Being a specialist in maritime law, I would have thought Marty would be able to handle it himself.
"Take to the sea!"
I read his law blog.
Wendy's "I am the one who knocks" moment...
Did you ever see Mystic River? Laura Linney is great playing tough and determined.
But oh so much had been gained
I grew tired of him this season. He was too aggressive and too full of bluster. Compared to some of the more nuanced characters, he was decidedly one-note.

Darlene was a real spitfire when she was younger! She turned sour over time, but I can easily see why she appealed to Mr. Snell when he was a young veteran just arriving home.
Marty's approach -- handing over everything and bailing -- seems poorly thought-out and just generally doomed.
cartel employs some stormtroopers, i see
I thought they were goners at the end of the last episode. I thought E9 was going to be all about the aftermath (the power vacuum, especially).

A copy of the book Charlotte tossed out the window, estimated $3,000!

That antiquarian really needed better security!
This actor who played Amos the drug dealer guy gave one of the worst performances in a good show that I've seen in a long time
He really was totally lost, just gasping for air in that scene. Sorry.

From not knowing there's money in the banana stand to full on evil villain.
He's sliding towards "supervillain" status quite quickly.
Mason's response to his son was heartbreaking. It showed just how far from reality he had drifted.

Ok so FBI somehow didn’t find the passport and bank documents in Jonah’s bag? O K A Y
Boy, you don't even need to be smart to realize that Jonah didn't keep that bag in the house. He didn't even keep the money in the house like his sister did, you think he'll keep the bag? He already opened off shore accounts and stored the money, keeping everything untraceable. He definitely has some stash place where he keeps things, so the bag wasn't in the house at that time
You should know by now that Jonah is smarter than he looks, and inherited his father's smartness, also some toughness from Buddy. Marty didn't survive all this long by being a killer or some tough guy, he survived by being smart. Jonah is following that route, and he's trying to be a step ahead of everything. I mean, Jonah was seen hunting and gutting birds, animals etc, way back in Season 1, Dude had his reasons, but the point is.. he ain't no ordinary kid
Wendy is smart. Marty is smart. Their son is even smarter, pays attention to everything, thinks for himself, picks up new skills on a whim, and was mentored by an associate of the KC mob.
Jonah will be unstoppable.
Jonah calling a Rolodex a "paper wheel...with all his contacts on it" made me feel very old.

Don't give her your money Jonah. He's smarter than you Charlotte. He's smarter than you and he's like 12.
He is the smoothest criminal on the show. Everyone else is so wound up: he just acts.
All that time I was waiting for Buddy to get shot in that field, glad he didn't. I love his character!
He took so much joy in the torching (laughing, smiling the whole time), I was afraid for him too. I thought that might be his "last hurrah."
From Wikipedia:
"Preparing for the Matinee" is an oil painting by American artist Edmund C. Tarbell, created in 1907. It is currently part of the permanent collection at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
A young woman, identified as Charlotte Barton of Boston, sits in a green patterned chair, adjusting her pearl-tipped hatpin in a gilded mirror. A corner of Vermeer’s "The Music Lesson" can be seen in the upper right corner. She is dressed very elegantly, and, as suggested by the title, is going out to the matinee. The loose brushstrokes of her shirt, hair, and hat are elegantly contrasted with the solidness of the chair she is sitting in.
Born, raised, and educated in and around the Boston, Massachusetts area, Tarbell was interested in the lives of the women who lived in the area. Tarbell was the leader of the Boston School, a group of artists who painted women in interior and exterior settings, usually active in mundane, domestic activities. Using impressionist techniques, they bring to life these seemingly dull activities with their lively brushstrokes. Tarbell concentrated on the world of upper-class women, depicting them elegantly in the latest fashions. These women exemplified the Boston Brahmin lifestyle.
Roy Petty is giving Van Alden from Boardwalk Empire a run for his money. So fucked up. I love it.
That's a character I haven't thought of for a while. Man, he was frightening.
do tell guys?
From HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" a few years ago. He was not the most stable of individuals. He had impulse control issues. And that is putting it mildly.

If Wyatt's writing is any indication, he may be a lot smarter than we realize so far.
A lot of writers are pretty moody too. And he isn't lacking in that quality.
Ruth's dad was apologizing for putting his hands on her, while his hands were on her. Then proceeded to say that there is no excuse, only right after giving one. This man is full of contradictions.
All this after she had gone out of her way to make him welcome/comfortable after his release.

This is soooooo itching my house of cards withdrawal
They could easily exist in the same universe. Their view of human motivation is quite similar.
episode one: ok, maybe, just maybe Ruth's dad is alright .
episode two: i expect something and i am let down
I had hopes for him too. :(

Ruth's dad going full Yondu
Please do not make me sympathize for this character!
Some of the best kids in tv shows for sure. I think the defining thing to set this apart from Breaking Bad (which it will always be compared to) is how this show ropes the entire family in for the ride fairly early on.
And the kids aren't dumb or overly-conflicted for plot's sake (or to contrast against the parents); you get a sense that they are just normal kids -- with all the quirks that entails -- doing their best to make sense of their new, hopefully-temporary lifestyle.

I saw someone saying the reason was because Camille wasn't paying attention to Amma, she was talking with Richard instead of watching the play so Amma ran away to the shed to get more attention.
This was my assumption too. All of Amma's actions are directed towards pulling more attention towards herself (though not all attention seems to be equal: she really craves Adora's and Camille's need for her, yet is somewhat disdainful of a lot of people, especially her roller-skating buddies and the town at large).
I think Patricia Clarkson wins for Best Supporting Actress. There is a lot of talent on display this season on television, but I think she delivered a difficult, career-defining performance as Adora.
Let's speculate everyone.. What do you think Camille might do after that last scene? Do you think she'd just give it up or make Amma move out? Or call Detective Dick?
Let's agree that whatever her decision...there would be a lot of drinking involved.
The music is very beautiful and uplifting. It's a nice contrast.

Oh my god Camille's pretending to be sick to save Amma. This is MESSED UP, holy shit. This show, guys.
The sheer amount of evasive skills those women would need to learn to outwit Adora is staggering.
A phenomenal movie, and very similar in tone to Sharp Objects.
Perhaps also some No-Doz, cigarettes, and a lot of candy.
What was she talking about there? Cus she was drinking?
Adora was playing games with Camille, indicating that she knew that Camille was an alcoholic.
Adora biting her baby is very reminiscent of the painting by Francisco de Goya (or the version by Rubens) of Chronos devouring his own children.
