What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I am so confused. Is Lester really a Cylon?

Always Anti-fascist!

Nope-- "smooth" does not equal metallic. The man has hidden depths, and that's all I can say about that. Because our friend is right...the evolution is pretty cool.

I, for one, would be astoundingly pleased if he turned out to be the Final Cylon. But it seems very unlikely.

I swear, they have the best conversations in the Pit. Chicken McNuggets!!

I think this Lester character was in a couple scenes. Examining an...armoire?

I can sort of see why erika compared Jane and Bubbles. They both seem sort of downtrodden and cast aside. But I loved the thing with the hats! That was slick.

I also like Lt. Daniels, who I first knew as the creepy dude on Lost.

The interdepartmental politics are kind of hard to follow. I don't understand why they're not supporting this Barksdale case. It seems like the real deal to me, come on!

I liked Herc and Carver before, and now they're a couple of twats. So perhaps I will withhold judgment.

This second episode was better, maybe just because I actually had some background for what was going on this time! I can see that the individual episodes aren't really...individual episodes. They're just the way the story is doled out. In episode-sized chunks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, that hat scene is AWESOME.

Yeah, just one of the millions of times Andre Royo deserved the Emmy and didn't even get nominated for it.

I love Lance Reddick. I'm very excited that they cast him on Fringe.

Yeah, me too. I looked him up and realized he was also on Oz ! So that's actually how I first knew him.

This episode's Awesome Pit Scene: the chess lesson!

I'm really liking D'Angelo, too. He seems like a good kid in a bad business. Which worries me that he's going to meet a tragic end.

Speaking of tragic ends, Bubbles is pretty awesome. But he's playing a dangerous game! How has he not been found out yet?

Lester! Quietly going off and finding a picture of Avon Barksdale! I wonder what his deal is.

Motherfucking Deputy! I hate his stupid ass. Stop gutting the case!

And, what the shit, that's Omar? The awesome character everyone thinks is awesome? The bad guy who steals from other bad guys and shoots kids in the kneecap ?? I am going to have to wait and see why people like him so much. I had always assumed he was a cop, one of the good guys.

Daniels is dirty?? Shit! Right after I said I liked him, too.

Hee, watching P-C watch the Wire is very fun.
