I think you are misreading Tawney. Her idea of a date night is not to FORCE a bond, but to try to regain some closeness with her husband. She feels guilty about her feelings for Daniel, as she confessed to Ted. She's trying everything she knows to patch things up with Ted, if not exactly for love but because it's her…

Two things. One, I don't think for even a moment that Daniel would seek his own revenge on Bobby Dean. That's not at all why he let him go free. Two, I can't imagine that Ted was involved in the beating. Both of these ideas seem completely wrong for this show, IMO. For another show, sure, but not this one. But I could…

May I just say, Lee Pace is freakishly tall. He has this little tiny head and strangely elongated legs. Or is he digitally remastered???? And when I look him up on IMDb, his main other credit is for something called Soldier's Girl about a soldier and a trans person. Which one did he play? He's so weird. No offense,…

By the way, beautifully written recap here. It's very much in keeping with the mood of the show, so that's really fine. Well done, Erik.

What was that? I could hardly understand a word!

The mother is a wonderful character. So much love.

I get that but watch HGTV sometime. Apparently you can buy mansions in these podunk towns for peanuts. It's crazy. My thought is always, who cleans all that space?!

On a regular network show, Melvin would certainly turn out to be a missing piece of some plot puzzle, but this is not that type of show, I don't believe.

Really? You must have some SUPER-hi-def TV. On my set her face looked very smooth and pale with just big eyes, big mouth, and two nostrils. And lots of hair of course and the cigarette.

She is wonderful. That sad haunted look on her perfectly innocent face— she is so lovely.

People keep telling me "don't download, watch the episodes on SundanceTV" but they're not there. And I have stupid FIOS…

Sorry you guys, but I'm watching this episode again and I've got to say, with regards to Amantha, she is a comfort to no one and raises the tension level all around herself, like it's her mission. I really can't stand the bitch. Yes, she found something nice to say to Tawny finally, but it was like pulling teeth to…

Really? I find Amantha hard to take. Not the actress but the character. IRL I make it a point to steer clear of high-maintenance, high-strung young ladies.

DVR it, so you can fast-forward through the commercials.

Yes! It was slow going. I couldn't make it to the end.

I like Magnificent Seven— I've had it on repeat for days!

And Oreos? Is your screen name The Carver?

As a woman, I'm fine with the dearth of women. It's real and it's funny.

I got the sense that the judges thought it would be dangerous. They all drew back in horror when he made as if to turn it on. They found it scary! It was NOT just, Would this sell?

I guess I'm really easy because I'm totally attracted to Erlich by now. Like many women (and the judge's two wives), I cannot resist a big man with animal qualities brimming with self-confidence. I'd sleep with him! BTW, is it just me or has TJ Miller gotten a little fatter with each episode? That doesn't change my…
