The caveat is that these are the episodes they REALLY liked. That whole Enlightened thing, though the show was actually pretty great, was just critics being critics.

Agreed on both counts. The amount of things so expertly designed into that one episode is astounding: it's a practical capsule for the entire series. The great flashback shot, Hank's death, the stolen money, Walt's confession about Jane, the knife fight, kidnapping Holly, Walt's phone call and the final moment before

Having watched the season twice, the ending is actually quite good. It was nice to see a story that ended quietly and thoughtfully. It was a moment of optimism for a show that spent so much time in the gutter of humanity. I'm really not sure what else the show should have done - tie up every loose end? No emotional

It'll come down to Hannibal vs. The Americans, which is a legitimately difficult choice. I suspect Breaking Bad will end up in the finals. Ozymandias was colossal: "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Hey, I dated your buddy's sister and she's an embezzler. And she makes this weird clicking noise when she eats.

We need to turn over a new leaf.

And alliterates with ClitHole!

Considering that we're talking about personality disorders, I'll concur with @lionofdharma that neither erotomania or stalking (a form of erotomania) are described as such in any of the DSM clusters. However, erotomania is a delusion that may fit under the broader typology of schizophrenia. Is Lorna schizophrenic? I

Also surprisingly effective is Kanye's video interrupting another person's video that was already playing.

Given the large number of unexpected turns taken by the series thus far, I'm hoping Larry's and Polly's (guilt-driven) desire to remain friends with Piper is the setup for a punchline next season.

Vee hits nearly all of the signposts of a sociopath:

I agree about the peanut butter scene but the bathhouse scene ended on a funny note when Larry's dad said he had a Groupon.

Lest we forget.

Unless Piper takes them off her visitation list. I would. They are terrible friends.

Correct me if I'm wrong but has Piper been in jail for 7 months at this point? I distinctly recall someone saying she'll be out in 8 months.

It's in the general ballpark in terms of consistency and accuracy based on DSM criteria. Susanne is a clear cut schizotypal (i.e., eccentric thoughts and behaviours that lead to social isolation). She has odd, idiosyncratic combinations of beliefs and interprets everyday occurrences in bizarre ways. A lot of Red's

The mere fact that policymakers need to propose mental health courts, which are geared towards addressing the needs of people like Lorna and Susanne, suggests that judges and lawyers in traditional courtrooms are not necessarily equipped to assess the complexity of these cases with (very often, if not always) limited

It would likely come down to whether or not her lawyer used her mental illness as a defense, which is contingent on recognizing the illness in the first place (one of the recurring themes this season). The courts are not responsible for diagnosing Morello; they are only concerned with determining her guilt and the

Without giving anything away, this season does a phenomenal job of portraying highly destructive personality disorders (i.e., antisocial, borderline, narcissistic). It was equally frustrating and fascinating to watch.
