How awesome is this guy? In the bathroom with Aceveda, devastated and furious at the same time, but most of all while he was leaving Kav's house.<BR/><BR/>At that moment, Mackey seemed one step from completely losing it. He seemed almost detached, not really sure what he was doing there or what he was going to do next. If there was a way to portray fierce calmness, the Chick just nailed it. What an awesome actor.<BR/><BR/>Something else that struck while watching the episode was that, worse than dying ot being fired or going to jail for the murder of Reed Diamond or the Armenian thing, the worst thing of all would be for Vic to end up in jail for the one crime he didn't (and wouldn't ever) commit. The murder of Lem. Yikes.<BR/><BR/>A perfect premiere all around. I got chills before the credits even rolled, dammit. "Your 21, buddy". Hands down, best thing on TV right now. Or, for the last two years, actually.dark tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461345493748899275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-76012419414197615312007-04-04T18:36:00.000-04:002007-04-04T18:36:00.000-04:00Since I'm lazy: Kavanaugh mentioned Mackey losing...Since I'm lazy:<BR/><BR/> Kavanaugh mentioned Mackey losing two members in two years. What about Tavon? When we last heard about him, was he still in the hospital? Did he lose his memory? I can't remember how exactly he left the show.<BR/><BR/>AnonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-30693347163889712732007-04-04T15:03:00.000-04:002007-04-04T15:03:00.000-04:00The autism warning, the way she played it, it star...The autism warning, the way she played it, it started off as an attack, but by the time she left she was more sad than angry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-63278417325769797452007-04-04T10:24:00.000-04:002007-04-04T10:24:00.000-04:00The Shane arc was very well done, but my favorite ...The Shane arc was very well done, but my favorite moment was Vic confronting Kavanaugh. Just a perfect example of what makes the show compelling viewing, I hope you know the rules followed by the nice opening move of Kavanaugh to tell Vic to stay away from his house and then go plant the evidence. Two years ago Vic had enough pull in the department to call people to confirm that threat, now he is on his own and is much more vulenerable. <BR/><BR/>I agree that the autism comment was just mean. <BR/><BR/>I will say that this constant threat to shut down the barn seems hollow, as disfunctional as this place has been, why would you want to save it? I think they need to show the barn doing more good for Farmington to justify the storyline of the brass doesn't care and they are going to shut us down.rukrusherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005928545753221172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-17890409565352221592007-04-04T09:12:00.000-04:002007-04-04T09:12:00.000-04:00Great as always, but now we have to suffer through...Great as always, but now we have to suffer through the episode or three where the characters catch up to us and discover what we already know: Kav planted the evidence. That's part of the problem with an open story. But, these characters and actors are so good that it is not bad to watch them catch up to us. (I'm glad Dutch saw through Kav so quickly.).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-41847214280684992802007-04-04T03:25:00.000-04:002007-04-04T03:25:00.000-04:00Per jim treacher: "I was... impressed by how much...Per jim treacher: "I was... impressed by how much weight Kavanaugh lost in a 'week.'"<BR/><BR/>Hey, that's nothing cpmpared to the 17 inches taller that Bobby's and J.R.'s sons grew OVERNIGHT when Pam woke up from her dream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-69174842094982876212007-04-04T02:19:00.000-04:002007-04-04T02:19:00.000-04:00Hate burns him up, yo.As ever, brutal, nasty, inte...Hate burns him up, yo.<BR/><BR/>As ever, brutal, nasty, intelligent and crazy.cgeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760705749940311464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-23639131750207245472007-04-04T01:41:00.000-04:002007-04-04T01:41:00.000-04:00Kavanaugh didn't strike me as all that much thinne...Kavanaugh didn't strike me as all that much thinner than he was near the end of season 5, since he was becoming increasingly thinner throughout the the fifthe season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-39822027220908517452007-04-04T00:31:00.000-04:002007-04-04T00:31:00.000-04:00I was underwhelmed, but impressed by how much weig...I was underwhelmed, but impressed by how much weight Kavanaugh lost in a "week."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-86335826216157431542007-04-03T23:12:00.000-04:002007-04-03T23:12:00.000-04:00Excellent episode, Mackey is all balls.
