I disagree. This episode was a loser, in my estimation. Phil in the stocks was funny at first sight but it dragged down very quickly, and during his entire time in them I wondered where his reason for being there in the first place, Carol, was, especially while he was being tortured by Melissa and Phil 2.0. The cheese…

Too bad you turned it off halfway through, before her crisis point and breakdown at the house party when she finally realizes that "that's not crazy!" really is. I'm willing to give this one a chance and see if it can keep it up. Watching one of her dancers shaking her into Spanx during the ordeal of the Sexy Getting…

The truck explosion knocked him out too. That episode ended with speculation as to whether he was alive or dead.

Considering the extent of the slaughter going on in the town, they likely would have thought the kids had been killed or would soon be.

Why did Mrs Fisher insist on waiting for the "children" to make it to the bunker? She was their teacher, and so surely knew about the ark and that the 1st Generationers would go there instead.

Is an ad hominem your very best argument?

The State of Alabama was satisfied that Miss Lee is not being manipulated or financially exploited. And it's fine that her attorney is acting as her agent. There is no reason an attorney can't do that.

What is the obvious evidence to the contrary? Miss Lee was medically evaluated during this and was found to have capacity though profoundly hard of hearing and functionally blind due to macular degeneration. Please tell me how, in the presence of that evidence, I would err in my conclusion. Rather, I suggest that your…

Which has what to do with whether Miss Lee is "dotty" or not?

I'm not convinced the Lee is "dotty" nor am I convinced that her attorney sister's ministrations were any less predatory in terms of maintaining iron-fisted control.

"…the weird flashback to Ethan calling Pilcher and then talking to him in his office, which we had seen on screen just maybe three minutes before that, seemed jarring and wildly unnecessary."

Shut yo' mouth!

Remember that night at the Beergarden when he warned Ethan about how dangerous she is? I'll bet he's thrilled to see her taken down a rung while still terrified of the power she can call up from all of those indoctrinated kids.

It looked to me that her head was wrapped with gauze dressing.

I've always been tickled by Dr. Loony's Versailles-style office and had a feeling that he would punish the whole town eventually. This week's episode had much better pacing and storytelling rythym than any other of the series so far. Now, let's roll back and see Theresa wallop that hypnotherapist again!

I expected him to come out and say, "And now for something completely different"

Yup. That's been my conclusion since "The Truth."

Oh god, I forgot! Don't answer the phone!

Hey, whatever became of that derelict old house where Kate's partner's rotting body was, the same house they hung Beverly's body in after she was reckoned?

She's neither endearing nor self-possesed. Her initial meeting and walk home from school with Ben… remember that? She said her home was in the same direction as his and made like she was truly interested in him, but after his Mom nabbed him and took him home, Amy shrugged her shoulders then turned 180° and walked…
