Hmmmm… I get where you're coming from. But it's kind of like how we still continue to use the term 'feminism' for a cause that fights for the rights of both men and women. The genesis of 'patriarchy' is grounded historically in the perspective of females fighting for freedom from gender restraints. That it pertains to…

I would respectfully disagree. I believe that many of Josh's abuses, such as those you have listed, are directly linked to his position as a man in the patriarchal binary. As I see it, the patriarchy is not just about all males asserting dominance over all females - it's about a very narrow concept of gender ruling…

I cannot help but feel that your aversion to the Catholic Church (as founded as it may be) is colouring your argument here. Regardless of the details, what Cleary did is pretty abominable. It stripped her of any agency, as many others have mentioned, and reeks of the kind of patriarchal abuse that was commonplace…

Yeah and she is also a stone cold fox.

Really? How so?

What does it say about me that I have never hated Gallinger, a proven racist and eugenicist megalomaniac, more than when he pathetically sucker punched Algie?

Dude. This film SUCKED. Come on! I know I'm being loud and boorish and obnoxious here, and I usually would never come on here just to say this, but that was so bad. Dear God.

But that's been this season's one consistency: its very inconsistency. Hawley seems to be interested in playing around and experimenting with television at the moment. That's why each episode has employed different stylistic and storytelling departures. Think of the stock footage in the opening, the UFO appearances,…

Ah, interesting. Thanks for the insight.

So are Dianne Wiest and James Brolin playing parents in this too?

Haha yay someone else

Interesting how many great TV directors came from acting originally. Fred Savage is another one.

Yes, yes, yes.

Who's been saying that? It's a little broad, to be sure, but I think it works perfectly in this particular universe. Also, in a show full of wonderful OTT accents, his might be one of the best.

I never watched Burn Notice because, well, it looked lame (I know, I know, I hear it's not bad). But now I'm asking: where has Jeffrey Donovan been all my life?! His reaction shots to Kirsten Dunst (also magnificent) might be the funniest thing I've seen all year.

Very entertaining and off-kilter hour of television. Peggy Blumquist is slowly becoming my favourite TV character of the year, and it may be the role Kirsten Dunst was born to play. I'd even go as far as to say her performance surpasses Alison Tolman's last season (although, to be fair, it is a showier role).

Also, similar to Frank Whaley, he's just recently got a regular role on a major television series. So a lot of these recollections of all the small roles and the struggle can be viewed through the rose-tinted lens of "But it all led to this…"

I don't mean to pick on her appearance, because I think she's really attractive no matter what, but I have noticed that her hairline seems thinner as well.

What does EW stand for?

Yeah, I watched this with my Mum and Dad last night (both of whom are British). They admitted that everyone used to watch the minstrel shows in England even by the time they were teenagers.
