I have to say, threatening to kill off the show's Jewish character in a gas chamber takes…audacity if nothing else

What was with all the Tacoma bashing in this episode though? It's the 3rd largest city in Washington, not some podunk town. Now, Enumclaw….

Anyone have an idea why, for a show set in Svaldbard half of the cast is British? And why a British police officer is American?

I found it slightly amusing that Karen David (the only member of the main cast who actually has some Jewish descent, as far as I am aware) is labeled a "shiksa" (which really is kind of an off color word, just so all you goyim know).

I think this story might have been better had it focused on one of the three risen ghosts rather than trying to tell three separate stories in one episode. I personally liked the dynamics of the story with the mentally ill and guilt ridden model trying desperately to atone, although Philip the Ghostly Hitchhiker would

More people should say "Crikey O'Reilly!" in their daily lives

I thought it had been established that Phil liked scary and gory things as much as Claire did?

Maybe if they want to have a joke about a language barrier, next time they shouldn't pick a country whose official language is English (athough admittedly it's not really many Nigerians' first language)

Also, next time you think the source of your monster of the week should be "evil g**sy magic," stop, realize that's extremely offensive to Rromani people (and, as a lesser point, also makes no sense given the story we're given), and think again

"I'm a Queens girl…" yeah, a Queens girl from Toronto

Why I thought she might be in the opener is that viewers seem to be more forgiving of being reintroduced to stuff that'd fallen off the radar (in this case the Brotherhood) at the very beginning—season 4 had no mention of the Brotherhood, and I'm sure people who hadn't read the books would have gone "what?" I also

I'm with you with the 'G-damnit, where's Lady Stoneheart?" question. I will be royally pissed if she's adapted out (maybe first scene of next season?)

I'm calling it now: Thea is going to become a supervillain in Season 3

The Waif should indicate that we should also see the Kindly Man, who should be interesting

Wait. it's an actual thing, not made up for the show? Hunh

I think it speaks to the talents of Tatiana Maslany and Jordan Gavaris that Felix has chemistry with both Alison and Sarah, but the two relationships feel so fundamentally different

I will be utterly unsurprised if Kelly also turns out to be a KGB plant

No seriously, this shit is not fucking cool. And I'm calling y'all in the comments making stupid Jew jokes. The motherfucking SHOAH is not something you get to make jokes about. the MURDER of 11 FUCKING MILLION PEOPLE is not something you FUCKING MAKE JOKES ABOUT

THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!

OK, was anyone else annoyed by the stripping of the Judaism from the golem? No Emet written on the forehead, therefore no subsequent erasure of the aleph to kill it (perhaps they figured this was too complicated for the viewing audience?), no mention of Rabbi Judah Loew, the golem as an incarnation of vengeance rather
