This is one of those things that you have to apply that tv suspension of disbelief to, like kids just out of college and working as baristas in NYC living in lofts that probably only tech billionaires could conceivably afford. Can you imagine being the person in the office left to cover to Carrie all the time? "Hi, no…

There'd be more commentary here if the review appeared on the same night the show aired.

Well, then I guess *I* am the one with the shitty memory.

Isn't this rather late for the current episode's review not to be posted?

Vraiment. Noah is such a cliché, I'm surprised the bookstore he visited wasn't Shakespeare & Co., practically a pilgrimage site for English-speaking writers.

My grandmother always used "farbisseneh" to mean something more like "sourpuss" or "cranky" — I never really through of it as a shit-eating sort of expression.

I loved all the Paris scenes too, and amused myself by trying to recognize what arrondisement and street they used for each scene. Weird that in Juliette's perspective they were along the Canal St. Martin in what appeared to be fall, while in Noah's they were in St. Germain des Pres at full-on snowy Christmas time.…

More to the point, Rosalee is a Fuchsbau — a kind of fox — and foxes bear litters (of 'kits').

And to bring this back around to The Fugitive, Andreas Katsulas was in Executive Decision as a bad guy, too!

I always see him as Longinus, the centurion, from Roar.

Fair point.

Oh right, thanks. I do remember her questioning, and him just staring and not replying.

Did the end of Helen's POV even *have* a choking scene? I honestly cannot remember!

Except Professor Sex French. She's at least his contemporary, and could even be older than him (Irène Jacob is three years older than Dominic West).

They're even ruining Nina. Her turning on Helen for Helen's youthful blindness to Noah's emotional turmoil / dark side was just bizarre. First of all, a large percentage of people would never find love if there weren't other people out there willing to overlook bits of their personality and psyche. And, they were in…

Ugh, but where can they go from here? Is Luisa going to fall under Noah's inexplicable magic spell next? Or maybe they'll do a time jump, and *Joanie* will be the one throwing her life and her dignity away for that gigantic tool and his fairy-dust-sprinkled wiener. Just: ugh.

Oh, and here's the current season's opening titles — it has more fire than any other season's!

I think that song must be a love/hate thing. I hate it. Now, the theme song to "Vikings"? Stirring, dark, fantastic!

I'm with you. I so tired of shows that feature these driven mama bears going up against everyone to get their children back. I call it the "Claire: MY BYE-BEEEE!" syndrome. Frankly, much more interesting to me would have been what led up to that: Alison progressively losing it as Joanie got closer to Gabriel's age,…
