    I doubt they even had 96 hours of oxygen in there. They just tell people that to make them feel better.

    Journalist who had been on the sub said they had carbonmonoxide scrubbers, like on space flights.  Then a backup system, which is more Carbon monoxide scrubbers, which they would hang from the ceiling like fly paper.  Then there was a third backup which I can't recall, but the key takeaway is that the 96 hour thing had never been tested.  They just added up the hours that each scrubber said it worked for.

    Here we go. Gonna be another great weekend. 
     

    we shall see how dry they let the course get to try and freeze the scoring. 

    I’d like a dry green, Mr. Quoc, a very dry green. A very dry, arrid, barren, desiccated, veritable dustbowl of a green. I want a green that could be declared a disaster area.  Make me such a green.

    There's a simple question you could answer and that I've asked more than once with nobody addressing it. Saying you're wrong over and over just shows you're an asshole and can't argue your point. Mattson "securing the votes" is meaningless. They were losing. It wasn't about 'securing." They needed to flip a vote or is that too complex for you to grasp?

    I can kind of see your point that it was a tad bit sloppy at the end.  It's not clear how Tom immediately knew it was Greg who leaked, because several folks were aware of the CEO issue.

    I find it hard to believe that Mattson could have convinced a just-betrayed Shiv to switch her vote in the limo ride to the meeting (the kids went straight from learning Tom was the guy to the meeting.  They did ride in separate cars, so the call could have been made).

    But in no way did the writers telegraph that Shiv's vote switch was anything but an emotional reaction to seeing Kent in his dad's chair, and recoiling.

  4. Fan of the show from the first episode.  The "wealth porn" as someone aptly phrased it was phenomenal.  All four seasons.  It was the little things, like showing the cast getting out of their cars to walk to the Italian villa, helicopter, or whatever, that made viewers feel like they were rolling with these rich cats.  One of my favorite scenes were the women in season three walking to Caroline's party in that quaint Tuscan village.

    And the acting was fantastic.  I was stoned watching the final episode, and usually when like that, the obviousness of the acting in movies/shows just leaps out.  With these guys, I could still buy in.  Everyone of those actors were outstanding.  I think my favorite scene of all was the dinner with Kendall and Logan at the end of season 3, esp starting at about the 3 minute mark.

    The way you know Tom and Shiv had talked and he knew he had the votes was that when Hugo approached Tom before the meeting, Tom looked right past him and asked about Karolina.

     

    That occurred after the Board meeting

    Yam Yam was likeable and persuasive.  He gets no credit from me for being a "you write my name down you go home" , and gets away with it, player.  That is almost always a losing strategy.

  7. I'll give Heidi credit for doing whatever she could at the end to get votes, but she was basically a mouse the entire game (unless it's editing).  I thought Yam yam played a masterful game.  He was never really threatened, and basically kept everyone in line with his social skills.  And you gotta respect his mantra of executing anyone who voted for him.  At one point someone said to him that she had never voted for him, and he said he was so glad, as she would be on the jury now.  Good stuff.  Well-earned win.

    Nah - rewatch Colin’s face after Ken leaves.

    That’s a “Your old man would be doing exactly the same thing” smirk of approval.

    And how animated his voice got when Ken “jokingly” asked why’s a man like Colin wasting his time like sensitive boy talking about feelings instead of being a man of action?

    Logan saw Colin as his “best pal” - no indication Colin felt the same.

    He’s a military man - but his squad The Roy Empire.

    The king is dead, long live the king.

    Colin has his new king and his new mission.

    You didn't address Shiv's fat eyelids

    Thanks for posting.  Some crazy stuff in there. 

    Backs up what a lot of BIG people have said about Warren- politician who is all about appearances.

    It's crazy that the BIG is even considering paying him a bonus after the way this was handled.  

    Also- where was the BIG's general counsel and the Presidents when Warren was giving NBC night games and the CCG without the ability to do so ?  

    It's stunning that no one caught this.  Did no one read the deal ?

    Interesting article.  The most jaw-dropping thing for me is that the Big Ten Network (majority owned by Fox) owns the content, not the conference.  Fox execs attending negotiation sessions with rival networks.  They can't do deals without Fox's sign-off.  It's mind-boggling that the conference agreed to this arrangement.

    Man, Heidi really fucked that up.

    If she was going to play her idol, then all she had to do to guarantee a Tikka 3 went home was vote with Jaime and Lauren for Carolyn. It leads to 3-3 tie, putting Yam-Yam and Carson in a position where they either have to vote Carolyn on the re-vote or it’s a another tie between Jaime and Carolyn where the only people drawing rocks are Yam-Yam and Carson.

     

    Really good call-out that I did not catch.

    Thinking this is Yam Yam's game

    That was a 2 second google search. anyone who know anything about that time knows Mizzou was the first school to make overtures to the B10 re expansion. this has been discussed. heck chip browns anniversary article was out recently, recounting the timeline.  

    No one has argued against that.  What's being challenged is the claim that B1G was going to invite Mizzou.

    The timeframe for the "dream sequence" was probably less than an hour in real time, and Barry's going to die at Moss' hand.  It was a reverse Dallas.  They showed Barry's fantasy dream sequence as a way to show the future for the other characters, sans Sally.  Now, we zoom back to the present.  Moss bagged Barry at he and Sally's apartment at the end of S4E4. Sally's "Let's go" was the trigger for the start of Barry's dream.  Maybe she didn't really say that (and it was all in Barry's head), but, like Cousineau, she leads him to Moss and Moss takes it from there.

    That seems like a solid guess to me.  Been scratching my head the past few episodes.  Like others have said, not feeling this season.

    This show is in the S tier of shows it does it purely with dialogue no action, murder, science fiction, etc. Just great writing. As said above best show on television and it’s not close. 

    My favorite of this season:

    Who wants to smell Greg's finger, huh?  Guess the scent.  Win a buck,

    I'll ask again:  Does anyone know what's in the files Tom instructed Greg to delete?

    Not sure, but I think they were files about the plan to fire Cyd.  It was Logan's directive, and I think Tom knows he's fucked running ATN without her.

    And yes, that was Colin his "fixer", his bodyguard, etc. the one who got Kendall out of the mess with killing the drug partner in the car.

    Colin was the one person in his life who wasn't always angling to get something from Roy. That's why he considered him his best friend, imo.  But it also shows the quality of Roy's relationships when his fixer is his best "friend".

    He won't get a coat. And he needs to finish inside the top 12 to get an invitation back next year. Kid's got game, but this could be his first and only chance at Augusta.

    Never tempt the golf gods.

    I didn't totally believe he actually said that, so just googled for video...and the dumbf-ck actually did!

    certainly not peak sergio.  as long as he is prepared to hit, it shouldn't bother them. It's when you fuck around for 2 minutes figuring out your shot/club and then do that.

    I dunno.  It bugged me, and I'm just a spectator.

    The TV broadcast hasn't started on ESPN -- they're not allowed to show much (if any) golf on ESPN until 2 central, I think. The only places to see live action is in the app, at Masters.com or on ESPN+.

    Who's old enough to remember when CBS was only allowed to televise the back 9 on Saturday and Sunday?  That was it or tv coverage.

    As for general disrespect, trash talking or taunting, waiting to do that when the game is over (by the clock or the score) is weak. If you are going to talk trash, it should be starting with tip off. Don't wait until it's over.  

     

  20. My initial assumption to Kendall's reaction to the Mattson call wasn't that he sensed weakness, rather that Mattson had become another Logan figure, dismissing Kendall, telling him not to make waves or else, etc.  Kendall said, fuck this.

    Roman is actually showing more business acumen than either of his siblings.  He understood the potential of what Mattson had built, handled a delicate one-to-one meeting with Mattson in Season 3 well, was the only sibling who kept his head during the Pierce negotiations.  He still bows to his older siblings, but I can see why Logan would sincerely want him on his team.
