Does anyone have any ideas as to the meaning of the flies? Aside from Dolores killing one at the end, they seem to be noticeably flocking to the robots/Hosts.

Apparently the oldest one. He was in a not-great crime comedy with Simon Pegg called Kill Me Three Times. Glad to see he's got slightly better material here.

Michael Wincott is one of those great character actors (The Crow, Count of Monte Cristo, etc) who is freaking terrifying. His physicality here was amazing.

Jesus/Xerxes is a bandit!

Watching this episode, I realized that Marsden looks near identical to Henry Cavill, and sounds like him when he does his American accent. It's weird.

Far too green to be Monument Valley, although the rock formations seem that way.

Ed Harris of Snowpiercer is shrugging, sipping his wine, and muttering "Nice."

Ed Harris is the only man badass enough to fill Yul Brynner's shoes.

That was Michael Wincott (of The Crow fame), not animatronic, but I was very surprised at how good he was with his physicality.

That was Wincott.

Hopkins and Wright together are an absolute treat. But we also got Hopkins and Michael Wincott, someone who I didn't know was in the show, but that was one of the highlights of the episode.

Penny Dreadful was absolutely perfect (until a final episode that clearly felt like it was rushed after a cancellation order). I'm so annoyed the cast never got Emmy nominations for it.

That is a great theory. I've pegged him simply as Ford's ideological foil on the artificial life (to use a Jonathan Nolan/Person of Interest analogy, the Gunslinger is the Finch to Ford's Greer). But if he actually has ties to the origins of the game…

I suspect the Gunslinger is a human supremacist. He seems fascinated and disgusted with the artificial life in front him. He's basically the foil to Hopkins' Ford.

I'm sure we'll find the origin story later on, but I like Harris's Man in Black as a foil to Ford. Compare Ford's scene with Old Bill (Michael Wincott, yay!) with the Man in Black's first scene with Dolores. One revels in sentience, the other all but sneers at the fakeness of it.

Important: This show has Michael Wincott, and it has Michael Wincott opposite Anthony Hopkins. That was a beautiful scene.

You're the Worst has been hilarious and played many things for comedy, but I can't help but notice the show's undercurrent of showing various ways people are broken. Edgar's PTSD, shown brilliantly here, and of course Gretchen's depression, but other ways. Both Gretchen and Jimmy were emotionally abused and alienated…

I love "There Is Currently Not a Problem" and "LCD Soundsystem," but I don't think they're the show's best. The first felt slightly meandering until the revelation, and the latter was more of an outlier. "Other Things You Could Be Doing" probably wins out for me, in terms of being solid from beginning to end and…

And the HYDRA-SHIELD debacle, and Civil War. The MCU 2016 election has to be an utter disaster.

Let it never be said that Lindsey is the truly messed up sibling.
