Hubris. The victim is not likeable or compelling but is not bad enough for her death to be okay. The killer is an idiot.

It was mentioned that Matt worked in a brokerage house, meaning he is probably a stockbroker, or working in the industry, which is still a good job.
Blaine was angry because Matt had made something of himself and succeeded, while Blaine would rather rely on hare-brained "get-rich-quick" schemes that didn't work.
It seemed that Matt started working hard to be successful (probably prompted by the Russian shopkeeper confronting him), whereas Blaine continued to cut corners and not put in the hard work to be really successful. -

That's cool. They are replaying Season 1 in my neck of the woods, and "Hitchhiker" was on last week, so I remember the plot very well.
Also, liked the outro song for that episode, "I Believe" by Blessid Union Of Souls. -

I really didn't like "The Key or "Disco Inferno". Yo Adrian was kinda boing too. Creatures of the Night annoyed Me, and I didn't really like Best Friends. World's End wasn't great, especially being that it was in season 5, which I thought was awesome. I also did not like Bombers. 8 Years wasn't good, but it wasn't the worst.
I guess if I had to rate them, I would say- Creatures of the Night
- Yo Andrian
- The Key
- Disco Inferno
- Best Friends
- Bombers
- World's End
- 8 years

maybe not the worts, but i agree it was a bit..complicated..I don't get the killer they try to let us think she was a social climber but she'd never showed that..and the thing with timmy horan (trying to seduce him after refusing to do the same with mike) was unbelievable in my opinion..what do you think about that?

what about the badlands?
Not the worse, but a little weak..the main reason is the killer..i can't believe drugs can make you kill 3 people without a really strong motive (maybe the one was Della saying she'd take care of derek leaving dre sort of alone with his addiction..)..and i didn't like the final, showing the waitress at home with her abusive boyfriend.. -

I found Colors really disappointing. I was excited to see it because I'm fascinated by the Negro leagues period of baseball. I also heard that it had a black baseball player fall in love with a white woman and I love romances where the woman is white and the man isn't.
However, it didn't live up to expectation. The story was boring, the reveal of the killer and his motivation didn't make sense, and the fact that the girlfriend was really black seemed like both a copout and weird because she didn't look black at all. Or was it supposed to be a one drop rule kind of thing? Either way, I didn't like the episode.
Has anybody read the Mickey Rawlings baseball mysteries? The last book in the series, Hanging Curve, is also about a Negro Leagues star who is murdered. It's not perfect but I think it's better than Colors.
