I couldn't get into The Witcher 3, primarily on account of what seemed like pretty poor voice-acting. Is that an unfair criticism? And, more importantly, does it get better?

Eric (AKA Quint) goes into a lot more detail on AICN today. He's one of the more balanced writers over there, so he tries to give it a fair shot, but the overall vibe is not positive.

Interestingly, they've completely abandoned the BDSM stuff completely this season.

I'm pretty sure that they always said that they owned it, but that it was an $8m property, the mortgage for which Wendy predominantly paid.

Since they're going through a divorce, they're both presumably prevented from blowing the combined assets, but they're both entitled to utilize enough for their day-to-day expenses. Also, while his father may be opposed to their getting a divorce, I have a hard time that he wouldn't be willing to at least loan Chuck

I distinctly remember that the prosecutor with the afro (Lonnie, is that his name?) had an offer from Davis Polk.

Just an Ambien-infused anecdote that seemed worth sharing at the time. I would hardly call it rubbing elbows though - I was very much an interloper.

It was definitely "Horvarth". An obvious play on Cravath though.

"Billions" is a show that regularly stretches credibility, but none more so than when I saw Chuck preparing to cook those salmon fillets (with a roasted kale chip salad, no less) for his kids. He's the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, for God's Sake. Where does he find the time?

Kudos to the show, they couldn't have found a better stand-in for Loretta Lynch, short of casting the real thing.

I get Ira confused with the legal recruiter who Chuck used to meet in the steam room ("HORVARTH"). They sure looked awfully similar.

If I were paying a small fortune to eat at that restaurant, I'd be less than happy about a helicopter roaring overhead mid-way through the tiramisu.

That was some weird shade of shrimp too.

Tasteless, but funny. I'm slightly ashamed to admit I laughed at that.

Abby's "project" took me out of the show a bit. I live in a similar environment of privileged white-folk and helicopter parenting, so all the nonsense at school, along with the parental rivalry, rings true. How any parent could be expected to be okay with Abby's plan though is just beyond me.

He seemingly is, though I sometimes get a creepy vibe off him, especially when there's teenage girls around. He gave both his step-daughter and one of the girls at her school a weird look a few episodes back.

Look up every actor and actress of the past 30 years on IMDB. Chances are high that they'll be in the new season. Seriously, it's like a cast of thousands. It makes me nervous about how much screen-time people will really be receiving, unless there's a scene in which Cooper crashes the Emmys/Oscars.

I think it's fair to say that some members of the cast aged better than others, male and female.

While it certainly had some major flaws, it was very, very far removed from garbage. It contained some of the very best moments that the show had to offer. Remove the awful James subplot (in fact, just remove James period) along with Nadine, and you're left with a great season. Maddie's death, the final reveal of the

I must confess that I fell asleep during this part of the movie (assuming it's the scene in the tavern early on). What happened exactly?
