Having gone to the trouble of setting Quinn up, it seems unlikely Dar would turn around and have Black Hat Guy kill him, but we still don't know who gave that order or how it came to be given. However, I disagree regarding the season as a whole. It's amazingly ballsy for a show to set up rogue elements in the CIA and…

I don't think you can equate King's behavior to rape. It's prison and sex is used as currency. King is demanding payback. Here's an example where a prisoner with power is demanding sex from a CO in exchange for something. It's "funny" only in that most prisoners don't have the power she does. I don't think it was…

Martha knows enough to ID Philip and she's seen his partner (even in a wig) and Gabriel too. So it would be dangerous to send her back. Plus she is very valuable! She knows a lot of details about how things work in the FBI, and would be invaluable in training spies.

Unless there's a reason for her to be a single friend.

Agree. If you think about "real life" situations where a biological parent decides to take back a child after the adoptive parents have become attached, there's a tendency to have more sympathy for the adoptive parents suffering a loss than for the biological parent who changed his/her mind.

Yeah, but if a guy who exposed himself and tortured an animal is the last person to see a woman alive, and if he disguised his phone calls to her, and if she told people she was creeped out by him, and if HER BODY WAS FOUND ON HIS PROPERTY then that would pretty much make him a likely suspect (which doesn't mean that…

Cruelty to animals on that level is a big indicator of a sociopathic personality, and sadism, so it is pretty significant, and leaving it out of the television show is significant as well.

What it comes down to is that King's feelings are understandable. It was his work and vision and Kubrick's adaptation subverted it in too many ways. King doesn't need to accept that it's a great film, and never will. His opinion of the movie is no more or less valid than anyone else's. I read the book AFTER I saw the…

I dismissed it's being Simon because it wouldn't be the gay, Jewish guy. But what if Simon is neither? What if he isn't even Simon?

Well they could still easily resolve this by having it turn out next season she was switched at birth.

I think just giving Jacqueline a lower class background would be too Jenna, so they had to take it a step further, but agree that it left me feeling a little ick. Glad to see it addressed here.

Taking the issue seriously… The reason why the Jewish holidays became days off was because at one point there were so many Jewish teachers that it would have been too chaotic to keep the schools open on Rosh Hashanna and Yom Kippur. That's probably not true anymore, but there it is in the union contract and it's not…

I agree with a lot said here. This is a character driven story not a heart pumping action thriller. They've also done montages to death. I'm tired of the weekly montage sequence. The figurine scene was also a direct shout out to the "Open House" season 1 episode in which Marie steals a Hommel figurine. Maybe even from…

Oh my god! That would actually make sense. And then I'd throw in that she has cancer and would die before she could be prosecuted!

I don't generally eat at fast food chain restaurants. There are "comparable" chains that do have healthier food — at least in the US where I live, and while it's subjective, I'd certainly argue that there are chains that have "better" food. In fact, that's one reason why McDonald's stock has gone down. — competition.…

I'll pay with cash thanks, but I won't be in McDonald's until they pay their employees a living age and offer actual healthy alternatives on the menu.

At this point, she's not a real character. She exists only to goad, to stack the deck in Robert's favor. She's there to make him look reasonable.

Agree, the flash on Aayan's murder seemed "emotionally" forced. She had set Aayan up to die. However, there needed to be a visual to show something happening in her thought process. She didn't actually see Fara get shot so that's not what would have flashed through her mind. Also, we hate others when they are most…

Regina is Puerto Rican with Spanish ancestry. Obviously, her ancestors were conversos, and the family remained crypto-Jews.
