"A Coat of White Primer"!! Pleeeease…that episode is so awesome, and you are tantalizingly stuck on the precipice of reviewing it.

The next one is the best one.

It was fantastic. It kind of saved the day for me, because I was finding the episode remarkably boring and unfunny before that.

I'm glad you brought up his being menacing. So many people seem to still find him a very sympathetic character. Am I the only one who found his intense stare at the end of the episode very threatening, not just to Alison but maybe even to her daughter?

People lie *because* of the judgement. You are clearly a feminist, so you should know better than to advance this argument. It wasn't many years ago (maybe zero years ago in some cases) that sexually experienced women had to lie about how many sexual partners they had had if they wanted to be seen as "marriageable"…

I watched the season in about ten days myself, and I still found the finale not fitting with the rest of the series. A lot of it is MMV or whatever…but if you still have access to that episode, go back and listen to the music at the very end, when they were arresting Noah. Just atrocious, and unfathomable that they…

But I do think it's fair to criticize when the show is one thing for nine episodes, and then becomes something else. That's why I agree so strongly with the reviewer that it was a huge misstep when it suddenly became a soapy potboiler in last season's finale, and that it's a great relief to see it dial back into a…

I like Noah, just in general. And it was not the intent of the showrunners for everyone to hate him. We just live in a really judgemental society where people take a very self-righteous attitude toward infidelity.

I was surprised too. I was expecting A-.

I am finishing up listening to "Joad" right now for the first time, courtesy of Apple Music. I'm intimately familiar with all of Springsteen's music from his first ten years in the business, including "Nebraska", but I have generally ignored everything after that. (Just FTR, this is not because I am a "Big Chill"…

In fact, we saw that some of the things they told the detective were controverted by their memories. For instance, very early on when Noah said he was avoiding Allison, while the images on screen showed just the opposite.

Take a look at who has been getting the upratings. Very few people have the same issue with it that you do.

Ah, that would make sense if it was a body double. No matter how good your genes, how much you work out, that body was amazing for a fifty year old, I thought.

She must have some pretty insane genes just to have that body, regardless of how much she pays her personal trainer.

I was thinking the same thing. She should have been in that sketch with Amy Schumer, Tina Fey, etc., gloating that she got to be "fuckable" longest of all!

It drives me nuts that people rightly are shocked and disgusted by this group but conveniently ignore that the same kinds of practices are rampant across the Muslim world.

I saw it.

I just finished watching the movie, enjoyed it very much, but I'm still not sure what line this refers to.

I really liked the subplot. I see no problem with having a "B plot" that is related to the main one only because the characters are connected in some way. For that matter, though, some of my favorite films, like "Magnolia" and "Short Cuts", have very little connection between the plots.

I'd be fine with not seeing those characters again, but I'm pretty sure we will and I'm okay with that too.
