Tell me about it. I really need a boyfriend, or at least an activity partner. I'm way too emotionally invested in imaginary people.

He really is the breakout character, isn't he? I have no idea how writing for a TV show works, how much time do they have to re-visit plot arcs? Like, if they originally wrote him to be a throwaway character to show how devoid of ethics and morals Connor is, and then discovered how intensely the audience liked him,…

Womp womp, his loss!

Yeah I'm kind of on the fence about how to interpret Connor's feelings towards Ollie. I'm probably looking at it through a lens of my own failed relationships where I was the one who cared more, so I may be overly-sympathizing with Oliver. Connor definitely has the bug, although whether its an artifact of having been…

Maybe they'll have lots of hot-new-boyfriend sex. I can get behind that.

Oh my god. I'm old.

Definitely more Oliver. He's one of the only things I remember from last nights episode. I feel bad for him, those lopsided relationships are so awful, when he is so besotted with Connor and Connor's like "yeah you're not bad" and uses him as his security blanket.

1) They DID burn the body. They covered it in lighter fluid and set it on fire, then they hacked it to pieces. "Human remains" can mean anything from an entire corpse to a tiny fragment of bone.

Oh, roger that.

Will one episode feature a battle over milkshakes, and which one brings all the boys to the yard?

No there weren't, but there were some uppity women and some land-management, property rights, and town governance and control issues at play. Getting rid of bothersome neighbors by trumping up charges of "witchcraft" in a paranoid population is a good way to get what you want.

I read that there's been a shakeup after TV execs watched this show just plunge into the ground at full speed after a crackerjack S1, and that they're trying to get back to he S1 energy that Goffman threw out the window so he could Mary Sue himself into the story (Hawley) and show Katrina in her underwear for every…

Oh I think the last two episodes are back on track, like orders of magnitude better than S2 (with the exception of the premiere which was outstanding). I think the studio stepped in after the ratings nosedive and did some digging into wha happened, looked at critical commentary and online chatter, and made some…

Oh, I didn't realize that there was an entirely new showrunner this season — that explains EVERYTHING. Apparently a bunch of writers left also, maybe causal? Three of the black (or otherwise non-white) writers left, I heard also, which is a very interesting data point especially given he prominence that White Dudebro…

This is one main-character 'ship I can get behind, unlike Maddie and David and Mulder and Scully, which killed the mojo of the show in the first case and I just never saw in the second. The two actors are absolutely electric together and if I didn't know otherwise, I'd say at least one of them has a massive crush on…

Asher is the most believable of all of them, although part of that is that Matt McGorry just seems like a really likable guy so maybe he brings that with him. He's obviously smart, but undercuts it by being a ridiculous dudebro doofus, then undercuts *that* by actually having a heart and feelings that get hurt when…

Well right up until Connor got his swerve on with Pax (PAX?!?) Oliver picked up everything that Connor put down. I'm glad he's showing some fortitude, I want to see Connor have to earn it for once.

I think Bonnie killed Lyla. I think Bonnie is pregnant by Sam and killed Lyla out of jealousy. I also think she shagged Rando Bar Guy and Asher to give herself plausible deniability for paternity.

Oliver wasn't dating an underwear model. The guy he *was* dating — Black Spatula Guy — broke up with him to go back to dating *his* ex, the underwear model.

Reasonably sure the actual Founding Fathers weren't that hot, but whatever I guess. Fuck history or storyteling for its own sake, I mean Tom Mison has set the looks standard for Colonial men, all others better step up their game!
