Not such an intelligent move on her part, in my view. What I see happening is that jail-cam kiss footage somehow getting to her law firm, and the stuffed shirts there getting scandalized and cutting her loose. Leaving Stone free to run the anchor leg.

Chandra seems to be growing closer to Naz the worse he appears. The story of his second assault in school and the revelation of the other half of his tattoo (BAD) apparently threw her into a swoon. I agree, though. Weird moment, and not really necessary.

Box has portrayed so sympathetically up until now, that it's a revelation to see how he might actually be a lazy cop at best, a bad cop at worst. Chandra really could have gone at him much harder. And I'm wondering at what point they plan on advancing their theory about the step-dad? That is really their best bet…

I really wish they hadn't taken Shaolin's step into criminality as far as they did. By killing someone, Shao has basically turned his future over to Fat Annie. I realize that we are seeing the illegal activity that underpins a lot of hip-hop. I just think it's too much. But I guess too much is what the Get-Down is…

I assume that they're just letting Bryan Hitch write in hopes he'll draw some arcs. He's not a really distinctive writer. And Green Lanterns seems to be one of the worst victims of DC's Biweekly Penciller Roulette. The current issue has four artists, the last had, like, five.

Yeah, me, too. Metro's a clusterfuck, and one false move driving could get you a $125 speedcam ticket. I'm gonna get there eventually, though.

I once witnessed an argument in a local shop in the early days of the Galactica reboot, between a store employee and a customer. The employee was angry at the fact that they now had Col. Tigh played by a white actor, instead of a black actor. The customer didn't see the problem.

Goodbye, Lochte. And on your way out, give MC Eiht back his catchphrase.

So Smits is working to nail Papa Fuerte down. They're at least making an effort to flesh out Lydia. But Giancarlo Esposito hasn't been allowed to play more than a one-dimensional, religious hypocrite. And we KNOW he can do more than that.

I wonder if I'm too literal-minded for this show sometimes. Like virtually everyone from the beginning, I expected we'd find Elliott was locked up, but as time went on, I was changing my mind. And Ray was the reason. Could a fellow prisoner (or, okay, a guard) run a illegal business so flagrantly? Maybe. But haven't…

He's played the fat, crass, misogynist asshole too many times. It's grown past the point of typecasting to, that must be him, right?

Enough of This Shit: Movies about white guys destroying things (people, countries, the economy) for their own profit and entertainment. Especially ones starring Jonah Hill.

I suppose. But Marvel seems to be bringing that version back to comic shops in a long-delayed series by Gennedy Tartakovsky.

Oh. So they're gonna continue with these gangster characters. Oh, well. Jimmy Smits is trying to rein in his hammy character. Maybe they can, too.

It's not TV. It's HBO.

Some of the guests were good. Some of the regulars were good. But the panel segments still seemed to drag, despite being relatively brief. Part of the problem, I think, was they felt the need to comment on the day's Trump foolishness every day.

Ricky must have gotten his pink slip before everyone else on the show. It wasn't that he had checked out, he had never checked in.

The pilot was about 20 minutes too long, like a lot of entertainments these days. And the cartoonishness of the villains made me hope that their presence is kept to a minimum. But the leads were pretty good, and the Hip-Hop Family Tree-ness of the show won me over. I'm in for the first six, at least.

True. But I got the impression that there just aren't that many black people in that area of the country. So Dassey had to act as a stand-in.

No. Thank YOU.
