You're right, it wouldn't have worked. It's only one episode but doing that would not have been in character for Shadow. He hasn't had time to process his grief, let alone the knowledge of Laura's affair. I don't think he's had time to get angry about it or want any kind of revenge closure. Good choice.

Cillian Murphy. I'd be all in for that.

That's true, I'd forgotten about Hand.

Thanks, that does make some sense. And it still makes me wonder about Framework Ward, though, because shouldn't all the data, from memories or other sources, point to him as a traitor?

But memories are a part of that data, right? Because I remember a few statements from Radcliffe and Aida about up- or downloading memories.

My mom is a Mavericks' fan, and while I don't mind them, I'm not much of a country fan. However, I loved The Mavericks' cover of "Dr. Feelgood" on the album of Motley Crue covers by various country artists. Everything else I heard was just a somewhat countrified cover, but they added an atmosphere to it, a little…

I was thinking "Collateral" myself. I'm not a Tom Cruise fan — he always seems to be himself in movies, and let's not get into the other stuff — and he will often steer me away from a movie. But "Collateral" is terrific, and he's great in it. ("Edge of Tomorrow" is also good, but he's again himself in it, and…

I find Framework Ward to be kind of fascinating in the sense that, like Trip and Hope, he himself is not in the Framework. So what is he? Is he a composite of everyone else's memories? And if that's the case, would everyone perceive him the same way? Is he a program that Aida created in the Framework because she knew…

They were but you can see them in the extended cut on DVD. They aren't bad, but cutting them was a good decision. They don't really add to the story, and it made the movie a fair bit longer.

Which is why he's so good as Coyote in "Grace and Frankie."

Couldn't walk out because I was with someone, but "The English Patient." ugh.

I find Ward to be the wild card in all of it. He's long dead, so HE is not in the Framework. Framework Ward is just the compilation by Aida (I guess) of the man from the memories of the people who knew him. Right? So will Simmons force Framework Ward to betray them because that's how she remembers him? (Like in Red…

Just finished the finale and it was great. I laughed out loud at the scenes between Nick and Grace (and can someone cast Gallagher as John Barrowman's father in something? Because that would be awesome), and thought the scenes with Jacob and Frankie were touching. Gallagher and Fonda have terrific chemistry, as do…

Oh I do hope so. :)

I have kids, and like kids, but I thought this was excellent. Not every woman (or man) loves kids or wants them, and it's fine not to like them. I loved that it was Brianna's *mom* who told Brianna it was okay not to like the kids, but to suck it up and pretend for the long-term greater good. Advice like that must…

Oh me too. The way they can read each other, and their parents, is terrific writing and acting.

I wish we'd seen the designing as well, but don't care about Sol's audition. We've already seen he's a lousy dancer, so the idea that his audition would be bad was kind of a given.

Very true. Plus Bud says he hates the game, and it's obvious it's been played many times before. I loved the game.

I don't laugh out loud at every line, but I probably do once or twice an episode. Which is fine. I'm not looking for a constant stream of quirky one-liners. I can watch any other show for that. I just enjoy the chemistry of the actors. The stuff they do makes me smile, even if not laugh, and I'm good with that.

That was Coyote, not Bud, IIRC. Coyote's the one with substance abuse problems, so it makes sense, but yes, it was a great detail.
