So the inverse of his repeated insistence that regardless of DNA, it's his kid.

Yeah I didn't want there to be an eldritch abomination or anything but there's nothing particularly game-changing about your murderer being a gross, disfigured hick who has sex with his sister.

I remember when Boardwalk Empire announced the flashback structure for its final season, thinking "Oh God, some poor kid is going to get his big break based on his plausibility as a teensy Steve Buscemi."

This show could never abide a whole joke per episode.

Hey, they know their audience.

And yet, still a less offensive plot twist than "I can't form babby because abortion."

Raise your hand if you have been personally victimized by Ani Bezzerides. Good.

It might be awkward storytelling-wise but in-story it does seem like, between being drugged and threatened with rape, this would be the first real occasion for it to come up semi-organically.

What's the over-under on a lingering shot of her putting the test results in the fireplace?

True White Complainer

Ray's dad is either the guy who investigated the diamond murders or Frank's wife.

I kind of saw Paul's dialogue during the getaway as a guy who was only a detective because of departmental politics desperately trying to deserve the title. It would have worked way better with an actor who was better at levity.

That wasn't a hippie, that was Hagrid, clearly.

Whatever else, I didn't think it was the haven of people who defend fictional rapists' honor.

Get outta here, Dewey! We're doin' MOLLY!

I posted on Tumblr about what a great moment that was and got an anonymous, poorly-spelled message calling me a "man-hating sadist monster" for endorsing the stabbing of a guy trying to rape you. I guess that clears up what Bill Cosby's been doing with his time.

The show seems to have a vague idea that Vaughn is at his best on this show when they let him be funny, but it's dawning very, very slowly.

Perfect username-comment serendipity.
