Thanks. You're right about Dolarhyde, of course; but for some reason I read her comment as an admission that she, at some point in the past, gave the dogs a box of chocolates, or something.

Molly says she doesn't want Will to worry if she'll "accidentally poison the dogs again?"

Robyn Miller's soundtracks for both Myst and Riven were integral to the whole experience. The closing theme (when you exited the game) was profoundly sad…like that feeling you get on the last day of a vacation.

I'm sure they don't all look the same, so I was surprised TD found one that, for me, at least, immediately recalled those now nearly iconic desert SUV sequences from BB. (It's also how the shots are composed.)

"I've written a great script for Season Two."

So Tuco and his crew had a deal with Frank that went south, and for that reason Frank gets the barrel.

I was wondering how others felt about that, so thanks.

Honestly, no. Not after this episode. I'm struggling to find any level on which this season works, aside from a few moments of clever action or dialog. And the lack of a consistent stylistic through-line means it doesn't even rise to the level of 'an interesting failure.' (Though the actors, including Vaughn, are…

What? You mean a Binaca squirt of MDMA isn't like having a glaucoma test?

No. But I did like "pin-eyed motherfucker."

Watching that, I got a flash of Ricardo Montalbán in The Naked Gun.

Yikes! That's a film I forgot about. I loved the way his actors can make that weirdly clipped and stylized dialog sing.

They might have been going for Eyes Wide Shut, but I got more of a Brian De Palma (on a bad day) vibe from that scene.
