Sure! Is there a way to direct-message you via Disqus (I'm relatively new to it)?

I agree with you. For all of the initial "effort" that Brett was putting into the outing, I thought his beer-soaked confession of not being able to have fun and no liking the day was really cruel towards Michelle.

I think it's just original score to the show. I loved it so much, though, that I recorded it on my phone and then turned it into an alarm ringtone. Wakes me up every morning!

The whole time the guy was taking the polygraph, I pictured him (not literally) clenching his anus in order to beat the test.

It's not your imagination. Laurie Holden has clearly got fillers in her face and some Botox (zero forehead wrinkles, unmoving upper lip).

^^This made me— what are the kids calling it these days? "LLolz", I believe it is….

Yep, same. Also the same one involving Boyle going different Full Boyle, with the bodycam.

When Gina admitted to being pregnant and they caught her in a lie about going to lunch, I honestly thought (read: hoped) that the writers would try a more daring angle, and have Gina be pregnant as a surrogate for a friend or a (non-Boyle) cousin or something.

YES! THANK YOU!

The "Cowabunga Mother" line makes me realize that I'd love to see Captain Holt and Buster Bluth interact with each other in an alternate TV universe.

I'm saying that it's great writing because I couldn't have predicted Elizabeth and Philip's reaction to Natalie's tearful confession, had it not been for the fact that I realized there were only a couple of mins left in the ep, and violence had had yet to appear.

For its most loyal fans, this series brings out a strange blend of emotion over time.

Henry Jennings and Mail Robot are like an inversion of Superman/Clark Kent. They're both missing at the same times in episodes, but then appear in the same room together.

Wanna know an indication of great writing for a show? When the TV content coding (TV-MA for Language/Violence) is a freaking spoiler.

BINGPOT!

I have not read the book, so please no spoilers, but as I watched the scene with Emily driving the car, I thought of her previous punishment being related to her "crime" and thought with horror: There go your arms.

Anytime Elizabeth says something to Paige, I feel like Holly Taylor's expression clearly reads as "Are you manipulating me right now?" and is second-guessing things every step of the way. Really fine work on her part.

I had a really hard time sleeping afterwards.

Well, considering Pence refuses to be in the company of another woman without his wife present, that just makes the handmaiden rape scenes all the more plausible…
