Morgan of Hed

She doesn't, or at least if she does they were not on display. She was just clutching the neck without fingering a chord and strumming along in time occasionally, her instrument wasn't in the mix.

This. We had a neighbour who used to sit outside to chat and watch the kids play, always with a big glass of water. We never knew it was vodka until she was seperated from her kids, lost her driver's license, ordered into rehab ( never took) and of course forced to stop practising as a kids' dental surgeon. According to what I've since learned, she probably did her best work drunk since sober would have resulted in the shakes.

I don't get the criticism of characters making bad decisions in general. Is it out of character for an alcoholic, severely emotionally damaged person faced with a rehash of their worst nightmare to make some bad decisions? Not in the slightest. I get irked when characters act out of character. If they didn't make bad decisions we'd have no story, usually. If she was thinking clearly she'd have made sure he was dead after he got hit by the bus and we'd have had a completely different series.

If you like Tennant and haven't seen Broadchurch yet, you should remedy that posthaste.

My mileage certainly varied. I think it's the best thing Marvel's done yet, including all the movies.

I think knowingly dating a married person does make you a bad person. Not serial-killer bad, but still bad on a certain level.

Isn't Dave the one who didn't finish Daredevil? Clearly we have no common ground.

Regarding Simpson (DD comic spoilers):

Remind me again, was there some reason she couldn't just cold-clock him as they stood toe to toe in the cop shop? She now has all the witnesses she needs, so long as he's out cold and unable to make them erase the evidence.

From the department of redundancy department.

I'm primarily a kendo guy with a strong side of judo. I did a year of aikido, none of what they were doing looked like aiki-jo to me. Also the reference to an armbar defence to choke on the ground was not something I ever saw in aikido, that would be more along the lines of judo or BJJ. Aiki-jo in most aikido dojo is primarily used to enforce the empty-hand techniques. This episode made it seem like aikido is all about jo but in my admittedly limited experience that's not the case. Also, like most have said this episode was boring and unnecessary. I could have written 80% of it just based on what we already knew about Morgan.

I'm out. I just can't take the idiocy anymore. Not to mention the pathetic fight choreography - sparring in glasses, really?

Her post-bomb look included mostly intact perfect make-up with a few streaks of cheek-highlighting dirt. She's just ridiculously beautiful, so I guess they've made the creative choice to only ever dirty her up artistically.

Mormon guy had to go shoot season 2 of Sense8, I speculate.

I tried to give it a chance but Kring hasn't improved it any since it descended into suckage last time around. Such a promising first season, gone to shit and reincarnated as shit.

OK, so I exaggerated. She still has a model's build, not a fighter's. It's just a trope that is getting tired for me. Martial arts is not magic.

Le sigh. Another 105 lb waif who's supposed to kick the asses of multiple opponents twice her size.

Saw the 2nd show and was unimpressed. The interview with Musk was horrible. Musk was being a little pissy but so was Colbert - you could see he didn't like being corrected one little bit. All the non-interview bits fell flat for me. They keep talking about how amazing the band is, but as we don't get to listen to them I don't care. The more I watch this show, the more I wish they'd given Ferguson the gig. This show is now lumped in with all the other new talk shows for me, I will watch if I have nothing better to do and the guest is interesting.

Paul Janeway (Paul and the Broken Bones), Ben Folds, Derek Trucks (the other guitar guy), Susan Tedeschi (Trucks' wife, blues singer), Aloe Blacc ("I need a dollar"), Kyle Resnick (trumpet) and Ben Lanz (trombone). I confess I only recognized Brittany, Mavis, Buddy, Paul and Folds, although I know who Tedeschi and Blacc are. Sure would have been nice to see Colbert going after Bush a little harder.

Her criticisms boil down to what a lot of us have said: just give us the dance, we don't need to hear it's about some tragic life issue to appreciate it. In the extreme cases like Mia's Dead Dad Dance, the story effectively disallows criticism of the dance itself. However having said all that, I still can enjoy the show.

The hip-hop community must be really excited to get the endorsement of a 66 year old British guy. Loved JaJa's solo tonight. I also really liked Megz & Hailee together. All the other duets were meh for me.

JaJa gets by a lot on her sparkling personality, mobile face, acting ability and general cuteness. It doesn't seem like she's been hit with anything overly challenging technically, or maybe she just makes it look easy. It wouldn't shock me to see her win. Top 4 will be her, Virgil, Jim & Gaby; I'm OK with any of them winning. PS I love her solos.

Michonne? Carol? How are these horribly written characters that make you wish they would die? I don't see this pattern of horrid writing for females that you see.

To be fair, so was Hailee's solo. In fact during auditions I seem to recall thinking "oh, so they're putting through another bland blonde competition dancer". She's really turned my opinion around so I think being able to choreograph yourself is a nice but not necessary talent for the show.

If you can't get it from Black Widow, Lucy and Lost in Translation, mayhap that's the wrong game for you. How about "first name means 'Red'"?
