I can't stand Pletka. She is so condescending. Not five words out of her mouth without 'but Obama.'

Rice wins everything for "that shit happens to black people."
There's a lot to say about Bill's interviews, but he did a good job with Rice.

The coffin find is amazing.

Which was barely a year apart. It's not like that was too hard to find.

Smoltz at least knows what he's talking about, so I don't mind.

Literally right after Aikman said, "I hope they don't call a sneak. That would be really risky."

That's a tough one because Tyson goes at 100 miles an hour and it might be hard for Bill to get a word in.
How long is the one-on-one in the mid show interview before Bill cues in the rest of the panel? I'd say 40% of that time.

Buck is in Denver calling the football game.
Yeesh. The Yanks are leaving more people on base than I've had in my class the last two years.
I know small ball isn't much of a thing anymore, but you'd think in a must win game, you'd scratch out runs where you can. I can't see them getting 3 more runs with 9 more outs.

Yeah, I would have liked to see more of Dee's plot. They over did it with the co-dependent plot.
Charlie has been the rather sane one over the last two weeks.

Its like I was vaguely aware of some of this stuff at the time, but was young and didn't really know what was happening. I about AIDS but it didn't really touch my life in any real way other than the dire warnings about safe sex. It still amazes and saddens me that a huge portion of a generation of people (mostly gay men) was wiped during my lifetime and no one wanted to address it. Whenever I watch something about it now, I get a bit overwhelmed at the tragedy of it.
Yeah. It was something I heard about but didn't really live.
When the guy told Paul he was the only person still alive in the picture - I don't know where I heard this but it reminded me - "I remember when Pride was basically a funeral march; you never knew who was going to make it to next year back then."

Way to call a sneak for your QB whose ankle is wonky. I have no skin in the game, but come on.

Yeah, Vince is an earner, but is it worth adding to all the ongoing strife within/between the families to protect one civilian earner?
He was also literally the only person that never skimmed from Rudy too.
Even with 366 closed, Rudy said he was going to find another place for Vincent.

Hulu does have a lot of good stuff. I really wish they had a download and watch offline option though. I have watched a decent amount of original content.

The key point there is that Rudy said, "I gave him permission". Rudy (a made guy) getting taken out then evens it for the son. *If* he wasn't made. If he was made, then forget it.
Then you take over for Rudy and get all the income. You tell Vincent - Everything is even. This stops now. You take it further, then it's on you.

Wasn't expecting Rudy to bite it. Thought it would probably be Tommy so I appreciated that unexpected twist. I'm assuming that Tommy got the green light to take out Rudy based on Rudy's belligerence and lack of cooperation with the other made guy.
Is Tommy a made guy? I would assume he is, but I don't recall. I kind of call mild bs on this. To be fair, given what the show has said about the internal strife, I guess. But Rudy correctly pointed out that he had solid, credible earners in his crew, and I would think that warranted a sit down with his higher ups. I know this isn't a show about the inner workings of the mafia, but Rudy had good relationships with his crew, so where is all that money going to go now? He also correctly pointed out that the son of a made guy isn't necessarily protected. I guess Vincent is his tragic flaw, even though Vincent is the only one above board.

It seemed that she was receptive to his pass/seduction. It appeared to me that it was all Harvey who put the brakes on it, after initiating it. I wonder if others saw it the same.
That was my take. I think she even cradled his arm.

I do too. To be fair, after Lori sang at the bar, she told Fig, 'I'll do whatever.' So, Fig was just doing her job. Lori is completely valid in being totally over this shit, but, what was she expecting to happen at this point. She effectively reached the pinnacle of A list porn star.
I'm not so sure Vincent is doomed. It's documented that he's a good earner. Rudy gave him the protection to off the guy, who is known as a drug dealer, which the old school guys won't like. I don't think Tommy would say anything bad about him either, and he knows first hand Vincent earns. Getting rid of Rudy might have actually put him in the clear.
The tragic part is that if Vincent left well enough alone, then Rudy wouldn't have got got.

The first two seasons of Prison Break were great, but after that...I didn't like.
That's a show that is just so batshit that you want to see how ridiculous it can be.
Did you watch the spin off? It was actually really good and could have gone on longer because they could rotate the cast out.

That's the thing. I don't know what the game is with these streaming services. Really, if all I had was Netflix, there's enough content to last me decades.
I know part of it is the libraries of old shows that each one has, but I don't care.

I love Christmas as much as the next person and all the hype that comes with it, but save it for December.
I don't really like it that much because the travel is arduous. I can get away with just staying home on Thanksgiving and doing nothing.

Yeah, but Lowe's don't need to be putting out xmas trees in September though.

One of the interesting facets of our times with all these streaming platforms is that not everything has to be necessary.

Horny ass Greens! I hope they play it up in the show. Not that I need full on sex scenes, but overt enough that it's like, well, those three look like they've had a good time!
But my point is still apt. There is literal, tangible evidence of what happened where there were a bunch of channeling dudes running around going nuts, so everyone has a reason to be concerned. The general treatment though to just guys really doesn't have an excuse. And the literal, physical violence towards women is inexcusable as well.
On the other hand, once the taint was cleansed, one of them needed to step up and shut that shit down to focus on the larger goal. Even the final battle took too long because everyone was up in their own shit. You'd think Ny would have been more vocal about it being directly responsible.
For as much as there are a lot of good things in this series, interpersonal relationships overall were rather stunted. Honestly, I think Mat probably got along with women the best and each treated one another with some reasonable mutual respect. And he was drunk most of the time.

I liked when Tani answered her phone and said "Hi Juns, you're on speaker. EVERYONE IS HERE," which in my fan-fictiony, Tani and Junior shipping heart meant, "no sexy talk, Lou is listening!"
I'll allow it. Who goes to the opera as 'just friends?' Of course, it's ridiculously unprofessional. So, a perfect fit for this show.
The way this show is, it's perfectly ok for me if they're hooking up on the dl. I don't know how since Junior lives at Steve's, and Steve is a total nosy bitch who would note if Junior just happens to be not around.

I'm all for anyone speaking their mind. I can't stand the 'shut up and play' attitude because politics and sports have been intertwined since the beginning of time, but, on the other hand, you don't have to have a response all the time to everything about everything. Discretion, valor, etc.

hahahahahaha. I don't normally watch previews.
S17.E31: Susan Rice, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Danielle Pletka, Sam Stein, and Thomas Chatterton Williams
in Real Time With Bill Maher
· Edited by DoctorAtomic
Yeah they shut her up after that.
I'll concede a pleasant surprise that Tyson walked back from the tweet. The interview was all right.
That was a long walk for the R Kelly joke but that's how you stick a landing.
That dude at the end had zero fucks for Pletka. He was like, yeah fuck your never Trump bullshit.
