AV Club is inaccurately treating these things like one-hour episodes and using only one episode title per week. Each half-hour is its own episode with its own episode title. The first half hour this week was episode 7, "The Case Gets Bigger." The AV Club reviewer has put stuff that happened in that episode into this

The dog didn't die. They specifically mentioned that in the episode, but I imagine you had quit watching before that.

TV writers have the cash for more expensive hallucinogens.

Wow, it is quite difficult to write something that length and have every single statement be astoundingly wrong. Kudos on the accomplishment.

This season it is his real hair. Last season he used hair extensions.

Are you kidding? You think they are striving for realistic dialogue and failing to achieve it? It's one thing to not like this kind of show, and another to just not understand that it's as intentionally surreal as anything David Lynch has ever done.

Nope, it is simply excellent.

@A.V.CLUB — Penny Dreadful ran for three seasons on Showtime, not two.

Except the show they cancelled a little over a month ago, so not quite "never."

It is "He Gone." AV Club screwed up.

What a ridiculous comment. Moore hasn't even written anything since the season premiere. The principal writer of the season finale was Toni Graphia, a woman, obviously. And that is leaving aside the whole issue of why any writer on the show is supposed to turn a character in the book who is irritating and unlikable

Your second line — "I guess since the writers made it up" — made it sound like you were being serious.

You are taking seriously the comment from the character who has more than once demanded that Supergirl give her her cell phone number, and has never gotten it? Cat Grant would like to be very important to Supergirl, and it is a nice irony that she is, but in a different way than she is aware of.

And what, to you, counts as "messy?" The narrative was quite tight and well-structured, rather than "sprawling" and "meandering" — which I say notwithstanding that sprawling and meandering can be absolutely positive attributes in the right hands (Penny Dreadful is an excellent example). In Billions, what might have

This website has been underestimating Billions the entire season. The reviewer even has to backhandedly acknowledge that by admitting that, no, this outstanding season finale really didn't come out of nowhere.

Ah, you jest, but there really is a British version of this phenomenon, but it doesn't involve ABC. Countless times in the British media and on British message boards I have seen HBO credited with making Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and other US cable series that HBO had nothing to do with. It seems to be a widespread

In America, all British TV — ALL of it — is BBC. Nobody in America wants to hear about the UK (I'm sorry, England, which isn't the same thing, but don't try telling Americans that) having any other channels, let alone have to bother to learn what they are. Keep it simple, bub, even if it means keeping it wrong.

You're so welcome, because I love to hear that a joke based on a very well-known cult TV reference (Firefly) went way over someone's head.

I don't know about "cute." Kara licking the ice cream cone was the sexiest thing I've ever seen. Hope everyone else enjoyed the rest of the episode. Me, I went straight to my bunk.

"Why would anyone choose Seinfeld over Martin?" You just said that. Out loud. (Well, no, not out loud. But I think I've made my point.)
