I forgot Adam could be so gormlessly charming and endearing. But this was a lot like Hannah's version of "The Panic In Central Park", in the sense that there was no way it was ever going to last.

Same. But I kind of feel like that's where they're headed.

Perpetually Pantsless Elijah is the friend we all need.

I would argue it was her finest scene in the series, from an acting standpoint. Just remarkable subtlety and emotion. Her expression communicated everything you needed to know about what was happening in that moment, without any dialogue to clarify.

I never would have called Aidy Bryant sinking that particular 'ship.

SHOSHANNA SHAPIRO SHIGHTING SIGHTING!

My issue with Tandy is that he's grating to a point that no longer feels recognizably human anymore. He's attaining almost superhuman levels of unpleasantness. I've known some annoying people in my life, but I think I would have moved to a completely different building in that complex just to get away from Tandy,…

Tandy being insufferable only works if everyone else is actually funny. But that wasn't really in evidence this week or last.

Yeah, the past two episodes have been a bit of a struggle, mostly because Tandy is getting back to Season 1 levels of unbearable obnoxiousness. On the one hand, I get that it's sort of the point for Tandy to be annoying. But there's a fine line to where a character can be annoying in a way that serves the comedy, or…

Neither did I. I saw someone else mention it on another site. I knew the intro sequence had to have major clues, but I couldn't see what they were.

With regards to Ed, a book reader told me not only is Ed not creepy in the book, Madeline never cheats on him. If anything, theirs is the only solid marriage. The affair with the theater guy was invented whole cloth for the show.

"Why didn't we discuss this?"

I figured it was the detective because I was watching with the subtitles on, and every time the detective was onscreen, it indicated the sound of the zippo lighter she was messing with. At the end, it indicated the sound of a zippo lighter again.

Part of me feels like Celeste lied to protect the twins from the truth. Sure, it sucks for them to learn their father was a serial abuser, but it makes it that much worse for them to learn he was taken from them by a person rather than by a freak accident.

It was also interesting to have it confirmed by a book reader, after this finale, that Jane running into her rapist wasn't a coincidence, and that she moved to Monterrey with the sole intention of finding him.

Interestingly, the opening also has all of the named children dancing in front of the camera except for Max. Neat clue in retrospect.

Kidman's the frontrunner, but it really speaks volumes about the quality of this show that I want all three women nominated, as unlikely as that is.

That's what interested me about it. When Jane suggested she's worried about Ziggy because violence might be in his DNA, you see Celeste tense up because she knows the same could be true of her boys. But it takes on a whole new meaning when you learn later that Ziggy and Max have the same father. It makes for a really…

Same. A lesser actress might have dropped the ball on that wordless expression of terror, but Shailene Woodley absolutely nailed it, to where it made sense that everything escalated as quickly as it did.

I loved the character because it was evidence of good guys existing in this world. Which isn't to say he wouldn't have been characterized with shades of grey, had he been a larger character in the story, but it was nice to see a male figure that didn't exercise his power/bitterness/insecurity against a woman.
