People have this strange habit of knowing when they're the rebound for someone else. Something that usually comes with experience.

The problem for the series is that there's too much influence being drawn from Delano and not enough from Ennis. Garth Ennis' run on Hellblazer is my favourite of the bunch. Quality writing. Quality storytelling. Delano on the other hand was long winded and prone to bouts of political posturing.

In tonight's comments:

Are the ratings poor, or are they poor for a Friday night? There's a big difference.

A D+ for a perfectly competent, fun way to spend an hour?

I appreciate that Bernadette owns being an asshole. She knows what she's doing. She's manipulative, callous, and gives absolutely no fucks who she hurts or how she gets what she wants. I can appreciate that, and I appreciate the show refusing to sugarcoat that she is a horrible person.

So did last week not happen? Beecher went from a concerned father to… whatever the hell was on the show this week. All with no build up and no motivation. And with some throwaway comment about a shady past by Lizard Lady to to compensate for this sudden heel turn. Dear Ryan Murphy; if you're not going to give two…

What sold it for me was the lingering shot on Chuckie, trying to figure out if that was insulting or not.

I have no idea who that is so I can't make an argument one way or the other.

So Jax dies in the finale, willingly sacrificing himself so that the club can continue. Either Marks gets him, or he gets the Mayhem vote. The club promotes Chibs to president, they learn nothing, and probably fall back into guns and drugs and whatever else skeezy bikers do (which is probably hang out at low rent pool…

I don't know, I thought Kathy Bates was the best (well, only good) part of Coven. From the infamous "Liieeessssssssssss" hiss to the severed head in a box gag. I thoroughly enjoyed her scenes. Especially when she and Angela Bassett were having a Sass-Off.

Ah, thanks.

I have a random question, so allow me to throw up the Who Signal:

You're not wrong, but for me it was the jokes that made it. I laughed a lot during the B plot, which is not something that usually happens in comedies. At least for me.

The A plot wasn't spectacular, but I thought any faults in it were handled deftly by Holt and Tiny Terry.

…. yeah. He's an idiot.

Probably because it was only until season seven (it is season seven, right?) to realize that Chibbs was always underdeveloped and never had a real story arc the same way the others did. When a character is that poorly drawn (which was fine in his case, he started out as little more than an extra), I imagine it's hard…

Christ, watching Juice ragdoll during the butt fucking was the most depressing thing I think I've ever seen on this show. That was some horrific shit to watch.

I'm always happy when quality actors keep getting steady work, such as with The Affair.

I was rather happy when Missy started laying into the meaningless supporting cast tonight. Most villains on Doctor Who are rather toothless, and in comes a coked out unholy union of Mary Poppins and Robert Smith like a bat out of hell just wasting fools left and right. Some of her dialogue would've been cringe worthy,…
