She could have saved WP by gunning down the leader of the Hitler Youth when she was tempted to at the jail.

I loved that ending! But I had not watched since season two.

I see so many people saying this, but it was a spooky mystery with no payoff (hi, LOST!). Does that really appeal in retrospect? For me, I'm annoyed they had all this mystery that didn't mean anything, so I'd have preferred they get straight to the cards-on-the-table sci-fi.

Dan Fienberg said the books are "pretty much total trash".

Those tools had a bunch of weapons, and were against a population in the compound that may have had no more than three people trained to use weapons (Kate, Theresa, and the one guard who joined their cause).

I think in retrospect, it was dumber in the early going. There was all kinds of "mysterious" stuff that turned out not to mean anything (in the tradition of LOST, grrrr). Ethan waking up outside; the motel clerk insisting on payment and kicking him out; Pam and "Dr. Jenkins" seeming to be kidnapping Ethan for some…

Ah, gotcha.

Yeah, but your point being…?

But it's silly to say Star Trek wasn't political. Its politics, though, were firmly on the Sixties center-left.

I thought that line (about Marnie being so irritating in a two-minute video chat) was interesting because I'm normally *not* irritated by her, even when everyone else clearly is. But either there was something special about that scene, or I finally reached my limit!

Good parenting skills?!? Are you a parent?

Yes! I was disturbed by the scene, and maybe even more by these commenters' reactions to it. Jesus.

Weird: I have a studio apartment in my house that I rent to college students for $265 a month. Don't say the city, but did your apartment have a bay window that overlooked a lush (some might say overgrown, LOL) garden? Near the post office?

I used to find him tiresome except in very small doses, but I agree that the "neither am I, bruh" line was hilarious.

It's a really good episode, but I'm so glad I didn't miss the posting of the next one, "A Coat of White Primer", as that is my very favorite episode of the series.

Me too!

What did he mean by his parting words to Nuck about strength in numbers?

I don't understand the love for that scene at all. The scene earlier in the upstairs restaurant was fantastic though.

I thought Woody and Rebecca were piss-poor replacements for Coach and Diane, so I can't sign on to the idea that it was great throughout.

Apparently my impression of the finale diverges radically from the conventional wisdom, based on a lot of what I'm reading. I was really impressed with the first half of it rather than the end of it. I thought after the hysterical restaurant scene in which first Sam and then Diane are revealed to have been using…
