  1. Lagom is like yin and yang. This is another new one.
  2. To the boys of Blackwater. They won against all odds.
  3. It's impossible for Will to escape politics. I don't see how this Quebec move can go unnoticed.

    Another advantage of Remy coming is he will understand Eli becoming close to Lucien. Did they quarantine Remy like they have Eli?
  5. It was wise to document it so well. Yet there are still those who deny it happened. And there is real danger of it happening again.

    Mastermind? No. Oldest Leclaire? Yes. Knows Lucien best? Other than Eli, yes. Remy's arrival does make him an alternative target rather than Adrian.
  7. Some of it has been a tough read, but these characters are wonderful.
  8. One can imagine Cameron's panic when he finds those items missing, and his sheer impotence in not being able to find them. This is so satisfying.

    Lucien's desire to be outside the cage and with Eli made him careless. The Vespers inner circle are showing real fear at Lucien being out. So there was some security. They simply got complacent and never checked the camera feeds. I guess Eli is doing the only thing he can to carry on with the plan, staying close to the Vespers. What would they have done if he hadn't agreed to stay at the Vesper House. He knows roo much.
  10. Miller is magnificent and made of harder stuff than he shows. For a country not far removed from a war of survival, exposing someone directly using Nazi experiments from the death camps would be a bombshell. I'd say you can stick a fork in Cameron, he's done.
  11. Explaining how things really work without sounding like a pedagogue can be challenging.
  12. Dufresne must be laughing his ass off at sending out Will to shill this crap like a patent medicine barker. Will sees the wreckage ahead and resolves to drive into it and strive to survive in order to rebuild later. It's sacrificing today for tomorrow. Most politicians would jump on the Dufresne train, but Will is deeply ethical.

    This reminds me of the best TV ad ever.

    Chapter 1

    Learn from experience. Hollis was lucky the experiences weren't hisc own. In the end Arthur did leave someone behind to remember him.
  16. As an aside, I met Fletcher's parents. They were both deaf. Her father was an Episcopal minister. They were lovely people. When Louise won the Academy Award she also gave her acceptance speech in sign language.
  17. There are still some who didn't know get or choose to ignore the update.
  18. Homosexuality was officially classified as a mental disorder in 1952 in the DSM and wasn't removed until 1974.

    The Name

    Knowing the true name of someone or a deity is traditionally a way to have power over them. It's in the Bible. One cannot know the true name of God. Lucien has shown Eli his full trust by telling him his true name. The question even Lucien doesn't know is how the founding Vespers learned it.
  20. Looks like Nurse Rat Shed. As played by Louise Fletcher.
  21. The ones who won't accept defeat as an option.
  22. Singer songwriter Lou Reed was subjected to electroshock as a teenager.
  23. A grain of sand isn't just a grain of sand. Each has its own quiddity.
  24. We see the shadows forming telling how and why Tommy ends up adopted by Will and Andrew.
  25. Jacob and Tommy have their first play date which they will never remember. And Peter realizes he's all grown up.
