    This is exactly the reason that his performance in The Road to Perdition stood out for me, because it didn't feel like just another Tom Hanks performance.  Maybe he should play villains/morally conflicted characters more often.

    I was just going to say the same thing, say what you will about Tom Hanks, Road to Perdition was a great performance. I don't think he's ever portrayed a character quite like that one.

  2. I admit I felt let down by this finale. It was great seeing the OG cast together, but I was really hoping for a Wesley sighting. And while we're on the topic of hugs, why did "Crash" LaForge hug Seven when her sister was standing right there? Like, shouldn't you have a closer relationship with your sister?

    Worf was my favorite of the returning crew and I did give a little "aww" at Admiral Anton Chekov, but did they kill him off too?

    When is Lower Decks coming back?

    I have PBS Passport and can watch all of the episodes right now -- But I don't. It's been a tradition to watch a new episode every Sunday night. If I watched it on Passport would I be able to see the deleted scenes or is it edited like the broadcast?

    PBS Passport has the edited broadcast, which is really sad and makes you wonder what you're paying for. It's ridiculous that so much of the show is left on the cutting room floor. Sorry, posted at the same time as iMonrey.

    I really love seeing Timothy on this show and watching him grow up. Same with Angela, they case her as a baby and it's still the same actress all these years later.

    Where was Angela?  We saw Teddy and May a couple of times (being sick and in the pool) but no Angela.

    Right at the beginning of showing how sick the whole household was, there was a brief shot of poor Angela hurling into a bucket.  But yes, after that, she disappeared.

  5. I just saw this on Paramount+ and really enjoyed it. I love all the ladies, but was so distracted by Jane Fonda's face, it took me out of all her scenes.  Good use of Harry Hamlin and Glynn Turman. Loved Billy Porter also.  I felt the movie was just long enough that I didn't get bored. Glad the ladies were supportive and protective of each other throughout. Fun way to spend 90 minutes.

    I thought Vanessa sounded frail. I just looked her up and she is now 86.

    I was just thinking "she has to be getting up there in age". VR did sound really frail during this episode.

    It's so nice to have this show back, even if it is more and more obvious that we are getting a severely edited version of the show.  I do not like the new nun and can't think what the writer's are trying to achieve with her character.

    Poor Lucille and Cyril, and everyone else that had to put up with the particular brand of foolishness from that MP.

  7. I loved this show during its initial run! So many great characters. I don't remember episode titles, just more great moments. TV Guide used to have a quote of the week from broadcast shows and so many times the quote was a line from H:LOTS.  One was Pembleton to Bayliss "you can have the ER, I'll take Homicide".  A great line because so many actors started out on H:LOTS and then migrated over to the show ER.

    Loved Frank not going to Crosetti's funeral but standing in the dress blues when the squad walked by. I think that was the beginning of the Pembleton love.

    Gee telling Frank he put up with him because he "turned red names black". How Gee put his kids through college playing Hearts.

    There were some great villains too, stand out would be Luther Mahoney.

    I clearly need to dust off my dvd's and re-watch this show.

    But they're not at a lot of airports & airport security barriers & configuration changed a lot after 9/11 in this country. The more modern the airport the more likely it is to have both before & after security amenities and if it has several terminals each one might be laid out differently. Older US airports were never built to have security like today for domestic flights.

    Just have to say that Barbara would have been flying out of Philly International Airport and it does not have any dining options before you get through security, so yes she would need to buy a ticket.

    Really cute episode, I agree it was a good use of Ava. I also loved Donnie's new girlfriend giving Janine the "I'm watching you" look when Donnie asked for his valentine back.

  9. Just finished the entire season and I really liked it. I'm one of those people that avoided the series at first because I've become fatigued with everything having to be "dark" and serious. It seems if anything is joyful or optimistic it's not to be taken seriously and has no meaning. I'm just over that type of entertainment. But, like others, a friend recommended this series and I'm glad I gave it a chance. It wasn't what I was expecting, in a good way. Cassian wasn't a favorite character in Rogue One but I liked learning more about him here.  Unlike some others, I really enjoyed all the Mon Mothma scenes. I felt her scenes showed that tension can come from more than action/fight scenes. And learning what people sacrificed for the rebellion was nice. Leia wasn't the only "princess" or person of privilege in the rebellion. Mon Mothma's story helped me understand why she and Leia got along so well (in the books).

    Could the story have been tighter? Yes, probably one less Aldhani episode and one less prison episode but the show wasn't ruined for me by the pacing. 

    I didn't realize there was going to be a season 2, very happy to find that out. Because there are still big gaps between this and Rogue One which I rewatched right after finishing episode 12. I understand some thought this show didn't feel as much like "Star Wars" as other shows, but for me it had enough elements for me to believe it's the same universe. Jedi and Force users can't be everywhere. 

    Glad I gave this show a chance and will be back for season 2.

  10. Such a great episode. I didn't watch the series when it was first released because I wasn't the biggest fan of Cassian from Rogue One. But a friend told me it's the best show, so I gave it a try. So glad I did! I love this show! These episodes are so tense. Even though I know Cassian and Mon Mothma are going to make it out of the series, I don't know what they're going to have to go through to get there.

    I always respected MM in the Star Wars universe, but I love her in this series. The character of Luthen is just so "gray" but SS is knocking it out of the park. I need Karn to be dealt with severely, can not stand him and feel no sympathy. He needs to be careful not to choke on his ambition.

    When Andy Serkis showed up I just started cheering, he was so great in this and we'll probably never see this character again. RE: I can't swim, that is real. If you grew up knowing how to swim or can't remember learning it seems like no big deal. But growing up a minority in the inner city, learning how to swim is not a given. I didn't learn until I was in my twenties. And I had to learn to float and learn every kind of stroke. Your body does not just take over, you will drown if you don't know what you're doing. I felt so bad for him.

    Are we to assume that only Cassian and the other guy made it to land from the prison break?

    On to the final two episodes...

  11. I liked TIU and Jack for the first couple seasons. I think, for me, the show took a permanent downward turn when William died. Of course, my own father was dying at the time and that's the last episode we watched together. But then Randall became totally unbearable for me, I just started FF through his scenes. I knew then it was time to cut the cord. I thought I would tune in for the final episodes, but I didn't. Don't feel like I missed anything.

    The giant heart was always my favorite part of The Franklin Institute but it did, and probably still does, smell like feet inside. 😖

    They have updated the heart since I was a kid, I'm not a fan of the new, safer version. But I do love the Franklin Institute's brain exhibit, the whole section is awesome. FI is one of those places I take my friends when they visit from out of town.

    Loved this episode, Ava didn't get on my nerves and Barbara found a good way for Henry to earn some extra money. And Mr. Johnson saying the three of them should have just gotten in the car and drove away was hilarious.

    I can't tell if Mo is just playing Janine or if he really likes her.

    Yup she was scamming people but could actually hear Sam (I can’t remember if she could see him or not) and was totally freaked out. 

    She couldn't see him. When she went to his apartment and met Molly she asked Sam "is this you?" then she said "cute, White but cute".

  14. I always have to set a reminder that this is on. I was very happy for all the recipients, but I was strangely underwhelmed by the performances. I think the best tribute was for George Clooney. I'm not usually a big fan of his but I really enjoyed his section and how moved he appeared by his fathers words.  I've been waiting for Gladys Knight to receive a KCH for many years but I was not moved by her tribute, it showcased how unique her voice really was/is, not many people can sing a Glady Knight song. Loved hearing from Amy Grants kids. Really wish Mary J Blige hadn't been ill, she would have killed her tribute to U2.

    Does Sean Penn always talk like that? He seemed sedated or something.

    Good show, just not great.

    I was begging and pleading the show not to go there with the professor but, of course it did!

    Where does this lead, Merch almost killing the guy?  LOL

     

    I agree. I knew something with the professor would be "off" but I was hoping it would be plagiarizing her story and not what we got. I will say Regina delivered on her scenes.

  16. Thank you for naming Nicole Ari Parker! I could not think of her name last night. And yes, the show did begin in 2024 and then went back to 2015, so I guess  a lot will happen in the next 9 years. 

    Nice to see the original cast all together and looking forward to how it all gets wrapped up.

    The actor playing Quentin's father looked familiar...I did NOT like him.

    These two might have already been mentioned by others but I thought I would mention them anyway.  Not sure how either could have lasted more than one season based on their premise.  Still they were both entertaining summer shows. 

    Harper's Island and BrainDead

    OMG I loved Harper's Island. And yes a second season would have ruined the show so it didn't really die before it's time.  I even enjoy a re-watch when I can find it.

    What grade does Gregory teach?  I know Janine and Melissa both teach 2nd grade so I don’t think it’s that, but the kids all look about the same age.

    Doesn't Gregory teach 1st grade? That's where we first met Amber and now her son is in Janine's class.

  19. Just enough Ava in the episode, with so many one-liners, I think my favorite was "give me something cheap so I can spit out" ROFL.  I liked Mr. Johnson speaking some truth to Jacob. And Andre Igoudala (sp?)! He won his championships with the Warriors but us Sixers fan were happy for him (at least this one was).

    Nice ep to break on. Do we have a date for the January return?

    The first thing I ever saw Kirstie Alley in was the mini-series North and South. I thought she had such beautiful eyes and was a standout in a cast of thousands. I also preferred Rebecca to Diane in Cheers.

    Even though she's more of a controversial figure now, I can't help my fondness for those early projects.

    Yes, Virgilia in North and South, she was a force of nature. Kirstie was awesome and so beautiful. I was bummed when they recast Saavik in Star Trek 3 because she was so good in Star Trek 2. Really shocked and saddened, like others have said another piece of my childhood gone.

    Right now, yes. And Baghban always makes me have RAGE BLACKOUT and cry at the horrible horrible horrible children and how they treated their parents (Amitabh and Hema Malini).

    Oh yes, Baghban is infuriating but he does get them in the end and Salman Khan was great in his supporting part.

    One of his horrible sons had a small part in another bollywood movie I really enjoyed Vivah. Older brother of the main character.
