Please keep the spoilers in the Spoilers thread. There is plenty of room to speculate over there. Thanks! Like most everyone, I was caught totally off-guard by Ava's decision to shoot Boyd, but as she said, she had done the calculation: he wasn't going to confess and she can't go back to prison. She was running out of options. I was kind of expecting Mikey to turn on Wynn at some point -- the code and all -- but the way he did it was surprising. That was quite an arsenal he pulled off Wynn and laid out on the counter. I was hoping Loretta's great-aunt had a similar arsenal ready for Boon, but to no avail...

I've finally watched S3, which was actually pretty good -- much better than S6 for sure. But I'll bet Adam was really kicking himself for not convincing Crosby to sell their Luncheonette recording business for, gasp, over $2 million back then, given what it devolved to by the end. Guess the cachet of recording in that historically significant location wore off as people realized it was mainly a place for family feuds!

No worries. I watched the first season and the last two, but had skipped over the middle, so I'm catching up.

I'm also rolling my eyes over how Adam and (especially) Kristina are handling their "concerns" about Haddie's relationship with Alex.

I'm currently watching S2 for the first time and have just reached the point where Amber scores 2250 (out of 2400) on the SAT exams. Yeah, right. She must have had incredible luck when she randomly completed the multiple choice questions in the math section.

According to Graham Yost, this is partly the result of filming logistics. They really wanted Garrett Dillahunt, but he was only available to film until Christmas, due to a Netflix series. So Ty Walker had to bite the dust, and Avery had to bring in someone else.

Compared to the immaturity Carrie showed in her other relationships, I suppose she did appear somewhat more mature with Berger -- but those other relationships provided a pretty low bar to cross! As I noted above:

I had more fun re-watching an earlier episode. :-)

In this interview, Dean Winters dishes that he almost passed on the role of Dennis Duffy, because he was sure he wasn't right for the part. Good thing his agent made him show up for the audition!

Well, I'm part of that sisterhood, too, and I don't feel betrayed by your comments at all! I didn't march for equal rights in the 1970s so that women could feel proud to act like morons.

Not sure which sisterhood you mean, but most posters here find Carrie pretty annoying much of the time. So welcome aboard! And yeah, Carrie with Berger was a disaster-in-the-making from the get-go. She acts like a school girl when she sees him on the street before their first date because she's not wearing "perfect date" clothing (but she was OK inflicting the horrendous get-up she had on upon the unsuspecting public), she complains about their having bad sex when all she does is lie there like an inert piece of codfish, she makes Berger face a verbal firing squad of her "friends" (I would have loved to see the counterpart of Carrie having to pass a similar test with Berger's friends), she doesn't even buy a copy of his book but instead waits for him to give her a copy and then fixates on the one flaw she finds in it, and then the Charlotte incident. Ugh. Berger had his issues, plenty of them, but I ultimately disliked Carrie with him more than I disliked him. They were like two overgrown kids pretending to have a mature relationship.

It was a documentary made in 2010. It runs on TV every now and then.

Last night in Harlan? But there are still 4 episodes to go after this!! They are not wasting any time AT. ALL. this season. Whiplash! (In a good way.)

I thought in the end only his own grave was moved, with Raylan deciding to let his parents' remains (or the idea of them) remain where they were, so to speak. Did I get that wrong?

Kim Cattrall doesn't find the 50 Shades guy sexy. Perhaps the feeling is mutual. Is it just me, of does this article seem obsessed with Cattrall's age? It first mentions that she is 58, then says she'll turn 60 next year, and later couches that as entering her 7th decade. All true, but geez, how many male actors get that treatment?

I don't remember the episode, but I also don't understand this description. Does it mean that Ross thought he was kissing Rachel but actually kissed Monica?

LOL, I was thinking the same thing. Excellent fit!

And yet, according to the 2010 census, Black Husband/White Wife is almost twice as prevalent in the U.S. as White Husband/Black Wife. Overall, "4.6% of married Black American women and 10.8% of married Black American men had a non-Black spouse."

Hopefully available On Demand this evening. You have piqued my interest even more than usual!

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) has the Maysles' Grey Gardens scheduled for this Sunday morning, March 8.

Sorry about that! I've correct the link to what I thought I had provided the first time around.

Yes, I heard that, just didn't know what/who she was referencing. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ol'_Dirty_Bastard">Google to the rescue...

The Italians call this affogato. The man is cosmopolitan! I'm going to need some help with the ODB reference...

One quibble: I don't think Matt has aged "badly" -- he has simply aged, which apparently celebrities are not allowed to do. ;-)
