She put on a dress and everything! I'm not really a shipper, but I want to watch interesting characters. Jesse isn't really all that interesting. There hasn't been much time to develop her and Rick is already clearly into her. It doesn't make much sense from Rick, who is closed off and slow to trust and there hasn't been anything special in her personality to explain his level of interest. Carol is a terrifying badass. Once that kid showed up, I think she made the best of the situation. Its a horrible thing but how else does she maintain her place in the community?

I was listening to Heart On Fire again because I love those Stella sisters and that song is about Rayna, right? The song is all about a once fearless women hurt by love and needs to find herself again. I love how well it fits her and how it suited the Opry performance. This show has its cringy moments but the music on this show is so smart.

I went all in for Jayla last week and I am so glad I did. First off, they are hot together. More importantly, their storyline is about music and breaking out in the current music scene. As much as their personal stuff was entertaining, I loved all the business talk. I think the "behind the scenes" music industry stuff is what makes this show unique so seeing it finally for the first time in a long time was thrilling. The fact that they have chemistry for days only makes pay closer attention to everything they do. In general the music tonight was amazing! I love the Conrad sisters and have been listening to that song for a while so I'm glad that's what they sang for their Opry debut. The Exes have finally gelled for me and I loved that performance. I'm not a huge fan of Rayna but throwing Deacon in made for a much more interesting and emotional performance. I didn't hate Luke because he acted like a mature adult, the Dr. Boyfriend didn't bug and I'm actually interested in Will and his songwriting partner because, Like I already said, music business stuff is interesting. I'm glad we made some forward motion on the cancer storyline because I'm over it and I love Laura Benanti, but Sadie really is off on her own island and its just a waste. Teddy, too, is a waste and I can't believe I missed half a song to deal with his escort drama.

I love Riblet. He makes me laugh and he destroys Jost and Che by nailing his delivery while they fumble week after week. Bobby is amazing. I only hope Riblet doesn't replace Drunk Uncle because I love both characters soooo much. It was a mess, but Worf MD made me laugh. It was silly fun. I also enjoyed Brave because I wish I'd love to just say what I'm thinking some of the time. Also I thought the Kanye rap had a few really good lines and I actually liked the cold open. When I put it all out there like that, I guess I liked the show. It wasn't spectacular but there was enough good to make it worth my time.

That moment in the Oval Office where Frank drops his folksy aww-shucks accent and rips into Claire is one of the best things Kevin Spacey has ever done and its not like we're pulling from a short list. He was incredible. The season had some uneven moments for sure but that's what I'll remember. It was claustrophobic and intense. Best scene of the entire season.

It'll be nice to see one of them know what they're doing. I feel for Mark too. He's actually grown on me quite a bit these past few seasons and he's done a very thoughtful job working with women who ask for certain rules and standards to be applied to how they dance and dress. But just like when I feel for Tony or Tristan for getting stuck with a "type" of contestant, I feel for Mark. These pros (save Alison) are all amazing ballroom dancer with years of training and technique. They have incredible skillsets that I could never even dream of. They all have to dumb down their dancing as a part of this show, but when a pro gets the same type over and over they don't get to use all the tools in their toolbox. Mark is 28 years old - maybe he wants to do sexy rumba. Maybe he's got a great idea for a sensual Argentine Tango. But when he's given stars with similar requirements season after season, it stifles him. I'd rather see all the pros get different types each season. It think it would create more interesting choreography and better dynamics between the partnerships if the pros were challenged and afforded the opportunity to do something different. I'm so ready for this. Its easy to cover just how little ballroom she knows in an edited sequence but there will be no editing so we will finally know just how much she picked up from those lessons with Derek. I can't imagine its going to look or sound like a session with Emma or Sharna.

I kind of love them too. They do a good job balancing each other out and making both characters more interesting. I do think Oliver Hudson and Aubrey Peeples have good chemistry and Jeff and Layla are both pretty screwed up people so I get why they're drawn to each other. In addition, that scene of them bonding at the music festival a while back sold me on Jeff caring about her music. That being said, if Jeff wasn't smart enough to get a signed contract from Luke he probably isn't smart enough to run a new label. Why he would move forward and do any work for Luke before getting his own ducks in a row makes no sense. Of course, all we've seen of Jeff is him being bad at business so I guess at the very least its in character. I'm so over Gunnar. I'd rather he just exist in the background, performing at the Bluebird while meetings and drama go on around him. I can't stand that he's moping around his house rather than getting back on his feet and being happy that he still has family. Also, I love that Micah lived there a few months so now he has to move, but he bought the house to live with Zoey and he never once has mentioned missing her while being there. I don't need another character to come back, but I wish Gunnar or Scarlett would acknowledge they missed her while they're both dealing with their huge issues.

On the upside, I have a very hard time imagining a showmance between Val and . That'll be a nice change after last season.

I am so sad because this episode made me love Jim and Leslie and that's a pointless love. We know that Jim and Barbara will get back together to make Batgirl so its a question of when and how this nice thing that makes me smile will be taken away. It seems like they've made her too good a match so she's either going to turn evil or die. (Or turn evil and die, that would also put an end to Jim/Leslie.) I'm so sad. I did like the kid Joker if that's who he ends up being. He had the right mix of creepy, evil, violent and joking. It was always obvious it would be him, but I did think the actor nailed that final scene. Bruce isn't the world's greatest detective just yet, is he? He has theories and they're strung together based on some events but he should have had a smoking gun before talking to the board. He's a powerful kid, but he is just a kid and he is vulnerable. I get that he wants to honour his family legacy by cleaning up the crime within WE but I don't know what his speech and questions was meant to accomplish. Was he hoping someone would confess? Did he actually expect answers to his loaded questions? It just seems like everyone else is basically who they will be in 15 years time and Bruce has so much growing up to do. I like that he isn't Batman yet, but if the show wants to go that course the other young comic characters like Cat or Ivy should also need to mature.

Lots of gay people have slept with the opposite sex at some point in their lives. Jamal having slept with one woman or many women at some point isn't that out there. Here he has his father who is a womanizer as his main male role model. He feels pressure form his family and his community to be straight. Him sleeping with Olivia in an effort to try to be straight or because he wasn't sure how he felt is very much in line with a common experience in the gay community. How is Rhonda worse than Andre who threatened to kill Vernon or Vernon who assaulted Andre? I get she's devious, but so far her actions have been the least offensive of this trio.

Yes, it was. Its not something I heard alot of during the trial because at the point it seemed like most people had shifted to hating OJ, but before when he did movies and commercials I heard it all the time. Nothing felt more 90s to me than seeing the court footage of that trial. They announced the verdict over the PA system at my elementary school. Details like an OJ subplot are what really ground this show for me.

Henry's face when he found Jo holding the baby was perfect. Ioan nailed that. It was full of caring and love without being over the top. I totally believe their connection without the show writing anything over the top because Ioan and Alana nail the little moments. I know on procedurals this sort of thing gets dragged out for years and years but we probably don't have that kind of time, so I'd like to see them get together before the year is up. I tend to think that this show and these actors could make the relationship work if it did get a second season.

Disney will. They bought Lucasfilms for the two properties that come with it, Star Wars and Indiana Jones. They moved quickly on Star Wars and its good business to move forward on Indy. I love Chris Pratt, but I think he's a bad idea here. It's one franchise too many and people will get sick of him. A reboot makes sense and with a good script would make huge money.

I saw it over the weekend and I wasn't a big fan. Never mind the controversies, I just don't think the film was well done. The plastic babies, the continuity issues, the climatic battle scene that was impossible to see, the matrix bullet that didn't match the tone of any other part of the film and Sienna Miller saying "Chris!" over and over again into a cell phone. I think Bradley Cooper was the right lead and he's the only thing holding the movie together but Eastwood and the script both let him down.

I also just returned from seeing The Theory of Everything and I do so agree with you. Jones was spectacular and its very much her performance that touched me. I took a shine to Pike's Amazing Amy (she was my book Amy, exactly how I imagined her when I read the novel a few years back) and then this performance by Jones was so moving. Julianne has always been a great actress, but she better bring it if she's so out in front of these two. I have a hard time believing its a runaway.

I assume that Pawnee is a very large city in terms of area ever since the merge with Eagleton. Pawnee was never a tiny town (7th largest in Indiana according to Leslie early on in the show) and Eagleton, while smaller and more elite in population, probably had sizeable land. I think the city being big following a merge is very believable.

I saw this yesterday and loved it. It was certainly hard to watch at moments but it was truly special. The acting was superb. I thought Lorraine Toussant was touching and both Oyelowo and Ejogo brought two complicated characters to life. Of all the "award bait" movies I've seen so far, this is probably my favourite. The direction and script were tight and interesting. This was a big success. As for the LBJ controversy, what are these people talking about? He's shown as a shrewd political mind who knows whats right from wrong but also knows that he only has so much political capital. I'm not as well versed on his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, but from seeing this film, he seems like someone who was on the side of good.

The only reason I've always considered the dropped ball intentional is because earlier in the film they show some random player running Dottie down the same way and she manages to hold on to the ball. Putting that moment in the movie makes me think that Dottie dropping the ball for her sister was because she wanted Kit to get a win. So frustrating!

I agree with the people above me who are asking what the point of starting a new firm was? FA has become LG in every way except for Will. Same offices, same staff, same investigator (did we ever find out where Robin ran off to?), same clients and same problems. As fas as I can tell, the firm has 20 partners and no associates. About a dozen staff left with Cary and Alicia, add Clarke who I miss dearly, Diane brought over Taye Diggs and six more, plus Howard and David Lee. How are they surviving financially? Plus, for all the things revealed to Alicia in that strange sexism fight, no one told her they lost Chum Hum. Now they don't have Chum Hum, they don't have Bishop. How are they paying their bills? Honestly, I think the writers have forgotten that FA isn't LG. The way that Diane and Cary were talking to David Lee about "not being happy since he left" and about "coming back." That's not what happened! I did really like everything going on in Peter's storyline tonight, which doesn't happen often for me. Nora was lifegiving the way she called Eli out over and over again. I thought the scene in the car between Peter and Pastor Isaiah was so well done. Both actors really brought it. As for Peter and Ramona, I'm pretty sure firing someone because you got caught having sex with them is not okay but that's never stopped Peter so I'm not at all surprised by it.

I've never seen a historical drama that is 100% accurate but somehow this not being spot on is National News worthy? What? LBJ was a huge ally for civil rights and if someone wants to make a movie about him, go for it. This movie is about MLK and telling his story is more important than nitpicking over small historical details.

Hard to say if the offer gets rescinded. For a big enough name, the producers are likely to overlook things and is a pretty big name.

Its a line from Beyonce's ***Flawless. Its all about female power so I love that they used it to tie into the episode where Eliza embraces herself.

Like Sheldon, sometimes she's offensive without understanding and other times she knows she's offending but she doesn't care. Sheldon and Mary are very alike and just like I think Sheldon often knows when he's being rude I think the same thing is true of his mother. A polite person, when faced with someone from a different religion with dietary restrictions wouldn't say "I hope that isn't one of the animals you people think is magic." There's a way to say "can you eat this?" without crapping on someone else's beliefs. Mary just doesn't care enough to do so.

Mary Cooper knows exactly what she's doing, she just doesn't care. Sheldon didn't get the way he is in a vacuum. Mary knows the things she says are awful and offensive, but she believes that she's right so doesn't care. She's not educated, but we've seen over and over again that she gets people so there's no reason for her not to understand when she's offended someone.

Sure, but that doesn't mean that these two are right for every musical theatre role out there and that's how Hollywood treats them. For example, I love Audra. She is a Broadway Queen, but you can't throw her in every single female role on Broadway and expect success. She'd make an awful Reno Sweeney. Her voice doesn't suit the part and she's not anywhere near the dancer Sutton is. And Sutton, for all her skills, wouldn't be able to pull off Bess even if you factor out race. That's the problem that Hugh and Anne get. They both are very talented but not every peg fits into every single hole. Now, I know that without big names Musicals won't get made into films. I don't expect Sutton Foster or Audra McDonald to get cast as the lead in a film, but it would be nice if Hollywood directors and producers would look at their own bodies of work and see that there are other people out there who can sing and dance besides Anne and Hugh. It would be nice if Hollywood was a little creative on this front.
