Al Swearengen is that deal. I didn't realize he was Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda. He plays the hell out this role. I get pissed every time he's not on camera.

Calamity Jane grew on me. She's fine, I guess.

You guys watch the newest episode yet?













So Jaime did it? I have to believe there will be yet another twist during the last episode. Kinda strange if the killer ultimately turns out to be him...

I like the Jamie and/or Gwen twist. Yes it almost has to end with one last twist but I thought this weeks setup to the finale was as good an episode as they've had.

Any guesses at who the old guy was at the end?

pants wrote: Yeah, it was definitely a solid episode, I agree. I could see the show ending with them two both being in on it together. That's something I never would have guessed before the last few episodes.

The old guy at the end of the preview for next week? Or was there an old guy at the end of the actual episode I'm not remembering?

I didn't watch the preview. The episode ended with Darrin at an old guys house and then Jamie showing up all pissed off and in tough guy mode. As far as I know that whole situation is a mystery to us.

Given that Mad Men ended this week, I'm guessing The Killing will get 2 hours to wrap it up.

pants wrote: Oh yeah, duh. The old guy said something to Richmond about Richmond finally "meeting the guy he had been talking about"... Or something? Clearly the guy must be part of the coverup? I guess it wouldn't surprise me if it's a random twist not connected to Rosie.

The Killing is still only an hour next week. (I checked the guide.)

The old guy was Jamie's dad

Have we seen him before?

Even I know this one! Holder just talked about Jamie living with his dad in the basement, because he was Jamie's alibi.

I hope Mitch and Terry get in a fight in the finale. Mitch deserves to get shut out by her family. Stan deserves all the p*ssy he wants, from either sister!

Duh. They popped by his house didn't they.

Mitch. That trick. At least we were treated to Stan finally giving it to her. That was the only good scene she has ever been a part of.

Yeah I was glad both of them laced into Mitch. Definitely a satisfying moment. I liked kind-of-hot-if-she-tried-harder Terry's use of the term "some vision quest."

Haven't seen Jamie's dad before I don't think.

I am hoping there is some explained, bigger rationale here and it isn't just Jamie being some sociopath. That would be a particularly weak/unbelievable ending to it. Even the fact that Richmond's campaign supervisors are potentially the killers leading into the last episode is pretty weak if you ask me. They are just nerdy workaholics. Not enough about them to make you hate them. I'm guessing it was psycho Indian Chief woman.

I loved that as well. Perfect dig.

pants wrote: Oh yeah, his dad... duh. I totally should have thought of that. Good lookin out DFS.

Mitch is the worst. It would be absolutely ridiculous if she was the killer, but it would also be awesome because then they could lock her up forever and we'd never have to hear from her ever again.

WallyWorld wrote: Definitely agree 100%. I am thinking there will be more to the ending, as it seems like damn near every episode has some sort of twist to it. So there's no way they wouldn't during the last one. I also am not entirely sure that Jaime/Gwen did it. Doesn't really make sense, you know? I like the call on the psycho Indian Chief... that's a good one. The campaign peeps could have had a hand in it or whatever, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else (Indian Chief) actually killed Rosie.

Or if not and Jaime did do it, maybe we'll find out that Jaime has some dark, sordid, past and he's really like a serial rapist/murderer or something. Then it would make a lot more sense.
