Whoever was doing the shoveling was doing it all wrong.

So does Cole (a) still have to go back to Monday and rinse repeat ad infinitum while Cole (b) goes back to 2015? I'm not smart enough to follow that bouncing ball.

Spidey senses!

I'm not really certain she wasn't happy to see him.

Delaware begging for his wife and children would have been much more effective if we hadn't been shown his wife being tortured. Gordon had asked what the price was, and I'd rather have been left with my imagination than with what was *almost* a comic spectacle of wifey being dunked like so much laundry.

I remember that miniseries. Good comparison.

Agree on Miss Bunting. I cringe every time she opens her mouth, because she's not intelligently challenging, she's usually just plain rude and seems to think it a mission to put everybody in her idea of their place at every opportunity. I'd much rather see a character who chose her battles and her words more…

Thinking about it now, I could see the episode centered entirely around the murdered man's wife, from the get go. I think those might be her screams we hear in the opening segment? An episode that went back and forth between this woman's personal story, in which she meets none of our series regulars until her meeting…

Orlando Jones was too in the opening credits - I just watched it and said to the roombuddy, well, I guess he isn't really dead after all. Hmmm… Later, when I saw him, I wasn't so sure, but in this show definitions of dead are fluid.

I actually think she looks exactly like a child produced by Clair Danes and Damien Lewis. Idiots are going to make comments. But it's not something that can't be resisted by most people.

Will it do any good to plead that people stop making disparaging remarks about the baby. Not all babies look like the picture on a Gerber label - and that baby is somebody's actual baby. Who thinks she's beautiful.

Favorite observation: "Quinn wrote a letter to Carrie in case something happens. Sniffle." Plot device for next season - the Group is lost in Syria and Quinn is beheaded on TV. But Carrie gets to read the letter. To us. Meanwhile Dar arranges medical care for Haqqani in the U.S. Carrie takes him out before going…

I'm hopeless. I'm a wuss. I liked it. I hope that somewhere in the thin film of dark matter that is the back of my flatscreen they are all living happy, productive lives. Good night and good luck.

"…makes it feel at least twice as long as it is." Watching on the DVR last night, feeling the tension rise and hoping it was almost over, I checked the time - I was only 28 minutes in.

There will be no Gracepoint 2, for which I am grateful, but had to wonder what was the point of introducing his daughter and some other plot elements that seemed to be left hanging. Hope Tennant didn't have too many nightmares filming Broadchurch, thinking he was back in Gracepoint again.

You're kidding me. There's another Broadchurch? With Tennant? Who will then reprise in another Gracepoint? Sure not everybody I know watched Broadchurch, but then not everybody I know watched The Hour, either. Maybe that explains The Newsroom?

The only time I felt manipulated was when the group in the vault allowed Lockhart to open the door. There had to be more than a few people in there who knew for a fact that they would be killed anyway. But at least now we get to see Quinn go after the football.

I'm so afraid it's going to turn out to be something like that - all of the signs from tonight's show point in that direction - and "Joe" was the murderer in Broadchurch, too. So what if they wrinkle it up by involving Tom more directly. It's still the same damn thing. They promised us something different, and they…

Hawley is babysitting - and has been told not to have any friends over. I wonder if he ordered pizza? I'm still liking this show quite a bit, but frankly, after the Ichabod/new thing in modern world section, it's not as fun as it used to be. I don't understand for the life of me (unless they've been given a cease and…

I'd be a lot happier with this show if it was more Grimmish - that is, keep the over-arc vaguely menacing, with assorted history mysteries to solve, each one which might or might not tell us something a little more. I would love to have seen an entire episode based on something the Washington supposedly said, as the…
