I still do not understand why they cut the budget while expanding from 6 episodes to 18 from S1 to 2. The Sophia storyline was absurdly stretched-out. Yeah, the show certainly has a history of dropping the ball.

They gave Winter an ultimatum. If he wanted to do Vinyl, he had to end BE. So that's what he chose. The truncated final season serviced no one. Poor execution.

It would certainly be that explosive, 15 years later, if not even worse. The information coming to light so late doesn't diminish the act itself. It's still a raw topic for many people in New York, and those who lost loved ones.

The cell will be used, if they follow the comic, that is.

You left out "Stand Back" by The Allman Brothers Band.

That's how charter schools pick students, too. It's nothing new.

I felt the exact same way. The residents' plotlines seemed more interesting in these parts than Nick swinging at everyone and everything. Didn't make me root for him any less, but it did made him look petty. Ending still hit me.

Masterful. I agree about the Vinni subplot. Her facial expression in the last scene was a bit overkill. Otherwise, I absolutely loved the series. I wish Bernthal had screen-time in the final 2 parts! His few seconds were not enough. Alas…
