Oh right. The immigration just got significantly harder for you. Where in London are you living now?
How's the love life? People tend to find their mates in London. I didn't have a lot of luck on the interpersonal side but I know most people do.
We're back in NYC mostly. I'm here fulltime and my wife is still splitting

I'm in NYC and 9/11 is talked about at least once a week here too. Yes, it was fewer than 3,000 people who died in a city of ~8 million, but nearly everyone I know who has lived here since 2001 was somehow affected by at least one of those ~3,000 murders.
Not trying to take away from the trauma and whatnot of what

Yeah, she only won the most admired woman in America poll for how many straight years now? So many I can't recall. I know it's more than a decade though.

It's one of the only possible exceptions in the book where threatening one's spouse is totally permissible.
I recently rewatched Murder House and was laughing for the first several episodes watching Connie Britton ask Dylan McDermott "do you think we should leave?!" Um… yeah!!!

Hey, you! Long time no chat. I haven't been on here much. Been streamlining my tv consumption. You still loving the UK?

The sex demon I'm pretty sure was an addiction metaphor.

Correct. I cringe when people tell me how amazing Streep, Matthew Broderick and Neil Patrick Harris are at singing. No. That simply isn't true.
I'm sure they're lovely people and yes they can sing in tune for the most part, but let's not get carried away here.

I told my wife, "honey, please put a gun to my head and force me out of the home if I'm ever as stupid as these characters." It really strains the realm of believability that any of them would remain in that house, even if it was their life savings.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned as I haven't read through all the comments, but there was a fun shout out to Murder House.
In the scene when Bassett was stumbling through the house seeing all the apparitions or whatever they are, she saw the pig man in the mirror. In Murder House, Eric Stonestreet from

Same. I got promoted last year and the workload and insanity grew exponentially. I don't think I've commented here in months.

That's so annoying. I do too. They've tried getting me involved and I refuse because of — well — so many reasons really.
And hi! Haven't seen you in awhile.

Hey! How are ya? London treating you well?
Yes, People v OJ was a shocker, no? If Paulson doesn't finally win her Emmy for that, there will be rioting in the streets, I tell you!

I'm the same age as Henry, and I had Polo by Ralph Lauren myself. And yes, Elizabeth is correct; it reeks.

I interpreted it as Quinn taking on the role of her guardian angel. It was a quasi-religious moment. And like I said below, he didn't want to be memorialized with the star like she did for Brody in the final scene of season 3. The show got all meta on us and cut to black in an effort to go straight into the darkness,

I don't think so…
"Just think of me as a light on the heavens. A beacon. Steering you clear of the wrongs. I loved you."
To quote Beetlejuice, I'm reasonably certain Quinn is dead dead deadsky.

Yeah, there's very little room here to believe Quinn is not alive. I relistened to the voiceover letter he left for Carrie, and it's as clear as day that that was it for Quinn.
On a related note, I found the final scene quite moving in that he asked for no stars in his honor (a clear nod to the star Carrie added to the

There's a glimmer of hope there. If she does end up partnering with Duering, we could be permanently set in Berlin. I know, pipe dream on my part, but hey, it's possible.

I'd add to what you're saying by pointing out that literally NO ONE comes out of one of these seasons smelling like a rose. The show is wonderful at portraying both the sympathetic and nefarious agendas of all interested parties. Ok, maybe they flesh some out better than others, but for major characters, they've all

I liked how the people in the car were also unapologetically facilitating sex trafficking of minors. Just in case we felt any sympathy for them. A bit overkill, but effective and funny nonetheless.

I don't think Duering ever considered Carrie too unstable to work for him. He was talking shit about her to her boyfriend because he was trying to break them up. Duering has an ulterior motive as far as Carrie is concerned.
