  1. So far I am really enjoying this season. I just binged season 1 and it is so frustrating to now have to wait a week for each new episode, after watching 13 in a row. I may need to watch the UK or AUS series in between new episodes dropping. My main questions going forward are can Dan adapt to the info he received about being too quiet and go back to under the radar, and what will Alan wear next?
  2. I loved every second of this season. I have watched Top Chef from season 1, episode 1 to today. I enjoyed every season, most for very different reasons, but I have always looked forward to the new season. This was the best season ever. I loved seeing everyone's food from around the world, especially Africa and the Middle East. My favorite chef this season was Sara, I love big bold flavors and I love her personality. She has been one of my favs for a lone time. If I am ever in neck of the woods I would drive hours out of my way to eat at her restaurant, The only other chef that really touched my heart was Begona, from Spain. I will research where her restaurant is and then try to find a season to go then eat everything on her menu. Seriously.
  3. I loved the second episode too! It seemed like it was over so quickly, and that is how I rate shows. Does it keep my interests fort the whole time. Less about whether it is historically accurate. I am especially enjoying some of the minor characters, loving Beatrice, the Duke and even the duke's sister, Sam, (the other Colbourne) looks entertaining and Augusta and Leo are still quite the pair. I like their dynamic. Mrs. Wheatley is adorable and Authur is a doll. I love that I am enjoying every story line and can't wait for next week. Unfortunately, I Googled Sanditon on YouTube to see what type of coverage they have and saw a lot of spoilers in the titles of the videos. So, I would not recommend that if you want to stay spoiler free. :)
  4. I just loved it!! I did not expect it to be as good as it was. I enjoyed season 1 mostly for the Esther and Lord Babington plot lines. Loved those two. (Took me forever to notice that the actor playing Lord B, also played Gren on Game of Thornes) Theo James just did not do much for me. But season 2, I enjoyed for the main plotline, Charlotte and Colbourne do it for me! Loved the main plot but not Esther's as much. For season 3 I feel like it is all coming together. I like the Dr and the Vicar's sister, Lady Denham and the investor, Augusta and Edward? I feel like the first episode set up the series really well and I look forward to lots of action, intrigue and passion!!
  5. I am so glad Chris is back to work at AMC. At least that is what I have read today. I did not think the issues Chloe brought up were abuse or abuse of power and I am glad AMC agrees. A lot of people stood up for Chris during this situation and I hope he heard it all and understands how many people thought he had gotten a raw deal.
  6. I thought the documentary was good, it kept my attention and it was nice to see the 'old' Robin again, laughing and getting the attention he craved. You could sometimes see the sad side of Robin in some movies, like Good Will Hunting. He showed the pain of loosing his wife so realistically you could tell he knew what personal pain felt like in his soul. I get confused about the disease, Lewy Body Dementia. I get that it is a type of dementia but in the documentary Bobcat was saying, "His brain was lying to him." What was his brain saying to him that upset him or am I not understating the situation?
  7. I am not sure exactly why, but seeing Bill Hader and Henry Winkler nominated for Emmys today warmed my cold, cold heart this morning. I am so happy for them both. I am glad to see this show get some recognition, it is highly deserved. The acting (and the writing) were awesome.
  8. Wow. That was so intense. I loved the way it was written to get everyone’s perspective and how the main characters perspective on the past changed once she saw a picture of herself at 13 and how small/young she really was. Not the young teen budding into womanhood that she originally saw in her mind, but a prepubescent child. The acting is so good by everyone, this is one show that will stick with you because it is so disturbing and you can see how it could really happen, that it did really happen to the gal who wrote it.
  9. Wow! I didn’t think they would go there, but again, they did. It felt so weird when they switched to the country with all of the daylight. They killed the most relatable character! The actress was excellent in the role. Oh poor Gene. I guess that is one way to clear the cast for a new big bad and a new detective for season two. I hope Hank makes it into the next season.
  10. I think I need To rewatch the whole season before the finale. I was half paying attention during some of the earlier episodes and probably missed a lot This show just got better and better as the weeks went by. I am so glad I stuck with it. It is now my favorite show I look forward to, and it is over on Sunday!! I hope it doesn’t take forever to come back for season 2, and I hope lots of people hear the buzz about how good this show is and tune in.
  11. Best episode so far. I am glad I did not give up on this show. That was intense, so good. Love seeing Henry Winkler act in role he can really sink his teeth into. Glad he has this opportunity with the great writing. I bet he is enjoying the crap out of it.
  12. I have not been a big fan in the past but I have really enjoyed the first two episodes of this new season. It feels like a re-set, a good one. I cared about what was going to happen next and that is a new feeling. I like the new Maggie Grace character and the cowboy. I am cautiously optimistic about this season!
  13. I just watched this. I only know him really from The Princess Bride but this kept my attention the whole length of the documentary. It was very good , a story about someone who made the best out of what life gave him but was human. I really enjoyed it and I am not a wrestling fan. it showed areal human dealing with extrodinary experiences I just read that Vern Troyer passed away. Probably two sides of the same coin. How do you live in a world not made for your size?
  14. In watching the second time I have a question. We see that Gypsy Rose knew that her mom was lying about her ability to walk. Gypsy Rose knew to hide it. Why did she think she was hiding it? Was reason did her mom give her? The answer to this question could impact how I see this documentary and I am not sure if I missed the explanation on the show.
  15. Wow,that was a twisted, f'd up story. I would have liked to hear more about the mom and what drove her to this behavior. Bouncing checks and a tarantula did not explain much, but then again, what could explain that level of disception? When your entire family wants to flush your ashes down the toilet, you know you have not led anything close to a decent life. The boyfriend's story was sad and scary at the same time. How in the world did these two find each other? A schizoid, BDSM enthusiast vampire wannabe and a manipulated, victimized woman/child. I was not sure if Gypsy was being honest in her jailhouse interviews or just saying what she thought she was supposed to in her situation. I am curious how others perceived it. Is Gypsy now the manipulator? Does she know anything else?
  16. Thank you Giant Misfit, I followed your links and I am now hooked. I always found the subject interesting and this case is off the scale. I have a "friend" on Facebook that looks like she could be a candidate for Munchausen. She always is posting about some medical situation or another. It is hard to take the new situation with urgency when there have been so many. Perhaps I am jaded as I have a progressive, maybe fatal disease I deal with every day and I can not imagine putting the things put there she does. Anyway, I feel for this young woman and wish her the best. She had her whole youth stolen from her and she deserves better. I have the documentary now DVR'd and look forward to it
  17. I loved the show with James Corden! I thought the format worked really well and James was a fun guest. As has been the experience, the first half was more entertaining than the second, but I enjoyed the whole thing. The audience questions were better but I could do without all of the gift giving. James seems like a lovely fellow!
  18. I agree, the audience questions slowed the show down and was not as much fun as the first half. I still enjoyed the show but am glad I DVR it and can skip through the commercials. All three seemed like interesting people and I think I may start watching their show now. I think a lot of my enjoyment will depend on the guest. I have seen Bryan Cranston on other talk show and he has been a great guest. Very witty. I am looking forward to his episode.
  19. Here is who is coming up as quests in the first few episodes. Looks like the cast of Silicon Valley is on this Sunday, April 16th. I am really looking forward to the Jordan Peele and Charlie Hunnam shows. Guests confirmed to appear in upcoming episodes include Bryan Cranston, Damon Lindelof, the cast of Silicon Valley, Jordan Peele, Christina Ricci, Michelle Monaghan, Charlie Hunnam, Connie Britton and Justin Theroux.[4
  20. I enjoyed it! I liked being able to see an interview with an intelligent guest that wasn't the typical 5 minute interview that Includes a quick, cute antidote and then cute to commercial. I thought Elijah Wood was thoughtful with his answers and that he and Chris had a nice repore. Chris kept the interview moving but Elijah was allowed to answer questions fully and not be rushed. I am real curious to see who the other guests will be and look forward to the new shows.
  21. I really liked it! I am inclined to enjoy this in the first place, but I liked that they need to learn to work with a stranger while trying to complete tasks. It will be interesting to see who can adapt to their partner in a constructive way and who can not. I felt a little bit bad for the few who got partners they were not thrilled with, but there is your challenge. To quote Tim Gunn, make it work. I am not going to judge anyone too harshly on the first episode as I can only imagine how stressful it was to get a new partner and take right off for the first flight. The next episode should be interesting as the newness of the partnerships wears off and true natures emerge. I just wish it was on earlier, I will have to watch on Fridays.
  22. I am surprised at how many "stars" had multiple appearances as different characters. I guess I didn't notice it growing up. In watching the re-runs, I think I have seen Mrs. Roper three times and who is the gal that plays Gophers love on the Italian episode and next plays the wanna be model non the Norway episodes? I'm sure in real time they weren't so obvious, but when shown in the same week quite noticeable.
