Stephanie,
yes, I think the show was supposed to infer that. My only question with the whole Citadel episode was: what was the point? I thought it was among the weakest of the episodes. I suppose it was meant to humanize Francis but at that point, I couldn't give a shit. He is a 100% heel. He does not need humanizing. I am not rooting for him.
Jessica,
I see your point, but I was also thinking that there was not a lot I wanted to discuss about HoC as I was seeing it. There was the awful "daddy" sexual moment of course (but I want to forget that as soon as possible) and the wild inaccuracies regarding politics and unions, and Francis' crazy ass performance on CNN.
But beyond that, I don't know if the show merits the kind of deep discussion I might have with other programs. The other thing complicating all of this is that I've seen the original HoC, so I think I know the end goal a bit better than someone who hasn't seen the original so one of the major events that happened, I knew it was coming.
Hot damn, House of Lies. It's always been difficult to watch, for a nominal comedy, but the sex toy part (and Seth Cohen PORN KING) was by far the easiest part of the episode to make eye contact with. All the actors playing the Kaan family are on major fire.
And I actually went back to find out who wrote it too....and he writes for New Girl too.
You never can tell. Well, I can't, anyway.

The show is wonderfully fucked up.

That blows my mind a little.
Yeah, sometimes I wonder about writers who switch gears that much. Some of the writers who worked on Andy Griffith wrote for M*A*S*H.
Love the opening POV of the new GoT promo.
Oh, good god. This episode of House of Lies is
so
Mottsy that I have freeze-framed at the Doug Hug Emporium. I don't know if I can handle more, BUT IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT I KNOW NOW:
Can you really seduce a guy by fingering yourself and then waving your hand in his face? Is that why I'm single?
Game of Thrones Season 3 premieres tonight! And, it turns out HBO is doing a promotional weekend, so if you don't normally get HBO, it might be accessible this weekend.
