He follows a code of honor that is devoid of humanity, though.

Are you guys all forgetting how Gus talked Walt back into cooking meth? His "traditional family values" code IS his psychopathy.

Hector's attention is on the wrong thing: his money.

But Wheat Thins don't go in the fridge.

I think you're right but the problem is we haven't been shown that Gloria is particularly capable or qualified. Or particularly kind or compassionate. The only glimpses we were given into her character when this season began showed her to be resentful of losing her position and muleish toward the new chief's…

Only in Trump's America can someone be called a pedant for knowing what a word's definition is.

I'd say that Sy is more of a main character than Yuri is.

But it was also Colin Hanks's portrayal of fear that sold that scene. Colin Hanks is kind of a genius at portraying just normal, regular guys.

I understand that storylines can't all be wrapped up in one season, but there has to be at least a sense of why each storyline is significant if a season is going to have any coherence. There were too many plots this season whose significance is still obscure: Philip's son, Stan and Renée, the entire Oleg plot — these…

Signs of weakness started showing last season, I thought. I know this is an unpopular opinion but IMO the Martha plot was dragged out to ridiculous lengths. I think the writers have become too attached to their characters and are losing sight of the plot as a whole.

It was the same twitch his face gave in the last scene of a previous season when he was looking at Paige. It seemed to herald something important. It went nowhere.

It's so frustrating because those first three episodes showed that this team was capable of bringing the world of the novel to life.

I don't care whether it's male or female — I really dislike backstories. The idea that character can be developed independently of plot (or the main plot, at least) is just wrong, IMO. Giving characters backstories doesn't just slow the story down; it makes characters seem more static, less developed. I think…

Grace Zabriskie!

Is anyone else as affected as I am by the slight buildup, in the opening titles, to the music and the TWIN PEAKS title? I can't really explain what I'm talking about but I find it very moving.

This was like an above-average episode of The Walking Dead. I didn't need to know the backstory of the attempted escape. The dialogue during Luke's trip to Canada with his rag tag but awesome rescuers was ridiculously clichéd. If this is the direction this show is going in as it departs from the novel I am not excited…

The Soviets executed their own soldiers just for being prisoners of war. It was a monstrous system.

Well, we don't share your tribal Russian feelings, perhaps.

It was too obviously supposed to make the viewer say "I didn't see THAT coming!"

Especially considering the nervous breakdown she had.
