Judging by the reactions to your proclamation, a lot of people have very different tastes in television! Which is fine and all, but maybe you could've been a mite less emphatic that yours is the ONLY acceptable way to approach it as a new viewer :P

This is a nice observation. But also part of it may simply be that Cain is his CO. He can have no illusions that he's ordering the murder of his superior. Whereas she does have the technical authority to remove him from command, if she could only maintain control over the rest of the crew.

It works well in relation to her plotline in Razor, or even maybe in a vacuum, but not so well with her plotline in this episode.

I think all y'all should be executed for spending this many comments on something we'll get to in season 3 anyway :P

Let's not overreact to the criticism, Zack is penalizing the series to the tune of a B. And yes, regardless of WHY the audience feels like the experience was lacking, we are looking at the end result, and it's fair to judge it accordingly. "It's unfortunate this storyline didn't quite live up to its potential" is a…

I'm with @chibbsvicious:disqus, well, maybe it's not SUPER "great" but it's solid backstory, whereas the Plan felt like something they threw together to fill in gaps because people kept complaining.

And you'd be over 101 if you'd skip that ridiculous extra space :P

Woo, reviews are back! Damn, I missed that reviews are back! Screw you, AV Club, for not giving an RSS feed for individual shows!

I agree with some of that theory, but in many if not most cases, torture is followed by death or life imprisonment. In such a situation, "that life" you speak of does not really exist. So the torturers are just prolonging the inevitable, and inflicting pain while they do it.

Minor point but it's "Cain".

"Tabs as spaces" is a good way to put it for the layman, good point. Winnie typing spaces definitely bugged me since it made "my side" look stupid/carpal tunnelly.

Hm, personally I have not come across this. I ALWAYS single space, it's insane to use a convention from the typewriter era. Monospaces are way wider than variable spaces anyway!

Look man, I know like 5 people total, you can't knock a guy for only knowing one gay person.

When the leak investigation started with Mike, I was wondering for a moment if we'd get Donna Moss claiming credit for the Lindbergh baby and Jimmy Hoffa, and that other guy witnessing Lizzie Proctor speaking with the devil, but they went a different, wonderful direction with that -gate.

I, for one, had the significance of all that go completely over my head, being too busy trying to figure out what Hugh Laurie had to do with Mike's groupon fuckup. Clearly I need to rewatch the season to find the thread of this Tom James intrigue again.

Sadly, it is not :) I liked the account I read an hour ago about their consultant calling a group of friends at a bar to poll them on this, and the response was along the lines of "it's 50/50 and someone's about to get stabbed with a bottle". A google search reveals similar diversity of opinion haha.

Unfortunately, hitting tab a) does not create a consistent number of spaces, and b) does not necessarily make spaces at all if you don't set it to - a "tab character" as stored in a file has different binary code than two, four, or eight spaces. Also, the show was misleading by showing Winnie hitting space bar so much…

Okay, I'm gonna try to give a "quick" outline of the debate for any non-coders who're curious and don't want to look up the dozens of articles posted in reaction to this episode elsewhere :)

They are abominations, and both sides shall unite against them for the great purge.

I guess I am too dorky to know the memes :( But again - clearly Richard is too!
