Well, the first season is great. Subsequent seasons not so much

To those that have read the books: does Claire invariably return to Frank, and is that where the story ends? Or do the books have two distinct timelines/narratives that are somehow juxtaposed and comment on another?

I think its pretty obvious how the murder investigation is going to play out: Richie is going to have to become a mole to entrap Corrado Galasso.

Only if you're homophobic.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan simply wasn't menacing - he looked and acted as if he had just stepped out of the Village People's YMCA video. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I didn't buy that ending at all. I just thought it was a trite way to wrap up the series with mock gravitas or shock value (as opposed to bringing everything to a head).

Yep, I originally thought an angel…but she was an angel of death taking him in her embrace.

Pete killed his dad

Is the series worth watching after all? I watched the pilot, and thought it showed promise…but bailed on seeing the rating and comments for subsequent episodes.

Wow.

I also got the feeling that he was 'acting' for the screenwriter - he seemed to be overselling himself. But I don't doubt that he was exaggerating the truth either.

I mean narratively defined - as tonight's episode indicated, her fate (as opposed to her choices) appear to be tied to Jimmy's choices.

It was easy for Martha because she pretended that Dale was Chip..

If by feminist, you mean: defined by her relationship to a man, then yeah - BCS is a feminist show.

Given the fact that CK wrote himself as being completely ignorant about mental illness - whilst sympathizing with an incredulous mentally ill person - yes.

The only time the show's moral equivalence hit home is when it asked: how can you still listen to Michael Jackson?

My point is that Cosby presented himself as a father figure in the Cosby Show, and he played this role outside the show (mentoring star struck woman, chastising young black men for how they presented themselves, etc).

I didn't buy the show's curious attempt at moral equivalences across the board.

Is Karen Pittman pregnant, or was that a rolled up penis or Louie's stomach hiding under her red dress?
