What would they even replace them with? The continuing adventures of Peyton the Roommate?

I suppose [Major's reasoning might have been that] shooting him once more in the head would not be well-received at Major's eventual trial… But it's enervating when a good guy makes some unforced error that helps a bad guy get away. Even if Major believed the dude to be a regular human.

Is it fine, in this day and age, to give us such a scene, with the obviously-fake suspense about Blaine getting killed? It was so apparent that we were getting some hollow bullshit of some sort (moral dilemma, blah blah blah*). Maybe Lowell's death, as a surprise and a big development, could justify that narrative…

They also have a formal-wear company called Tie-gris.

I don't like it when there are unread clues left on the board. I really wanted the contestants to hurry it up. (Rodgers was quick, though.)

I only guessed it using Jeopardy! logic. I pretty much went "Well that is totally unguessable unless…" and thus arrived at the correct question.

I agree. No one who knows the phrase "Princess Grace" would *not* know the name "Grace Kelly."

I love it that folks are calling it Jamaican and all sorts of things. New Zealand with a touch of Dutch?

Trope-wise, it was as if he feared Romero might torture him and therefore started insulting him so he would outright kill him instead. (But we had zero reason to think Romero might torture him; the scene just had the syntax we commonly encounter in such instances.)

RIP that South African accent or whatever it was :)

I even forgot about "Political Animals"…

Yeah, this is a good comments section, that we can clamor for something but, once we get it, we are still able to critique it on the merits of the execution.

Maybe. Probably. (We the audience can add "Definitely.")

I loved the way that line was written, and also Vera's level-headed line reading. Much less histrionic that the usual, martyred, guilt-trippy "I won't be alive forever, you know!"

Yay! I'm spending it all at the taxidermy shop!

I enjoyed these details. Norma was wearing an outfit (suit and tie) traditionally worn by men, a nice parallel to Norman-in-a-dress. And *Norma* clobbered someone with a metal doorstop that resembled an iron, a nice echo to the way her husband died (via blender) presumably at Norman's hands. And her reasons for doing…

Upvoted for "I am disappointed that I'm even disappointed."

Bob "Mad Men" Paris: "How does it feel to have turned into your father after all?"
Sheriff Romero: "Not great, Bob!" [bullets]

Nikita was really good at catering the goon takedowns to Maggie Q's petite physique: More often than not, when facing some huge guy, she would first hit him in the kneecaps or, like, climb him like a tree (at lightning speed) and strangle him with her legs. So, so awesome.

And on Penny Dreadful.
