Did I imagine it tonight, or have I just never noticed that Rodney has his own name tattooed on his arm?

Honest to god. It hurt just to watch them stand there, not that I expected much from them.

I was irrationally angry that Jenn and Mike didn't raise their hands, too. I understand it, but it would have been fucking nice.

I'm not particularly looking forward to this, but it has Ben Mendelsohn, so I am powerless against it.

I totally agree. I think there was some unfortunate Bond-villain writing in that final family scene with Danny—"I've never felt safe in this house, and NONE OF YOU ARE SAFE IN THIS HOUSE," that made him seem more Machiavellian than he really was, but I eventually came to the conclusion that he was just taking any

My mom was a marketing exec in Florida when I was in college who worked a lot in the Keys, and Meg's wardrobe would have been considered quite fancy by the standards we saw. It's a whole other place.

Until I saw Danny's body facedown in the water and really unequivocally dead, I didn't realize how invested I was in my little fantasy that John was just dragging him around unconscious in those flashbacks. Goddammit, John.

I wonder if Mendelsohn was even willing to commit to more than one season, with all the film stuff on his plate. But I can't remember another show where one character dominated almost 100% of my interest like this. I'm just not interested in the idea of watching the other Rayburn kids trying to deal with what they've

One little detail that I liked was how chintzy and big the pendant that Danny gave Jane was, compared to the delicate little seahorse that Sarah had. I don't know why that felt so right to me, but it really did—like it had become bigger and uglier in Danny's mind over the years.

Yup, he has two Tonys. He's a really huge deal in Broadway circles, and absolutely riveting onstage, but it never translates on screen. I think he did really well as Kevin, but you'd have no idea the sort of magic he's capable of.

The reason I didn't put off watching this show was because of Norbert Leo Butz, as ridiculous as that seems now. I'm a big theater nerd, and he's my favorite musical theater actor. I'm going to try not to hold Kevin against him in the future.

I don't know if he really saw John killing him, but I think the idea might have amused him once it presented himself, maybe. I have the impression, especially with the way he seemed to be stockpiling the money for that character at the end like it was an inheritance, that he wasn't planning on leaving the Keys,

It brought Ben Mendelsohn into my life, so it's automatically better than every other show ever.

SPOILERISH

I think it's also the one with with the Eskimo brothers scene, which is such a master class in how to make someone uncomfortable enough to actually maybe die.

SPOILERISH

Yeah, if I was her mother, I wouldn't want him anywhere near any of my family. I meant solely as a viewer, I don't get the sense that she's being manipulated into position the way I do when Danny interacts with literally every other character.

It's been 20 years, and she's still Jacinda From The Real World to me.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I don't see his interactions with Jane as ominous—she seems like the one character on the whole show that he behaves genuinely with. That cooking scene in particular just felt kind of sweet and sad, since I felt like I was watching what Danny could have looked like if he'd been able to move on

I loved him on QI, and was really impressed with his ability to make everyone on the panel lose their panties in the space of about 5 seconds.
