If the wendigo is on top, I can't help but think it's going to get its horns sucked into the ceiling fan. thupthupTHUPTHUPTHUP.

Anything that brings Vera Farmiga, Gillian Anderson, and Mads Mikkelsen together is liable to make me die of sheer bliss.

I agree with that last bit in particular, which is another reason the scene rang false. Despite the presence of newbies, Donaldson was the one supervising the search, and by all appearances he's the most experienced, honest, and well-respected of all the COs. (Bonus points for being Admiral Rodcocker.)

Agreed. An unrivaled assemblage of world-class musicians, combined with the best sound and production value out there, in the service of an interesting and emotional narrative. How the AV Club keeps overlooking his work, I'll never know, especially when they bothered to give time and article space to a new Marilyn…

These are all good points!

It's pretty standard procedure in or out of prison. A lesser element of a criminal conspiracy implicates the ringleader in exchange for immunity or a reduced sentence. All she has to negotiate for is keeping her original release date, and she hands them an ongoing interstate criminal conspiracy and steps quite…

Ugh, don't give us any ideas. Our spin on it would probably be to turn it into a macabre version of "The Biggest Loser."

Reductive criticism of the type you describe is the flip side of the coin that bears fandom. Together they make a lovely experiment in what splitting looks like en masse.

He did also help kickstart the 'twitchy bobblehead' style of emoting that has become the go-to for male actors that don't know how to otherwise convey that they are emotionally unbalanced.

That entire movie would be Tarantino himself sitting in a cell, saying the n word and then wheezing laughter through his nose.

Or, you know, a person could just be exhausted from white America's relentless teary-eyed nostalgia for some rustic yesteryear.

Michael Shannon, John Hawkes, Christopher Meloni.

Having a skin is work, now?

Of course, in actuality, Henry Lee Lucas didn't kill that many people. His desire for notoriety coincided perfectly with the desire of unscrupulous cops to clear their backlog of unsolved cases.

Apparently the reason all this is happening is because every conversation Fuller has with NBC execs has to begin with "You know what you look like, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? A rube."

I feel like attributing it to laziness is actually more gracious than attributing it to willful misrepresentation, ha ha.

You hit the nail on the head with that last bit. That's exactly my fear! It would be one thing if the show took a moment to critique their behavior and the misinformation the folk knowledge that guided their actions was based on, even if it had worked out without anyone dying THIS TIME.
