A Boston Gal

It was very moving, indeed, and I'm going to miss this show, along with its spectacular production values and thoughtful writing. Any word about a second season?

I'm guessing the wedding invitation call was to Zoey. No real reason for the hunch why the writers would do that, except that it would mess up everyone's guess that the call reveals who Jackie really wants to date. :)

heebiejeebie, as my plastic surgeon says, it's alway prefereable to avoid the "windswept" look. ;)

Ujio, I hope you're right and the categories are different - embarrassment of riches, indeed! :) But aren't both Fargo and True Detectives anthology series that will have additional seasons with new casts? So, how will the Emmy people define the difference between "Drama Series" and "Miniseries" in this case?

I also do not understand why Lester seems to be pursuing Lorne in the previews for next week; I think we might all agree that had it been us, we'd be hightailing it out of the hotel with spouse in hand toute suite! Also agreeing that Martin Freeman is amazing, and that he's not only gonna give BBT a run for his money come Emmy time, but also True Detective's dynamic duo. And that is some tough competition!

Ok, assuming the wolf doesn't like veggies....the man rows the rabbit across the river. Then he comes back tor the wolf. When he gets to the other side, he lets off the wolf, and brings the rabbit back with him. When he gets to the original side, off goes the rabbit, on comes the lettuce. After rowing the lettuce over, leaving it with the meateater wolf, he goes back one more time to fetch the well-traveled rabbit. Talk about getting your workout in for the day! :)

Who is playing Helen, the alchoholic nun? I know I've seen her before, and it's driving me batty. IMDB is being no help to me on this.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one incredibly frustrated by the camera work during the aerial act, helenamonster. Let us watch the performers, TPTB! Is that so much to ask??

Welcome, SusanSunshine. From my own observations, I can say that I've found the posters here to be extremly nice, insightful and inclusive, while the admins are friendly and helpful! And of course, the founders are legend. :)

We had a return to the horrid camera work of seasons past with the aerialist and video screen performer. Constant cutaways to the judges just ruined the flow for me, and although it looked like a great act, I certainly couldn't get the full effect of it. Arrgh! Very frustrating!

Heck, no, ganesh, you're right; anyone who's convinced themselves climate change is a hoax isn't open to new ideas anyway.

If we're talking about Chris Cuomo, it's true in any context.

I despair of this show ever having a decent director and camera work, considering its checkered history in this regard, but I will try to stay open-minded.

It will be interesting to see which acts Mel and Heidi use the Golden Buzzer for, as I anticipate another "so stupid it's (supposedly) funny" act will get through due to Howie's choice to use it.

Bravo to Cosmos for its very clever and subtle comparison of the real crisis the world faces dealing with climate change with the real crisis the world faced dealing with fascism. From using the White Cliffs of Dover to show carbon dioxide "in the flesh" to the actual title of this episode, we are reminded that our very existance is in jeopardy if we do not confront the problems staring us straight in the face. And NDT optimistically forsees a brighter future after the struggle, just as the famous British WWII ballad did: There'll be blue birds over The White Cliffs of Dover Tomorrow, just you wait and see. There'll be love and laughter, And peace ever after, Tomorrow, when the world is free.

Kromm, I'm with you, my friend. It's getting harder to tell the difference between the contestants and the cast members of the latest basic cable drama.

Rinaldo, stacey, theotherone, bybrandy: you all hit the nail on the head. Disasterous final round by two clueless folk, when the losing contestant was far more preferable, both in personality and game-skills. (She hit the song title game out of the park! Impressive!) Don't know Billy Joel? Can't make ONE House of Cards reference? Then what the heck are you all doing on this show? Slightly off topic: Are the snack things new? Never noticed the players eating before; I guess it makes sense. Next up: passed hors d'oeuvres!

Leighdear, someone posted in another thread a link to an interview where the producerss explain how every episode title is actually the name of a parable from a variety of cultures; each parable illustrates a particular point in that specific episode. I apologize I can't remember exactly where it is, but thank you to whomever posted it because it was a great read.

I think Dojo teetered on the line between parodying obsessive behavior (can be funny, if done right) and the mentally challenged (rarely, if ever, funny). When they spun around to look for potential "attackers", that was mildly amusing. Otherwise...just no.

Like Ohwell, I thought the opera singers were terrific, and also remember Dan Naturman from LCS. Surprised no one's mentioned the precocious little piano player. His personality could either grate overupcoming appearances or actually settle down to be a bit more natural. Hope he doesn't flame out.

Lovin' the early release On Demand of the following week's episode! Mr. Boston Gal is forever in my debt to alerting him of this feature. Not for one minute did I buy that Jackie was really at work the following day.

Is this the last show of the season? Any word about whether it's been renewed?

I think I've figured out my problem with this show: it's just not a fair fight. Malvo is either supernatural or is the luckiest SOB criminal ever, and every law enforcement official is so mind-numbingly incompetent. Where's the drama/humor in that? ETA: I was going to complain hospital wrist bands making the ol' switcheroo in and out of the hospital damn near impossible, but then I remembered that logic does not have much hold in the Fargo universe.

Yikes, saw this On Demand early, and well, it looks like finally the jig is up. Next weeks previews looks like a ton of freaky nursing hallucinations. Should be..uh...interesting.

When Gus first encountered Lorne, Lorne overheard Greta talking to Gus on his walkie talkie, which was on his passenger's seat, and thus asked him a question, like "so your daughter is watching the game?" or some such thing. It was a stretch, to be sure, since I couldn't even tell if the voice belonged to a boy or a girl, but there you have it.
