yes in the age of anti-heroes it is nice to see Aziz's personality shine through as a contrast.

So based on that comment I have to ask if episode 6 is New York I Love You and focuses on totally ancillary people. Because I have heard of this episode and am damn excited.

(I didn't come up with the Sara as the Russian analogy I stole it from PCHH, but it was too good not to repeat)

Yup my thought exactly

I think more anachronisms were popping up this episode because the dream's breaking down.

The Thief:
One of the reasons I love Aziz is because like you say he talks a lot about technology and the dating process which is something I deal with a lot. Besides the way that this episode apes classic Italian cinema, I do like how it introduces us to all these italian characters who are obviously coming back. But…

not as a first date. you dont want a first date that is expected to last that long. just get drinks or coffee. something either side can bail if its awful or prolong if its good

I have not read anything else by him no so sorry can't help

I really like the Fifth Season as well and while I found the second person annoying at first you do adjust to it pretty quickly. My only problem with the book was that I knew what the structural narrative trick she was using was immediately because I swear to god I had been failing to write a story using the same…

In the past month I have read:

not every criminal offense leads to disbarment, disbarment is particularly reserved for crimes or acts that question the integrity of the court/law, so like lying, theft, embezzling, or in this case tampering with documents. they specifically said the criminal punishment would be negligible in this case because of the…

right the taped confession is spun to be said deliberately not to reflect the truth, but to alleviate Chuck's suffering. The key to the disbarment is the evidence tampering that Jimmy did when he changed the numbers on the documents, the only evidence of that is the tape, but the tape itself can be spun as a false…

It's simpler than that. jimmy basically proved Chuck's allergy is psychosomatic and the tape has Jimmy explicitly saying that he is saying what he is saying to make Chuck feel better. In the minds of those listening it is extremely likely that Jimmy gave a false confession on tape to make Chuck feel better when he…

which is also unusual as even with a plea deal to divert into non-criminal diversionary program, there is usually an open court hearing where the plea is made to a judge and the judge DOES NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT IT.

Yeah i had no idea about any of it and that story is so sad and the guys are so awful. I feel like it is the natural conclusion of the series where it strips all of the glamour out of the image that had been crafted around blonde women in hollywood and how men just fail them again and again

Dead Blondes had a few stellar episodes, but the entire thing seemed forced around the theme of Marilyn Monroe and the women who resembled her. the last episode on Dorothy Stratton was really fascinating because of how different and seedy it was.

I gave up on Sawbones. If a topic looks really amazing I'll still listen to it, but for the most part I'm done with it

well there are ten episodes we haven't seen of it on prime, so maybe 5? And we will be discussing the 21st. heck by then the other half of that season might be on prime and we'll have 20 episodes

Great question! maybe pick Vikings back up again? I feel we have talking about doing that for awhile and other stuff kept popping up. Plus probably good to hit a drama after the ridiculousness of Review.

I did yes.
