Alfonso Gomez-Rejon is a Murphy/Falchuck favorite who's already directed episodes of the first four seasons of Glee and who had been involved in season 1 of AHS. But it was on "I Am Anne Frank (Part 2)", during season 2, that he developed a very peculiar style that did wonders on that episode. His touch was also quite…

Emma Roberts is a lead, not a guest star. Like Lily Rabe, she's supposed to appear in most of the season.

Stop, in the name of love!

Real IRA is a thing, but the show calls it instead True IRA, because they don't want a guy in his living room 6,500 miles away delivering to them C-4 filled beer barrels on the day the writing team is supposed to meet.

I agree. The thing that bothers me is that it's the only element that matters to the press while information is still sketchy so far. The show used zero aspect from the aftermath of the tragedy apart from what's just a side issue.
If the local population wanted the club shut down as the possibility they were involved…

She wouldn't have to go on her own against True IRA, she would just have to take credit for raising the issue of drug smuggling by the True IRA and causing a federal or international investigation on them. Which would do a ton of good to her career, more than putting all the heat she can on a bunch of hairy and dirty…

As Zach and other people talked about it here, Roosevelt is a substitute for Hale because Taylor Sheridan wanted to leave the show (he's now a screenwriter that has Peter Berg and Bradley Cooper attached to his projects), Tyne Patterson takes over what was intended for Lee Toric until Donal Logue's schedule for…

The headlines are truly idiotic and make the school shooting even more of a story device. The aftermath of such a tragedy wouldn't deal exclusively with the question of who sold the gun.
There would be the grief of the families about their dead children, the debate about the second amendment (even if the gun was bought…

You're right. But Patterson is supposedly written to be a decent person, which makes it all the more raging she inherits in a totally implausible way the grudge that Toric had against the Sons, the thing that you feared when they had to kill Toric a few weeks ago.
No newspaper would for instance focus for days or weeks…

How many times have we heard Jax say that he's moving the club away from crime and that from now on it will go legit, just before a few side characters get offed by the villains?
Remember that Tara had just returned to Charming when the show began. She had an honest career elsewhere and she only returned to her…

The last two episodes are the equivalent of nice original side missions that break the mood during a GTA-like video game that's not that good. And you know that it will go downhill for the club after that brief moment of unity and triumph.

Regarding Tara…
- Abel was kidnapped by the IRA at the end of season 2 while Half-Sack was shot in front of her
- the kids almost died in the car accident when Gemma was stoned out of her mind. It was during last season, which took place one or two months before this one
- the kids almost died again because of the bomb a…

Rat Boy will live. There are three new members that were introduced by Bobby and who can only be described as That Guy, That Other Guy and The Third Guy, who'll make some good cannon fodder in the coming weeks.

But a very belabored con by a character for which the writers have little empathy.

The show could get Dana on screen for reasons other than being Brody's daughter if her scenes were remotely interesting this season. Unfortunately, they're not.
Seasons 1 and 2 were focused on Brody and Carrie. Season 3, so far, has been much more about Carrie and Saul. In that context, the scenes with Brody's family…

In addition, the stills for the unfinished prison epic "Sanctions of Promise" come from the prison scenes in "The Ten", that I have been watching for the first time.

The hospital in which they shot season 1-3 and the second hospital in which they shot season 4 were both demolished. That's why they moved to an orphanage for this season.

I feel that the writing team for Parks & Rec may have landed a few refugees from The Office, as something was a little off in the characterization of Leslie in the early episodes this season. She was back at female, more efficient Michael Scott from season 1. Last night was the first episode of the season that showed…

Further observations:
• Rory Spindell was at the press conference and he had lots of hair.
• We had two Newsreaders episodes that named "Rob Heubel" as the actor for Owen Maestro, now twice in a row, it's been "Huebel." So, what's the right spelling?
• Huebel/Heubel has an assistant whose sole purpose seems to bring him…

It was modeled on the Werner Herzog relationship with Klaus Kinski. He shot a documentary about it, My Best Fiend.
Then, you had the constant need for Herzog to insert himself into the action, very obvious in Grizzly Man, which is lampooned here in the scene where Wain goes to the old house and doesn't let the tenants…
