Near the end of Episode 1, Box questions Trevor (J. W. Williams' character) about why he was walking "on West 87th Street, a block from the park."

BZZT, wrong.

I guess you didn't see Making a Murderer. You should watch it. That show, along with the Serial podcast, invented the crime genre.

Best boobs of the season. A+.

I always rolled my eyes when people complained about George Lucas destroying their childhood with Episodes 1-3. I mean, c'mon… get a life!

The were-monster is good for a chuckle. But episodes 1 and 6 are about exposing the truth. A truth, it seems, that some people aren't prepared for.

I think, years from now, episodes 1 and 6 will be viewed as top-tier X-Files episodes of the highest caliber. They're too fresh right now, and they're hitting too close to home for a lot of folks.

Nice 90s reference.

Is anybody else seeing this?

Yes, CC is key.

Your comment gets a C+.

I suspect most people are lost. The plot is pretty convoluted and perhaps not that well presented. But last night's episode was actually very good compared to the rest of the season if you've been following along. The B- community rating makes me think a lot of people have given up.

I also binge-watched The Killing over the course of a few days, and really, really enjoyed it. I was surprised to find everyone here aboard a bandwagon of hate. I suspect it fares much better on demand than meted out over the course of three years.

Nailed it.

Which makes "weird" an appropriate choice. She wanted to say it, but she wasn't ready to actually say it.

Yes! He's been operating on a single note: miserable and power-hungry. But if he had any extra dimension to his personality, it would go so far. It could be that he shows some compassion for something, or some enjoyment, or a sense of humor, or becomes unhinged, or anything.

Agreed. For me, this episode brought the plot into sharper focus and subtly raised the stakes for each character. The dialogue had some weak lines, as usual, but overall it felt tighter and more purposeful.

Carol is being contrasted against Phil's hallucinatory fantasy woman and January Jones. Not to mention a manikin that, let's face it, is totally hot. So whether or not she's "meant to be ugly," she's cast as relatively less physically attractive than the women Phil fantasizes about. Which isn't a knock against…

"Gilfoyle objecting on moral grounds ("I don't pay for it") is not the nerd stereotype at all."
