  1. So, why did Lucious wear a white suit to Bunky's funeral? To stand out?
  2. I thought that Cookie was going to find out about Lucious' ALS when she saw him struggling with the pill bottle. I really liked that scene, and I am digging their chemistry. But...I was also enjoying Cookie & Puma. I'd love it if he stuck around because - as someone upthread said - it'd be nice to have someone else who is in Cookie's corner. Hakeem gets all the eye rolls from me. Did he forget that Jamal was on stage with him at Leviticus? Glad Jamal stood up to Lucious. Still can't stand Anika.
  3. Good for Arsenal for getting that win against City (at the Etihad, no less!) And it was a true team performance. JustaPerson, you should be proud :-)
  4. I am not a big movie person, but I loved this film. I thought it was incredibly powerful and haunting (the scenes of violence definitely called to mind Ferguson for me). And I can't say enough about the performances. David Oyelowo is truly outstanding, as is Carmen Ejogo. But all the actors were top notch. Most importantly, this film made me think long after I left the theater. I can't think of a better review for such a film.
  5. Just started watching the spinoff. Doug's mother's face when Jamie said she wanted to have kids to bring her and Doug closer together? That was some unintentional comedy.
  6. This is kind of random, and I wasn't sure where to put it, but I was watching an episode on this morning's TNT marathon (I believe it was called "Rapture"). In the episode, Lupo and Bernard visit Rapture-Con. Their conversation with the one of the organizers goes like this (I paraphrase) Bernard: Rapture-Con? Organizer: It's like the comic conventions, except for End Times fanatics. We're in the last days. Lupo: So we've been hearing. Organizer: I mean the last days of the convention. I don't know why but that exchange made me laugh for a good 5 minutes straight.
  7. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I bought the connection between Cole and Cassandra. I'm intrigued to see where the story goes.
  8. NY Mag's The Cut on the BJ Bib
  9. Promo for episode 10 in which we see a) Annalise in a new wig, and b) a glimpse of her when she found Sam's body.
  10. Hakeem is such a poor little rich boy. I agree that the best thing about the character so far is his love and affection for Jamal. Maybe they'll give him some sort of growth as the series unfolds.
  11. I read an article where the showrunner, Ilene Chaiken, said they envisioned the character as the niece of someone Cookie met in prison.
  12. Seriously. So over his bullying and homophobia.
  13. Jx223, yes to all of this! There's a lot of promising potential for where they can go with Lucious and Cookie. nb360, I'm loving the assistants as well - particularly Becky. I'd love to see them have their own little rivalry.
  14. The connection between Lucious and Cookie is one of my favorite things about the show so far. And I love that it irritates Anika. She just bugs me.
  15. I was lukewarm after the pilot, but after this episode, I am loving this show. Cookie is everything. Taraji is just bringing it in this role. Hakeem is such an entitled little shit. But I love his relationship with Jamal. I thought their performance was fantastic. This. For DAYS! I cannot stand that woman and her perma-sneer.
  16. That's a great moment in the episode, and the actress really sells it. I watched Ed Green's farewell episode, "Burn Card," last weekend as well. I'd forgotten how good it was. From Lupo's travails with his dog, Otto to Green telling Van Buren about his gambling addiction, there were just some nice moments between the characters - especially for longtime fans.
  17. Submission was also on this past weekend. I always liked that episode. Cutter is just a lot of fun in that one. And Connie got a fair amount of snark in as well. I also liked "Darkness," which features a nice guest star turn from Tom McCarthy; and "Bottomless," the famous SavingsMart episode. Ron Canada was great in that one as Van Buren's friend and former mentor. Season 18 really did have some gems.
  18. Will Michaela’s Engagement Ring Make Her A Suspect? Peter Nowalk Teases 'Personal Fallout'
  19. I have zero familiarity with the source material, but based on seeing the movies, I always mildly shipped Thor and Sif.
  20. Glad to hear the show is getting a second season. I kind of want to see what comes of Mei Lin and Ahmad's partnership to take down Kublai.
  21. I liked two things about Arsenal's win over Stoke today: 1) Seeing Mesut Ozil playing again after such a long injury layoff 2) Alexis. Sanchez. Damn - what a player!
  22. Yes! That's it! He just never felt like a real character to me - and his pretty was not enough to mitigate that.
  23. This movie is on cable a lot now, and even though I've seen it before, I now realize that Theo James really bugs me in this movie. I can't really say why. When I read the book, I was pretty indifferent to Four, but in the movie, he grates.
