Charles Manson invites Agent Hodiak to a trip.
Here is our review of Aquarius season 1, episode 4.
Hes hoping to clear his rat and get his ex-partner a stiffer collar.
Duchovny and Kelly make an easy time of it this week.
They finally internalized the friendship and let it come out through their mouths and body language.
The grieving widow is trying to do her best not-yet-faded Mae West, without the innuendo or lackadaisical voice.
Answering things about her dead husband doesnt come cheap.
The dancers are brightly painted and go to tears at the drop of a hat.
Too quick for Hodiak, anyway.
Maybe he does it with mirrors.
Hodiak is so busy keeping surveillance he doesnt see Charlie go all pimp and off the sound engineer.
Charlie was somewhat justified though, the sound guy doesnt handle morning-after conversations that well.
The republican king-maker has skeletons that wont come out of the closet.
Ken Karn (Brian F. OByrne) lives out his George Michael fantasy in park bathrooms.
Karn goes into homophobic panic and threatens Manson with a 12-gauge phallic symbol.
His wife, Grace, doesnt think hes much of a man.
Luckily Manson (Gethin Anthony) has nothing but love for Ken.
He owes him for the studio time anyway.
You cant fault Marvin the box cutter for trying.
Hodiak even gets witty banter.
When Hodiak is looking for his son he says hes not a cop.
Theres something averse to playing the role even as he obviously loves playing the game.
You just never know anyone, if youre lucky.
Hes whitewashing more than just his garage.
Like father like daughter.
Emma Karn (Emma Dumont) teaches Sam that LSD and rifles dont mix.
This wasnt a bad representation of a hallucination for data pipe TV.
Trippers dont always see monsters, usually its the perception that gets altered, not the specific landscape.
Dont try it at home.
Its better in a club anyway.
The Manson song of the week was the title of the episode.
That doesnt stop it from proceeding at a confident pace that matches the easy-going relentlessness of Duchovnys Hodiak.
Manson turned 80 in November.
