I'll try to be more substantive later, but I have to say this now because it will make me feel better. My God, Stahl is useless.

I feel better now.

And that rave scene was so painful. They are godawful undercover.

Episode 11. I really liked this episode. I don't know why because it was mostly about things I don't understand, but it didn't seem to matter, I just liked the darn show. We have something else that they have to delve into in the next two episodes. I did like the stories that John was telling about Detective Paul and his surgeries and illnesses. LOL Each one got a little worse. He's a devil, isn't he? John, I mean. I liked Dorian a lot in this episode. There were so many things happening that I'm going to have to watch it again to see what all went on. I thought it was sort of sweet when he asked Rudy for his files from when Rudy talked to him while he was out of commission. I think they should have used Rudy for the undercover job because Stahl was flat as usual and boring. At least with Rudy you get some personality with the character. Now, off to watch it again, so I can see what I missed. What did everyone else think of this episode? There was something that John ignored that bothered me this time, but it might be

Geez, this show just keeps getting better and better. Nice to see Dorian now living with Rudy and being upset when Rudy invades his 'privacy'. What was that about oddly clad women? ::bad Rudy!:: Dorian can tell Rudy isn't being entirely straight with him, hence the 'you don't need to keep things from me' conversation -- Rudy's not good at hiding how worried he is. Glad he shared the worry with John. Also glad that John's willing to keep it quiet until Rudy can figure it out, but they really should tell Dorian. He won't like being kept in the dark

I wish I could have your optimism and charitable interpretation of Stahl, but IMO, Minka Kelly has thus far proven herself utterly incapable of being anything but doe-eyed and dumb and ineffectually worried about Kennex. And I didn't find her particularly tactful with Mrs. Kazden. Her shift from sympathetic to brisk was rather cack-handed and abrupt. Surely there were other actresses who could've handled this role more adroitly. Sometimes being young and attractive isn't enough.

Hello, mod here--just a quick reminder that while we encourage discussion of the characters and their development and relationship, we try to avoid the more unfavourable personal remarks about the actors who play them because however well intentioned, they can veer into wank territory.

We appreciate your contribution to keeping the discussion lively and hope you understand the desire to keep our little comm as wank-free as possible.

I overall liked the episode. It left us with some very intriguing questions
