Interesting, because I got the complete opposite read off that line.

Words cannot describe how disappointed I was to learn that Working The Engels was not about the difficulties of living a modern-day socialist lifestyle in a suburban post-neoliberal world of alienation.

Oh my god, that's brilliant. Like in Catch Me If You Can: "You have no one else to call!"

For some reason I just can't see Dutch putting himself in a role that takes him off the street. If he's busy delegating, fighting with Phillips about budget issues, calling judges at home to get warrants expedited, and handling (the RHD equivalent of) Billings's latest mess, instead of solving cases and slapping the…

Here's a thought: Do you think Drew Crowley ever finds out that Vic coldly confessed to shooting his brother beneath the eye? (And that Vic's a free man with an ICE pension?)

Dutch is a detective's detective with no discernable managerial skill. If he has ambition, it runs along the lines of Robbery-Homicide, (like you said) the FBI, or more likely, to paraphrase Lester Freamon, just the opportunity to bring in a case so sweet everybody says "Damn, he was right all along! Should've…

Until I started reading these comments, it never really occurred to me to pay attention to stuff like the sight lines, but now that I'm looking for it, it really is remarkable how much they did with that big, open set. The only shot I'd really noticed was the one in season 2 where the Los Mag (Lil' Pop, I think)…

I wonder how Rawling felt when she saw the news of how it all ended up — for Lem, for Shane, for Vic and Ronnie, and especially for Aceveda. Guilty for setting IAD into motion, or guilty for not listening to Aceveda to begin with? Plus resentful as hell of dirty cop and Antwon-deal-making Aceveda becoming mayor. But…

Season 4 is, if not the objectively best season, my favourite one to watch, and you've nailed the reason why. Vic's always had some kind of departmental antagonist since day one; Gilroy's mostly off-screen protection stopped with the events of "Blowback", and though his dance with Aceveda had its twists and turns,…

"The chase for Bonilla takes us through chases, clues, codes (not good codes)"

MEGA SPOILERS

I found the music in the cold open to be really jarring, and it cast a pall over the first few minutes of the episode for me. But that's my only complaint. How can Rectify so consistently make rather mundane interactions so tense and fraught with portent?

"Matriculated" was the line of the night for me.

Well, the comment count on these reviews has been going up from week to week, it seems.

We learned last season that Daniel didn't go to an isolation cell right away, that he interacted with other inmates earlier in his sentence — that's how he got raped.

Also, she talks to other Mexican characters in English unless she's ordering an ear cut off. Which is sad, because this has been one of the only shows on television to consistently avoid that trope.

Because I care, I invested the time to review her nude scene from "Troy". Give or take ten years, it does indeed appear to be the same lovely butt. If we get more butt shots, however, I may have to repeat my analysis.

No worries. I'm just honoured to appear in a wallflower review! ;)

I think that was my post about Army and the S2 callback last week, not Alonso's. :)
