There's too much disconnect between the plot/exposition and the characters/atmosphere.

I wonder if there was some problem with shooting in that motel room because the pacing of all the dialogue in that room was very strange.

Thank you. She was truly bad. It wasn't just the lines.

Well, I hate feeling that way about these lines. I would love it if P would give me a reason to think a character would say or think these things. The problem is that he doesn't.

Commenter Formerly Known as Prince, you just made me actually guffaw.

But even in Season 1 there was too little difference between scenes that were supposed to be thematic and scenes that were supposed to be connecting plot points, as the confusion over the Barbie scene demonstrates. The trick is to surprise the audience by having supposedly thematic scenes also turn out to be relevant…

He actually said "I've always admired that about you" which was more pretentious-sounding (to me) than the way you've presented it.

It's been fun in short doses but I wouldn't have got past Episode Three if I'd had to marathon it.

I realized halfway through this episode that ever since Episode Two I have thought "This would have been a good first or second episode" at some point during every single episode.

I felt like it was telegraphed through the whole episode that Paul was going to die (maybe because he was the focus of the Previously On, come to think of it), so when that gunfight started I was kind of irritated. We didn't learn anything about Paul that we didn't already know and then he died. So that whole scene…

I don't know, man. At least I felt like I knew what Pizz was aiming for in those conversations. The Ray and Ani conversation didn't make any sense to me at all. Except for the line where Ray said he had always admired Ani for not talking about her sexual assault which I thought was a sneaky hit at Pizz's feminist…

Ray, [pertaining to nothing]: Do you ever miss it?
Ani: What?
Ray: Anything?
Barber: Ok

No. He made it sound like the pics were part of his undercover operation.

I wonder if he and Jimmy Iovine ever get together.

Aw, I kind of like them.

I don't think they want revenge. Caspere was at the center of the conspiracy, in that he was involved with all the different camps of it. Killing him was an attempt to expose the conspiracy.

Burris is all about covering things up. Caspere's murderer wanted things exposed. Burris probably shot Ray but he's not the Birdman.

I think you either came to the wrong place or you don't know what "tart" means.

"You're the most innocent person I've ever known." That scene was about Ani and the audience realizing that there was genuine idealism under her father's hippy bullshit. For all his talk about auras he is able to see Ani for who she is.

I agree they are making Jordan look suspicious, but it could be a fake-out.
