Judging by the way time travel is portrayed, I'd say what David is attempting is actually impossible. It looks like Switch isn't physically going anywhere, more like she's rewinding her own timeline, and landing at a previous point in her own body. By that logic, David shouldn't be able to go anywhere unless he opens his own doorway. If he were to somehow enter Switch's timeline, if he exited it, he'd wind up in her body.

Is anybody else concerned that the show seems to have been reduced to reusing the same three sets over and over again? Those corridors have been redressed about a dozen times, to little effect - it all looks the same.

That last scene brings up an odd question. I'm not sure if we knew before just how close Tuan's house is to Pasha's, but that walk makes it look like there's an FBI surveillance car parked about a block away from Tuan's place, and Phillip and Elizabeth are fully aware of it. Isn't that a bit risky for a team of Soviet spies to set up shop within shouting distance of the very people whose job it is to watch for Soviet spies?

The show's unclear timeline isn't being helped by the writers getting real world events wrong. They were watching the Olympics (1984) in episode 1, and now in episode 3, they're watching MASH, which went off the air in 1983. I mean, I suppose it could be a repeat, but still . . .

The last few seconds of the episode show how the show has changed: if Jack Bauer needed a terrorist's thumbprint on a computer, he'd cut off the thumb and bring it to the computer instead of the other way around.

It's starting to look less and less like William and the MiB are the same person. We already know Ford's storyline takes place at the same time as the MiB's. And we just saw the buried town in William's storyline that Ford is getting ready to dig up in his. So either the town was buried very early in the park's existence, or the two storylines are concurrent.

I also find it interesting that people are more outraged that someone made a joke about rape than that someone allegedly raped a bunch of women.

If you break down what Kurt said (aside from the extremely blunt way he said it) all it amounts to is "Why are we persecuting someone based on anonymous allegations without any evidence? Why are these allegations being made to comedy club owners rather than the police?" These are valid questions, but because Kurt is a comic with a fairly caustic sense of humor, he raises them in what some people see as an offensive way. Anyway, this is already on its way to being forgotten and replaced by outrage over a misplaced skyscraper on a movie poster.

"Wilmore thanked . . . everyone who watched the program." He could've done that one-by-one and in person and still not missed a day of work.

Did anyone else get a distinct Others vibe from the hippie-Neo camp? I picked up on it when Cosima asked if there were other people on the island, and Charlotte said she was supposed to stay away from them. And by the end of the episode - assuming our mystery hippie is Westmoreland - she is in fact being tended to in a camp run by Neolution's Richard Alpert - the ageless leader and originator of the cult.

Re: the Mountain vs that Faith Militant sucker . . . did anybody else's mind jump immediately to:

With the re-introduction of the Brotherhood, it seems likely that the Hound will take Brienne's storyline from the books, and we'll finally get Lady Stoneheart by the end of the season.

Everything is made of wood, and everything is lit by fire. I'm amazed this doesn't happen every week.

I just worry what this means for his adaptation of American Gods. As brilliant as Fuller is, does he have it in him to run two very different high-profile shows at once?

Did the ending of that episode strike anybody else as really clunky? In the space of 5 minutes, we had three scenes of people telling someone else the same big news. Scene 1: Prosecutor barges in & tells Harvey that Sheila came forward. Scene 2: Donna barges in & tells Louis that Sheila came forward. Scene 3: Harvey barges in & tells Mike that Sheila came forward. And the last one is presented as if it's some sort of big shock ending. WTF was that?
