Fisher King

A concept album is sort of a diary of personal experiences containing emotional events. Add to that a creative flourish, and that makes it worthy of sharing with the public. It's a great idea for famous people who want to present it as a genuine entity. Rayna has enough clout to release a half-assed effort and make it sell. Fine, if you want to put out bullshit just for profit. But it's way more personal for Deacon, who's not ready to relive all that pain. He made that abundantly clear and I thought Rayna was way out of line for pressuring him. It's something that takes time to organically originate to a presentable form, not something to whip up in a few weeks. The first hour marked noticeable improvements in the show. The second hour - this episode - seemed to slip back into needless drama. Back to the same old irksome Scarlett & Gunnar mess. Glad they were able to sort of settle it by episode's end instead of dragging it out several eps just to reconcile and rinse and repeat - the spinning of wheels only to recur later. Among the good was seeing Will not be quite as naive as in the past. Glad he showed some restraint without slugging the trunk show dude. That would have created a media scandal before, now it can hopefully show character development - and maybe that's what Herskovitz & Zwick are shooting for. We need stories with cohesion and a plausible flow - not constant, repetitive conflict. The stalker idea kind of makes me ill, but I'm cautiously optimistic that it won't play out to a ridiculous end.

So sorry for your loss, @LegalEagle53.

Former Atlanta Falcons safety Keion Carpenter died at age 39 from a brain aneurysm. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but fell into a coma. It happened while Carpenter was on vacation with his family. Carpenter made his NFL debut with the Buffalo Bills in 1999 and was a graduate of Virginia Tech. “He had a heart of gold. His work with The Carpenter House and other charitable organizations to help those in need truly embodied the Virginia Tech spirit,” said former Hokies head coach Frank Beamer.

It was SO good to see this show back with a different feel. It was probably mostly my optimistic attitude that made it worthwhile, but I'm okay with that. Please keep this kind of pace going without relapsing into too much melodrama, show-runners. Thanks!

Oui, Tio without a bell but prefers banging his fists. The French lady seems to care about the guy though. I thought the acting was pretty good in this scene. Watching this using headphones, I think the most annoying part of this episode was the detective crinkling the plastic cup while questioning Noah in the hospital.

Sure, some parts felt too neatly wrapped while there wasn't definitive closure on who killed Hanna. My only complaint is having to wait 14 months for the final season. Maybe there was too much time to become dislocated from the moments that initially pulled us in. But there were good moments this season. The poignant elements were still there. Maybe the bar was so high that expectations couldn't possibly be met without the viewers calling bullshit, and I seriously doubt Ray McKinnon would end his creation with anything HE thought was bullshit.

It hasn't even started, wings707. I like Ali - she can keep the red nose. Oops, she took it off.

I've been keeping up with all of it. Probably too much and it's making me crazy. People are right to be scared. I'm glad not to see that KAC on today. She's just one of the many brainwashed puppets running around defending the indefensible.

Get rid of the stupid fucking blinking red nose, Whoopi.

3 sneak peeks from tonight's episode.

Watching and getting too much of Whoopi on a daily basis has made it easy to forget, or just ignore, the great things she's done in her life - the things that endeared her to us initially. Getting much-needed attention to sick and dying AIDS victims in the chaotic pandemic was no small task. Liz Taylor's grandchildren presenting her with the humanitarian award was an awesome moment for this show. For Whoopi and for us. I would have missed this if not for reading the comments here. Thanks, gang!

FWIW, Rosie apologized.

I thought this was the best episode so far this season. I agree about the mixed messages with Teddy. The sense of dread hangs over him, as it does with Daniel. Janet and Ted's road trip "discussions" were much-needed and long overdue. It felt like they'd never posed those personal questions to each other before. Ted and Tawney's "divorce" scene was so well done.

On the next Rectify:

Same here. I think Sunny has been working on investigative pieces for the ABC news division since she was hired. I know she's a contributor on Nightline. We've definitely needed her here. I can't hack CCB at all.

Monday: Garth Brooks (album, "Gunslinger"); "View Your Deal" with hottest items at affordable prices. Tuesday: Kathy Griffin (author, "Kathy Griffin's Celebrity Run-Ins"). Wednesday: Martha Stewart; Jean Bell (founder of Jeuness Track Club); ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" winning couple and runners-up. Thursday: (OAD: 11/11/16) Original "View" co-hosts Joy Behar, Meredith Vieira, Star Jones and Debbie Matenopoulos host with guest Priyanka Chopra (ABC's "Quantico"). Friday: Billy Bob Thornton ("Bad Santa 2"); tips and deals to kick off your holiday shopping.

It's a direct reaction to what Daniel had to contend with in prison. The awful Wendall dude in the next cell over would taunt Daniel while masturbating. The last two minutes of this episode were mesmerizing and horrible. I thought it was also rather brilliant. Daniel will never completely lose those ghosts. Part of the PTSD I suppose. Thanks for that hunting/trophy correlation, Auntie Pam! I missed it.

I was glad to get these final episodes. I have noticed a slight shift to lighten up the tone in places, but I wouldn't call them missteps. I like Caitlin Fitzgerald and I like Chloe. She has the curious patience to try and understand Daniel - to tap into his own curious psyche. The potential is there for them to be viable for each other. I know this is no ordinary, predictable show but I'll take a clichéd happy ending after all the dread that has been hanging over Daniel since day one.

Not sure why but it irks me in the intro when Whoopi acts like she offering the viewers a bouquet of flowers. Ain't no way. Today was so much better with Whoops gone and Joy moderating. Hope your sister will be okay, @maggiemae

Two seconds is my limit today as well.

Thanks, @GHScorpiosRule! I've been around, just not watching the show much lately and mostly reading here. You guys are always better than the show! That's about the time I finally signed up at TWoP too, @atomationage. I read the board before I ever registered there. I do still love my SFU.

Nathan Lane saved the day. John Goodman seemed miserable - and that clip from the movie with CCB was just cringe-worthy. Was there any other reason for CCB being there? I hope she's next to go. Please.

I'm just glad to not have to see Raven's sour pussface again.

I'm glad we're back! It absolutely takes the proper mindset to get back into this show. I did a mini-rewatch beforehand, so that helped. I'm not too concerned over Daniel's uncertainty about his own guilt. The counselor (Avery?) gave him fitting advice IMO. I like Chloe.
