  1. Jason Gedrick was the defendant in the first season of "Murder One," playing an actor suspected of killing a teenager he had sex with.
  2. The Sunday night show is repeated throughout the week on WGN, so you can see the show in its entirety.
  3. It was great seeing Lucia Micarelli as Sid's widow. It was a bit hard to recognize her (violinist Anne on Treme). I hope she does more acting, as well as continuing her musical career.
  4. Yes, they lived in Virginia, but Charlottesville is almost 200 miles from D.C., so not a distance where they could commute. I assume they had previously lived in the Washington area when she worked at the CIA. I know there will be all the comparisons to Hillary, but there have been three women Secretaries of State. None of them had kids at home. We only assume it is Mrs. Clinton because of her current political activity. I agree with folks that the show I want to see is more like The West Wing and less like Scandal. And a question: At the dinner with the African king, would so many staff members be there with the SoS? It seemed rather formal for a working meeting. You would expect to see celebrities and government officials, not staff members at this sort of dinner. Why did the king have his wives, but we didn't see any of his staff. (And by the same token, the Secretary hadn't brought her husband.)
  5. CBS Sunday shows starting as scheduled. Yet another good reason to live on the left coast.
  6. Bill Camp plays Dr. Hogarth. In recent years, he's been in "12 Years a Slave" and "Damages." Could his character have been more disgusting?
  7. The black scientist at Oak Ridge appears to be creative license. The few black scientists and technicians who worked on the Manhattan Project were mostly in Chicago and at Columbia University, according to the article below: http://www.blackpast.org/aah/black-history-month-special-feature-2012-scientists-and-technicians-manhattan-project
  8. Possibilities mentioned that she was surprised that Rita criticized Callie for helping after the fire. I was surprised that Rita didn't mention to Stef that Callie had helped save a life. That was a pretty big deal. Also, no one else has mentioned this, but I thought that when Lena was Skyping out on her camping trip with the 7th graders, she seemed to be wearing a lot more makeup than you'd expect to see on someone in the great outdoors.
  9. Yes, Callie now seems to have two families that she could live with. But only one of them is where her brother lives. Even if Quinn turns out to be a rich guy who never even knew Callie existed and he now wants the opportunity to get to know her and for her to get to know her half-sister, separating Callie from Jude would be a horrible thing to do. There is no reason custody couldn't be granted to the Fosters, with Callie visiting her biological father and half-sister from time to time. I hope it doesn't take the writers too many episodes for Quinn to realize this solution.
  10. I believe this might have been discussed previously: The office of State's Attorney is a county office, the Illinois equivalent of District Attorney. This office prosecutes criminal activity in that county. Peter was State's Attorney for Cook County, which is the office Alicia would be running for. The office of the Attorney General is a statewide office, part of the Executive Branch. This would be much more of a conflict, but it isn't the office Alicia is thinking about running for.
  11. I agree that Paisley's carelessly chosen comments about Jews and class were dramatically well written and well acted and I was glad for those reasons to see them in Sunday's episode. But I think Paisley absolutely believed what he was saying, but he couldn't help himself, because he's used to being the big guy on the block and entitled to say whatever he wants, even if it ends up costing him hundreds of millions of dollars. What I found fascinating was how this played out in line with Donald Sterling's racist statements and the apologies, which have gotten him in even deeper. TGW storyline apparently was based on Tom Perkin's 1% victims statement, but it had to be written before the Clippers situation broke out. It reminds me of "The China Syndrome" parallelling Three Mile Island.
  12. Cattitude wrote: Freedom of speech means the government can't silence voices they don't like to hear. It doesn't mean you can say anything you want without consequences. Paisley's racist and classist statements are bad for business. That is why FA wants him to shut up. He has offended many people, which has scared companies about to enter into a huge merger with his company. They are thinking about backing out of the merger, which would be a enormous financial loss to both Paisley and FA.
  13. The 5/06 episode is actually "The Admiral's Daughter," which may be why there are no comments posted.
  14. They had to use the ending they filmed in 2006 because the kids were too old now? Hello? Had to? They couldn't cut that scene? You find out that what would have worked six or eight years ago isn't the best way to go In 2014. So you don't use it! Or, you change the time line, so Ted is talking to kids when they are older and he and Traci were together longer.
  15. Lena's pregnancy story is wrong for so many reasons: Lena and Steph did not discuss this before Lena decided she was going to get pregnant; Steph goes along with Lena, although she (Steph) clearly doesn't want a sixth child added to their already complicated family situation; they didn't get a signed contract beforehand from Timothy; their sperm donor is someone Lena works with and even supervises and who at times teaches the other Foster children. What could possibly go wrong with all that? Mostly I'm upset that it wasn't a mutual decision. So when Lena thinks she isn't pregnant, Steph admits she's glad, but soon after when Lena says she is in fact with child, Steph is all smiles and happy. Right. Just because the actress playing Lena is pregnant doesn't mean they have to write that into the script. Dozens of pregnancies have been shot around on tv shows, behind lamps and flower pots and laundry baskets. Kerry Washington is doing it now on "Scandal," as Patricia Heaton did on "Everybody Loves Raymond" and so many others.....
