Homicide: Life on the Street S01E02 "Ghost of a Chance"

Why are like all the detectives at this one scene?

True Blood S07E01 "Jesus Gonna Be Here"

All I remember from the end of last season is Eric naked on a mountain.

Who were these hostile vampires?

I thought Hep V killed the vampires? It makes them evil (or something)?

What are you doing introducing all these new characters?

Okay, okay, Jessica's new boyfriend is a Vietnam vet-era vampire. That's kind of interesting. (Does he have a name, though?)

I am so distracted by Violet's thigh gap. How does that even work?

What happened to Pam's lipstick?

Did Eric leave some sort of scavenger hunt for Pam?

Wait, what was with that body Sookie stumbled across in the woods?

Andy's daughter looks like Jennifer Garner.

Why is everyone blaming Sookie?

I don't know what's happening.

Homicide: Life on the Street S01E01 “Gone for Goode”

The Wire clearly owes a lot to this show already. That conversation about whether to pick up the phone? And the thing with the Mayor's security detail.

OMG, Andre Braugher looks so young!

Orphan Black S02E10 "By Means Which Have Never Yet Been Tried."

Castor? As in Castor and Pollux? Dude clones??

Why would you let Duncan brew his own tea??

"Enjoy your oopherectomy"

It must have been funny to film this dance party.

How does Sarah know who Marion is? Or does she not?

Man, Helena just keeps getting kidnapped.

Is Paul a clone?

Ohhh! Mark is the clone!!

What is it that Sarah will never forgive Siobhan for? Having Helena kidnapped?

The Wire S05E10 "-30-"

They've already got to the Mayor with this thing?

I appreciate that Kima was the one to rat, because it's the first action she's taken that's really affected other characters. But I wish they'd built up her motivation a bit more.

This courthouse leak thing could maybe have been more interesting.

Why didn't they offer Rawls a State Police position earlier?

Oh good! We do get to see Prez this season

 He's got a beard!

I want to believe Dukie, but I just don't.

Oooh, Jay is going to be pissed if he finds out and nobody told him.

I think this elevator CCTV camera shot may have been the only camera footage shot this season.

Oh! Is Templeton going to kill this guy??

The two things about the newspaper arc that I like are Gus and the story being written about Bubs.

He's not a bad lawyer, I'll give him that.

"You got paid, too." Rawls has a point.

Another dead cop? Who's this one?

Oh, is it McNulty? Cute.

Oh Lester still is from that woman from the first season.

Where's Kima? Why wasn't she at the wake?

Is anything else going to happen, or are the last 20 minutes all epilogue?

Nice moment between Daniels and Carver.

So who's the acting commissioner?? Landsman?

Hahahhahaha, Valchek is the commissioner? Ha.

So what happens to McNulty?

The Wire S05E10 "Late Editions"

Are there roller coaster shots in the opening credits just because of that ONE amusement park scene? They don't go back there?

"Be creative, gentlemen." Bunny was creative. That didn't work out too well for him.

Nobody told Marlo that Omar was calling him out??

Marlo's "My name is my name" scene is the most fired up I've seen him and the most I've given a shit about him.

Namond?? He sure cleaned himself up!

I don't like the goatee on Bunny.

Is Kima going to rat out everyone?

Is Bubs going to speak about Sherrod?

Bubbles is one of the most consistently compelling characters on the show.

If Michael gets killed, will that leave Dukie to take care of Bug? Or will he have to go back to his mom?

I do like that Snoop asked how her hair looked before she got shot.

Was I ever supposed to care about Michael?

So is the finale going to be all fallout from stuff that just came up this season? It seems like all of the long plots have been wrapped up already.

The Wire S05E08 "Clarifications"

Oh don't look so smug, McNulty.

I thought the story about the vet was the one true thing that Scott wrote.

!!!!!!!!!!
Who the hell is this kid that just shot Omar?????

That's it? Omar's dead? Who was that kid??

Oh, Scott embellished. Of course, Omar just got shot and then they cut over to this bullshit and I couldn't care at all about this newspaper.

(Well, Gus is all right.)

So the only way to make Kima relateable is to make her a womanizer like McNulty?

There are only a couple episodes left, so where are they going with this serial killer thing? Will McNulty get caught?

Even The Wire falls into the trap of making the FBI look like buffoons to make the police look better.

Sigh. Omar's murder doesn't even get a write-up in the paper.

So far, the only people they've shown being negatively affected by the serial killer thing is the alleged victims' families.

Orphan Black S02E09

Aw, look - Alison and Donnie are working together!

I want Helena to have a happy ending.

Delphine's hair is great.

I love that Donnie's solution to getting rid of a body is to dump it in the lake. He's a real Heisenberg.

Kira doesn't really have much of a personality.

Mrs. S looks sassy with those braids.

Last episode we had Dr. Moreau, this episode we have Dr. Frankenstein.

I think Gracie kinda likes Helena.

So religious nut guy wanted Gracie pregnant without having sex?

Are Gracie and Helena going to team up now? Soon?

Yay Donnie and Alison!

Helena "impregnating" religious nut is awesome. That's the kind of role reversal I can get behind.

I wonder if Rachel was just testing to see if Delphine would leak info to Sarah.

Wait, whaaaat??

Ohhh, Delphine was in on it!

Game of Thrones S04E10

I didn't live-blog this one, so here are my thoughts in no particular order.

Stannis' arrival at the Wall: totally underwhelming. What was that look Melisandre gave Jon Snow?

What the fuck are they doing to The Mountain?? Some Robocop shit?

"Your legacy is a lie." Lena Headey was on fire in that scene. But when Cersei turns to Jaime, was she being sincere or just making a play to be able to stay with her son?

Bran's plot finally starts getting interesting! I didn't care when Jojen died, and they didn't do much to try and make me care. Even his sister's grief rang false for me. But the skeleton zombies! Aren't those guys from Zelda? And what's with the tree fairies? And the old guy? Some sort of puppet man from The Dark Crystal?

Boohoo, Daenerys had to lock up her dragons. Will this make them disloyal to her or something significant to the plot? Or is it just sad for her? These court scenes are getting tiresome, too.

Nice bonding moment between Brienne and Arya over being tomboys.

The fight between Brienne and the Hound was pretty evenly matched. (Or maybe it was just the Hound's wound slowing him down.) First we had Trial by Combat, now we have Custody Battle by Combat. It says something interesting about Arya that she didn't intervene. She's kind of gone full mercenary. I was sad to see The Hound die, but I thought he had a pretty fitting end. When he was trying to goad Arya into killing him, really he was confessing his sins.

So Arya's on the way to Braavos at last. Okay.

Let's talk about that final sequence. How much of that did Jaime orchestrate? Was it his full intention to reveal the truth to Tyrion and sic him on Tywin? Varys didn't seem to be in on that part of the plan. And given Cersei and Jaime's odd reunion, was Cersei in on it?

I loved at the end when Varys turns to go back to King's Landing, and then he hears the bells and he's like, "Wait. JK. I'm gonna go get on the boat."

I understand the surprise element, but I would like to learn more about Shae's arc that led her into Tywin's bed. With only the context we have, how is she painted? Some interpretations are more sympathetic than others, and the show didn't do much to point us in one direction or another.

So Tywin falls. This leaves something of a power vacuum. Cersei was worried about Tommen being ripped apart by Margery and Tywin vying for power. Now what? Who will pull the strings? (Certainly Cersei won't marry Loras anymore.) And if Varys is gone, there is no information-broker either. Chaos in King's Landing, I tell you!

The Wire S05E07 "Took"

I'm just not really buying this serial killer thing.

I don't care about Clay Davis enough to see all this stuff about his trial.

YAAAAYYYYY!!!!! IT'S MUNCH!!!!!

Is that it??? Is that the extent of the Munch cameo??

Omar just hobbles on up and they don't see him coming.

The Wire S05E06 "The Dickensian Aspect"

Hey! It's whatsisface! Sobotka! I was hoping he (or someone) would make an appearance.

Reporter's gonna keep making shit up, and fucking up McNulty.

Yeesh. Good speech, Carcetti.

Haha. "No connection" between the serial killer and the bodies in the vacants.

Daniels is good on his feet.

I would love to see Bunk get Marlo, just by ol' fashioned detective work.

What did Daniels just hand to Ronnie?

Marlo is going to find it hard to run this co-op, I think.

And with that, Marlo has disbanded Stringer Bell's legacy.

McNulty is such a baby.

I think McNulty may have convinced himself that there actually is a serial killer.

Don't put this on Lester, McNulty. You're not wrong, but don't shift the blame.

If McNulty kills that homeless guy I'm done.

It makes it believable when they use abbreviations to talk to each other. "PC" instead of "Probable Cause"

Is any of the stuff they get on Marlo going to be admissable??

The Wire S05E05 "React Quotes"

Apropos of a Facebook conversation I'm having: Snoop is a strong female, but she is not a strong character. Ergo, she is not a strong female character.

Remember when Stringer Bell wanted to put a hit on Clay Davis? Ah, memories!

Dukie got tall.

Surely the lawyer realizes that his new client came at the life of his old client, right?

I feel like *I* could talk more convincingly about serial killers than McNulty.

"How do you get from here to the rest of the world?" Ohhhh Dukie. Prez was trying to get you there! Going to high school is how you get to the rest of the world!

"Where am I going to find homeless people?" Seriously, guy?

This is backfiring, McNulty. Now the budget is being spent in the wrong places.

Aww, Herc just wants to make it up to Carver.

Is there Carver/Herc slashfic out there? (Have I already asked that?)

Michael is teaching Dukie to shoot. This is not going to lead anywhere good. Who's gonna get shot? Bug?

Sigh. This guy just keeps making shit up. But that's okay, because the serial killed is made up too.

Missing your kid's school play? Pretty cliche, McNulty.

Huh. Elena isn't all that smug about this.

Bubs' sponsor is such a good guy.

A few seasons ago Bunk said that Jimmy is at his best when he's working a case. Now he tells Beadie that working a case makes him worse.

Is that Royce talking on Davis' behalf? Why??

I guess I was onto something about both the reporter and McNulty making things up?

Hahahaha, now McNulty and the Reporter have each other's number.

Herc already got in trouble for a fake CI.

The Wire S05E04 "Transitions"

"Out of respect for the man's [Omar's] skill-set..." I love the way Prop Joe talks.

Whatever happened to whatever they were putting up were the towers went down?

Carver looks gooooood in that uniform.

It's nice to see how Marlo slowly comes to respect Prop Joe.

Every new person in a position of power (Mayor, Police Commissioner) gets told by a predecessor that the job involves eating shit.

The Wire, or, Men Talking About The Good Old Days of Being (Police, a Gangster, a Newspaper Reporter, a Union Worker, a Politician, a Schoolteacher)

Oh hey, it's Herc!

So is Kima babysitting just for practice talking to kids?

I bet Elena would get a smug satisfaction out of seeing Jimmy fall into his old ways.

This episode is about things that *mean* something. (Herc's discussion with Carver, Prop Joe about his (grand?)parent's house).

Marlo also seems colder than the other gangsters because he keeps killing these characters we know and love.

The Wire S05E03 "Not for Attribution"

I do not understand how Jimmy can entertain this idea.

If she gets it free at the office, why go to buy it at the convenience store?

Oh, so that's why there was a roller coaster in the opening credits.

These newspaper guys kind of reinforce the series' theme of downtrodden guys working for bureaucratic institutions that are systematically broken.

Uh oh, is Butch gonna get killed?

The Wire S05E02 "Unconfirmed Reports"

"The game's rigged" Was it Bodie that said that to McNulty?

Whatever happened to Lester's CI lady friend from the first season?

"I don't want some amorphous series detailing societies ills." Is that some sort of meta-commentary on the show?

I think this reporter Scott is played by someone who played a bad guy in Law & Order, so he seems extra sleazy.

Avon! Long time, no see!

What the hell is Jimmy trying to achieve?

The Wire S05E01 "More With Less"

From this intro it looks like we're going more digital. Internet n' stuff!

I like the visuals on this intro, but I'm not crazy about this version of the song.

Is there anyone left from the Barksdale days? Poot?

When did Carver get promoted?

Oh, well it's been a year.

Are take-home cars that common?

Newsroom, eh? Let's look at another bureaucratic institution!

Hey! It's Gale!

They send the novice lady reporter to go to the strip club to threaten a drug dealer?

Are we going to see more of Prez this season?

"I wonder what it feels like to work in a real fucking police department" Who said that in an earlier season?

Herc is working for the mob lawyer?

The Wire S04E13 "Final Grades"

I love Landsman's "Homicide" lanyard.

Why does everyone use and abandon Bubbles??

NO!!! Bubbles!!!!! How the hell did he hang himself???? :(

Oh good, he's alive.

Ha. Nice epigraph (and attribution).

This really illustrates what a massacre drug violence is.

Why does Lester want Herc?

Come on, Landsman. Do right by Bubbles. You're his last chance. Take action. Do something.

No, don't just cut him loose. Come on.

Ohhhh, Lester needs Herc because he saw the nail gun.

"Kids don't vote." Come on, Carcetti. You're better than that.

Greeks? Are the Greeks back??

Omar is a likeable character because he's cheeky, daring, and he has a code.

Ooooh, McNulty wants in on this. He's not going to be able to resist this one.

Ha. The Greeks ARE back.

Does Marlo's organization have a lawyer?

Is McNulty going to find out that Bodie killed Wallace?

Chess metaphor - nice throwback to D in the first season.

Bodie lasted a long time.

Carcetti and Bunny haven't met yet, have they? I'd like to see what they could do together.

I've never seen Bunny so nervous.

Oh man, this episode is extra long.

Marlo seems more cold blooded because he's got no "family" feel to his gang, I think. He murders people with very little proof. He's got no loyalty.

The Wire S04E12 "That's Got His Own"

Marlo's hits seem so much more cold-blooded than Avon's hits were. Is it because they're so explicitly and thoroughly premeditated?

Wait, is this Michael shooting Chris??

Oh it's paintball.

I'm surprised that vacant building was dry enough for the body to mummify like that.

Why is Landsman ripping Lester a new one? Aren't bodies Lester finds no longer Landsman's responsibility?

If the schools have such a funding issue, then Carcetti should be all for academic research grants for school programs (ie, Bunny's program), right?

Is "Farmer in the Dell" the only song Omar knows?

I don't particularly trust Renaldo, but I don't think I'd enjoy being Omar's chauffeur either if he were my boyfriend.

Poor Marimow. It must be tough to be so hated.

Oh Herc. You don't even know how lucky you are that you still have a job. Not to mention the stripes.

I kind of want to be a forensic accountant. Sifting through a paper trail actually sounds like fun to me.

Why is the $50mil school debt just in the papers now? It's not new news.

Oh no, Bubbles. Who are you going to kill?

I kind of like the principal. She's no-nonsense.

Prez's doing sex ed now?

Lex wasn't even a drug murder.

I love Freddie in this role. (Er, the actor who plays Freddie on House of Cards. What's his name? Reg Cathey?)

Dukie's smart with computers. Nowadays he COULD drop out of school and get a good job.

I like Randy's foster mom. I hope Randy doesn't get killed.

Oh no. Sherrod isn't going to wake up, is he.

Did the guy who plays Bubbles get any awards for this role?

Did Daniels let Rawls have that one (putting the stats on Royce) on purpose?

"It's another bright idea" I love that Bunny recognizes that he's kind of a radical.

Oh shit! Fire bombing??

Oh shit. I thought it would be Randy that got hurt in the attack. It was his foster mom?? She was a good lady.

This episode is heavy.

The Wire S04E11 "A New Day"

Also, last episode: Bodie was upset that Fat Kevin got killed. Does he not remember that time he killed Wallace?

That officer that broke the kid's fingers is the one that oughta get fired. The kids should report him.

Why do I feel like Cedric is ultimately going to get screwed? Things have been going too smoothly for him.

Ohhhh, this is a bad plan, kids.

Hahaha, I like this thing Carcetti is doing to get the departments moving.

Is it just because he's Littlefinger that I keep thinking I'm not supposed to like Carcetti?

Has Rawls still not picked up that he's not next in line for commissioner?

Well now he gets it.

Herc is great and all, but he really keeps screwing up. It's time for him to go.

Who was that that Lester was looking up?

Does Herc even have any idea of all the shit he's stirred up?

Bunny needs City Hall to sign off on his radical plan? Fat chance.

Ooooh they're about to find all them bodies....

That final shot of Bunk in front of the vacants is nice.

The Wire S04E10 "Misgivings"

I don't really trust Omar's new boyfriend.

This Clay Davis is one corrupt fuck.

Herccccccc. Stop ignoring Bubbles!!!

I like how Colvin looks mostly just amused by Namond calling him in.

Prop Joe is engineering SOMEthing.

Oh Bubbles. Good one. Herc is going to be in deep trouble.

So Mrs. Daniels did win.

Burrell is out. What does he care who gets the job?

What?? When did McNulty's kids get so big???

This is a pretty brutal beating. As the audience, we're meant to trust Michael that this man is a bad guy, but we haven't actually seen evidence of that. (And Chris seems to be taking it personally.)

This would sit with me better if Michael had tried talking to a social worker first. But maybe that's the point? The title of the episode IS "Misgivings," after all.

The Wire S04E09 "Know Your Place"

Guys. "Little" could be ironic.

Bunk is at his most interesting when he's interacting with Omar.

They're going to steal Prez's credit card, aren't they.

Aww, they're applying what they learned in Prez's class to a real world situation...gambling...

Why do I feel like Herc isn't going to keep his promise to Bubs?

I thought Kima and Cheryl (is it Cheryl?) got back together? When did they break up again?

Awwww, Prez has really reached these kids.

Oh no. Is Bubbles going to get killed between now and tomorrow??

So will this dinner be all feel-good or a disaster scene?

I love that Bunny isn't telling them how to act at all. Just letting them react and do what they do.

I think I've said it before, but I really like Ronnie and Cedric as a couple.

Did we find out yet if Cedric's wife won her race?

Uh oh. Is Michael going to have his father hit?

The Wire S04E08 "Corner Boys

People still said "Audi" in 200whenever?

That's bold, Kima. Saying "fuck that" to the mayor elect and telling him to make a new pot.

The murder board has more names on it when there were the dead girls in the can, and that was supposed to seem like a lot.

Omar was smart to point to the fact that if he didn't do it, whoever did is still out there.

It's nice to see that even murder detectives have downtime. (I type as I watch this at work. Shhhh.)

Man, I hated fractions.

Is Bunny using this classroom as his own personal gangster focus group?

Prop Joe is pretty good at those fake accents.

I really don't like Namond's mother. (Obviously.)

Does Commissioner guy (what's his name again?) not know that he's on the way out?

Now he does.

Game of Thrones S04E09

Sam has a point. Not taking a wife and not having kids says nothing about what else you could do.

"Jon Snow is mine." Oh yeah, what about Sookie? Is Sookie yours too?

"Thousands of books and no eyes to read them!" Maester Eamon would like The Twilight Zone.

Ooooh, I wonder if Maester Eamon's long lost love is a character we know. Lady Oleanna, maybe?

"From now on, wherever you go, I go too." Sam channeling some Book of Ruth right thurr.

So what happens if the Wildlings defeat the Nights Watch? The White Walkers come and invade everywhere? Is the Wall really all that's stopping them?

I like this guy's definition of leadership, actually. Everyone will question him, but he mustn't question himself.

Hmmm, interesting quandary. Sam will certainly make more of a difference to Gilly if he stays alive than he will to the Nights Watch if he fights and dies. This is one of those things where honor is kind of stupid.

Is Ygritte going to get killed? I feel like Ygritte is going to get killed. Which would be too bad, because we haven't seen much of her this season.

Well this music is different. What are those, tubas?

Why does the Nights Watch seem so ineffectual and hopeless? What happened to all that training and stuff? I thought that was all they did. I thought they were supposed to be kind of admired, not a band of misfits? Then again, they ARE mostly a bunch of criminals.

What? Why is there a little boy? Where did he come from?


That does not look like a very good belay system.

Why are bald guys with facial scars always sadists?

Are they really going to devote an entire episode to this fight? Because I don't care that much.

If Tyrion had taken that deal, would he have made it up to the Wall before all this?

So when Oberyn says he won't die, he does. But when Sam says he won't die, he doesn't?

What's with this Wes Anderson style pan of the wall fight? Bleh.

Jon Snow would have been wise to wear a face mask. He must know that Ygritte will want to kill him.

Yup. There goes Ygritte.

I would care about Ygritte dying a lot more if we'd seen more of her this season.

It would have been interesting to see what Ygritte would have done if she hadn't been killed, though.

Aww, even Jon Snow's furry shawl looks sad.

The Wire S04E07 "Unto Others"

I like Carver a lot. He's had a lot of development.

"This ain't for me," says Cutty. Just like he said about being a gangster. So what IS for you, Cutty?

Ohhhhhh that teacher is Cutty's ex. That's why she looked so familiar

Aww, look! Prez is making a difference! He's reaching the kids!

Poor Bubbles :(

Orphan Black S02E08

Is this a transclone??

I thought Emma from Degrassi was Rachel's assistant?

What's lab assistant guy's name? I like him.

OMG I love Cosima even more. She's a tabletop gamer.

How did Sarah become, like, the head clone?

Felix is making out with a clone! Weird!

What DID happen to Paul? When did we see him last?

So is Tony just a one-episode deal?

COSIMA HAD BETTER NOT DIE.

The Wire S04E06 "Margin of Error"

I remember studying this chapter of Exodus in school!

Y'know? The Freddy scandal was maybe the worst part of the second season of House of Cards. Why escalate that? They take a good character that people like and give him more screen time, but just run him to the ground.

Oh, Prez. You can't save 'em all.

Randy's foster mother seems like a decent lady.

Oh Randy. He's just always wrong place wrong time.

Namond's mother is awwwwwful.

But isn't this just a primary?

Did Cedric's ex win?

Aw, man. I was hoping Littlefinger wouldn't sleep with his campaign strategist lady. How fucking obvious is that. Bo-ring. Oh good. He's not. Man, Teresa doesn't think very highly of men.

The Wire S04E05 "Alliances"

Why is Bubbles bothering with Sherrod?

I love the look on Prez's face when he's like "I can't believe I"m letting my student break into my car for me." And I also love that the student looks both ways to check if anyone is coming, just out of habit.

Why is Kima taking this so personally? She should know better.

Wait, how did Marlo figure out they're being filmed?

Randy is like a Bubbles-in-training.

I wonder if Prop Joe, or any of these guys, vote. Did Stringer Bell used to vote? He strikes me as the voting type.

Oh kidlings. Why are you going looking for bodies?

The Wire S04E04 "Refugees"

Is this the first time we've seen Prez's wife?

That was some pretty weak hazing of Kima.

Hahaha, they're playing Ridin' Dirty in the rims dealership.

"Ain't no 'bout adoubt it" did Bubble just say?

Good thing everybody's transferred to Homicide. That will be useful when all those bodies in the abandoned building show up.

I want to know more about Bubbles' past.

So what's the deal with Michael? Everyone is interested in this kid.

The Wire S04E03 "Home Rooms"

I love Omar's silk pajama pants and matching robe.

Is that Bunny? Yay Bunny. I'm glad he's not gonoe.

Hey, it's that guy!

I just saw McNulty in 300 last night. I didn't know he's British.

Well things with Beadie escalated quickly.

I like watching Pryz in class. He's my favorite storyline of this season so far.

This is about to get all Dangerous Minds up in here.

You can't say no more wiretaps. This show is called The Wire, dude.

This Renaldo guy is new, right?

Why do these two girls have such a problem with each other? And how did she end up bleeding??

Hidden Palms S01E01 "Pilot"

This show has Amber Heard in it and its written by Kevin Williamson. So why not?

Is that the same kid? I can't tell.

Good thing Amber Heard is wearing a white dress to frolic in the sprinkelrs.

But when do two people ever just meet and frolic through sprinklers together? What even is this?

Why is there a pop song every other scene?

Well this show is pretty terrible so far.

Okay, I love you Amber Heard, but I give up.

The Wire S04E02 "Soft Eyes"

I think teaching will be good for Prez. (And I'm sure he'll run into some kids who roll with the drug crews)

I wonder if Bodie will ever catch anything for having killed Wallace.

I like this scene with Cedric and Ronnie. They're cute together.

Shit Bubbles, I don't know what four times five plus six times seven is.

I keep wanting that second C in Carcetti to be a soft C.

Really? You trust Valchek with this, Herc?

So Cutty's story this season is that women keep hitting on him and cooking for him?

The Wire S04E01 "Boys of Summer"

Ooh, I like this version of the theme song.

Aw, Prez is gonna be a teacher? :)

Wait, did Cedric end up supervising McNulty again?

They showed Littlefinger having sex with that other woman that one time, but they haven't gone back to his infidelity at all. So what was that all about?

Who are these pigeon kids?

It's kind of nice to see Littlefinger get all frustrated and annoyed with what he's doing.

The Wire S03E12 "Mission Accomplished"

It's okay when a character I like dies if there's fallout, consequences. That's what stuck in my craw about Chilton on Hannibal. There was nothin'.

So nobody actually thinks that the Mayor is actually considering this idea, which he actually is?

Come on, McNulty, you knew Stringer was an educated man.

Is this the fist time they've showed Kima having sex? Wait - that's not her wife...

What's all this about an "open air drug market"? Is that somehow worse than a "closed" drug market?

Oh no, is it whatsisface? Aw, it is.

So much for letting the other guy shine, Littlefinger.

That was a nice bit with Cutty and Marlo.

How is Cutty earning money from his gym, though?

Nice image there of the Frank Sobotka posters by the docks.

This is one of those season finales that feels like they weren't sure if they'd get another season or not.

Why is Marlo attending Avon's trial??

Room for One: A Positive Representation of Female Sexuality in 'Bates Motel' published at BitchFlicks

For proof that I can write about television in real, actual paragraphs, I have a piece on Bates Motel published over at Bitch Flicks: http://www.btchflcks.com/2014/05/room-for-one-a-positive-representation-of-female-sexuality-on-bates-motel.html#.U40fVCiKyHc

The Wire S03E11 "Middle Ground"

I kind of want to be a detective sometimes.

Is Cutty trying to get, like, a grant from Avon?

When Bubbles toured Amsterdam, we saw what he saw. When Littlefinger tours Amsterdam, we just watch his face.

This conversation between Avon and String seems like a "last conversation" kind of conversation.

This is some John Woo shit with these pigeons.

Come on, String. You know they don't want money...

The Wire S03E10 "Reformation"

Brother Mouzon is back?

It's nice to see Bunny take an interest in Carver. I guess.

Ooh, Herc is actually TALKING to the reporter?

 Chances slim as a garter snake is a nice image.

Hm. Carver and Cutty is a nice match-up.

The fuck?? Why'd Marlo just shoot her? (I mean,  I had a feeling she had an agenda, but...)

I actually like Avon a lot more since he got out of the pokey.

I like where this is going with Cutty and the boxing gym. This is interesting.

Hahahaha - Ronnie with the leg cross.

Was that Rawls at the gay bar?? Is that going to be a thing, or just incidental?

...Did String just turn??

Ohhh, is String going to turn state's witness and then get killed and be Carcetti's platform?

It's actually kind of gratifying to see the big bosses get pissed at Bunny finally.

"Damn, Calvin, you know I got the bingo tonight." Awesome.

Game of Thrones S04E08

Oh good. It's been a long while since we last saw Ygritte.

Sansa is a smart cookie.

Robin as king? That's ridiculous. You're pushing it, Baelish.

Aha! The letter from Tywin!

Jorah is handsome. Who does he remind me of?

But what does Daenarys really lose by losing Jorah? What has Tywin actually accomplished?

This scene where Ramsay becomes a Bolton is *almost* touching.

Arya and Sansa are almost reunited. What will happen to stop it the reunion?

"The Bloody Hound and His Traveling Companion" is my new band name.

Arya laughing is a nice sound.

Did Sansa dye her hair?

What's with this beatle story?

I like Oberyn's ladyfriend's cape. With the shoulders.

Well dammit.

Orphan Black S02E07

Oh, did Vic just let Alison find out on purpose?

Are we ever going to see more of Emma from Degrassi?

Did Cosima just say, "I'm the science"?

Hm, so who's this woman?

It's about time we got around to some clone-as-clone impersonation

I'm glad that Alison and Donnie are finally hashing it out, but where are the kids? Unsupervised in rehab?

Is that the end of Leekie? So now what?

Donnie??

UHHHHHHHH   !!!!

The Wire S03E09 "Slapstick"

Really, McNulty? You're so desperate you take a booty call while your kids are with you?

 So Omar does have a suit...

I love Bernard's girlfriend.

What happened to that woman who was living in Hamsterdam?

So Avon just totally forgave String for having D killed?

I'm confused. What just happened?

Oh Pryz. Poor Pryz.

"I didn't give a shit if he was black or whatever. Or maybe I did. How the hell do you know what's in your head?" Good on him for acknowledging implicit bias.

Awww, he's sad he disappointed Lester.

Herc is snitching on Hamsterdam!?

You done screwed up, Carver.

The Wire S03E08 "Moral Midgetry"

I like that Littlefinger's wife and adviser get along together.

That was a good scene, with McNulty and D's mom.

Isn't Marlo like 16 or something?

This woman is real smooth at telling Marlo he didn't satisfy her.
