When the writers go WAY out of their way to have Nora describe diving as the perfect suicide that would leave no one the wiser, and Laurie immediately volunteers that she just happens to be a certified diver…then YES, IT DOES. :)

My problem with this is very Annie Wilkes in "Misery": "This isn't what happened last week! Have you all got amnesia? They just cheated us! This isn't fair! HE DIDN'T GET OUT OF THE COCK-A -DOODIE CAR!"

When was the moment where she expressed the change-of-mind that you're attributing to her? Think of all the different ways that moment could've been played. She could've simply said, "It's too late to dive. Let's go back in." and you'd know. Instead, she goes through with the dive; as much as she loved her children…

My problem isn't the decision itself. It's the fact that they did everything they could to make you believe she did kill herself, then did not share her moment of epiphany — her change of heart — with us. That would have been very moving. Instead, she's simply shown alive with no acknowledgment, explanation or…

I totally understood why she decided to kill herself. She was someone who looked at life in black-and-white terms, and felt utter terror when the rationality that she based her life on fell out from under her. The first scene of the episode, when she doesn't have anything worthwhile to say to her patient (as well as…

Of course I am! What other reason are we supposed to believe…that she really likes fish? We only learn that she knows how to scuba dive in this episode and in the conversation about killing yourself through that activity. It is exactly what they wanted us to assume. I read this killer and very in-depth article on Vultu…

There is justification for her changing her mind, certainly…but they neither show, tell nor indicate her change of heart in any way which makes me question why they went there at all.

I have absolutely no idea. It's only the second or third time I've ever posted on here so it's not like I'm flagged as a rabble-rouser!

I need to go to bed BUT…I will defend the final season of Lost forever. It's arc made total emotional sense to me. Just sayin'.

That last-minute Laurie decision is SO lame on their parts. But again, it's my one issue with a show I really adore.

I think you're understating how hard the show worked to make us assume she killed herself. Everything — from her calling herself Judas who famously killed himself, to saying goodbye to Kevin and leaving him the "don't forget me" lighter, to saying goodbye to her children, to choosing the exact method of suicide that…

I, of course, saw and really liked Rogue One…but let's talk The OA on Netflix! I did a mini-binge of the first four of the eight hour-long episodes, and I'm impressed by the ambition and imagination of it. It's kind of a mystical mystery/thriller, but I don't want to give away any of the plot because the sense of…

I honestly don't think executives at Sundance, with their high-brow series and low ratings, are obscenely wealthy. While that is certainly WAY too many commercials, the ad revenue did make this wonderful series possible…so it can be forgiven. Of course, take what I say with a grain of salt because I watched on DVR so…

A lovely, tear-inducing finale to a great and challenging series. I hope this is a show that people find and binge in the future because it certainly deserves a wider audience. These actors will probably never get their due in terms of awards and recognition, but we who have watched these past four years know that…

I'm thinking more and more about community as I think about the ending of this show, both the community a family provides and the larger communities of Paulie and the halfway house. We all define ourselves, at least partly, by how are perceived or — probably more correctly — how we think we are perceived. That is no…

So the age difference between Amantha and Teddy was actually less than that between Daniel and Amantha, which means neither set of siblings were exactly peers during their teenage years, but Amantha and Teddy were closer in age. 13-year-old Amantha saw 17-year-old Daniel, a brother she adored, be arrested and…

I think you're being very hard on Teddy, who has evolved so much since season one. He knows that Tawny has trouble asserting herself, and that putting all the pressure for their relationship continuing on her — as it was up until this episode — cornered her and would possibly keep them both in limbo for a long time.…

At the beginning of the season, I might have thought that we would never find out who killed Hannah Dean…but with every episode, what happened that night and in the investigation immediately afterwards is becoming more clear, not more opaque, with a veritable Nancy Drew Mystery playing out as a subplot without…

But 30 years later, he would be the patriarch of the family and the head of the family business, so philanthropic endeavors would be expected. But even in the time period in which we see him, I get the impression that Logan loves Westworld precisely because he can act as douchey as he wants, but that when it comes to…

In terms of Westworld and change, I only mean that there is nothing that the show has shown us that would lead us to believe that they are neither advertising it as nor are people going there to change. On the contrary, it seems to be billed as a fantasy fulfillment vacation for the very wealthy. Certainly someone's…
