It was never suggested Kevin went to where the departed were. He never saw departed people in the magical world he traveled too, only people who had died in the real world from non-departing related deaths.

Irina asked Philip to defect with him when they saw each other in Canada, but otherwise we heard nothing about what happened to her. Apparently, her dissatisfaction with her government continued. The Center would not want to tell Philip about that. It would complicate his emotions too much. They wouldn't know how he'd…

The choir song is Down in the River to Pray. It got a lot of notice when a version was in O Brother Where Art Thou, but it's an old school gospel song.

I think the Bodecker thing will be in a flashback later in the season. The previews after the episode show a building blowing up. Looks like it might be the Bodecker building that we see in ashes in this episode.

I think in the books Jon will just survive because you can, theoretically, survive getting stabbed a bunch of times without magic. Not sure what they'll do in the show.

Well, it's been heavily discussed that Jamie is being sent to Dorne this season as one of the biggest deviations from the books. The trailer indicates as much. So I'm skeptical that Jamie will ever end up where he was in DwD. But I agree that they need something for Brienne to do and pairing her with the Brotherhood…

I was definitely thinking that they could still have pulled the Mance Rayder switcheroo, but I ultimately think they just rewrote him to actually die. It would be a betrayal of the character to have him slinking around as the Red Woman's lackey. The show portrayed him as much more noble than he was portrayed in the…

Awesome GIF someone made mashing up Blade Runner and the mail robot. http://i.imgur.com/BPtA5Ao.gif

There's no fucking way Caputo could just fire Fischer like that, even if he supposedly wrote her up in the past or warned her about past activity. Federal prisons have an extremely powerful prison guard union, just like most prisons in the United States. It makes it very difficult to fire someone, with or without due…

My guess about Varys is that they decided to change up his plot line because he has so little to do in the books once Tyrion escapes, except for one big event at the end of Book Five. Although this hasn't happened in the books yet, I suspect Varys is supposed to eventually end up where Tyrion is any ways, so getting…

The Michael J. Fox movie is "Secret of My Success." Brook even makes some hippy dippy comment about how capitalists measure "success."

I think Larrick is hunting Jared because that's the only lead he has to find Elizabeth and Phil after they ditched the tracker. Larrick could have easily killed Jared before Elizabeth showed up as he was spying on Jared before she got there and somehow got close enough already to put a tracker in his bag. However,…

Erik, it's a surrealist show. Nothing in it exists in reality or carries from one episode to the next. Trying to impose some sort of "logic" to the show to explain the surrealism is pointless. It's not a dream. Louie is not an unreliable narrator. It's supposed to be an exaggerated, surreal world.

I am not suggesting he was an agent in training already, just that she was working on him like we've seen Elizabeth and Phil do with other marks. Becoming friends with him, slowly explaining things and trying to win him over, but not necessarily disclosing everything. That kind of thing.

No, they haven't shown anything else with that girl aside from maybe a quick shot of her at the church group.

My theory is that Kate was developing Jared as an agent prior to Emmett and Leanne's murder and behind their back. A young attractive woman would be useful for that. I am not sure what that means in terms of the murders or what Jared knows, but it would explain why he probably didn't rat out Elizabeth to Beeman (which…

My theory is Oleg is somehow involved in the Mossad agents getting the drop on Phil and Elizabeth. He pushed pretty hard to get the security clearance to know about the mission, seems almost like they were trying to lure Phil and Elizabeth out to catch them. Also, his speech to Nina about the cost of pretending to be…

Chang was a good character in Season One and Two, he was just one of the worst casualties of Harmon going a little off the rails in Season Three. I get the impression Sony was leaning on him to do certain things (like do another paintball episode in Season Two), and Season Three was right after Hangover II came out.…

I kind of hope that the Pied Piper turns out to be the new guard at Seward's prison just for how completely random that could be. Maybe it turns out he was lying about having a wife and kid and really shows up late because he was out hunting victims.

There are juvenile probation officers. Monitoring someone on probation, even if they are a juvenile, requires a sworn law enforcement officer who can effectuate searches and arrests if necessary. A juvenile could also be assigned a social worker and Bullet is the type who would likely be assigned a social worker as…
