As long as it makes me feel all dark and weird inside like the first one I'll call it a success, because only in a noir film can we truly understand that there's no way to win the game of life, we can but hope to lose more slowly…

She is the most emotional actress I've ever seen hands down. No one expresses more subtlety of mood and feeling shifts like Eva Green. She has mastered emotional intelligence/body language/facial features/psychological builds. My other favorite actor/actress lately is the great Mads Mikkelson, and since they star in…

I will NEVER speak ill of anything Eva Green stars in. Shame on you AV Club. :/

Oh I laughed right the fuck out-loud when that fbi guy barely slapped Eph and as he was leaving the room he said something like if you're jacking us over what just happened in there was just an appetizer, I won't be so nice if you're lying to me. I was like, oh noes! Not an even harder bitch-slap fbi guy! You might…

Most silly line of this episode:

Absolutely. It's taking too long for the shit to hit the fan!

A-?

Not every character has to die. Eric shouldn't die. They really shouldn't kill Eric off in my opinion. I'm kindof hoping they might do a theatrical film in the next few years as a real finale but I'd only support it if the author of the books would get to write the screenplay. I read an interview with Lauren Bowles…

I love how at the beginning of this season the tone was doom and apocalyptic with hep-v infected rabidly crazy and starving vampires decimating whole towns and devouring every human in sight, but at this point in the season people can book flights on delta and a fairy can walk down the streets at night unharmed. Am I…

I'm SO sick of this repetitive droning score(the main theme). They use it in every other scene for every episode. It's lazy.

You're doing that lost/twin peaks/true detective thing. Chasing macguffins and red herrings and mystery boxes. I'll admit that it's fun, at least until some point when you realize you're taking the show's mythology more seriously than the writers are. ;P

Here is where I find myself relating to the GR's mission:

Umm Laurie angrily raced outside and blew the whistle at him the other episode doing the exact same thing meg did, she got angry, which means she still felt attached to her feelings. I'm not exactly sure why when she got angry the GR cheered silently with big grins on their faces, but when Meg basically did the same…

I liked this episode to some extent, the first since the priest's episode although I can't really put into words exactly why. Perhaps because like Patti, I constantly and obsessively think about the moment when my own death will come. I sometimes lie in bed sweating from the panic of realizing that one day I will…

It seems rather contradictory though. In their near-buddhist pursuit of the letting-go of all attachments they doggedly cling to the idea that their purpose is in fact meaningful, when clearly it is not. They are like horse flies hell-bent on annoying the shit out of random people.

I'm wondering how Gene Simmons gets his hair to look like that? I'm picturing him walking up to a shoeshine boy in an NYC subway, sitting upside down and asking for kiwi black.

I agree that Soderbergh isn't an auteur, but he at least does know not to get in the way of the story.

Yes, it rather does feel a lot like Masters of Sex structurally, which isn't necessarily a good thing, I'm finding myself liking MoS less and less this aimless second season, but as long as this is as good or better than MoS's first season I'll be satisfied with that result. The pilot felt very taut, but this episode…

All these drugs are still miracle drugs. That's why they're still selling like hotcakes at 3am in IHOP. ;P

I was absolutely certain(like Claire thought) that the basement dungeon was some sort of torture chamber of horrors, but was pleasantly surprised to learn what it actually was, she seemed to feel so at home when visiting that room the first time, almost like she already knew she had spent a great amount of time to…
