  1. Well, they can't play a 3 person tribe against 2 6-person tribes.
  2. I thought there was an outside chance Siga would lose since they went back in time to show Jenn finding the beware advantage.
  3. I'm wondering if we're mis-interpreting and the articles are over-emphasizing the phrase "added to the cast". I think some of these could be very brief appearances. Still waiting for news of Scott Bakula.
  4. You're allowed to, and I don't think you're alone. I certainly don't tune in to hate-watch. I've just found it extremely disappointing. Maybe that's the missing element, I need to be drinking when I watch.
  5. OMG, yes! The reviewer in the Daily Beast waxed rhapsodic about this episode for at least 10 paragraphs and I all I could think of was "What show are you watching?"
  6. This challenge turned out to not be boring.
  7. Is it just me or are there a lot of IT people this season?
  8. If they're just renewing it now, I wonder when it will air. They say this year, but it's been a summer show, and knowing how Hollywood operates I don't think that's possible.
  9. I was interested in seeing Noel Fielding in something else since I only know him through GBBO. I lasted about 10 minutes. It's like the skits at the beginning of the GBBO episodes, everything is wink, wink, nudge, nudge. I appreciate that there are different styles of comedy, but this one wasn't for me.
  10. Why not? Aren't we all here for Capote? I'd wager few people outside of NY society have ever heard of the swans before.
  11. Capote and Infamous both cover the research and writing of In Cold Blood, with slightly different takes using different source material. Infamous is based on the book of the same name by George Plimpton, and is the more gossipy version. I like them both.
  12. I'm really surprised that Harry didn't turn Joseph into the General. I kept thinking that he would walk out Harry's door and Linda Hamilton would be standing there with a bunch of guys with guns and an alien-holding paddy wagon.
  13. Because that's how it was advertised. Personally, I'm not interested in a never-ending war drama. One episode as background, OK. But (so far) four episodes out of ten? Too much.
  14. I have now seen additional articles where they say it will be a brief trip to LA before they circle back to to NYC. So, maybe 2-3 episodes at most? Just guessing. Remember, they're investigating Sazz's murder, and that happened at the Arconia.
  15. Checked out the IMDB link. That's not the movie, although there appear to be a lot of similarities. The one I'm thinking of is probably mid-late 2000's and stars an actress who plays a psychologist who moves to a somewhat remote community (PNW or Alaska). Under hypnosis, a lot of her patients report seeing an owl at the window as they're sleeping. Eventually she comes to believe they're being abducted and the large eyes of the owls are actually the large of eyes of aliens. Undoubtedly Grays. (You know, the assholes.) Found it! Who knew googling "owls aliens movie" would be so productive? It's The Fourth Kind. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220198/
  16. There is a movie whose name I can't remember where people remember an owl at the window and it turns out they've been abducted by aliens. I assumed that was what the show was referencing.
  17. I don't have the link, but in the last week or so I read an interview with an ABC exec (I think, could have been a Disney exec) who said they were happy with the viewing numbers for the broadcast airings as well as the number of people who later went to Hulu to watch the rest of the seasons. So, yes.
  18. Toby Jones has had some bad luck portraying famous people. In 2005/6 his excellent turn as Capote in Infamous was overwhelmed by Phillip Seymor Hoffman's Oscar winning performance as Capote in Capote. (Both of these movies focus on Capote's research and writing of In Cold Blood.) Then, in 2012, he was Alfred Hitchcock in The Girl (about the making of The Birds) In the same year Anthony Hopkins was Hitchcock in Hitchcock (about the making of Psycho). Jones had to be thinking "What are the odds of it happening twice?"
  19. I'm finding this series incredibly boring, something which I never thought I'd say about Truman Capote. I like the idea of Capote vs Gore Vidal, I think that would have been a more appropriate feud, similar to Davis vs Crawford. I think I'm out.
