Don’t get why so many people have a problem with minority and female actors playing characters whose gender and ethnic backgrounds are rarely ever defined in the script or source material.

Wow...i’m still deciding if I liked this last episode or not.

For those bemoaning the missing occult element, check the subtext. In this episode Ray refers to Paul as a ‘warrior-god’, and later Rick Springfield’s wax-faced psychiatrist is cribbing notes from Carlos Castaneda’s A Separate Reality. It’s a-comin’... it’s here all along.

Now that Kate has been without her loved ones for over a decade, she’s no longer so close to them and could probably adapt to knowing she’d never see them again at all.

I’m starting to think part of the reason for Wayward Pines’ existence is to give Filcher some kind of context for his own mental issues — sort of like occupational therapy writ large. Dude is not right in the head. His sister seems like a caretaker who is just letting him think he’s in charge of everything.

Because nothing says “Fellowship” like making people be there!

Next, F.L.I.P.P.E.R

I think that isn’t the thing to get hung up on, if you want to play the couldve been game he could have loaded them with less powder than a typical charge which would have made it less lethal at that distance or anything of that nature.

Does anyone else sorta wish the noir-meets-sleaze bar where Ray and Frank have their clandestine rendezvous was a real place? Even in its nightmare version, with a distinctly Lynchian Elvis impersonator crooning Bette Midler onstage, it’s a dive we’d love to get day-drunk in.

There was some fucked up psychology happening on HBO before this crime drama.

I know the sex talk was kind of shocking but it does make sense. Hell if you told me at 16 I could get knocked up and everyone would be happy and would support the baby I think I would be ok with it, if I felt like the baby would be treaty like a golden child. I mean they get everything just handed to them.

I feel like there was a regression this week. Ethan goes back and tells Theresa everything but she doesn’t believe him. Even though she knows something weird is going on. Even though she saw the thing near the gate when it took Sheriff Pope. Even though the guy she gave a house to told her he saw pods. After all that,…

I think Kate got a recorded message from her boss, not a conversation. He was in on the plan, remember? Why he would try to make her suspicious of other agents I don’t know though. Also, why are nobody considering the time differences in peoples lives odd? They talk about everything else but not the fact that they’re…

Well, if you’re the sheltered type, it’s probably not for you. But for grown-ups, it was a fantastic movie, on par with Taxi Driver.

I thought it was a fantastic film!

It really was an amazing film.

We stayed in the theaters it was so good.

Just about every interview with the creator and Gyllenhall himself point to him being a jackal-like character, subsisting like a scavenger on the misfortune of others. Unfortunately, there’s plenty of dead meat in L.A.

No, you walked out of the theater because you didn’t like it. There’s a big difference.
