I can't imagine living his life but I have to believe that even a tiny bit of comfort would be hard to give up. <br /><br />That said, I believe Karen is the one he truly wants.

My jaw dropped to the floor ...What a great episode. My jaw dropped to the floor with that final scene. I thought it was Madani's mother, but no, it was sadistic Billy. What he does to his mom is unbelievably evil.<br /><br />I liked Sam so much, I wanted to see more of his friendship with Madani. But, yeah, the moment it came down to him against Billy, he was a dead man walking.<br /><br />Sera, I agree that Frank does feel something for Sarah, but he respects Micro a lot and wouldn't hurt him like that. <br /><br />Billy: “We gotta be careful. We’re in danger of having a real conversation here.”<br /><br />This particular quote immediately reminded me of a similar thing Spike told Buffy in "Dead Things".<br /><br /><i>We will not discuss how well-endowed Micro may or may not be but considering Frank had him tied naked to a chair a few episodes ago – he already knew.</i><br /><br />LOL.

He may not have reciprocated, but he wasn't quick to pull back either. <br />Although I really really want him with Karen as well :)Seranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-41812975941200701022017-12-03T12:31:02.174-05:002017-12-03T12:31:02.174-05:00Ahhh.

They've been set...Wow, this episode was good. <br /><br />They've been setting up the Frank/Sarah/Micro love triangle all season, and I'm glad that it was resolved in a refreshingly mature way. (And not just because I really want Frank to be with Karen when this is all said and done.) It was so sad that the moment Micro was ready to return to his family, he couldn't. Frank was right. It would get them killed. <br /><br />I almost feel bad now for calling Billy pretty in almost all of my comments. Wow. He is just so fascinating to me. I loved the scene of him and Rawlins. Billy has a considerable height advantage over him, but Rawlins has the power in the relationship. Or does he? When Billy said that he wasn't afraid to go up against anyone, I wonder if that included Rawlins as well.

He isn't just evil -- he's cruel, and terrorizes his own mother for pleasure and revenge. Such a focus on how pretty he is on the outside when he's so ugly on the inside. And Sam's death at Billy's hands was just awful. It was so obvious that Sam was trying to tell Dinah who had killed him, but couldn't get it out. Even more awful that Dinah went to Billy for comfort when she was in shock over Sam's death.<br /><br />As I said previously and I think everyone by now agrees, :) Frank and David's relationship is the high point of this series for me and I loved them getting drunk and telling each other about how they met their wives. Sarah making a pass at Frank was something that had to happen, since as you said, Shari, Frank has been outright acting as a husband surrogate. They were even sort of mature about it all, right up until David took off his pants. :) LOL. I liked that Frank got through to Zach, too.<br /><br />Excellent review of an excellent episode, Shari.

I think Billy's...Personally, I agree with you. I think Billy's betrayal of Madani is even more personal than his betrayal of Frank. But he's the title character so I don't know if it'll play out that way. The only way I can see it play out that way is if, and this is a really big if, Billy were to try to come clean with Frank and work to bring Rawlins down and then Madani finds out and kills him. She gets payback and Billy is somewhat redeemed. <br /><br />I guess I'll find out soon.

Bring Rawlins to justice and arrest him, but Billy is a sure kill at the end of the series.<br /><br />Lots of great interactions, I was a bit suprised that the episode did not open on an escape scene after the failed assasination of Agent Orange.Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.com
