it was bad; it might have been Latin.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
FWIW, I found that Copper picked up dramatically by the end of the 2nd ep. I was surprised the channel didn't air it as a 2-parter, to be honest.
(Disclaimer, I am obviously not an unbiased 3rd party here, but please, please give Copper another chance so that it will become a huge hit and we can all move on and forget that "The Week The Women Went" ever happened, k? Because seriously, that shit is just embarrassing.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Really? I liked Copper. I am pretty easy when it comes to period drama, though. I got even more interested after I watched the little "making-of" special, because I am interested to see where they go.

I liked Copper too. And was wondering if erika was watching given the Homicide connection.

I don't think I get that channel. But I've read about it. Levinson &Fontana, right?

Copper: I am so much happier with the second episode! I have a weakness for shady real estate shenanigans, and everything that happened at the contessa's completely surprised me. That was a helluva plan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
By the end of the first ep of Copper I was impressed by how much I'd remembered, because it was damned boring and I was hugely distracted.
Now, watching the second ep, I see I should have been less smug, because nothing seems to apply anymore. Totally confused.
Big Bad--whoah. God, Walter, seriously.
If you were going to put your finger on a point in his arc where it was clear that he isn't just a good man caught up in a difficult position, where would you say? I'd have expected, if I were predicting, that it would hinge on his attitude to potential customers, and the idea of people ruining their lives with his drugs.
Did we have that moment, and I didn't remember it? Its absence is very telling, if my memory is not just failing me.
Clearly, at this end of everything he's an emotionally abusive (on a number of fronts) megalomaniac. This is the part where you start throwing around diagnoses of narcissistic personality disorder or sociopath with IANAP TV accuracy, but he's clearly way over the line.
