I suspect there's an increasing trend in prestige TV of de-sexualizing the main characters, for various reasons: It seems more correct, given the social/political criticisms of the business, it makes the narrative simpler, it removes some anxiety in the writers, it eliminates a source of cheesiness. And it's almost an…

I've been toying with the idea of Nikki as the American people/voters and Gloria as the U.S. people/government. The choice at the end is ours, politically stuff like that. I keep coming back to the warehouse being called King Midas Storage. Also Varga flies in from the capital of the E.U. If like Midas, Trump's…

I wondered if she'd decided she'd be happy either way.

Not really, Andorra just used for shooting, and presumably it smoothed out the financing to have another country involved. The movie takes place all in Patagonia. The actors are all top notch Argentinian talent, along with a Spanish newcomer, Catalan in fact.

King Midas Storage for the fatal golden touch, I guess sums up all the bodily excretions throughout the season, and getting a name from a toilet.

She did aim that AC window unit pretty well early on.

I don't know, Gloria in her new Nikki Swango makeup and hair looked a lot happier than grim Varga in that final scene. On the other hand, Mr. Wrench has become rather evil.

Sean Spicer now looks like a witness on the stand testifying in a criminal trial. CNN sent a courtroom sketch artist to his press briefing since he banned cameras. Brilliant trolling. http://money.cnn.com/2017/0…

Netflix has an solid Argentinian/Spanish/Andorran movie called "Black Snow" that's better than any episode of "Bloodline." Family drama, takes place in a cabin in Patagonia.

It's been all downhill since she so competently made that summer salad for Pete Campbell.

Wharton undergrad, not the Wharton MBA school, which is for winners who wait.

I wish we all had doctors like that guy. Long haired fumble bones, has been Trump family doctor for decades, and before that his father had the job. He gave Trump that clean bill of health like a family doctor can get your kid a health certificate for summer camp at the last minute.

Trump is a drag queen. Well that's mean to some good people. He's a one-winged duck.

It wasn't the worst analogy, and it was about a topical subject today, net neutrality. But in context, what he said was wrong. Email filters are not affected by whether Comcast disfavors Netflix traffic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…

He's getting pretty twisted, like trying to tweak the Democrats about Nancy Pelosi. I think he's through the looking glass with how much TV he watches. He uses TiVo in the afternoon when he gets tired of being Predisent. There's an old story that he would watch news talk shows with the sound off to see who was…

Thomas, Watson and Blethyn are English. So it's 3/5, but I was just thinking of the ones who were not McDormand so I said 3/4 and then I make a copy/paste mistake. Thanks!

Heard a terrible story too about yoga, along the lines of people thinking herbs are effective medicine but also that herbs are always good for you. Can't be both! Luckily the person's chiropractor/osteopath told her to stop doing the stretching and the yoga that others had been so enthusiastic about, having…

Some people like her. Lots!

More important, an answer has emerged to what causes the instability in wheeled luggage when running through the airport. This may be helpful to Congress Critters facing protests at Washington's National Airport today. The side-to-side rocking motion that quickly gets out of control is because you are slowing down!…

That James Caan is such a jokester! McDormand's unglamorous win is more unusual than Kathy Bates's I guess because Bates went full-on wild by the end, while Marge Gunderson stayed even tempered from start to finish.
