeks songbirds and this weeks gelatin thing were exquisite and pitch perfect.

I'm to tired to come up with any real nuanced response to this episode, but it might have been one of my favorite hours of television ever.
The sound was incredible. I enjoy the harsher "psychological" sound of the previous episodes, but this just cast a different kind of light that really suited the more gruesome…

I though about that to. It's kind of like "close proximity" or "ass-less chaps". I think saying "flat circle" works because it suggests a planar circle rather than a line bent into a ring. He's not saying that time is an endless causal loop, he's saying that it's flat membrane that higher-dimensional beings could…

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten the part about how the children hatched from what looked like bird's eggs, right? Mythology is awesome.

Wasn't Daniel the name of the "lost" Cylon who was maybe Starbuck's dad? Huh.

This was definitely my favorite scene the show has done so far. I feel like this is one of the first times we've seen that kind of raw, genuine emotion in an interaction between two clones. It's a twisted affection for sure, but it was an intense emotional moment. It works so well that those kind of emotions…

If Daniel dies, he'll just download into a new Cylon body.

To be fair though weren't the two children of Zeus half human and half god because Leda was a mortal? I can't remember the exact line, but I think Cosima only mentioned the Zeus as a swan part of the Leda story. I don't think she mentioned the second set of twins fathered by the mortal husband. So maybe she made…

Mail-in campaigns to save this show could get…interesting. I mean, I heard people sent pies to network executives after Pushing Daisies was canceled.
