Well, as someone who has made many a political mistake in the corporate world, it is better to suck it up and swallow your ego and not push back at people in higher positions if you don't absolutely have to. She's not helping herself by acting defensive about her experience and racial issues. You have to be very

Matt Damon made "Stuck on You" with the Farrelly Brothers. Meryl Streep was in it also. It was hilarious. Cher was in it. I would imagine it made money. "There's Something About Mary" was a big hit. Their movies are actually funny. And they also cast some friends in it which is sweet and they are great (they

Oh…. it didn't occur to me, as someone else posted, that they put a hallucinogen in her pill capsules. Now I get it. I thought it was something benign and she was just getting bipolar again. Carrie is one hot mess. Remember - people often die after being in a room that Saul has been in. Just sayin'.

Better yet - let them kidnap Lockhart and make HIM listen to the terrorist and his wife. That actor playing Lockhart is the playwright who wrote August: Osage County.

Claire Danes said she missed Damian Lewis. Maybe they wrote this in so they could have a little reunion. A bit intense. Anything to keep Claire happy.

Enlightened was not stupid. It was great. I really like the actors on Homeland but the writing and the stories. It certainly is not realistic. Not like "The Honorable Woman" with Maggie Gyllenhaal. That is excellent suspense/mystery/espionage/terrorism. Not sure if it's coming back but it's great. On Sundance

I LOVE Michael O'Keefe the way he keeps a straight face with his chin tucked in looking sideways at Carrie. His expressions are the way I thought a spy would be - no expression, jaded. I'm so glad to see Michael O'Keefe on this. Great actor and great zen practitioner.

I don't know what going off Lithium is like but most meds if you've been taking psych meds for awhile you KNOW when you missed a dose by a few hours. And you are familiar with how it feels. I don't think you would go full wacko as fast as she did. She should have known something was wrong and gotten some kind of

Or he's going to be carrying her around in a Bjorn.

He leaves fingerprints every where. And he messes up the cardboard on the door glass and then messes up the garbage bag and Carrie's "protégé" doesn't even think twice about it.

Awww, Brody. I wonder if he will feature in more hallucinations. I read they would never have someone with Carrie's illness in her position. It's stressful enough to be station chief in a place like that without having a mental illness. They would have found out by now. Obviously she's too vulnerable to the

There's something about this show - they have such ridiculous details or things glossed over that make it so unbelievable. Wouldn't the station chief have more security for her apartment? Or cameras around? If she's keeping her bipolarity a secret, why would she have all her meds lined up in plain sight in the

Ha, ha, ha….omg …. that is so true!!!!! His hands were chained so he couldn't get his gum to chew.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is at the absolute height of her comedic acting abilities. She is masterful. She is the most skilled and has honed her sitcom chops over the years. And she is playing a powerful woman. It is pure delight! An older-ish woman, top of her game, having the time of her life, great writing, great

Paulie seemed as if he might (MIGHT) be nicer to her after presumably going through rehab and being in a step program. He seemed nicer to her and a bit chagrined. He hugged her. Maybe the execs have the power to cast her. She will probably push Paulie over the edge again. Now we have Valerie in another reality

Everyone - you really need to go back and watch the first season to get all the inside jokes and story lines. It makes this second season richer to watch if you know the backstory. I. Am. Ecstatic. I was SO mad when it was not renewed after one season. And Curb Your Enthusiasm was allowed to find its audience and

Chelsea is a good friend of Jennifer Aniston (and maybe Lisa Kudrow). Maybe that's why? A comic actress would have been funnier, one trying to be "good" in the role. It was a tiny moment, though. Long live The Comeback. So thrilled there are so many great comedies now with women as the stars.

I read where Lisa Kudrow said she likes to play characters who don't realize how they are coming across. They are not self-aware. Even if Valerie Cherish has some less than stellar qualities, she is still sweet and can have empathy. She tries. She IS likeable. She wants to be liked and to fit in. She's just

So thrilled The Comeback is back!!!! Sort of felt the premiere was a little clunky but I know they will find their footing and it will be hilarious. Why this brilliant satire was not continued after one season when other awful shows continued is beyond me. Then Lisa went on and did Web Therapy which is different
