A “C” is too harsh. I liked the subversive slow burn of this episode even though I do agree it seems as if things are too far gone for the blackbox to matter anymore. But perhaps the tragedy of it? Sure seems like we’re heading for a dark/cynical ending.

I definitely felt the opposite, like he was taking Nacho to Mexico to torture him because Kim made him realise he didn’t intrisically trust his own guys and needs to look there first.

Wow, that’s not a scenario I even contemplated and I could definitely see things going that way. The show is really toying with us around Kim’s fate, making us worry for her death or her disappearing via Ed Galbraith. Given those two fates are so obvious now I’m thinking  yours is more likely as a much bigger and…

Do we know how long he was out of jail when we get introduced to him in Breaking Bad?

I’m on the train that Kim is going to be forced into the “nuclear option” and Jimmy is searching for her or got a lead on her in the flash forward. I can’t imagine she dies and we still get the Jimmy we got in BCS.

This is a strange thing to both me, but getting my brain massaged by a baby deer doesn’t sound pleasant at all. Maybe nuzzled?

Ditto. I learned far too young that my mother’s ‘hall pass’ was Pierce Brosnan and my father’s was Linda Carter while we watched episodes of Remington Steele and Wonder Woman.

Both Mac and Dee were on fire in the Chop episode, and Dee’s delivery of the bridge troll line at Frank after he showed her his old photo had me howling for a good five minutes. An old insult, but still effective. And Mac and Charlie bouncing off each other at the vet’s and under the bridge (?) was comedy gold.

Ned Ryerson?

This movie looks good. I’m glad I watched it.

That’s actually a very insightful response.

Well, that didn’t play out how I expected it to. I thought for sure that since the AI doll was based on Ashley’s actual personality it would start to go to dark places, eventually leading Rachel down the same path.

Interesting how much disagreement there seems to be in the rankings, though there does seem to be a general cut-off between the stinkers and the better episodes (minus some exceptions, like Shut up and Dance, which seems very divisive). My list:

That sure is what it kept hinting at. But I kind of wish it took that premise a bit further, perhaps connecting specific missteps in previous episodes to things in this episode to really punctuate the self-awareness that those previous episodes kind of sucked simply because they put messaging ahead of story. Otherwise…

Sorry, but I vehemently disagree. This was one of the worst episodes of the season. What is the meaning of the letter his dad left behind? Whether O’Dowd or the gun or the dad or someone else is “him” or “you” ends up not being addressed, and none of the answers make sense anyways. But also, what was with the…

I agree, Jon on the throne would be terrible, but I don’t see that happening as they’ve laid out so many breadcrumbs that he’ll end up in the North with the wildlings. Going by your number two Bran would fit that (or maybe even Bronn?), but that would also be so out-of-left-field and, quite bluntly, terrible, that I…

Yet, after all of these posts of “Frasier Crane” diving and twisting into the minutiae of the comparison in overly long and condescending responses, it is supposedly us who are concerned with the “debate’s stakes”. I think they call that a lack of self-awareness, or trolling. Both work.

Claims this, then goes on to make two more long posts, one starting with “Well, I suppose I can dumb it down further.” You’ve convinced me you really are Kelsey Grammer. 

Wow, I’ve found so many great suggestions in this thread. I’ve got some catching up to do.

That’s a good one. I suppose I was more focused on it being an escape from her crimes that landed in her in a place where she was free from them but ultimately at the cost of losing those closest to her throughout the show. But you’re right in that Selina’s journey was more about the end goal of securing a position of…
