  1. I saw an interview with Winslet about that singing scene. She was terrified to sing so she practiced endlessly. However, when it came time to shoot the scene she said the director told her to be bad, not polished (I am paraphrasing). So, she did the scene like any non-singer could do. I thought it played very well.
  2. Clearly the producers knew that they were only getting 2 seasons given the ending and how it brought the storyline to the present. It was a fun 2 seasons and brought back many memories from that era of the NBA.
  3. For sure. I have been following the NBA since the late 60s. While most of us weren't privy to what was going on behind the scenes, the players and personalities depicted in the show seem pretty true to form. I am even impressed with how the actor playing Bird shoots the ball. It looks exactly like Bird's motion.
  4. I am glad Joyce has been knocked down a notch. I think she was getting a bit to big in her own mind. After a little bit of a slow start I am enjoying this season as much, if not more, than last.
  5. I thought this was the best episode of season 7 so far. Chuck and Wendy are on parallel journeys to look inside themselves. I wonder if these journeys will intersect...
  6. What happened to the old district attorney of the southern district? In prior seasons they would make some attempt to make it seem as though things happened over a normal course of time. Now they aren't even bothering to do that. They got the doctor to admit wrongdoing in 24 hours and the POTUS to appoint and assign Chuck immediately. The show has some entertainment value but they are asking the viewers to believe anything.
  7. After a slow start I thought this season was very good. I like that Sam has had to deal with ups and downs while sober. It could have been so easy for the writers to have her drink again. I am glad they avoided that. Busy Phillips character is just too over the top. Some of the advice she gave Sam was good, but I would have preferred a more low key approach, like her first sponsor. Carol always grew this season. I don’t love the character but at least she gained some self-awareness.
  8. Very disappointed. Juliet was amazing as Della and Rhys was very good as Perry.
  9. I don't see it as Shiv chose Tom over Kendall. Shiv chose Matsson over Kendall and the Roys. While Tom is now CEO, he can easily be replaced since Matsson will effectively control the board. If Shiv had voted "nay", the Roys would not only have their CEO in place in Kendall, but also control the company. Shiv did exactly what Logan was doing with the original GoJo deal. He had decided that if he was not going to run the company anymore neither were any of the family, namely the kids. In the end, there was no "succession" and probably never was going to be.
  10. That they don’t have Roy DNA. One was adopted and the other was from Rava and the sperm donor.
  11. In the end Roman was the only one true to himself.
  12. That’s because this show isn’t really about the “who done it” part but about the relationships among all the players. I find that part much more interesting than the specifics about the attack. Each of the characters is navigating their way through personal and business relationships. I think the show is doing a great job with that.
  13. Agreed. Episode 3 was awful. Too many extended Rogen monologues about nothing and Byrne’s character doing stupid things that no normal person would do.
  14. The description says “former childhood friends reconnect as adults..”
