Saw that too, no surprise. Is there anyone more sleazy than Rahm Emanuel?

You can always count on Paula for a concise journalistic analysis!

Me too. Check! Check! Check!

Agreed, made it halfway through! Ugh!

With all the unbridled sexuality, rampant drug use, excessive drinking, scant clothing, sun, sand, ocean and severe shade in The Pines, these producers pick the most boring jerks on the island. Parental visits? Dirty Kitchens? Speedos left on counters? The Drama!

That would be my favorite ending, E&P bringing the kiddies back to the motherland. You think Henry's moody now? Philip: Henry, I have good news and bad news. Henry: Good news first. Philip: Your mother and I agree that you should go to a new school Henry: And the bad news? Philip: The school's in Moscow.

Didn't Pope strangle his daughter's mother Catherine? Pope has to pay.

I think Amy was just as starstruck as Andy, she seemed to luxuriate in all the attention Goldie was receiving.

I heart poetic justice.

Isn't that part of what the show is about? Having rootable characters committing indefensible acts? I watch this show with a friend, meaning we watch separately but then talk about it afterwards. He loves P&E, he roots for them, he hopes they get a happy ending. I, on the other hand, wish them nothing but a miserable existence, I don't forget the innocent people they murdered. The producers/writers were looking for and achieving moral ambiguity. And with this particular episode, I believe E shot the husband first so the alleged Nazi collaborator would suffer in her final seconds.

Agree! Cuteness overload, indeed! That is one thing this show has that no other show has. Another is the money angle, the most recent episode there were no freebies. The couple had a clear budget ($100,000, part of the late uncle's estate I would imagine), and prices of the various projects were talked about. Some reno shows just give homeowners a reno with no word on budget.

I object! Elle Woods actually won a case!

But he loves to say it! Butterscotch!

I got FJ because of a short story by Lawrence Block which included the following Michelangelo quote about sculpting David: "It is easy. You just chip away the stone that doesn't look like David."

I've read two articles on news of the second season (yay!) and neither one mentions anybody coming back. The only quote from Fox is “a new chapter of the iconic franchise”. Do you have different sources?

He said 'who is that?' and then Sasheer said 'I don't know'!

I DVR'd it, watching it tonight, cannot wait!

Right, when kids eat healthy, they're healthy. This is long-term investing. I'm so old I don't remember eating breakfast or lunch, for that matter in grade school. High school yes, grade school no. I got lunch money everyday in high school and I bought cigarettes!

I said "The Rolling Papers", and thought it was the definitive answer! Thank god I'm not on this show. Why did Darrell Hammond even show up?

Ignorance run rampant! The constitution doesn't have a daily briefing mandate. Can't WG google this shit?

Right! Memories of Bitsy.

I'm happy the show is renewed. Very happy. But there is no way Season 2 can be better than Season 1. Season 1 had it all, great protagonists, wonderful villains, a complex plot and most importantly, dramatic pacing, including one of the best reveals of recent memory. I hope they can do better!

Pure speculation, but couldn't the LWK&R deal and the AI deal been negotiated all at once, but TPTB decided to announce the LWK&R news first, generate some speculation (your welcome!) and buzz on the AI deal in the media, and then announce the AI deal. It just seems weird to me that Ryan Seacrest signs a deal with LWK&R/ABC, and all of sudden, out of nowhere, this gift-wrapped present from ABC falls out of the sky into RS's Soulcycled lap.

It was also mentioned in the movie Philomena (with Judi Dench) that Russell adopted from an Irish magdalene laundry.

Doesn't it seem that the new AI on ABC is really part of RS's multi-level contract with LWK&R?
