The Killing tries to win back viewers by telling them exactly which episode the killer will be revealed.
And we live to fight another day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

oh that's hilarious.
IIRC, in the original series, it was a bit earlier than AMC plans.

That's really desperate of them.
Suits is coming back in June. . .but they're repeating season 1 - but I can't recall which night it's on.

Ok, so I'm not sitting in Justified Special Hell all alone, did anyone else besides me, when Raylan hands Loretta(Who's incredibly awesome, btw, and yet I absolutely identify with her, too.) his card with instructions to call "Day or night" feel slightly jealous? Not enough to get in a trunk of course. In re The Killing, I seem to recall that wasn't the only thing that pissed off the critics.It was more that someone in charge considered(Metaphorically) jerking off for so many episodes to be the same as providing a plot twist.

All of a sudden not loving having Quarles to hate. 2-dimensional villain pure evil with a tragic past. Rapist, kid killer/serial killer, general murderer, drug user now with nothing to lose -just wants to take down Raylan before he dies. Mags was damned evil, but she was human and I believed her. I know longer believe Quarles. He is being a father to his victims. Great actor, but the writing just snapped my suspension of disbelief, in a way that even Mags (grotesque as she was) did not.

More cheerfully, Raylan really really likes a blonde who is good with a gun.

Mags was the only Big Bad that Raylan didn't kill, right? And she as the only one with a lot of grey area. I think that the show likes its villains one dimensional. They tried that with Boyd, but the actor gave too nuanced a performance, so they tried to redeem him slightly.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Thing is: after the guy had strapped a young man to his bed and was torturing/beating him, I didn't think there was a lot of nuance left. the bwahaha factor increased a bit in last night's ep, but he wasn't "good" really. They were trying to sketch out his motivation for killing and torturing. Nice to know, but he has always been creepy.

Yeah, he is, was and will be creepy.

I think Quarles is intended as counterpoint for Limehouse, who may be a stone killer, but pretty much for practical reasons. If he's out to scare someone, it's usually because it's in his best interests to keep people scared of him.
I also love the way he also plays off Wynn Duffy who seemed like such a sick puppy in his first set of appearences, but now is clearly in over his head.
