Having just binged Good Behavior, which featured Ann Dowd, I can attest to the comparison, I literally thought to myself, "Hey, look! It's Not-Margo Martindale!"

At least he didn't try to rob a restaurant by having himself delivered inside a locked safe (while doing whip-its). Since Real Pete actually did lock cousin Julia in the family safe, he might have foreseen the problems with that plan.

"The question that “Safe” ultimately proposes though is, how far will Marius go to keep a violent mobster from cutting his captive brother's fingers off with bolt cutters?"

Well, Obama did just make it easier for the NSA to share all that wonderful information they collect about us all with the other agencies, agencies that will soon be answering to Drumpf, so that might be sooner than you expected.

I believe the precedent was actually previously set in 1950 for George C. Marshall, but that was the only other time a waiver was needed (and I think there was a 10-year wait at that time, instead of the current 7-year).

I saw her with her gun on her hip and thought it was a continuity error, but then the lawyer went away and the scenario in the office was different, so it was pretty clear her timeline had been altered.

I had missed this site's review of Good Behavior, which is pretty positive, and it seems like it should be right in my wheelhouse in terms of subject matter. Comcast seems to have the entire season available to stream, including the explicit version, so I'll probably binge that after I finish up w/ "Shut Eye," which…

Thanks. I'll probably watch future extended cuts if they are readily available (otherwise I'll still feel like I'm missing out on something) but I won't be going back to watch earlier episodes in that format.

I typically stream this show (sometimes I "stream" it), but for the first time I noticed, on both Comcast's & NBC's sites, the availability of "Extended Cut" offerings of each episode. I don't think they've always been available, and, even as good as the show is, 'm not sure I want to go re-watch the season for a…

Up-voted for "joy-heckle."

It didn't really click for me until your comment referenced the necklace again, but I think this may be related to "The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick" and his "pink light experience, triggered by a necklace.

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."

This was true early in the American Revolution, too. Only a small group of people are ever motivated enough to actually put their lives on the line in the face of an oppressive regime.

That was my first LOL moment in this series, not that I was watching it expecting laughs.

Dudes is also a classic, IMO.

"The government" & "the people" are not separate entities. Those tanks & bombers & drones are operated by US citizens, most of whom think of themselves as highly patriotic. Despite what many would like to believe about people who join today's military, they are not all automatons. Service members are only obligated to…

Planting that fake immunity idol, leading Jay to it, and then hearing Jay talk about how oblivious the others were was just priceless. That was one of my very favorite moves in this game, ever.

We got pretty close to a crossover episode here, I was on the lookout for Crane among Washington's men.
