I rest my case. a lot of us genuinely enjoy the show, for probably different reasons, the least of them is to feel smug or "smart", that would be pretty stupid. Don't spoil our fun because you don't like it. Artistic and cinematographic choices have been made on purpose to make us feel something (like on the primary…

that's exactly what would kill the show for me. but hoppefully it's smarter than this.

you're proably right, he's imitating the voice of the character in Casablanca, that's why his voice sounded different.

yeah that would be the most obvious.

twin peaks, (the show)
(also Blue Velvet, Eraserhead, Mullolland Drive I think. distant memories)

the whole episode was about atmosphere and tension building so yeah, it was "necessary". If you find this boring then I suggest you definitely don't watch masterpieces such as Nostalghia or any Tarkovsky movies.

wow. this one took the show to another level, and was great toying with the audience and expectations. Really hope it won't lead to any cheap-trick deus ex machina crap ("it's a virtual reality!" or "it was all a dream" or maybe "it's an alternate universe"), but I'm pretty confident it won't, and that the episode was…

yeah, nods to David Lynch all the way (also, the Louie episode featuring David Lynch as a "tv coach" being cheered by an imaginary crowd was on this level)

it was, but he doesn't only sends a fax, he needs to spoof the fax number of the NYPD. best low-tech / social hack of the show anyway.

Cisco certainly got killed, the guy shot a few dozens bullets with an automatic weapon right in his head, it made a big red splash. Darlene and Dom ducked just before the guy starts shooting, Darlene is almost certainly fine. and the guy is too far to shoot below the window. question is will she have time to escape…

few observations:
you can actually buy a laptop with a 4 SSD raid 3 setup?
almost all the wifi networks Elliot sees seemed to have been hacked, possibly by him, but that wouldn't make much sense since he needs only one, and he's been out of his place for quite some time now, his neighbours would have do something about…

the last shot was incredible.

yeah cause and effect, but on the other end the FBI chief deliberately put his portrait in the media, with the knowledge it could him, so he has a real responsability in this. also the guy who actually pull the trigger.

ok, thanks, I see now. As you say there are a lot of shots where characters are way off the center or the frame (often very precisely in one quarter). There are also quite a lot of very symmetrical shots with characters very small on one end (beautiful, like the pool, or the outside of the prison, or the library…

There's no reason to think Ollie wouldn't spill the beans to the FBI at the first occasion, that is his nature.

no everything really happened, except in the prison, I don't see why not. the scenes where he used the computer happened pretty much this way (looks like a prison office to me), except they're wearing prisoners and guards costumes.

yeah it is, obviously.

not exactly sure what you mean, is there something technically wrong specifically? I find it good, sometimes great, pretty inventive, and never thought it was in the way. Colors are often pretty cold and the tone is a bit grim (a bit "greenish"?). I would say there's a 90's vibe to it, but not sure if it is the…

more disturbing, did the FBI actually raided the prison?
