I do not understand the rationale for Ansel moving. He wanted to be independent, he wanted to be "with the people like [him]", but he ended up moving with Grey? And he would sleep on the couch? What was the point? An LMAO moment when people in the bar gathered in front of the TV intently following... Canadian football game? I did not know that the CFL was that popular in Portland. And since when there was a fourth down in Canadian football? If the judge made $31M p.a., then his show was quite successful. Now, is there any TV judge show filmed outside of NY or LA?

I do not think I like this episode, it is poorly written. So the Sheriff and the Deputies were just waiting in their vehicles while an armed robbery was taking place? They did not setup perimeter nor get ready to catch the criminals? And when the security guard came, nobody intercepted? And so, the security guard got shot on the chest point blank, the robbers got away. Should they not have covered all exit points? I thought medical professionals had the obligation to report gun shot wounds? And I hate the trope where when law enforcement vehicles pass on the street / highway with emergency lights on and siren blaring, no single car pulls over. In fact, it seems like those cars are competing who can block best.

He could, but then Mickey would go into the secure area and Ray could not follow him further as he did not have boarding pass. Mickey then would just leave through arrival. Except of course, Ray would find a tape of TSA agents at the gate having an orgy party. Not only Darryl, but the rest of the Donovan boys. Listening to Ray's confession to his therapist, Mickey was a very, very bad father. Why any of them - including Ray - still stand up for him is beyond me. Not only that, was Darryl not a boxer? How did he lose the fight against Ray and only beat him with the cheap shot using the bottle? Apologies if this one is a bit unsavory, but I feel weird looking at Kerry Condon's nude pose, with her ribs hanging below her breast. Lastly, is there not a single corrupt law enforcement officer in Ray Donovan universe?

Being a government employee, the most unrealistic aspect for me is that they keep on pushing on Heller and Hanna despite the number of casualties on CIA's side, even from the beginning in Morocco. That is a lot of funerals to hold and families demanding explanation.

Even in real life, Usain Bolt is often called 'the fastest man alive'. So I am not sure how DC can claim that phrase as its property.

@Raja, this is the information from the Army about MOS 18X, which is for civilians who want to enlist directly into SF.

Warrant Officers in the Canadian Armed Forces are completely different with those in the U.S. Armed Forces. In the CAF, WO, Master WO and Chief WO enlisted ranks (or non-commissioned members in CAF terms), comparable to perhaps SFC, MSG and SGM. The CAF do not have the rank group between NCM and commissioned officers. WO ranks are only used by the Army and Air Force since the Royal Canadian Navy uses Petty Officers and Chief Petty Officers instead.

I may be very well wrong, but this is my understanding. A civilian can enlist in the Navy with the intention of going to SEAL. After Boot Camp, candidates go directly to Preparation Training then to BUDS. If they drop out, they get recycled to the tin can Navy. So supposedly one joins at 17 years old, it is conceivable to be qualified as an operator at 19 years. However, DEVGRU is a bit different. DEVGRU recruits not only in the SEAL community but NSWC wide. Therefore, while vast majority of DEVGRU are SEALs, there are also SWCCs. DEVGRU requires candidates to be at least 21 y.o. with combat experience. Regarding Special Forces and CAG (Delta). Special Forces candidates can come from other branches of the Army. CAG candidates however, only come from within ARSOC. Therefore CAG operators usually come from the Rangers or Special Forces.

I have about enough of the love quadrangle story. I want fun action, not soap opera. Having written that, let me see the elements of the love quadrangle. Grey slept with Dex, Dex slept with Liz (with or without sex), Liz slept with Grey, Hoffman slept with Dex. So all we need now is for Grey to sleep with Hoffman to close the loop. I dare TPTB to go there. Oh, and Liz to sleep with Hoffman too. If the love quadrangle is still on next year, I am out.

BTW you mentioned that your TV is from 2012. Is is 4K at all? If it is not, do not worry about all 4K setup as it does not matter for your TV.

Sorry to disagree, for me it is Gene Hackman.

Imagine if Henry Cavill was also involved.

It certainly is not. When Brandon Routh played Superman, his suit was a regular Superman suit, with red and yellow logo and clear 'S'. His logo in this show was a stylized 'S' in red and black.

"Sorry to pull you out of your meeting." WTF Liz? As far as she knew Maddy Tolliver was a perfect stranger doing her favors by looking after her daughter. Now Liz imposed that her neighbor needed to stop whatever she was doing to look after Agnes?

This would open a can of worms that TPTB may not want to venture. A new baby, particularly Lex's would be a major plot point. If TPTB ignored it, viewers may accuse them for dropping a major story line.

I recently dealt with selling/buying properties and this was the part that I failed to suspend my disbelief. So a 'European couple' bought the house - residential, not seasonal - a year ago and did not move in. After furnishing the house completely, not even once did they visit the house, otherwise Claire would know. They paid mortgage, insurance, taxes, utilities and everything without even visiting or renting the house or put it on Airbnb. And this broker had full access to the house, even after he sold it.

There is no thread about it so I will discuss it here. It is also the winter finale, might as well. I can not comprehend the ideology behind the Whisperer. Why are all those people following Alpha and her miserable way of life? What is the upside of following her? They camp in the open every night, exposed to the elements, they risk getting eaten by the Guardian almost all the time, and they just roam in the wild. How do they eat? How do they keep personal hygiene? Then not mention that Alpha and Beta are ruthless and ready to kill their followers on a whim. With Negan at least, he gave the Saviors relative comfort and prosperity. He was no less ruthless but his followers enjoyed good food and good, protected shelter. Same as the Governor and the cannibals.

I think the homosexuality issues in this episode hit us hard and become distraction. It is 2019 already. What fine dining restaurant in a major city in the Western world still has issue of what appears to be gay couple having a meal? As well, DADT was repealed in 2011. Since then, gay service members have been out in public, in uniform. I get it, it is a fictional universe. But the issues the show brings up IMHO is already past for viewers.

Bobby Simone? That is Victor Sifuentes for you, Sir.

Queen's Flash? WTF? That Flash refers to Flash Gordon, not The Flash. Completely different comic characters. Well, this viewer is not pleased. Imagine if any Star Trek show plays Imperial March in one of its episode.

ROFLMAO moments for the Cold Open, Morning News and The War in Words. Were Villaseñor in any of the sketches? She was at the closing scene, but I did not see her elsewhere. I am quite disappointed that a well-known and high-profile actress like Taylor Swift was not included in any of the sketches. She even has acting experience, no matter how bad or good.

Some of them are quite well-known on American TV, though. Emma Greenwell (Shameless), Joely Richardson (Nip/Tuck), James D'Arcy (Agent Carter).

Care to explain?

Those holding Canadian passports are Canadian citizens. They are not necessarily residents. Canadian residents live in Canada and pay Canadian taxes. Non-resident citizens do not.

Were not there siblings from previous season who also did not live in Canada? I agree with that sentiment. IMO, TAR-C racers need to be Canadian residents.
