shapeshifter

I hope it didn't give you an actual headache, because that is a wonderfully comprehensible explanation. More, please. For me, it would be easier to just use Dead Kiera and Live Kiera--so long as we don't have a 3rd Kiera to deal with.

I've compared and contrasted Lester Nygaard and Walter White in my mind and thought about them separately, and I just don't see in pre-Malvo Lester the germ of arrogance and need for power that we saw in Walter White, the high school teacher. If they decide to let Lester and the story live for another season, I would want to start a Lester Nygaard In Comparison to Walter White thread. But since there's just one episode left...

The CBS Saturday morning pseudo-news show just had a piece on new summer shows that included this one. They had brief, canned interviews with some of the principles. They managed to convince me it might be worth checking out.

Are you questioning why he wouldn't have bought her a ticket too? I'm not sure he didn't, but if he didn't, we saw in the hotel in Vegas that he intended to cheat on her with one of the women in the lobby (before he saw Malvo).

When Lorne said no good can ever come from cherry pie, I figured it was a breaking of the fourth wall to say to the audience: This show is not your mother's Twin Peaks. Molly's dad, Keith Carradine, is the only one to really be able to stand up to Lorne Malvo. If he dies, I predict it will count for something rather than just being collateral damage. He might not only have seen Molly's murder board and have recognized Malvo, but he might have had his own murder board in 1974 with a younger Malvo on it, and, like Gus, have chosen to keep his daughter safe rather than pursue and capture him. I see Malvo as a personification of the Devil and Lester as an example of how any of us has the potential for evil. Back in the hospital waiting room, Malvo tricked Lester into selling his soul to the devil. I don't see Lester's transformation as realistic, because I don't see people really changing. Although I've never met any quite as evil as Malvo, he actually seems more plausible as a character. In my job, the observations of myself and others who are low on the totem pole are often disregarded like Molly's. I see this as a world wide problem since the beginning of time. It will be nice to see the vindication of the wisdom of those without power. The irony is that Malvo has consistently murdered/punished those who wield their power over others. Back in the Pilot, Vern told Molly she would be the new Chief, not Bill, because, IIRC, Bill "cleans his gun with baby shampoo" or maybe it was "bubble bath." I'm guessing the "lost boy" he found was really something like a kidnapper of lost boys who took the identity of the one they were planning to adopt, and that he might kill Bill in his sleep or something.* If so, I'm not sure why the writers would use this vehicle to "punish" Bill for his hubris rather than having him become another victim of Malvo. *On second thought, it seems more likely that Malvo, who has always acted as if it is only right to murder those who have power over others and use that power to make others suffer, will be murdered by the "Lost Boy" former child soldier, perhaps to defend/protect Bill from Malvo.

Martin Freeman's delivery of Lester's acceptance speech was my favorite line in this episode. Okay. One more episode, and then I'm all caught up for the finale.

I'm not seeing that on the FX schedule page. Where'd you see that?

I didn't think the writers wanted us to feel that way; Kane announces to everyone that he will be the sacrificial lamb, and then they show him slowly stopping to clasp everyone's hands as he goes off to be a martyr, but, in contrast, Jaha just does it. To continue the scriptural references: Jaha does not pray in the marketplace where others will see how pious he is; he does it in private.So Jaha is back with the same bottle he was about to open the last time he thought he was going to die, but that time turned on the video and got an inspiration. If something similar happens again, it will be kind of comical, whether intended or not. Still, I hope it does, but doubt it will, since he twice said he was going to see his son.

I'm just catching up on this show now. The Moses thing was BBT laying a plague on the supermarket king guy. He changed water into blood. That's why he was reading exodus.I didn't make that connection. Did he read as far as the plagues? I thought it meant that Malvo sees himself as Moses, who sees an Egyptian overlord beating his worker, so when nobody's looking, Moses/Malvo kills the overlord. For example, Malvo was probably ready to kill the blackmailer if he had been more powerful and violent that the blackmailee. But then, after asking his questions in the Smallest Closet, he decided the yoga teacher was not the one who deserved to be punished.The title to this episode, "The Muddy Road," is spoken by Molly in reference to the recent killings, but it is also a reference to this Zen koan. If there's a metaphor for this koan, I'm missing it.

@Izeinwinter, that's what I thought too until I read Alex's recap: http://previously.tv/the-100/the-100-finale-carries-our-sexy-teens-kicking-and-screaming-to-a-place-theyve-avoided-all-season/ And then I recalled it had a lot of texture and an ornate frame, right? Or not?

IMDb attributes this to Futon Critic: But Futon Critic has

I didn't catch that. I did love that after the Alphas made their exit with his hand on her waist, Vega reminded Angie that he'd remarked earlier about Cross's nice suit(s); Vega's spidey/detective senses had figured Cross was dressed to impress a woman. So Cross said Angie and Vega had been partners 5 years and that is "an intimate" relationship. I get that Angie might have learned a bitter lesson about being romantically involved with her partner, but it seems Louis Ferreira has been wearing quite a few nice suits himself. I guess I'm the only one on this Eureka-less board that noticed two weeks in a row the murderers were Eureka alums.

The Van Gogh in the room with a wild kid.

Maybe the question should be: Who was not a Dr. Jackson fanboy/girl? Even though RDA was my fake boyfriend through Moebius, Daniel always had the most heart. It just occurred to me that the character of Finn on The 100 is probably supposed to be a less educated, teen version of Daniel. They are both all about the ethical thing to do.

@beedub, "deja do" is perfect in my book. If he's not really a boyfriend anymore, maybe the thread title should be changed to: Paul Dierden: Deja Do

I think OP's surprise was at the resources to transport it. Maybe it's a clue that the Ben Linus (Lost reference) of Mt. Weather is into preserving culture more than the lives of the Grounders, Reapers, et al. Anyway, Mt. Weather, VA is about 300 miles or 483 kilometers from NYC. I don't know about OP, but I keep forgetting they're not on Vancouver Island, which would be a bigger feat to transport a Van Gogh in the middle of the end of the world.

"Mt. Weather beds." Hee I totally didn't get that it was the frackin original Starry Night. I wonder if Monty got the Mona Lisa in his room, or if it was destroyed in the apocalypse. @In2You, you forgot to mention the really pretty boy that Octavia seduced when he was supposed to be babysitting her for Bellamy. I don't recall how he died, but I think it involve the wrath of Bellamy. The brother sister farewell scene in the finale was the first decent sibling scene that I can recall.

I remember those. One of my daughters had them at the time. Rats! I didn't realize their true potential. But that explains how my daughter was able to sneak out and do stuff without me noticing. ;-)

Not obvious, but:At the top of the main Forums page, under Info > Site Business > Suggestions is a thread, "Sort Shows by Genre?" In that thread is a link to a page by Show Forums by Genre that mod Dougal has created: http://forums.previously.tv/topic/7834-show-forums-by-genre/ You can "Follow" it, which I just did. When you click on the My Shows link, it will not show by default; you have to click on the left of the page the Topics link, which will hide all the Forums, so don't forget how to click Forums there to get back to that view. I am now going to post in that Suggestions thread to ask if there's a way to have forums on that page with new posts be bolded. It won't be quite like TWoP, but maybe even better. ETA: Not technologically possible.

I didn't, but that was probably because I didn't see how Sean from Psych's dad could be a bad guy, especially since he was beloved by a good guy main character here. Plus, I was very confused about the murderer not being the wife of the guy at the meth party where a kid was shot. I really want an epilogue for this one on how her murder trial goes. Angie states that because the doer had repositioned the camera 13 hours before the murder, it is premeditated. But that was after she saw her innocent husband being wheeled away on a prison gurney after being fatally stabbed, right? Or not? If so, could a lawyer get an insanity plea, saying she was in a fugue state? I can't really explain it, but that made sense to me, and I liked that she called him on it. So both last week and this week the killers were main characters from Eureka. Next week has two bit part Eureka alums too. It's nice they are getting work.

What encounter? I either missed that or don't recall. I'm now remembering at the last moment of the Grounders at the Gates before the rockets went off that Finn gave Bellamy a knowing look, so I'm guessing that at the beginning of next season, after the pink smoke clears and the Mountain Men have carted the 47 off to Mt. Weather, that Finn and Bellamy will pop up out of tunnels like gophers. Assuming Murphy survives, how will this effect his sociopathic personality?

So if he invokes the name of two shows that are famous for regularly killing off character (I know that and I don't even watch either of them), that could mean next season will be more like The 50.

I took a handful of handwavium at that point and then enjoyed the rest of the episode...until I got Lost flashbacks when the Not!Others/Weathermen showed up. So Bellamy is toast, right?
