The TV thread

I care for the assistant.

'Dave' was renewed for season 3.

 

The assistant gives off strong Angie Harmon vibes - in terms of character. I kind of liked the new ADA. It's kind of a change of pace to get one who's not willing to do everything possible to get the "guilty" verdict, since that was McCoy and others' MO.

 

I liked Ben Stone much more than McCoy.

 

We are caught up with the released 4 episodes of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (with 4 more to come) and really nothing has happened this season. One big speech and the rest is all costumes and quirks.

 

Anyone still watching the Walking Dead? I didn't like the first episode when they came back mostly because It seems like Maggie's return she is 5 years emotionally behind everyone else. They handled her absence poorly and they have handled her return worse. But this week's episode just didn't make any sense. They're taking huge chunks of time in these episodes and they're just not telling a very cohesive story at this point

 

It feels like they are rushing things because it is the final season. This last episode was jarring, and not in an entertaining way.

I agree regarding Maggie. Her actions in the previous episode seem particularly out of place now. Of course, we saw at the end of the episode that her attitude is going to create a conflict.

 

"Wings" actress Farrah Forke, who played Alex on that show and was in a handful of other shows in the 1990s and 2000s, died at the age of 54.

The HBO series on the Lakers is awesome. 37 minutes into episode 1 and Jack Kent Cooke is already shown to be the enormous racist piece of shit, asshole and fuckstain we knew him to be. And Jerry West as a bitter drunk

 

I was wondering why the called it that stupid name, but then realized calling it "Showtime" on HBO might be confusing.

 

I believe that was its name in development, until someone at HBO said, "Why are we running it with this name?"

 

West was great.
I do like that they were sure to include that he pegged the second-best player in the draft. He was dead-wrong about Magic, but he wasn’t totally wrong.

 

AMC just can't let The Walking Dead go. They had already announced a spinoff series with Daryl and Carol. Now we bet Isle of the Dead in 2023. It is set on Manhattan and will be following the travels of ... Maggie and Negan? WTF?
