wonderwoman

yup! that pretty much sums up this show — an on-going exercise in futility and frustration…

i noticed this one monday, and just checked the video to make sure i wasn’t hallucinating. but no, jon batiste was indeed wearing what looked like a wedding band. but last night and tonight, no ring. any thoughts?

little late here, as well. back in the day, the late night format was different: guests weren’t their simply to plug their latest project, so they stuck around. when the next guest came out, the first one simply moved over to make room. there was conversation between the guests as well as the host (talking about johnny carson, here). i really missed those days and was so hoping that billy porter could have stayed and chatted with annaleigh ashford since both were in ‘kinky boots.’ alas…

love that we got to see timothy and reggie. thought they might have forgotten about them.

so, meta? or just happenstance? burton: “i haven’t been a saint, olivia.’

love the new docs. and, on a shallow note, would love to know who picks out goodwin’s earrings.

exactly right! anyone who disagrees with the reagans must be portrayed with not a scintilla of validity to their point of view. and while it may have escalated in recent years, imho, it’s been there since season one.

Yes, IMO I think it did, since Frank is the PC and has to make tough decisions, but he always follows the law. Danny doesn't care about the law, as long as he gets the results he wants. It's been said he has been disciplined for it several times, and he has shown himself doing that many more times, and also compelling others to go outside the law too, to get the results he wants. how many times has frank ever said that he was wrong and mean it? and when has frank not behaved as though he thinks he knows more and better than anyone else in the world?

well, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree, now did it…

as soon as they mentioned the baby had been poisoned with antifreeze, i thought of this episode. couldn’t remember if it was svu or the mothership. i was yelling ‘you two can leave now.’

You might get your wish. I'm expecting this storyline to end in suicide. The shot of her other gun (supposedly her father's), the emphasis on how difficult it is right now to be a police officer, her convincingly deflecting Eddie's concern, and the Captain being a total dick to her set this up imo yeah, my first thought was ‘chekhov's gun.’ so while i was surprised that it wasn’t used by the time the show ended, i expect magnumfangirl will ultimately be proved right — it just may take a couple of episodes to get there.

looks like ames mcnamara had quite the growth spurt during the hiatus.

i felt the same way, but fully understand the decision.

sadly true — and he explained why. news item comes in @ 5:15, tape begins @ 5:30. show rewritten in 15 minutes. the late show will never have the luxury of time that last week tonight does. it’s why the daytime soaps don’t compete against primetime.

looking that way — and i am pissed!

and that haven’t even run the ‘in memoriam’ yet. or are they going to skip that for another stupid skit?

and just out of curiosity — who was that guy?

yeah — i don’t know who this guy thinks he is, but STFU!

from margaret lyons at the ny times: ”These interstitial sketches are causing cell death inside my bones.”

what fresh hell is this… a support group!

i love last week tonight, however really doesn’t feel like a fair comparison. oliver does 30 shows a year, one topic a week. colbert does what, 200 a year?, with the news of the day often changing minutes before taping. peabodys are nice, but it would also be nice for the late show to be recognized by its peers.

these multiple nominees in the same category from a single show are getting on my nerves. it seems as though once a show becomes a critical darling, everything else is shut out.

just saw this: john dickerson interviews the colberts tomorrow on cbs sunday morning. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/stephen-colbert-relied-on-his-wifes-laughter-to-get-him-through-late-show-broadcasts-from-his-home/

missed seeing the exchange between stephen and drummer, joe saylor, last night. happy to see its return tonight. and what to say about rita moreno — she is one hot shit! wish i looked as good (and moved as well) as her — and i’m 20 years younger.
