The Wire S0E06 "Homecoming"

Why didn't they round everybody up like this in the first place? There were too many of them?

Cedric keeps drawing away from Stringer. What's going on there? Is Cedric dirty? Or is Stringer undercover? Or is Cedric just a stickler for the rules?

Stringer is sooooo unhappy that Avon is out. And worse, Avon is not listening to him.

Oh come on, McNulty. That woman made it pretty clear you were a one and done.

I should look up Avon/Stringer slash when all this is done.

Oooh, who is Stringer's inside political guy? Just that Senator or whoever?

It is nice to see Cutty doing something he's good at and seems to enjoy.

Does Avon know about the co-op?

I'm waiting for Carcetti to be a total asshole, but besides sleeping with that other woman, he seems okay. He's a political manipulator, but he seems like an okay guy.

I like this relationship between Ronnie and Cedric.

This is the most acting Bunk has done the whole series, I think, this monologue to Omar.

Kima is a smart cookie.

Okay, sure, I respect Cutty for owning up and getting out.


The Wire S03E05 "Straight and True"

"You equivocatin' like a muthafucker." Oh Bubs.

I should start a band called My Girl Kima.

It's nice to see the businessman drugdealer be a person of color (as opposed, say, to Heisenberg).

I like Colvin's bespectacled buddy there.

Colvin seems to be the only person who knows McNulty who actually likes him.

"Is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?" Hahaha.

Beating someone up like that seems exhausting.

Oooooh, Avon's out!!

Sometimes Herc seems like a parody of someone from The Shield.

There's a certain amount of humor to this ghettoization of drug turf. But it's messed up, too.

I don't understand how these things happen. One minute they're chatting, and the next they're in the bedroom taking their clothes off. What happens in between??

Idris Elba in a suit is the best thing everrrr.


The Wire S03E04 "Amsterdam"

When are they going to get around to making me care about Cutty?

When did Lester agree to start going after Stringer?

Ohhh now Jimmy's going to find out about Cedric and whatserface!

The Wire S03E03 "Dead Soldiers"

"I think I might legalize drugs" I like Bunny.

They *literally* lay the body out at the bar??


Orphan Black S02E06

Sarah asking Helena about what the Proletheans did to her is the first time she has showed interest in Helena.

Really? You're just going to leave Helena in the car and tell her not to cause any troube? What's the chance of that working?

"You have very pretty eyes." "You have a nice hat." I LOLed.

I don't understand what Scott found. The stem cells they're using on Cosima are from one of the clones' daughters or nieces?

Allison is just befriending everyone from Sarah's life. (Everyone = Felix and Vic.)

Oh no. Is Siobhan going to kill the birds?

Hannibal S02E13

Interesting clock-ticking score this episode - in the teaser, in this scene with Bella.

And we're also back to the piano. No more of the Japanese percussion.

This episode is almost a little too stylized.

"They know" - same thing Hannibal said to Garret Jacob Hobbes.

Goddamn I enjoy watching Mads Mikkelson fight.

If Alana gets killed I'm going to be so pissed.

Alana with the gun reminds me of Clarie with the gun in Buffalo Bill's house.

(I figured Abigail was alive. No shock there.)

"You were supposed to leave." "We couldn't leave without you."

The police have now been called to this address twice. Where are they??

Well this is just a bloodbath.

Well. I guess we'll see what happens next season?

WHAAAAAAAAT??? Of all the things I didn't see coming...

The X-Files S07E01 "The Sixth Extinction: Part 1"

Look at all those bugs. Quick! Call Bambi!

So is this a ten plagues thing? Locusts, boils, blood... They're out of order, though.

So Mulder became an alien because he looked at a pencil rubbing of that fragment? Why only him? Or was he an alien all along?

I'm waiting for a big expository monologue.
