Where are those cars? I want to know.

I’m not Billy, or John, or Lori or Ryan. I don’t need to think about what I,personally, would do to think about the realism of their motivations and behaviors. I just need to think about whether it feels right that any human would think or behave that way—a human being with other characteristics that these people have. And, I’m having trouble buying it-how evil someone would be to blame his brother for something his son did and also try to kill his brother. Especially considering that there’d be fewer consequences for his son.

I’m unhappy about the plane explosion and how that did or will fit in with anything else. And, how much does that poor plane have to endure? It disappears. It reappears. It explodes. Then, pieces of it are getting gunky in the ocean.

Grace is a psychologist. Someone here called her a psychiatrist. Grace is not an MD. I’ve read a couple references to “Ryan Murphy.” Who is he and what does he have to do with anything?

Franklin should have said “psychopathic” rather than “psychotic.” I’m trying to decide if this was clever writing or poor writing. Yes, people confuse these terms often (clever writing) but Grace is a psychologist and one might think that her dad would have picked up a few things over dinner and also he’s well educated (poor writing.)

When did scum-cakes tell his wife about Cleveland? It was at the auction or on the way in the car? Or, do we even know when the plan was first mentioned? Could it have been weeks ago? I’m struggling with the idea that he sets up a fake trip story to his wife, then goes planfully and brutally kills someone, and then what? If he was the murderer how would a fake trip help his case? He’d have to know people would find out there was no conference. A fake trip/fake conference is no alibi. It only works (if he’s the murderer) if the fake trip plan was not related to anything to do with Elena. But, he kills her in a spontaneous rage and then runs in panic, forgetting his fake trip . Leaving phone? Also, unrelated? But, very confusing. Most people, of his ilk, would be checking texts as they walk out the door. How did he not turn around in minutes, noticing it missing? I’m obsessed with the fake conference, fake trip part. I’m mostly obsessed that nothing is being said about it with Grace and the cops, like “Ah, after the murder, your murdering husband did not go on his fake trip to a fake conference but instead claims he did a fake panic run when he saw Elena dead. We think it’s all fake fake fake and don’t care about the fake cleveland trip story. We just care about the faked panic run.” I think Kidman is amazing! I’m not faking. I really do love how she’s acting in this role.

I’m a grumpy viewer until the fake, planned before the murder, Cleveland trip is explained.

Did Grace and Elena not have a sexual encounter or affair? I guess I missed something because I just assumed that to be the case.

I’ve not once, not for one second, thought about or noticed anything “frozen” about Kidman’s face. I have thought about daddy’s money and how telling daughter he gave it to husband would have affected whether or not there was a murder.

I'm always barefoot.

Since when can our government just grab people with no charges against them and keep them somewhere, while inspecting their orifices? I don’t think that would happen. I think that scenario is the unrealistic one.

How could Marin and Heather’s dad produce a child who looks like Julian? Heather and Marin, maybe. That seems unlikely, however.

The detective having a daughter and grandchild is driving me crazy. I have no recollection, in the entire first season, of these being mentioned. Were they? Or did we go through all that stuff with his wife, without the progeny ever being discussed? I recall a vague reference to an apparent tragedy. I thought detective and Mrs detective lost a child. I am surprised by the idea that a child, who is most likely a murderer, would be placed in a non-lockup facility, a “foster home.” How do they possibly know that he won’t try to off everyone?

I did not get at all that it was going to be a Bill Kill. I thought the story was going to be focused on Bill and Eve and so we were just getting to know him.

I didn’t think the bad hospital guarding of Dante was such silly writing. They had guarding around the ER rather than in front of his specific spot. The medical staff probably does not watch Homeland and neither they nor the guards could have possibly imagined that someone would shoot someone to break into the ER. I didn’t think of it and I’ve been watching that guy.
