I think I'm going out on a limb here, but did anyone get a weird vibe when Nick asked Jess about what had happened the previous night?

Tim: You're gonna drag him out of a restaurant by his nutsack…
Raylan: I’m not gonna grab his nutsack or any other part of him.

I heartily concur with "Jack's Tulips" as a wonderful place to start. 10 years later it's still my favorite, to be honest.

This episode almost had my head spinning with all of the strategizing and counter-schemes going on. One thing that did confuse me - What exactly did the Limehouse staffer do to try to frame Quarles? Send in the hookers, whom Quarles's guys then followed? Tip off two of Quarles's guys? I guess I'm a little confused…

Absolutely - it really felt they were planting a seed for something down the line. It also seems that without his wife, he's unravelling.

@ bcfred: Ha!

IMDB and Apple Trailers have proved me wrong - it looks like a number of the former cast are back…

Sorry - that was more exclamatory/rhetorical rather than an honest question. I, for one, am looking forward to this rumored full-length feature you speak of, in hope that these questions that plague me are somehow answered.

Rumor had it he rewrote most of Hulk, for one.

I thought maybe they spliced in shots from Supremacy or Ultimatum, for context or atmosphere or something. I think they often do that sort of thing with sequels - a little like Dark Knight Rises's first teaser was composed of shots from the first two films.

What the hell happened to his face in those opening shots?

I'm still making myself laugh remembering, "Have you seen my *good* peacoat?"

Re: Mo Rocca, I think you're just looking in - to use your phrase, because I don't know if I agree with you  - the "right" places. Sometimes when I turn on the TV on a Sunday morning and the Tivo has selected CBS for me, he's filing reports for their Sunday morning show. I think for a little while now he's had a…

Does anyone else get the feeling that if you skipped the entire second season, but tuned in only for its last episode, you'd still know exactly what was going on?

While I am a ridiculously huge TMF fan, there is a secret part of me that agrees with you; sometimes I worry that the lyrics and songs themselves since 69LS are being weighted too heavily toward cleverness and archness, if not outright novelty. I miss the almost abstract heartbreak of stuff like Railroad Boy or 100K…

I'd argue it bears repeating. As often as possible.

Annoying nitpicky note: "Tinker, Tailor" was published in 1974; the miniseries was 1979.

"Sure, it may seem like it's mostly canned soup and jarred non-perishable items, but in truth it's a world where your powered can grow unfettered! Also, like six types of pickles."

Damn - I had a feeling last night that it was Driver 8. I thank you for your charity and look forward to both Bangkok and the Bordheim treatment.
