  1. Larry's inability to explain the simplest things in a way to justify himself seems new, or at least more extreme, in the later seasons.
  2. Leon has always been too over the top for me (I know this unpopular - everyone loves Leon), but his story in this episode was even more ridiculous, on several levels. I could be misremembering the early days, but I think the show in general has gone too far over the top in recent years. Lots of great moments, but too many where Larry is written as just too extremely stupid or where the people who are his foils are way too crazy. (The hotel maid a couple ep's ago, e.g.) Seems like his foils used to be, yeah, somewhat nutty, but had some element of sanity. The doctor played by Philip Baker Hall., or Bryan Cranston, e.g. Now too many are just totally insane.
  3. That drip on Jeff doesn't happen from Just For Men. It happened to Giulliani because of some sort of weird goop he'd just put on.
  4. I was hoping Whit would redeem himself from all of his previous mistakes, by shooting Roy. But I would have been surprised. Seems like a trend the past few years in a lot of shows is to not have good guys kill people with guns. They kill them often with other things. But not guns. One that pops to mind is Florida Man, and I know there are a lot of others. If you doubt this watch for it. Yes there are exceptions - Reacher for one. Did Dot actually kill anyone with a gun? I don't remember from the earlier episodes. It seems she tried, but failed. But I may be mistaken. I believe the eating of the biscuit was to symbolize Communion, a purpose of which, according to religious followers, is to celebrate the fresh start Christ can give.
  5. I know. I was like shoot him, bash his head in ... something. Disappointing. That trooper though was the most incompetent cop imaginable. He was a terrible shot at the beginning at the car. He gets to the store and chooses to stand outside in the extremely bright lights, looking out into the pitch black, giving himself a huge disadvantage, and of course gets shot. Ideally he would have gone into the store, turned off the store lights and left the outside lights on. And hunkered down till help arrived. And then after he limps into the store he wastes nearly all his ammo shooting at nothing.
  6. It's called "reading the law". That's how Mike became an actual lawyer in Season 6. I don't remember how, or if they ever explained why, Rachel couldn't have done the same thing.
  7. Reading back on what I wrote I was confused myself and had to remember what I was thinking. No the show never has Mike going to law school at all. I just meant he'd have to have spent a few years working with lawyers. I'm not sure how long at that point Mike had been working at that firm, or even if it was as much as 2 or 3 years, so I threw in a caveat that he'd have to have worked with lawyers for a few years in the states that allow it.
  8. I'm a few minutes into ep. 8 and I'm disappointed as to how Bosch seems to be outsmarted too much this season. He and/or Mo should be hyper aware of people tailing them and especially when a car behind them suddenly douses its lights and then approaches fast from behind they should notice. I'd been hoping Bosch would have the upper hand by this point, but no, the writers insisted on giving the bad guys at least one more big win.
  9. Bill went too easy as to Trump's mental competence. He should have emphasized that Trump's mind has deteriorated to an incredible/shocking extent in the last 2 years (not that it was that great back then anyway) and within the last couple weeks he's made some especially weird cognitive errors, repeatedly. (e.g., Confusing Jeb and George Bush and his 2016 opponent, thinking next WW is WWII.) Even Fox News is starting to get on the Trump-is-losing-it story. Yet Bill is doubling down on Biden. Yes he spoke a little smack about Trump, but it's not necessary to so heavily focus on mainly Biden. Also make the case as to not only is Trump cognitively declining but also, he's a dangerous psychopath, severely mentally ill. Trump should drop out. Trump's dangerous insanity is a bigger deal than Biden's age. That's where Bill should focus.
  10. I'm near the end of Season 5 and I'm liking Harvey and Mike less and less. They're both major A-Hs. Too much rude, stupid, unnecessary shouting at people. Coupla jerks. I'm losing interest but there's still enough to interest me to keep me going. I'm feeling committed now to see it through to the end. And I must say the moral outrage these people show when learning of Mike's fraud seems way overblown and hypocritical. Has Mike done any real harm considering his gifted mind and his track record? By this point in a number of states he could skip law school, take the bar, and practice. (Not in his first few years though.) (Called reading the law.) Yes, he was wrong, but is this, or anything Harvey has done, really something for Gibbs to be out of her mind with rage and vengeance over? Yeah it's a violation, but look at the unique circumstances and take everything into consideration.
  11. I was aching to hear "Free Man in Paris" at the end when Emily exits the building and looks joyful.
  12. I've addressed all these points. Guess we agree to disagree.
  13. I doubt he's a white nationalist or neo-nazi. That's not the point. Raylan who knew him for years doubted he'd like being around a lot of Mexicans. Someone can not like being around Mexicans or others without being a neo nazi. It's wrong-thinking, but not necessarily neo nazi.
  14. Why did Raylan, who knew him well, think he wouldn't like being around a lot of Mexicans?? Are Raylan's powers of observation just way off? And you don't have to be neo-nazi to not like being around other groups. It's not good, and I abhor it, but it's not necessarily neo-nazi. Why wasn't treating his cell mate well for all that time not opportunistic, adaptive behavior. And his becoming religious again, for that matter. I doubt he's truly religious again. It was all opportunistic, adaptive behavior.
