That is a kind and wise outlook. They are both flawed. I thought it was telling that almost instantly they ran to have sex. Maybe that was simply the true nature of their relationship. Friends with benefits.

Because she met him at a weight watchers type meeting the inference was he also was going to be losing weight. Even then she made it clear she needed to concentrate on her own goals and on hearing this Toby immediately tells her that he will lose weight simply to be able to date her. It was a great thing to say but in…

On a personal note I am admiring and enjoying the show making no attempt to make Hopkins or Harris look pretty, thank goodness. The tight shots on their faces are some of the best moments in the show considering that by now their countenances are works of art. Both men are masterful at minimalism. I also admit I have…

Considering they are all being carefully watched I wonder if a guest began complaining about being in lock up if there might be yet another little switch that can be flipped to see they are set free?

Since they referenced Ennio Morricone earlier, I was thinking that they were going for an operatic theme to the violence which would have been in keeping with the way he scored Once Upon A Time in the West.

I enjoyed that brief moment of showing us the "upgrade" while giving us a riff from Ennio Morricone's score to Once Upon A Time In The West.

Ivory was so impressed with Reeve's performance in Remains of the Day that he began developing the film Jefferson In Paris with Reeve as Jefferson. Reeve was delighted and began his own preparations by researching Jefferson, especially at that time in his life. At some point in the early stages of production Nick…

And hearing the lamentations of their women.

This could also mean she has had some unrequited crushes like the inexperienced school girl she really is when it comes to love and sex. Tormund is a big, strong, smart, good looking and often quite fair man. Brienne and Tormund would spend all their time fighting the hordes or fucking since neither one has any middle…

She loves Margaery and just as importantly she sees a great deal of herself in her granddaughter. While knowing the score that shit does happen, Olenna also believes in doing what needs to be done to get what she wants. I've been waiting for her to show up. After all, she did match Tywin when it came to wit, cunning…

Zack managed to be a more grown up version of himself which allowed him to make some very pointed, yet not rude, observations about just how stupidly the smart kids were behaving.

You reminded me of what my father used to say, "When someone is intelligent don't assume they are smart."

That is surely the truth, Tsunami.

I don't think he can do that since he knows it would leave him completely alone. He's placed all of his hope of companionship on them.

Stuart ramps up his pathetic persona to guilt them into letting him in and that kind of person can be really wearing. His helpfulness to them is always predicated on the implied assumption they then have to let him into the group. The constant manipulation on his part does get him a place at their table but it does…

I tend to think of Penny's apartment it a price she is willing to pay to keep her sanity. Maybe having it so she does not push one of them down the elevator shaft overshadows the credit card debt.

Yes, I miss Pauline Kael and Roger Ebert, too. If there was any critic who could draw me to a film I had no intention of seeing it was Kael.

I'd watch that episode just to see Claire in that splendid dress.

It does suggest why a woman having her honeypot waxed is not making any effort to keep her privates private. If the king shits with an audience maybe anything goes for the others who want to be considered part of the cool kids.

When I see Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa make an appearance in a procedural show I tend to think he will be the one slicing and dicing.
