Delightful. I was afraid that they might "modernize" past reasonability. Episode 1 was great. Love Louisa.

Yes watch it. It both informs and enhances Season 2. It's quite charming.

By splitting this into two parts and delaying the drop, they are going to get massive leaks. And they deserve it.

I loved the projections. Yeah, Dominic was terrific. That sob, that was the only sound in the scene where the courtier tells them she's dead, was awesome. Yes, Charles had to shame them into allowing the plane. Elizabeth Debecki was off the hook.

So I'll freely admit that The Irishman downright pissed me off. Other than Joe's constrained performance I loathed it. Tough for me because I love Marty. Thank God for this one. At the moment I decided that it was getting a bit too long, it effing switched gears. I didn't know about some of the late arrivee actors, but was damned pleased to see them. Lily was transcendent. She was the ultimate of Scorcese's "less" performances. How she can hold the camera. Marvelous. Leo was such a dumbass. It was hard to want to watch such a complete and utter dumbass. He was great, I'm not complaining. Just what an amoral dumbass. And it is great to see DeNiro turn it ON. Devious bastard. Quite memorable. Didn't feel like 3 1/2 hours and I loved the coda because a certain actress had a line in it. I loved her when she said in Goodfellas "I can't go without my lucky hat!"

Samantha Sloyan is my spirit animal. RIP Tammy

Bruce Greenwood's speech about lemons was everything. Instant classic. Extra special for Agents of Sheild fans. At least Camille had some world-class invective to hurl before her untimely demise. The monkey sounds over the closing credits was a creepy but funny addition.

Helena is what Indy was in Temple of Doom, in it for fortune and glory. But like Indy when push came to shove, her humanity rose to the top. She's his stand-in so to speak. He wanted to talk his son out of enlisting in the military, thus saving his life. But that was a foolish wish because he would never be able to talk Mutt out of anything. They were oil and water. Indy knew he was always powerless, even with a magical time machine it wouldn't have made a difference. Thus his depression.

Years ago my sister and brother and me went to a sneak screening of a soon-to-be-released film which we surmised was Spielberg's and Lucas' Indiana Jones film. Ohh we were so right. Midway through a gag, my sister anticipated the punchline so to speak, and in her delight, she screamed out "IT'S A COAT HANGER!!!!!!" A movie theater moment I will never forget. My brother is dead and my sister has had a stroke and will never see this film. I went to the theater alone this afternoon. So aged Indiana hit me particularly hard. And I loved it. It had all the hallmarks an Indy movie requires. The moving vehicle set pieces. So many damn Nazis. A likable kid. A feisty smart ass woman, And old friends. And snakes, okay well eels. Fabulous locations. What a terrific depiction of New York in '69. Excellent use of Magical Mystery Tour, cause all of them have been magical mystery tours. And his present life was so sad and drab and he was so out of place and lost. Yep, Sallah would have become a cab driver. And finally the time travel. I was so thrilled that it was time travel this excursion. I couldn't wait for it and it really measured up for me a history geek. For a moment I didn't like the ending. I did want Indy to stay in the past, I wanted him to become a piece of archeology himself. But then Marion showed up and I got the feels and yeah Indy should be there for her and she for him. Last but not least, Indy managed to destroy most of Hunter College's antiquity collection in one afternoon proving once again, that he is the most dangerous destructive archeologist EVAH!! PS: They tell us about Mutt in the first few minutes of the 1969 section. It's done visually.

Disneyland wasn't the expensive extravaganza back in the 60's as it is now. It was still affordable in the early 90's. And it certainly isn't Disneyworld.

Well if Bree and Roger come back in 1976. they come back during the Bicentennial celebration which went on ALL year. People dressed in Colonial garb would not have been out of place anywhere on the Eastern seaboard during 1976. I'm a woman of a certain age. If I landed in Ocracoke in 1976 with the right phone numbers remembered, I could be on a train to Boston the next day.

Basically no one knew Joe was obsessed with/screwing Marienne, except Marienne. So unless she comes forward that death goes unassociated with him. He was just a coworker as far as anyone else knew. No one knows he killed Benji, or Peach. Or that guy who thought he was Will Betelheim. They have who they think killed Bec. I'm pretty sure Ellie doesn't know he killed Henderson. Love killed Candace, Delilah and Natalie. And fucked up the neighborhood kid and the neighborhood guy who committed suicide in the cage. Paco is a loose end. He knows Joe has killed and where the body is. But he's probably not motivated to give him away. Dottie and her ex have a vendetta against him. But now they are outclassed financially by the Lockwood machine. Not many people floating around who have a motive or enough clout to take Joe down.

Except that after Joe buried the bodyguard he said that that would be the "last body I will bury." Then he goes to the bridge and throws Rhys over and then himself to kill them both. That doesn't sound like some one embracing their murderous side. I think only Rhys survived. That thing he said at the end about wanting to "be of service", that's a politician talking.

I'm on the fence about Kate. But I see her as a Ghislaine Maxwell character there at the end. An enabler to a monster. I do want to say that that wasn't Joe talking at the end, that was Rhys. They both went into the water but only Rhys came out. Does Kate even realize she's with Rhys? And will she object.

Nadia made a copy of his flat key I thought. Did she say she made a copy of the underground key? I'm confused about the keys, I thought the skeleton key was to the cage. Now I'm really confusing myself.
