In hindsight, I think her amoral nature was foreshadowed perfectly when she told Miles she wouldn't be with him, then told him to sleep with her. She uses people as needed.

Shaw's Huntress, Root is the Riddler, Fusco is Bullock, I'd say that Greer is Ra's, with Control as Amanda Waller and Hersh as Rick Flagg.

Go Bear.

Isn't he the actual head of Special Counsel? That's the outside legal review body of the US govt. So it seems like Northern Lights is a combo of the military Joint Special Operations Command's ISA for domestic work and some foreign work (see: Shaw), plus the CIA's Special Activities Division (see: Reese, Stanton,…

Great catch.

Yeah, but the use of The Kills' "Future Starts Slow" at the end of Relevance is a great musical set piece. Not up there with Lonely Soul in Matsaya Narya, but good.

And also a homophone for The Important of Being Earnest about another false persona.

I really get the feeling that the suspense and build up (which, while slow, is damn good) is going to lead to some truly bat**** crazy shenanigans. Like, when everything goes pear shaped, it will be the most rewarding and nutso payoff ever.

Amen. This film is perfect. Is it top-quality drama? No. But it tells a story in a brutally and brilliantly efficient way, the action is glorious, the pacing taut, and everything works. It's like Mad Max: Fury Road in that respect.

For some reason I pictured Aaron Paul as Aaron in this scenario.

In general I'm against remakes when the originals are great, but they're still allegedly making an American remake of The Raid, right? And there's no director attached yet, right? Can I suggest Rogen and Goldberg, because holy **** the fights on this show are amazing.

I think Rogen, Goldberg, and Catlin basically said this season is an extended version of the first issue, setting up the mindset we meet Jesse in. But they're going to do elements from the first arc or so in this season before the road trip (as DeBlanc and Fiore show, along with you know who in the Old West). It seems…

And, if they are the characters from the comic they're apparently named as, they are not normal, to say the least.

Yeah, seeing him here, I really, really miss Lansky and Lucciano (and hell, crazy Benny). Boardwalk Empire was just so good. Even when Team L&L were the antagonists, I rooted for them.

So far, of all of the actors to play Lucifer on the show, nothing is more terrifying/charming than Dalton as Lucifer.

Carney's good when the show allows him to be malicious (and when he had that big moment in season 2, I loved it), or even just interact with the others. His scenes with Ethan in season 1 were a delight, and I loved his first flirting with Victor in season 2, and then his downright chilling, Joker-esc delivery of "Old…

When I saw Cox's casting announcement, something was nagging at me for a day. Then I realized the Hannibal-Papa Talbot connection and burst out laughing with mad glee in the middle of work.

They at least said that Mina was seduced by a "gentleman" who we now know as Dr. Sweet/Dracula. While she was engaged to Jonathan Harker.

We still don't know HOW Ethan became a werewolf. It was hinted at first that it had something to do with Kaetenay. Then this episode I thought it might have happened during the attack on Talbot hall. But now I'm at a loss for when that happened.

That's exactly it. This show is a giant showcase for the talents of Eva Green and Timothy Dalton, both of whom deserve more awards than they've been nominated for. But the biggest surprise, from day one, was how good Hartnett is in the show. Not as good as those two, but still great. This week the only slump seemed to…
