I'm not overly familiar with Polish criminal law, but I'm not sure what kind of assurances they could give Polanski that he could actually rely on. Tricking people to returning to a jurisdiction is far from unheard of in policework. Are they expected to sign a contract with a monetary penalty clause that they won't…

It's a more relevant topic here, since this is about his continued efforts to avoid facing the music (and attempting to bribe Poland into not arresting him with a $40 million movie production), rather than being about one of his movies.

The statute of limitations doesn't apply when you've been charged (or pleaded guilty) but are evading capture.

"Fools, I am above the law!"

Yeah, but it generally seems to be the latter episode that is credited with making it widely known (they even spell it).

True Detective Season 1: Finished watching this earlier this week. Overall, I'd say this series rates very high on characterization and acting (though I was generally more impressed by Harrelson than McConaughey, the latter having attracted the lion's share of the critical plaudits), and certainly on atmosphere (if…

Seasons 12-13 were the last that I watched regularly, and 12 has a lot in it that I really enjoy. It popularized the word "meh" for us!

"Summer of the 4 Ft. 2" is such a great episode. As a young, socially-introverted sort, I related so much to Lisa.

One of my favourite subverted jokes on the show:

Considering how terribly the writers of the show handled Catelyn's character, it's hardly surprising that they'd get rid of Stoneheart too.

Definitely a PR move, but details like whether a certain elements has been cut are basically factual, and that's mostly what was the issue there. His assessment of the quality of the film, of course, is subjective — though I hope it's true, because I'm a big fan of Chicago and have been repeatedly disappointed by all…

Well, the more recent Red flashbacks this season were more about background for Vee's character, I think.

Yeah, that confused the hell out of me. I mean, her name was always "Rosa", but Barbara Rosenblat is an English Jew is clearly doing some kind of Eastern European accent. If she was always supposed to be Latina, there was some weird miscommunication going on between the actress and the showrunners.

Gloria's crime could be considerable depending on how much money was involved. She implied that food stamp fraud was what was putting the store in the black.

Don't worry, I just looked it up (apart from Turner's; that I knew, because her being tall is something people regularly comment on in the fandom).

That's something some people have speculated, but he's denied it.

*Charles grumbles*

She didn't forge the chains, she sees that they're nicely polished and kept in good order.

Please, the Queen is Team Tywin all the way.

Poor Maisie is 5 foot nothing (+ heels) to Sophie's 5'9 (+ heels).
