"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I was actually not displeased with the resolution. As handwavy as it was, it at least wrapped shit up.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Although I expected Oswald Danes to turn out to not have actually done the crime he was executed for, I think Bill Pullman Managed to eke out a convincing slow trudge towards humanity for the character.

It just seemed for a while there tonight they were going for "He's just a death seeker," I'm glad they didn't go there, though.

Nope, he was scum, he realized he was scum, and he knew he couldn't expect a life after it was over.

I'm sure there's a TV tropes entry for that, but Im tired and going to bed soon.

He was really chilling in the end when he was talking about the where the bad little girls go.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That was super creepy.

I didn't like this season, but I'm not unhappy with where we are at the end of it. Immortal Rex is interesting. Ongoing bad guy Families I don't love, but could be okay.

BTW, I was really irritated with the whole cell phone thing. I've been to the CIA (and know people who work there), they don't let you have personal cell phones, especially ones with phones and internet access. It's a tiny detail, but it irritated me.

Although I don't like having John de Lancie die, I enjoyed his exit line. It's exactly what many people would say.

For posterity, after realizing there might be a bomb left on the desk next to him and it was going to go off, his response was, "Oh, Fuck!"

As the thread title says, the cursing costs extra.

Yes, that was awesome. I wish he had been able to run far enough away after saying it though.

I liked last night's episode. I thought the beginning was a little too talky until the action started, but I liked how they managed to pull things together. But I liked the season as a whole. I think I'm fairly easy if you put Jack and Gwen in a show, I'm going to like it.

I don't think there is any kind of commitment yet for STARZ to put on another season, but I'm still hoping they will.

Trust my rage

If I don't get to see Eric having sex with someone, this show is going to get really boring.

eta: and what I mostly mean is that most of the storylines are getting really dull. Except Eric - actually, I'd watch him do almost anything.

Did you watch the whole episode yet? No sex, but a fairly hot scene near the end.

I thought the finale this week was interesting. It was good to see Renee again, although I'm not sure why he was continuing to use the fake Cajun accent after his death.

I knew the minute Terry's Marine friend showed up that was going to lead to trouble.

I hope that Jesus meant what he said to LaFayette and we'll continue to see him in the future through LaFayette.

when I posted, I hadn't seen all the way to the end and went back to add my edit. So yeah, Eric and carnage is fine. But mostly the show needs more Eric.
