When Saul handed to manila folder to Howard’s “PI,” I said, “I knew it.” Then I said it again. “I KNEW IT!” The magnifying glass on the post it board was about installing him. They dropped the hint with the photos of Saul picking up an unusually large sum of cash. Either Saul and Kim knew there were eyes on them and…

He is going to be forever known as the lawyer who had a drug problem and killed himself thus ruining the name HHM.  Now that is just cruel.

The fact she's from Omaha and that's where Saul is as Gene is surely not an accident. 

They might make it look like a suicide, which people would probably believe based on his last few weeks. *sniff* This is me best-case-scenario-ing this thing.

The saddest thing about it is that they are almost definitely going to “disappear” his body somehow, or dump it someplace, and the narrative will be that he died in some sort of drug business and his reputation will be ruined in his death.

I’ve been arguing for weeks that Howard isn’t that bad and people consistently call him a douchebag for reasons I can’t understand. He’s a little smarmy in his professional life but the way he interacts and treats people outside of work consistently paints the picture of a kind-hearted person.

I repeatedly see comments arguing that Howard didn’t deserve to go out in any sort of BrBa fashion, but was still a privileged douchebag lawyer. As I think about it, I really believe he is a prisoner of the circumstances he was born into, and every decision he makes or “douchebag” persona he puts on has always been an…

God that final scene made me scream holy fuck so loud I think my neighbors heard me. And now we have to wait 6 weeks to see what happens next!

DAMN! Now that is a fucking CLIFFHANGER.

Glad she’s being open about this. I’ve had motor tics (more noticeable than a lot of hers - jerking my head around, some facial tics, flexing my arms and wrists in particular ways, etc.) for years, and still get some odd looks. (Dating before I met my partner was also fun; I lost count of the number of times I got…

Chapelle also zeroed in on a disabled woman with a service dog at one of these shows and targeted her with questions about if she’d ever engaged in sex acts with the dog. Not even jokes, just a series of really explicit, demeaning questions while everyone laughed at her.

That is a really good point that I totally missed. Thank you for sharing it.

“For instance, if you were to see someone eating dessert within the first two minutes of the episode, they almost always finish the season.”

I agree, and I think the point is that Sally has been so self absorbed this and last season in seeking validation from this concept of an audience that understands her, that she missed a lot going on in her personal life. D’Arcy Carden’s character was a reminder to Sally that she already is being seen and heard by…

Showing my age, I’m sure, but for me Ironside will always be the deus ex mercenary who rallies the human resistance in the classic ‘80s sci-fi miniseries V, and its sequel V: The Final Battle.

“You killed all my buddies.” This cracked me up.

What the what??! I would not have recognized Michael Ironside (though I have seen him in other things lately I still think of him as dark hair, dark eyes, deep voice) but please, please—-more of him! The pitch from Barry to Sally was on point for his character. Other than being a paid assassin, the only things he does…

A pretty good write-up here. I’d say misogyny played much more than a parenthetical role - particularly regarding May’s treatment/career post-Ishtar. There were a ton of ego-driven, “auteurist” flops in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s (Heaven’s Gate, but also New York, New York; Sorcerer; One from the Heart; Second-Hand…

Ebert as a TV “thumbs up/thumbs down” guy maybe wasn’t that great and I often disagreed with him (but not as much as with Siskel who comically hated nearly every genre movie but loved even the most pretentious art film). But Ebert’s written reviews (for which he rightfully won a Pulitzer) were excellent and still…
