Absolutely agree. Erik has it backwards: Part 1 last week was an interminably boring slog, Part 2 on the other hand was the best episode this season! Twisty and Else's origin stories alone were worth the price of admission, but there was so much delicious creepiness throughout the entire hour. The German bordello…

Seriously, we know what we signed on for at this point. They are dropping anvils on our collective heads with the comic book references. We get it.
I agree, I don't know how many of the shows this year are in the can but hopefully the producers will take all the feedback in mind and wrench a much better show out of all these correct ingredients they have to work with (except Barbara. barbara needs to GTFO)
Deadwood and Rome as well, all these excellent HBO shows cancelled before their time. But Arli$$ gets like 15 seasons
When he gives Lol the box he made for her in the prison woodshop and she rejects him, ooo the anguish he unleashes once he's alone in the car again, so palpable
This Is England, he owns the entire movie
Van Alden went anything but.
I really would have like to have known if they hit Torrio or not. He flirted with retirement as much as Nucky but chose to keep his foot in the door. I would have liked some closure as to whether his being a useful idiot for Luciano got him a bullet in the head at the end rather than just a unsatisfying cold shoulder
He took care of his little brother as he had since he was young. But any mark of him in the world he tried to infiltrate every since he left that farm simply ceased to exist. Just like the television genie girl, he was there and yet he wasn't there.
Yep silly us, he reminded me of Michael Pitt in his every scene with Nucky and I still didn't put it together, simply thought it was a redemptive arc for Nucky and so the parallels were to be expected.
I didn't read the comments here to avoid any speculation or spoilers this season and I had no idea who it was. The showrunners did an excellent job of omitting all reference to Tommy this season, save for maybe a line or two from Gillian in the season premiere (though I don't remember it)
We are the forsaken, people just never took a shine to this show for whatever reason. They are dumb and will die wondering. I loved every last minute of it.
Well played, Boardwalk Empire. They reaally wanted us to forget about Tommy Darmody this season didn't they? And I will admit, I actually had. Even though each scene with him this year pointed towards Nucky's former relationship with Jimmy and even some redemption thereof, I never put it together. And I was happily…
Just plain odd coming from a Bowie fan, but oh well.
Seriously though, SNL just needs to stop doing political sketches. They're not good at it anymore. I don't know how they lost their mojo but they are simply going through the motions now without the slightest semblance of bite or resonance to speak of.
Oh that Sia, such a flavor-of-the-week with her sparse 15-year career, collaborations with Christina Aguilera, Eminem, Madonna, Beyonce and Katy Perry, her numerous song-writing awards and slew of television and movie soundtrack appearances. Anyway, NEXT!!
Which movie was Jim Carrey presumed to have ripped off from skateboard-cousin Carrey anyways? I got all the other references at his family reunion but that one. To me it was a wasted opportunity for SNL's wardrobe dept to do an epic Earth Girls are Easy costume instead.
Probably because it was written by earworm connoisseur Danny Elfman. Well, at least the melody was.. ripped straight from This is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Ya think? They repeat it so much I couldn't even get through the whole video. Good costumes and set design laid to waste by quasi-Elfman repetition
