It's pretty reasonable that an intelligent woman with daughters wouldn't be crazy about a guy who bragged about sexually assaulting women and is generally racist and misogynist being elected president. Are all Trump supporters terrible, prejudiced people? Obviously not. But they all decided that his racist/misogynist

That actually makes so much sense, because I remember thinking it was a slightly clunky line when Ford said something about "And your dead son…" It just seemed like that's not how people really talk…and it's not. It was Ford awakening some new backstory.

I highly doubt the child actor was there for the actual "thrusting" shot — they only showed BJR for that. There are pretty strict rules about what child actors can do on sets like this.

Oh also, the shot of the necklace turning black was INCREDIBLE — even though I knew the cup had poison in it, it was so startling and visceral.

Am I terrible for feeling like the rape of Fergus was shown in a horrible but not at all gratuitous way? It wasn't even remotely like what was shown with Jamie, or even with Mary (I doubt the child actor was actually there for the really horrific shot of Randall…in action.) They could have shown less, but I think part

I wish we'd seen the moment when Jamie and Claire first talked again after last week's fight, but it didn't surprise me that it wouldn't take long for Jamie to stop being angry at her, as understandably furious as he was at the time. After the emotional height of the moment dissipates, it's hard to really be furious

It actually just occurred to me that Randall looked like he was touching the place where he knew the brand was.

My personal interpretation of that was that Jack was speaking about his brother, but that they never had an incestuous relationship. I think Jack's sexuality is so twisted that it wouldn't shock me if he had incestuous feelings mixed up in his platonic love for his brother — especially since he seems, in a weird way,

The lead actors on this show are always wonderful, but Sam Heughan's face in that last scene was amazing. I had never seen that expression on his face as Jamie before in the whole series: it was like a mixture of contempt and betrayal and something else, and it was really hard to watch, both to see him feeling that

I would never say, or have reason to say, something like that to my mom — but when Jane is looking at a woman who can't sustain a relationship, who gets embarrassingly drunk and makes poor sexual decisions even though she's 40, and who's been giving the SAME apology year after year without ever learning…."cautionary

That was a harsh thing to say, but when you think about how selfish and immature Xo has been — and how Jane never got to have her normal immature phase because she had to parent her mother — it's very understandable, I think, and admirable in a way that Jane didn't say much worse things. I think Xo obviously has a lot

Interesting—I thought the exact opposite. Not that Algie necessairly looked happy because he's still wrestling with so many demons, but I think the show was saying that he'd chosen a field in which he could excel and have a tremendous impact. Psychology, especially at that time, wasn't a task a layman could do. To be

There's a Knick podcast? Or do you mean the thing right after the show, where they sometimes show short behind-the-scenes clips (though I didn't see one after the finale)?

I would disagree. He's pretty indisputably the most consequential (in a good way) president since LBJ when it comes to domestic policy, and while I think Obama's natural personality is not that of a schmoozer, he's worked tremendously hard in the face of a Republican Congress that hates him to accomplish a truly

Wow. It's amazing how a man and a woman do essentially the same thing, but only the woman gets called whore.

Agreed about Hamilton. Whether or not it was more than one person, he definitely was no indiscriminate philanderer like some of the others Noah mentioned. He clearly loved his wife and children more than anything—his letters to Eliza are amazing—and also clearly didn't consider his own cheating to be okay.

This might be a totally insane theory….but did we actually SEE Rebecca die? We see Bonnie put the bag over her head, and we see her dead, but did we see her die? I just wonder if there's a chance that Bonnie didn't actually kill her—that she was just trying to scare her, and then someone else ended up killing her.

For sure. Purely facetious—chest sizes of all kinds can be very attractive. I don't think it's important at all when it comes to beauty, so purely a silly joke. :)

Again, it's just subjective. I've seen the same pictures, and marveled at how beautiful she is even without any styling or makeup or special clothes. Because to me, her face is beautiful, in and of itself. I think Elizabeth Taylor was gorgeous too, but Keira Knightley's face is more beautiful to me personally. But

Oh for sure, that was just my facetious comment about my friend having essentially the body of a barbie doll without any effort. :) I've also had a couple well-endowed friends who actually had breast reductions, so it's definitely not like big-chested = awesome all the time.
