Is it wrong for me to think that Angelique finding the portrait was, in fact, a setup? I mean, Dorian didn't do anything to keep her out of there…

Craven is too weak a word. I'm going to need to look at the National Spelling Bee word list to come up with adequate descriptors for Discovery Networks and its barefaced cynicism.

I’m sticking with transgender regardless of its anachronistic quality.

So Brona and Hecate can go shoe shopping together.

Especially when it levels the rich or high-bred.

Oh, scandal trumps everything.

I find that historically it's been the very rich and the very poor who are exempted. Nobody's much concerned with the moral fiber of the poor, and the rich can make allegations go away with money as often as not. It would definitely still be a scandal if Lyle were to be outed, as an intellectual who is dependent on…

That I'll buy. Not that Dorian needs enticement of any kind.

Well, we haven't gotten to necrophilia quite yet, but that seems to be in the offing one way or another. Sex with the handicapped? Sex with amputees?

… we certainly have enough information to conclude that Lyle is a closeted homosexual.

Technicality: Tom killed Harrison, albeit at Rowan's behest.

Possibly relevant, probably not: The Nightcomers is the title of a 1971 horror movie starring Marlon Brando.

Aren't they bandmates now anyway?

The shittiest of shits ever shat.

Oh, I get that much. At least — four seasons in — we can see that there are actual policies being put forth by the administration for pundits to criticize. Too bad there's no Jon Stewart in this universe.

Well, there is that, too.
