  1. in the current episode, she says "if you threw a stapler at me you'd be dead, like scott rudin." to which sal says "is he dead?" and the reply was "professionally." fun fact, when i first interned on the paramount lot in 1997, our office was about 30 yards from rudin's side door and the interns and assistants routinely would escape from there and come into our reception area to cry. we didn't have much going on and used to hear horrific stories, mostly about him throwing stuff at people, so this hits close to home. not for me, but for people that i briefly knew a few decades ago.
  2. when i lost it, i didn't pitch anything. i didn't stage a nutty. i fought you, i lost, i had a drink, i took a shower. because that's how it is in the nba. you know what i do when i win? 2 drinks. amy gardner needed more episodes.
  3. agreed. i'm also glad they did not have anything to do with finding/catching the shooter. they're not detectives and this isn't criminal minds. instead they made it about the snap-decisions these doctors have to do when assessing someone's mental state. his own mother tricked him into coming to the hospital, and mckay had her own shit swirling in her head about who people are and what they're capable of. she did what she thought was right at the time and had to deal with it. same as robby (with langdon). he's doing (or will do) what he thinks is right. their little chat outside, did not go great. also, back to the shooter - we all know that most of the time these mass shooters kill themselves or get shot by law enforcement. often that is the ideal ending for them (suicide by cop, etc). i had never ever heard of a shooter going to the hospital where the victims were. i could see maybe if there was a specific target he had and needed to finish the job or something, but that seemed strange to me that anyone would assume, much less prepare for some sort of likely/inevitable conclusion, that shit would ultimately go down at the hospital. glad it didn't.
  4. which begs the question - if you haven't watched girls5eva, what are you waiting five?
  5. whomever cast that woman deserves an emmy.
  6. so the show that last aired 2 years ago has a movie coming out in 13 months? sweet.
  7. colin from accounts. it's got 2 seasons (so far) on par+ and has a catastrophe/trying vibe. the two main characters are married in real life and co-created the show. i am making a suggestion, but it would be cool if this turned into a recommendation thread of not-often-talked-about shows. it's especially hard to find any good 30 min comedies these days.
  8. my feeling was that the $100k would be more as a "gift" to "suggest" silence would be the best idea. $5m definitely makes it a mutual binding agreement, even without the paperwork. once they came in with a high offer, he probably got scared that she would actually say something if he didn't pony up.
  9. he deserved to live after his hero dad raced over to him and started performing cpr like a champ until he dramatically came back to life. or he just held him and pouted until he somehow woke up on his own. i like jason isaacs a lot but very disappointed with how they handled his character most of the season.
  10. the "big twist" was that scott glenn was actually rick's dad, which was a twist that most everyone saw coming. there weren't really any other twists. after the delay getting the phones back, i kept waiting for everyone to die (except lochlan) and then for him to find out that the legal shit went away. why else wait until the boat to get them back? i understand that this is how white lotus works, and i'm sure it'll be the same in s4, but the "shocking incident + 7 days earlier card" only worked well in the first one (coffin being loaded onto a plane). this would've been a better season if you had no idea what would happen at the end. just tell your shit on a linear timeline. nothing about that opening scene ever takes someone on the fence and gets them invested.
  11. it's always been 7.
  12. it looks like police squad is only streaming on daily motion -> if you've never seen the shows, they're well worth the time.
  13. fixed. it's not about him, it's about the redhat morons. most of them would prefer to suffer economically as long as it means owning the libs. that's their one policy platform. nothing is about what 'actually happens', it's about how dems react to it. every fox news chyron is about the dem response, not the action. text chain circus? "democrats lose minds over supposed "security breach". that's how news is covered now. takeaway - "i don't know what hegseth is doing, but it's making the democrats upset so i like it."
  14. a trump bible?
  15. oh hey i got a save. our roto didn't do that i don't think.
  16. btw, i like the reds and the nlc is a tossup, but apparently everybody and their dog is betting on cincy o total wins this year, so my play was purely contra.
  17. he checks a lot of boxes. he's 27, which is the age where things tend to click for guys who haven't found it yet. he's a former top pick, so you have to assume that at some point he had a combination of natural talent, makeup, and ability (i assume he can be coached, who knows). he's also on the tigers, who had last year's cy young award winner, who rose from relative obscurity, at age 27. also he's killing it this spring. which to me means close to nothing. but rather he be killing it than getting blowed up. and for "breakout", your description seemed to match guys 25+ who haven't broken through, not some rookie who's highly touted and is just now getting his shot.
  18. man, forget vibes, this is a straight up reimagining of the player. even down to the long, continuous shot at the beginning.
