"I couldn't make you look bad if I tried."
"I love it when you play doctor."

No, it's not Lord Lucan (though he may have represented the fugitive peer in Albuquerque).

I remember stumbling onto an NPR station during a long drive 14 years ago as Terry Gross was in mid-interview with a rather un-butch fellow who had starred in M. Butterfly. It wasn't until she finished that I realized that it was the dude from the new Law and Order show.

Hey, they broke the mold by not hiring a middle-aged white female.

As much as I love number three, that is too much to hope for, though there is definitely an element of "performance art" running through everything he does. His "actual political leanings" are thus vapor; if he had any, they would be irrelevant. I doubt he could do what he does if "true beliefs" ever entered his…

Actually, it was rather a rather critical role. You can't have a martial arts movie without a token Asian.

He is living under an assumed name in Nebraska, working for his old buddy at Cinnabon.

Let them both do there own thing within the structure of the other program!

O'Reilly is not stupid; I believe that he completely "gets it." I suspect that he is rather brilliantly and cynically playing an endlessly long game, and winning. A meta-con. His head would be in no danger of exploding, and he would somehow turn his time on Colbert's stage to his advantage.

Oh, I remember the character. But I wasn't really conscious of Wong until SVU, like a decade later, and never made the connection. I see now that he also did X-Files and Mulan in the years between, as well breeding (via surrogate). Gotta love Wikipedia.

Any chance we could get Colbert and O'Reilly to try this? Strangely, I doubt O'Reilly's audience would have much of a problem with it.

I didn't think Wong had much experience with breeding, authorized or unauthorized. Is that his style now?

When I was first exposed to James Brown as a teenager in the 80s (via Blues Brothers, Rocky IV, Doctor Detroit, etc.) he seemed pretty much like a caricature of such "cool" groups as Morris Day and the Time. I quickly learned that he was in fact the Godfather of all the music I was listening to during those years.…

Why on earth was there an ashtray in the shot? If there's an ashtray, why do we need the Big Hug Mug? Paul Anka would surely insist on a proper ashtray. Is this a case of overlapping circles? The original Cohle never went there. Is there an as-yet-unexplored Venn Diagram explanation of Being to come in the next…

Is "Dan Arkroyd" related to the Dan Aykroyd that performed with James Brown in Doctor Detroit? Brilliant stuff, especially with Howard Hesseman, T. K. Carter, and Devo involved.

The closing scene with an angry Elizabeth I is completely enhanced by knowledge of later (earlier) events in "The Day of the Doctor." Both the Doctor's innocent reaction, and the old queen's rage, fit perfectly with the subsequent mythology. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned," as Shakespeare, fittingly, never…

How do the creators imagine that we should feel about Alan Farragut? After the first few episodes, I suspected that they had just made a horribly unfortunate casting choice (wrong man in the wrong role).

This show really has me wondering: are there any viewers out there, anywhere, who are watching and enjoying this at face value? Actively rooting for Alan Farragut, intrigued by the "mysteries," seriously shocked by the horrific twists and turns?

The only side of Saul's brilliance we were able to see first hand was his creativity in keeping his clients away from any courtroom. I expect that we'll be seeing him at the bar in Better Call Saul.
