I didn't know that, but I did wonder if she had a dancing background, because she moved really well in those scenes this episode. That makes sense.

…whoa. That's really good.

I thought he WAS so happy. I think he's such a fine agent that he picked up on the "WTF?!"ness of her reaction, and isn't going to be able to stop thinking about it until he finds out the truth. (Which is maybe that she's just an FBI fangirl. Are there FBI fangirls?)

It meant she can't stop working, which was (I realized upon rewatching) what Philip was suggesting they do when he said they had the right to have lives. While Elizabeth has enjoyed the very occasional vacation from the job she and Philip have taken, and has not enjoyed the job as much this season, it's still such a…

I think that's exactly why this may have been my favorite season so far.

"his occasional flash of true genius" — that's really the key, to my mind, as to why the character is as great as it is.

I wonder if sensates begin to pick up some of their clustermates' traits, especially the most dominant clustermate. Meaning if you're in a cluster with a Lila or a Whispers, you begin to become self-centered and/or nihilistic. Because, if so, maybe our cluster is extremely unusual in that, while they're all flawed,…

"We have a Hulk."
"We've got a Sun."
"…shit."

Same thing in this episodes, when Capheus first wakes up and doesn't realize that the sensates aren't really in his house.

I thought The Golden Compass was brilliant—literally one of the best children's or fantasy novels I'd ever read. I thought The Subtle Knife was really, really good…which is high praise for a book, but also a big dropoff from the first. I thought the third was an absolute mess, and always hoped Pullman (who rumor had…

Dad here and, yeah, that's pretty much it. Also, my kids get Gamestop gift cards from their cool uncle.

I love his willingness to toss aside what made him famous and to follow the muse wherever it leads. I just wish it didn't keep leading him where it does, 'cuz I think his debut is one of the truly great records of this century and there's almost nothing I've liked on or about either of his two albums since. Thank the…

"God only made one Bob Stinson" Sadly true—although reading the Bob stuff in Trouble Boys might make one glad that no one else had to go through what the real Bob went through—although of course Bob didn't actually play on "Alex Chilton."

Because I think that's exactly what he likes: just a person or people talking. He doesn't really think in visual terms. So what's engaging for 10 or even 30 minutes doesn't work for most viewers for 90+, generally speaking.

Sadly, Trump only won because the electoral college, which was invented to keep conservative white males in the south (aka slaveowners) disproportionately powerful, is still working exactly as intended.

This is exactly why I don't miss Jon Stewart. I was a devoted viewer of his show—almost never missed an episode—but by the end of his run, he had devolved into a "both sides do it" bullshit centrist stance, as best exemplified by the reprehensibly vapid March for Sanity preen-fest. John Oliver and Sam Bee have taken…

That's exactly it. I'm sure she lied about it in order to try to keep her daughter away, to give her kid absolutely no reason to come check out this horrible place.

Mike Wazowski?
