I’ll bet it’ll be some for-profit character school rather than a real public school, though.

Right? After Jaws, the most iconic of the Animals Attach genre!

Until Jan 6, I’d have said Betsy DeVos.

Gao actually mentions in the Variety interview that the writers took inspiration from The People vs OJ Simpson. Specifically for how it focused not just on the trail but also the everyday lives of the people involved as the trail was ongoing.

1.) These statues are corporate art produced by the studio as a glorified victory lap/promotional material at Gilligan’s request. The city didn’t pay for any of it. You don’t really need to have strong feelings on them any more than you would a toothpaste commercial.

The meta-ness of the time machine thought experiment and the show actually being a time machine into Jimmy’s life - and the fact that they didn’t crack you over the head with it, feels subtly brilliant. (Or they did actually crack us over the head with it, but what a velvet hammer it was.)

How could it fail? It’s LOTR with none of our beloved characters

If only they had a long running TV series about detectives who investigate crime, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders, to draw upon for material and inspiration.

And Netflix’s Daredevil hired precisely none of them.

“in a bout for cultural supremacy not seen since Volcano and Dante’s Peak came out in the summer.”

I’ve got a real soft spot for Matthew Fox so I’m glad to see him get back into acting again.

I’ve spent a combined 9 hours on reddit and twitter today, and this is still the stupidest fucking comment I’ve seen.

I have vague, positive memories of Troy, but admittedly they’re mostly focused on seeing Rose Byrne for the first time.

It was poignant but rather anticlimactic based on the early capture. I liked it overall and him getting caught was fitting. I like the call backs and the set-up for his pivot but I just can’t get beyond him trading his life away for redemption in Kim’s eyes vs. the potential to get out and have some % of a chance at…

He called his cinnabon to make sure the work schedule got put out and to tell them they needed new manager. What a mensch.

Except the suits, I don’t see much difference between Saul and Slippin Jimmy.

I thought it was a serviceable ending. I didn’t hate it, but I wasn’t captivated by it or anything.

The one misstep for me, was that scene where Saul is working out is plea deal and asks for Marie Schrader to sit in, and then he gives the “I was working under threat of death) spiel to her, and then like a switch is able to flip it off and reveal how coldly calculated he can be. Doing that, in that moment, in front…

not dissimilar! maybe a little cuddlier and a lot richer.
