Let me just say that Jack Gleeson is going to get to show us his chops.

And you're right about BB: to haggle over plot points would be nitpicking.
My problem is with setting and verisimilitude: with the reality of the
show in other words. I've read over a dozen articles in the last week
by writers, actors, and persons associated with BB: they all claimed
loud and clear that reality was the governing dynamic in the making of
BB. I think they drastically failed their dynamic in this last episode.
Just a few examples: Living in an isolated house with no outhouse in the
middle of nowhere is not hiding; it's more like advertising your presence.
Secret compartment in a propane truck with out of state plates. Please.
And finally, these days every cop on the beat has acess to a computer
terminal and can check ID. Even for a million dollars you could not find
a driver's license. Nobody could except a government sanctioned agent.
For a show so concerned with reality, they blew it big time at the end,
though it's good to see that someone in addition to Tarantino appreciates
Robert Forster. Regards,

J.R.
