Season 2 feels a bit more B/B- to me so far. Brilliant lead performances, superb production, but also a growing sense of 'Is this actually going anywhere?', and 'Hmm, who's fooling who?'

There's something brutally honest about this show's portrayal of romantic love that really cuts through.

Anyone else clock the '13th floor elevators' reference on the CCTV!?

Exactly – he was terrified of Susan (and, to a lesser extent, the Witchita writers) all series and then suddenly he's in the place he wants to be and acts like that. Nope.

After the promise of the earlier episodes, I feel this show is just blowing it big time down the stretch. I didn't buy Gus's behaviour in the writer's room at all, for example.

Not really plot-relevant as such, agreed, but it was a lovely visual gag that recalled his scene with Mike where they chat shampoo.

Just grade each episode n/a already. Every one is a straight A.

Lou alone with Reagan in the bathroom reminded me a little of Christian Slater's character with Val Kilmer's Elvis in True Romance, i.e. a hint of magic realism about it, where Lou is saying stuff he just wouldn't in the 'normal' world. Either way, I bought it. Patrick Wilson is doing a great job.

Or, Molly gobbles a few pills thinking they are candy and there are no effects at all, so Betsy knows that she has the placebo.

No Tilda Swinton. Bloody 'ell.

Joaquin Phoenix was the best part of IV, surely – it's a wonderful performance. Brolin is also wonderful, agreed. And the Doc/Bigfoot double-act is killer.
