Yes, but there's till a small pang of loss over them not having Kelsey Grammar as Sideshow Bob doing the entire HMS Pinafore.

I like to think Fake Sophie knew about the bacon and played it purposefully.

(paraphrasing from Louis)
"Do you know how many blow jobs I had to give to get where I am?"
"I dunno, 40?"
"None, asshole, I got here on talent."

Hehe, it's true. Maybe that it was they were going for — because he totally blue steel'd that line. Cringe.

I think he's just figuring out how to present himself but when he does, he's great. Example: his epic takedown of FIFA during the world cup.

It's really murky though. Maybe you could establish that everyone at the gathering could know he has MacKenzie blood even under the MacTavish name but it doesn't make much sense as presented (in the show or book) where everyone clearly seems to know who he is, he's lived at leoch, etc. etc. but still call him

… which became more awkward with random decisions like dubbing Jamie's French and the slow-mo action shots of the shinting contact. Definitely the weakest episode so far.

It's making me want to take up knitting again — and i loathed knitting. But that big chunky grey scarf must have an equivalent in my life.

When I first heard it was going to be a tv show, one of the things I was interested in seeing was Jamie's life at Leoch given all the politics/intrigue/plotting. It's been strange to realize that nope, the tv show is the book and we're not going to leave Claire's POV. It's fine because Balfe (the actress) is more than

The pacing was a thing of beauty. It felt really "day in the life" but had all the necessary tensions and plot points. To that — we can all agree that the black kirk was pretty much Jamie and Claire's first date, right?

The actress is killing it — I love her constantly playing and twirling her hair, fabric around her. It's a really neat way to show that she's always thinking/game-playing.

While I liked the premise and have sort of come to expect it from any Duplass film, the most entertaining sequence in the film to me was actually Sophie and Fake Ethan playing tic tac toe just fizzing over with chemistry. If these two weren't cast, especially Moss (who kills the dish washing scene), I'm not sure the

I moved to San Francisco from a small town on the east coast years back. On my first day, not really knowing anyone, I just decided to take a walk around. At a stop light, I took a step forward and sort of gently collided with a bicyclist. I stood there startled and he stopped his bike, put his feet down, took off his

(spoilers, maybe, i don't know, it's hazy)

I agreed with you… until the movie, he was good in the movie. "Farewell my concubine!!"

"Key Largo" — she mesmerized me. She was self-possessed, alluring and just as dynamic as Bogart and Robinson. It was what I thought feminism should be, that she could take any role in any movie and bring this unique voice of stillness and power to it. You knew her name and you knew no one could be her. She was truly

This is all making me think it should of been him that got to adapt "The Great Gatsby" as well….

Not really — plenty of films have approached serious, touching drama without the use of actors. To the point where I'm pretty sure it's part of Pixar's overall writing strategy now. Try not to be moved by the marraige-montage-opening to Up.

** spoilers for book and show **I was really mixed after the pilot. Yes, the casting is perfect (holy hell Jamie) and the direction really lush, but it felt as if it was mistakenly staying too close to the book. There's no life in the characters unless they're having some interaction with Claire (the men on horses
