Well, she knew that they had nothing, so this was the only way that they could get anything on her.

It was a hell of a beating to take. I'm not surprised Clea's character just sat there, though. She was well cowed.

I'm a bit surprised they were so behind Ricky even after they found out about the felony rape thing. I know the woman said it was love, but it was still a big lapse of judgment.

you mean because he told that chick that they had a connection?

I don't think he had to be honest with her, but what he really didn't have to do was make a date.

I am judgey mcjudgerson.

Oh, and who is this new Neely? She really doesn't seem like the same girl who was involved with the anti-government ring at the beginning of the season.

However, I am not a fan of cliffhanger endings.

I just read an article with the ex-showrunner and the USA executive. It seems that the "finale" was actually part 1 of 2 but they elected not to air it. I dunno if they plan to air it when the show comes back. (Though given the new direction USA wants, I think probably not.)

what do you mean the new direction USA wants?

Just found this, le nub: [link]

I agree with letting Jinx become a recurring member, but I'm going to miss Bobby D. And I hope they keep Joshua Malina, because he's wonderful in the role and a great non-combative foil for Mary who doesn't have a personal relationship at stake with her.

Please, no Mad Men spoilers! I edited.

Sorry, Jon-- I didn't think that was so much a spoiler, since it had appeared in a general large market review.

Casting spoilers like that one usually go in Spoilage Lite.

If the New York Times publishes plot or casting info before airing, it's still a spoiler.

This wasn't a big one, so no worries, but I wanted to make sure nothing else was posted before Sunday night.
