Didn’t Richardson, before he got ousted, try and do the same thing with Cam Newton? Basically ask him not to get any tattoos or wear chains or things like that?

I just started watching the show, so I wish I could travel back in time a few years and discuss this with you while it was happening. Ah well, this is the same show as the man who made “Lost” I am sure we’ll meet in a flash back/sideways/forward and I can shake your hand for that commentary on the handprints and…

Knock Knock jokes, for sure. Or snorting lines and talking about how lame their parents are.

I like how in her conversations with Tommy, when she’s not even trying to pretend she has a warm, caring side like in her farce with Matt Jamison (props to him for figuring her out), her face is numb and her lips are doing what they need to, but all the action is in her eyes. She is interrogating, imploring, engaging,…

All of the GR initiation/deprogramming and then the Wayne Hugging farce. Laurie occasionally worried about him, but she hung him out to dry just like everyone else. Maybe even worse, cause she asked him to repeat such horrific experiences such as GR brainwashing again and again, then gets upset at him for kind of…

I agree with your statement about the writers framing it as rape and the character Tommy either denying he was in a place where he couldn’t consent, deluding himself that it was consensual *and then* the violence was another separate story, a lot of understandable excuses. I think partly he was attracted to Meg,…

I dunno, those always give me, give me, give me, the Honky Tonk Blues

Aw yeah I was all about Matt using all of his recently honed badass skills, as well as previously held ones such as logic & recollection, in order to deduce that Meg was just pulling the wool over his eyes. Or trying to at least. I thought Tommy was a bit street smart given that he was able to navigate such large…

The statement about the writers “choosing faith” reminds me of the previous episode Laurie vs. Vergil debate of who/what Ghost Patti really is/exemplifies. Whether she is a spirit “riding him” or the manifestation of guilt which drives Kevin towards self destruction.

I agree she’s immature, though raising Lily has definitely helped her out. I just think she was in a bit of arrested development since she was... 14? if my math checks out that is how old she was when the Departure happened since she mentions she is 17 this season when Nora asks her to drink and the Event was like…

Nora seemed really forgiving about the whole “leaving the baby on the hood of the car” and Erika was around to offer a bunch of other parenting instances where they leave the kid in mortal danger and luck has it all turn out ok. Like, most of their examples were even Pre-Rapture, before stress started kicking in even…

it is just she was very open with Nora about her dad’s issues a bit ago, and has spoken candidly about his blackouts and lack of control. Though as soon as Nora abandons them and takes Lily, suddenly everything is Kevin’s fault? For being open? The last bit is something the audience knows, but still, not that big a…

Yeah, we all wear white, or the format of the page is white, smoke cigs relentlessly cause we’re cool, and never speak...just write our thoughts down. OMG. We’re the Guilty Remnant. Of Kinja

Kevin should have taken her advice about saying the cuffs were “a sex thing”. He could have played on the fact that a kid was in the hardware store and he couldn’t get into details, and the proprietor probably would have rushed the job of cuff-cutting to get Kevin out of there. But nah, he decides to follow in his…

I agree about Jill/Nora/Kevin. Jill and Nora bonded earlier over boozin’ and talking about Kevin, very candidly, and being so open about his blackouts and desire to be good but also maybe losing himself. I think that helped spur Nora to cuff him to the bed, knowing that Kevin is worth keeping around and is seriously…

“No one should ever use The Pixies’ ‘Where Is My Mind’ in a television show or movie again,”

True. I mean, JK Simmons is only terrifying like 50% of the time (but when he turns it on, it is on!) and Shannon looks like he’s going to flip and kill somebody even when he’s a good guy. Though if you’ve seen “Boardwalk Empire” you know he can walk the line between an asshole and a crazy asshole pretty well.

I’m sure that HBO drama is going to be legit and engrossing, but when I read the title I was hoping it was a documentary on how awesome Gentleman Jack Gallagher is.
