There's Something Wrong With AMC's 'The Killing'

Let's push past the Joker-vandalized marketing and the weird idea that all televised teen girl murder mysteries are acutely Pacific-Northwestern. There's a bigger problem with AMC's The Killing and it is staring us all right in our about-to-be-melted faces. 

Uh, there's a fucking Cylon on the show. 

Don't relax! You can't trust him! He's-

It's hard to care about one missing kid when there's a murderous cyborg posing as the head detective's boyfriend, ready to wipe out all of humanity. This is the sort of thing Morgan Freeman and two dozen other shadowy heads of state mull over in a War Room for about 3 minutes before ultimately deciding to firebomb the entire town of Forks off the map. Leoben Conoy (Number 2) WILL NOT STOP. 

Nice casting, AMC. Way to make a show about one single bloodless murder and end up bringing in a guy who makes you envision the entire world burning. Like Big Ben and the Sydney Opera House etc. in flames. 

Obviously if you're a guy and you've played a Cylon, you can never play a human ever again because no one will believe you. The other dudes have clearly figured that out. Chick Cylons have it a little easier. Boomer is on Hawaii 5.0 and it's pretty good and Xena is on the Spartacus show and I don't believe either of them want to kill me personally.
