As sweet as Lee Pace's piemaker was on Pushing Daisies, his ambitious, seemingly amoral character on HCF looks even more entertaining.

I thought they were referring to Jackson, which would still have led to Tennessee as a response.

Ironically, the less-than-stellar performance by Julia might have helped her in the end by slowing down play and running out the clock:

I admire Community's construction and writing but I do not love the show or its characters as the latter too often feel like tropes to generate jokes and stories rather than actual individuals who happen to have certain quirks and be very funny.

I have never shared the passion or even the appreciation for professional team sports.

I thought the writers were God.

Manuel knew full well he was going up against a 17-day champ, so for him to hit the first DD in FJ and wager just $3000 when he had $6400 against Julia's $12,200 with only 12 clues and one DD remaining was not only too cautious by half but timidly safe to the point of impotence.

The wording in Jay S.'s post could be interpreted to mean that FJ was the triple stumper:

I thought it was odd that Julia seemed to avoid the final DD, purposely choosing lower-valued clues even while Manuel seemed to open DJ with a hunt for DDs, but now I realize she seems to consider DDs almost as much a liability as they are a boon, especially in that particular situation where she had almost but not…

"Supply chain professional" does suggest a background in engineering, since it involves networks and systems.

Dylan missed a rather easy DD, but at least he had enough sense to realize that he had to go all in if he wanted even the slightest chance of not making the game a runaway, putting him above the vast majority of players who've challenged Julia thus far.

Early on I wanted nothing more than to see Julia lose, especially when she seemed afraid to take any chances with her betting or gameplay, but now I've come around because I realized that being competitive doesn't always mean hunting for DDs and betting big, and in her own way she's just as competitive as Arthur.

I'd recommend a tobasco enema before I'd recommend Pearl Harbor.

Steve's frustration on the buzzer revealed for me Julia's true strengths as a champion which are not only her fast response times and capacious knowledge but also and especially how unimpressive she seems based on her unassuming appearance, unexciting play, and timid wagering, leading one to underestimate her and her…

In the novel Hannibal has to subject Clarice to his own brand of pharmaceutically-enhanced psychological manipulation to make her his "willing" companion, and while Bedelia admitted to having been "persuaded" by Hannibal, she also seemed to be playing much closer to his level than the Clarice of either the books or…

Hannibal the novel and movie SPOILERS follow.

The attention to detail on this show is extraordinary, especially the rhythmic spurting of blood from Abigail's severed carotid artery, with each spurt growing less forceful as her heart slowly weakens and she slowly dies.

"My auto correct really wants him to be Be a man."

I found it compelling despite the sometimes juvenile antics mostly due to just how pretty the leads are, male and female, as well as having the trademark polish of other USA shows like Covert Affairs and Burn Notice, which are its closest cousins.

"One other thing: Julia spelled her name on the podium in a whimsical way for the second straight show. I’d say that’s a sure sign she’s gotten very, very comfortable there."
