He's in footage from later episodes included in the season trailers.

Not to spoil it, but season trailers include clips with Ray in scenes that haven't been shown yet. Most pointedly, walking behind a flak-jacket-wearing Ani.

So much of the dialogue this episode was such florid prose I thought I'd been thrown into something Gus van Sant or Gregg Araki. Mostly just not how people talk in the real world, but pretty to hear nonetheless.

I
WANT
FINALE
NOW.

Also a fair point.

Fair enough.
:-)

I expected that it would take a bit longer to polish.

True, but trailing Schumer gives it the better lead-in at the moment.

But that periwinkle seemingly speaks to most (European) Disney princesses in general.

But not so much the point. She wasn't wearing it for herself, she was wearing it for him.

That blue dress was clearly spoofing the latest Cinderella film.

Very true. At worst she'd have only gotten pissed on.

All of Evelyn's daughters have been too big for their britches from the outset, it's just a question of who Evelyn can rach to kill, really.

But he'd already decided to off her at that point.

Don't insult Sembene.

Yes, but from whom? There are so many choices in the noir subgenre.

True, and also beside the point. It was a funny thing to say.

I didn't feel like that exactly, but I can understand how someone might (given some distance from the episode at this point).

An interesting perspective. I'm wondering how everybody will get fleshed out AND solve the murder in EIGHT EPISODES. Also, within a few weeks' time, will we care about either?

I have never felt so much like a show was trying to drag me into the dirt before. Not even the first season made me feel like I needed to drown in Purell. This was just fucking grimy all the way down to every last unwashed hair on Rachel McAdam's scalp or Colin Farrell's scrotum.
