Andy and Silas blew a golden opportunity to ditch Shane and Nancy when she got out of the van to yell at him.

Another week, another post complaining about how much the show sucks. I don't see why this episode couldn't have been combined with the last one, and probably the next one, too.

They should have left the baby with the border patrol cop, and drove on to Calgary.

^ I'm surprised to say that I agree. I even laughed a couple of times

I've liked both episodes so far. Also, I'm still surprised that the show only lasts 30, or less, minutes. For some reason I thought it was a 1 hour (45 minutes) show. So the show really sucked the previous season to get bored in less than 30 minutes. And yeah, I've watched all seasons "live".

Also, I saw Kevin Nealon in the credits, so I wonder how they are going to meet him again. I can't remember what happened to him last season.

The first two episodes weren't great by any stretch, but it hasn't pissed me off either. Too early to tell where this season is going, but I'm not going to expect much so I don't wind up disappointed.

We know Doug is back, but I really hope the Hodes don't continue to follow the Botwins around again for another season. I hate when shows make some dumb excuses why secondary characters always wind up moving to the same location the primary characters do.

^ Elizabeth Perkins (Celia) left the series, so I'd say that's unlikely.

I was unaware. This is a good thing.

Yeah, her character really doesn't deserve to resurface, though I did like Dean's character.

I'm interested to know who fucked up this show. Was it the producer who just had shitty vision and ran out of ideas or was some studio hack changing everything around.

Silas throws a hissy fit and then gets smacked down by his little brother.

Doug is not in 3 episodes this Season. That leaves 1 more left.

The showrunner lost her way. Same thing happened with The L Word.
Maybe Showtime SHOULD interfere

This show really only deserves a single "Season 6" thread. 15 posts per episode is pathetic. It's a shame this show has turned into what it has. Jenji should be ashamed.
