Wasn't Jubal suspended once before, or did I just dream that? Maybe it had something to do with his alcohol problem?

This is very helpful! Thanks for the link.

Lucienne getting knocked over by the door "unexpectedly" opening and dropping her gun was ridiculous. The two of them totally botching the operation and then standing around congratulating themselves for not getting hurt was also ridiculous. What about the poor guy at the piano with a bullet in his head! I did enjoy the sniping at Not Musk though.

He gave up his arm for MONEY, so no sympathy from me. Maybe Caitlin figures he'd be better off in prison than with Eve, and I don't disagree with that. Is it just me, or is there something disturbing about Nick's face? The top half doesn't seem to go with the bottom half.

That doesn't really make sense to me since he would have known what the Taliban's moves would be even before putting the whole kidnap plot in motion. Plus I think the enclave was well aware that they were always in danger and the lithium mine was just a temporary stop-gap measure. You don't get to be an Old Man in Afghanistan without knowing your enemies well.

What the hell was that death match between Emily/Angela and Hamzad?! I just don't understand why a father would go to such effort to reunite with his child and then try to kill her. She had no choice in leaving and apparently her "loving" mother lied to her about her whole life. And then Hamzad decides to keep her safe in the cave hideout like the fight never happened.

I thought he looked like over-the-hill Hitler.

Wonderful interview with Ben Daniels in the NY Times television section!

Bill has his very own op-ed in today's NY Times, with his views on who the Democrats should run instead of Biden.

On the Home screen that's the only option under Settings?

I had the same problem with huge subtitles on an Acorn show on Roku and found out the following: On your Roku remote, Navigate to Settings. Select Accessibility. Proceed to the Caption style. Then, Text size. After this one, select your preferred text size.

Santiago insisted to the audience that none of it was real, he even gave a little speech before the Grand Finale that what they were about to see was fake. And I'm sure the entire company was working some kind of mind meld stuff to affect their memories. Why not? It seems like everyone in the show, vampire and mortal, has had their memories tweaked to the point where we're all being told stories by Unreliable Narrators. Not one character wants to face the truth for immortality; that's a long time to live with whatever evil they've done. I would like to see more of that vampire production of Waiting for Godot!

That was riveting and brutal. I don't even like Claudia, but her defiance at the end was amazing. The whole trial had a subtle nod to "A Matter of Life and Death", one of my favorites. Ben Daniels has been delicious all season! Sam Reid is one of the most beautiful creatures on earth....

There's an op-ed piece by Maureen Dowd all about how wonderful Bill is in Saturday's NYT. I gave up on him a while ago, but if you're interested in his daily diet, among other things, enjoy.

No, the credits roll uninterrupted. A lot of the older movies have the credits before the movie starts, but I guess now with so many credits for cgi artists, animators, food service providers, accountants etc. half the audience would be asleep before the action started!
