It was never going to work, because, as Logan put it, Roman is not a serious person. Whereas Gerri is a serious person. So serious that she is the company’s savvy general counsel (on her own merits, and not because she is a Roy), proved to be competent as interim CEO, and should have been reappointed to the CEO role…

There is a great “How Did This Get Made?” Episode where Patton Oswalt passionately goes to bat for War Zone and Lexi Alexander is in the episode genuinely shocked by some of the critiques of the film’s over the top violence that she points out all came from the comics. Plus, Ray Stevenson is awesome in just about…

I feel like giving Rebecca Romijn virtually no dialogue in the original ‘X-Men’ was an excellent choice. She manages to create a character that’s all implication, all suggestion. What says Mystique better than that?

I’m not gonna go to bat for Lawrence vs Romijn, but both film versions of the character are so unlike the comics version that I hesitate saying either is a better version of the character.

I think there’s a difference between “Here’s a thing I happened that I don’t like” and “I wrote an entirely different episode in my head and this show is bad because it’s not that.” 

Maybe you need to take a break from reviewing Bill Lawrence shows, Manuel.

I’ve come to realisation that “some” people get disappointed in shows/films not being what they expect them to be, based on how they’ve played things out in their head.

Also, I always get a kick out of Chris Powell’s ridiculous lines.

Well I am glad the Keeley-Jack romance storyline is over hopefully, anyway. Feel bad for Roy blowing his attempt to comfort Keeley & get back on her good side, especially because that perhaps opened the door for Jamie, whose fault the hack was, but who Keeley forgave because he took responsibility for it & was…

I get your point in general, but “Kendall trying to come up with an idea so crazy that it blows up the deal” isn’t really the premise here. He thinks he sees a way to goose the stock price so high that Mattson can’t buy Waystar anymore. The way he's doing it is plenty nutty, but he seems to genuinely believe he's got…

Where’s the discussion of Jamie’s speech in the locker room and overall character development? His transition from showboat to team player is one of the highlights of the series. Watching him give the assist rather than trying to score the goal himself was one of the top moments of the episode.

No love for Will dressed as Beard? Him sitting at Beard’s desk reading Beard’s book was my favourite joke of the episode.

Heh, this is why grades can be funny. I largely agree with the thrust of the review— the show is best when it’s about football, particularly when we see those moments of all the work Ted and the team have done coming together like this, and the other plots can feel slight by comparison. Keeley’s conflict seemed…

Watching this from the UK, I was wondering how Sam’s plot would track; this is something that might not make it overseas, but currently there’s a huge immigration war going on with the UK Conservative goverment, because like the US, they have very little else left to put forward as their big campaigning tactic for the…

I feel like people are maybe overstating just how much of a lock Shiv’s got on things; sure, she did well this episode, but it seems like every episode this season has ended with at least one of the kids in a position where victory is almost visibly within their grasp, only for something to come along in the very next…

I mean, yeah, the takeaway is that Shiv and Tom have a toxic relationship where they like hurting each other juuuuust enough. But they have too little selfcontrol so it all ends up messed up.

Kendall complaining the rooms were small and that mountains make his sneaks muddy made me hate-laugh at him so hard. What a rube.

Now I have to go research this hotel and bump Norway up a few slots on the travel wish list.

Last season GoJo was the minnow/target and during the course of the season got slightly bigger than WRCo. enough to offer a takeover of most of it (with ATN spun off). He’s now obviously big/rich enough to just swallow up the whole thing while paying a premium. So his ego has just gotten bigger. Also, not sure he was…

Significant blood loss with do that to you.

I love Eric Northman.
