Your joke has become meta.

We just watched this about a week ago (it had been in our queue for months). Very good, kickass work by the cast lead by a fantastic Stephen McHattie. Definitely “low fi”, only a couple of locations, but a really interesting spin on the genre.

Love Tarantula, it used to run pretty regularly on the Saturday afternoon scifi/horror matinee on TV - mostly ran films from the 50/60s - all classic giant spiders/ants/<assorted_bugs>, excellent scifi like Earth vs the Flying Saucers, TDTESS, Forbidden Planet, It Came From Outer Space, plus the occasional monster…

Hahaha, fantastic!

Did you notice he was also in a Lexus commercial shown during AHS?

Yeah, Gyp was the best “guest villain" of the series (he definitely deserved that Emmy). Just from a pure emotional investment with Chalky, I agree, it would’ve been sweet for him to have his revenge on Narcisse, but I like the way they wrote him out - self-sacrifice, chin up, let’s get this done. :)

I believe the penny was just so Bullock could connect the dots: the new murders couldn’t be just “copycats” because that detail of the previous murders was never released. So yeah, just a plot device :)

A pun that’s also a callback to a movie with another Avenger actor?

Loved (to hate) the character, Jeffrey Wright was so good. Hopefully we’ll see him in something else soon - I was just in a talkback for TWD, commenting on how good it is to see a bunch of the talent from The Wire working again (and together!)

HBO is running Man of Steel this month, and after watching Van Alden for the last month or so, it puts a whole new spin on General Zod :D

Sons of Anarchy is a train wreck, but we’re strapped in for the final season.

I wonder if it’ll get any love from the Emmy’s next year. I’d assume quite a few nominations at the very least, but I’d love to see a few wins (in the acting categories, if not production/direction).

Yeah, I suppose there might have been an answer from “Uncle" Nucky that wasn’t a wad of money that _might_ have caused Tommy to walk away. (We watched it really late, so I’m a little loopy…)

Hahaha, exactly. I could almost hear Morpheus …

A pretty terrific and fitting end for the series. Major loose ends tied up (finally, goodbye Narcisse :) I hope Chalky is waiting for you, glaring at you for all eternity…), a nice little vision of the future: Capone in prison, the unified mafia centralized in New York, Margaret doing well for herself, a slightly…

*crickets*

I said the same thing, it was _strange_. Why even include the gag? The only thing I can think of, is they wrote that intending for her to do it, but something fell through (scheduling, she was sick, etc.)

Totally - from the moment the fight with the underwater zombie ended he was acting all janky, then did the whole “last kiss goodbye” in the church, then went out like we was basically leaving the group and started bawling.

Overall good episode. Love The Wire representation - every actor on that show needs to be working (a couple were on Boardwalk, Michael K. Williams and Domenick Lombardozzi, and MKW was outstanding).

I thought maybe he had some of himself, and used a really spicy BBQ sauce.
