That's probably the only leeway I'll give this episode is that it was meant to be viewed with the next episode immediately following. I've been defending this season against naysayers for a few weeks now, and this episode made me feel like an ass for doing so. Sure, the aesthetics were great, and all of the Elliot…

New Jersey

Dom's scenes this week were far and away the weakest (well, depending on the endgame for the Angela stuff, if it is there; I'll take cliched lady cop looking for love stuff over pointless arthouse mind wankery in a narrative that seems to always ground that stuff in service of a more relatable narrative up to this…

Outside of White Rose's…. interrogation? job interview? scene, how much of this episode's reality broke with what we've seen before? Everything to do with Elliot jived with what we've seen this season as a possibility (and I thought it was the best part of this episode). Dom's and Price's scenes were very firmly…

Maybe, but Cisco wasn't a witness at that point. He was a suspect for both a missing person case and the 5-9 hack

Not at all. Dom called for units to come to the restaurant to get Cisco and (to her) Unidentified Female. While she distracted them and kept them from leaving and also while the police were already on their way in response to the initial call, the Dark Army shooter arrived to kill Cisco. So the cops were in transit…

Perhaps. I still kinda think that the Dark Army only knew to go there because Cisco had finally betrayed Darlene because he knew she was losing control and getting homicidal. He just didn't know the BOLO had been released, so he was going to be targeted himself.

The police were responding to Dom's call, not the shooter. My working theory is that Cisco called in the Dark Army prior to even knowing about the BOLO, thinking he would need their help to deal with the increasingly erratic and homicidal Darlene, which is why he wanted to go to that specific diner. He just had no…

I don't think Tyrell of S1 is an Elliot persona at all (the fact that Mobly and Romero could hear the conversation at Steel Mountain pretty much disproves that theory, unless we're down the rabbit hole of Elliot constantly remolding reality, at which point we shouldn't even bother theorizing anymore because the show…

I don't think he's aware of Elliot necessary, but he is aware that someone caused the 5/9 hack. He probably has no idea who that is but assumes it's one person who figured out how to make that happen. That person would make one of the pair of people potentially more powerful than Price (from his perspective, at least)

They kinda did. They would need to pull him out of there immediately if the cops didn't show up by that point, just to make sure he wouldn't get a chance to morphine-blab to the Feds (at least, according to their logic).

In the fourth episode this season when he met with Darlene in a flashback, he said that at his job before Allsafe, he fell asleep and went on an unconscious rage, smashing all of the servers at his workplace

I think you mean Witch & Moan?

Tiger Shit Rebellion sounds like a great thrashcore band name

…I'd give it a shot

No, no , Joel. They're not comic books. They're graphic novels.

More accurately, the minimum threshold for success. A real success for this kind of movie would be at least cracking into the top 25 worldwide box office records (not adjusted for inflation) instead of languishing in position 45, below Deadpool, Spider-Man 3, and Guardians of the Galaxy ( http://www.the-numbers.com/……

"Bombing" is very relative in this case. For the amount of money invested in BvS, not breaking into the $1 billion club is, at the very least, a dud. If it were a lower budget movie with significantly less marketing costs dumped into it and if it weren't being held up as the vanguard for the new DC cinematic universe,…

Then again, what isn't?

I enjoyed GotG on a first viewing. It's still got some charm in the character interactions, particularly in the reactions from Bautista's Drax. But so much of the movie makes no damn sense and some of the dialogue is wretched.
