Seriously. I'm not one of those who believes the edit has to show us EVERYTHING, but they really dropped the ball this week, between setting up that the vote would come down to Zeke and Tai, to illustrating why Michaela is so upset to lose Zeke. Sure, there was a brief mention about trusting Zeke because she played…

Minna alone bumps this up to a full A for me. Her relationship with Selina is hilarious, and her laugh absolutely slayed me.

I continue to mourn the loss of the opening title sequence, since it added a lot to the worldbuilding of the show by illustrating (through the various newspaper headlines and magazine covers) how Selina is viewed. It changed when she went from VP to President, and I was looking forward to seeing what the headlines…

I mean, it doesn't sound like you've ever particularly enjoyed this show, so I don't know how SilentSpy is necessarily wrong in noting that maybe this just isn't for you. Which is fine. Not every show is for every person. But you have to meet a show on the terms of what it is, and not what you wanted or expected it to…

In Season 2, I remember a scene with a TV in the background that aired a news segment noting how some dude in Australia came back from the dead after coming out of a cave near Perth. Maybe that ties into the beliefs of these women?

Somewhat off-topic, but I was mildly annoyed that the script didn't trust us to know that "cursed" rhymes with "Durst" without having Nora explain it.

I thought having it over the same images of last season's opening credits created even more discomfort

I'm wondering if the radiation thing somehow has to do with the flashforward, like Nora getting zapped to the plane of existence that everyone departed to.

On the one hand, he's a dick in the way he went about things, but he's not exactly wrong for chiding his deputy for trying to bail early just to get back home to his dog. A police officer abandoning his post because "Well, nothing's gonna happen tonight anyway" is kind of a terrifying thought.

And if it were a flashforward, and they had read the book, there are certain things they would have known that would have disqualified this dude from being the real Kevin, such as Kevin's immortality being tied to his presence in Jarden, which was one of the operating theories of Matt's case.

Four series regulars, and poor Mark Linn-Baker was the only one who didn't depart.

While the episode itself did a good job of hammering the point home, the "Previously On" clip where she finds Lily essentially served as a reminder that Carrie Coon's smile should be a religion unto itself.

I choose to believe the music in that scene was diegetic.

I can't think of many shows in recent history that have made me laugh as hard as I did when the music for the opening title sequence cued up.

Good point. Those strange votes really were just so weird. I can only imagine how much more chaotic this tribal would have been had Cirie not voted Sierra and Zeke (?) not voted Aubry.

Oh, and from a physicality standpoint, Andrea dropping from that height during the immunity challenge just because she didn't want to scrape her skin while sliding down the pole had to be the stupidest, most unnecessary thing I've ever seen someone do on this show. She could have been seriously hurt.

He really needed to go into it with a Jeremy-in-Cambodia mindset: "Any complaining or expressions of uncertainty/nervousness, I'm going to say to the camera, and not to my fellow castaways."

On Debbie, I also have to give her credit for executing that vote. With that said, I find it hilarious that, once again, the extra vote/vote steal didn't affect the outcome. Sure, the person against whom the extra vote was cast went home, but the extra vote itself ended up not being necessary, since Ozzy still would…

With that said, it is kind of impressive that, across four seasons, this is Ozzy's lowest placement. He's like the anti-Varner. Other than Cook Islands, he makes juries left and right.

Andrea is the type of person who fancies herself as a cerebral player, when really, she's one of the most emotionally-driven people out there.
