That whole challenge was SO full of laugh out loud moments. I lurved it!

I feel like this has happened several times in recent episodes - where Kalinda just leaves a message for Alicia. Seems weird that they can't even have a phone conversation where both parts are taped at different times.

Calling this a "slow-moving series" seems wrong to me. In fact, I am constantly surprised at how much has happened in the first season… Time travel, marriage, love, various excursions, several attempted(?) rapes, witch imprisonment, murder, etc.

You know, I was thinking about that too, but I wonder if they wouldn't somehow submit him in Best Supporting instead? I'm assuming Chandler gets top billing here, but I could be wrong. I totally agree with you, though, it's Hamm's year. I would be disappointed if he doesn't finally take it home.

I second this if for no other reason than MORE ELSBETH.

I think it's interesting that you say, "To me not having to be coerced into saying things you don't believe seems perfectly sensible." I thought Diane put up a great argument to this, which was that the speech was not that of the baker but of the couple.

I think what happens, in the real world, is that it starts with little personal in-jokes, then words that could be construed as mild flirtation, no harm no foul. Then the temptation to write back and forth becomes too strong and logic just goes out the window and it gets hot and heavy. Even for intelligent people.…

I don't know if I *liked* it, but I definitely didn't hate it like everybody else. We can hang in the corner.

What struck me odd about the belt scene is that, the way Heughan played it, I was certain he wasn't actually going to hit her. He was doing the whole mischievous twinkle in the eye thing that he does so well. I was actually really jarred when he did it because I really thought that he was just trying to scare her and…

I just want to apologize in advance to everybody for what I'm about to type, but… I might be remembering this inaccurately, but I think Shirley's vomit was sort of clear with black bits and Pettigrew's more opaque and yellow.

I give a little leeway with that part of the story because I think, like many people, Danny isn't self-aware enough to recognize that he could have made different choices throughout his life. To him, his entire failed existence is predicated on that lie. I think in his heart of hearts, he actually believes that he had…

I wouldn't have bought it until that scene played out. With his entire family at risk and Danny not showing an inch of retraction or remorse in that moment, everything John had been holding back for so long came pouring out. Great stuff.

Ben Mendelsohn makes Danny one of the most believably menacing characters I've ever seen on TV. Whereas so many actors turn "bad" characters into caricatures, he has managed to imbue Danny with a palpably deep-seated, simmering resentment and anger. His facial expressions alone have more impact than the dialogue. It…

What an episode! I don't know how to classify this show, genre-wise, but I can't think of any other show, sci-fi/horror or otherwise, that has been so thrilling and scary. Those final moments of the episode, I was literally screaming at my screen: "Stop putting your face so close to the zombie lady! Close your MOUTH!…

This episode was the first time I thought she actually lived up to her AVC hype. Really fun to watch.

I think Netflix did a shit job of promoting it before it came out/when it came out. I am noticing more ads for it, though, all the sudden.

Are we certain he didn't get bitten in that onslaught?

Oh man… that was stressing me out and I hate that we didn't see what he did with it. I love it whenever those two are in scenes together. Really great chemistry. I can't help but want SOMETHING to work out for Fiona.

Oh, I don't think she's an asshole at all. That comment was more in reference to peoples' general self-awareness or lack thereof.

For me, it was a middling-to-good show with a great cast until episode 9 or 10, when it became addiction-worthy watching. It's a show with a slow start, but watching Ben Mendelsohn and Kyle Chandler dance around each other with increasing tension has really put it over the top for me. I'm saving the final episode for…
