Well, I mean, I don't want them to never introduce any clarity into her character's actions. I'd just rather them do it as a slow onion peel instead of a "This chick's religious so she's just kind of crazy, OK?" angle.

His subordinate/partner is like MY college roommate, only substituting weed for Call of Duty.

Perhaps I should have simply said 'Lynchian' instead: bizarre, mysterious, unnerving. I hope they'll have Eleanor continue to hold most of her cards for a while; I don't mind them introducing a metaphysical or even quasi-religious bent to her character, but if I want thinly-veiled Christian-bashing I can always…

I'm really hoping that they're going more 'Twin Peaks' with Eleanor's character and less 'religious fanatic', because the latter is a tired cliche and virtually never done well.

Gah, I feel slow but I just realized that's what she's doing. Emulating Gus's death as best she can. Damn.

I do agree with Dowd about the scene with Koba on the tank; Reeves' filmmaking approach is so unobtrusive and craftsmanlike 99% of the time that when he does let his inner auteur out it can be distracting.

Kruger's English is definitely much stronger than Franke's (they're both obviously fluent, but Franke's accent is more easily detectable), although it may simply be that she had more exposure to it at a younger age.

We say 'twat', eh.

Yes, I think she's growing in comfort in the role. I also think she's probably benefitting from directors dialing back the use of obvious ASD flags they felt the need to wave on occasion in Season One.

I actually met him at an LA screening of his film "The Singing Detective". Robert Downey Jr. was supposed to be there as well but didn't show up. This was the early 2000s, so he was probably accidentally wandering into some innocent kid's bedroom like a less homicidal Eleanor Nacht.

The series of faces that Hank makes when Sonya tells him she fucked her sister's killer's brother should win Ted Levine an Emmy.

There actually are, but they're only pictures from the movie I'm referencing, so if you hadn't seen it you wouldn't know. He was a character in the Rodney Dangerfield comedy 'Back To School' and the actor portraying him (Keith Gordon) has NOT aged well.

Well, beema's not an 80s kid.

This episode has been a great PSA for teen boys, though. The next time a naked woman covered in blood tries to seduce our impressionable American boys to join her in the car wash, they'll do the sensible thing and go straight home to masturbate to their moms' JcPenney catalogs.

Rejected title for tonight's episode: "Holy Shit, What The Fuck Happened To Jason Mellon?"

We already know that Macfarlane steals other ideas and repackages them as worthless shit. The plaintiff's entire exhibit panel in this case should simply consist of "Family Guy" episodes.

Silver lining! This will give Grande more time to pursue her career in Autotune-screaming bland R&B-lite lyrics and McCurdy more time to….on second thought, there probably isn't a silver lining for McCurdy here. Hefner's on line two.

She had fallen off my 'slamdar' after Arrested Development left Fox.

In a season where the plot pretty much played out like a "Jack's Greatest Hits" montage, the standout for me was the acting. Just outstanding all around. Get William Devane a fucking Emmy. Heller used to be one of the most annoying characters in the history of 24 (how dare he keep Jack and Audrey apart!) but Devane…
