  1. I watched the behind the scenes thing they do after the episode, and the director said they did both a continuous take, and shot scenes individually. They sort of gave credit to Kieran Culkin and the Director for the idea. But the director did say that more of the continuous take made it into the episode. Also read an interview linked by Alan Sepinwall with the actress who plays Shiv. She said that even when the stuff in the episode was in a different room (for example, Kendall going outside for a call), they left one camera in the room with Roman/Shiv on the phone with Tom, and they had to ad lib things that weren't in the script. She said she didn't know how much, if any of that ad libbing made it into the episode, but that is a whole different level of staying in character/living the emotions that you're acting. Also Kieran Culkin said something about the toll it took on him and the other actors to film this episode. Having to spend 2 weeks or however long in that emotional headspace, and then go home and try to remember he didn't actually suffer an emotional catastrophe even though his body felt like he had. Made me think of Heath Ledger, and how he died after playing the Joker. Hadn't really thought of it like that until then, because obviously Heath isn't around to have an interview like that.
  2. Hole. E. Shit. Did anyone else notice the pronounced lack of music during the main part of the episode? From when the phone call started until the plane landed I don’t think there was any music at all. Just let the actors do their thing.
  3. I’m no law prof, and I earned a C in crim law, but even I know that what Abbott called “jury nullification” isn’t how jury nullification actually works.
  4. This take aged poorly.
  5. I actually prefer the regular over the pintos+chorizo.
  6. Case?
  7. The Cadets have a strict curfew.
  8. I have this too. What a joke of a website.
  9. $100MM to each kid. Not sure what their ownership stake is, but some articles I've read have pegged it at 2.5%. They said in episode one they would each be getting about $2 Billion each. And that would mean the sales price would be around $80 Billion. So that would mean the sales price would have to go up by 5% or so (~$4 Billion more) for them to each net another $100MM.
  10. Which Roy? They’re all over this show.
  11. Am I the only one that actually watches on Sundays here? All the posts positing that it would be Logan who kills the deal, and it’s actually Shiv because she’s pissed about divorce attorneys. What a turn.
  12. Well, let’s add 16 more to this streak then why don’t we?
  13. When was the last time Texas had a 15 game winning streak? I know that we have 30+ game winning streaks in the 70s and 80s, but I can’t remember a winning streak this long in a while. We had a long one back in 2010 - it was like 20 or 21 games. Have we had one like that since that I’ve forgotten?
  14. The actress is/was pregnant (and was pregnant during filming).
  15. Good, but I also liked playing with a chip on our shoulder. Hope that keeps up.
  16. My wife caught this - in public (like when Tom was at the bar/on the phone with Shiv) he wasn't wearing his wedding ring. At home, he was. Shows he's putting on a facade of honoring the "trial separation" in public, but in private he hasn't given up on the marriage. Also, he called Shiv under the pretense of "honoring their agreement" to tell each other if they are seeing anyone, but in reality it was to tip off Shiv about the Pierce play. So he cares about her enough to give her the ability to make her own move (knowing how she feels about the election/democracy being under attack). He still wants to be with her. Remains to be seen if she ever comes around to wanting to be with him.
  17. What comes after 9? 9B?
  18. Let’s do this
  19. That was fun.
  20. It's "allegedly" to keep the media from being sued for libel/tainting the jury pool/etc. So basically, lawyers.
  21. What you want NMAS to do: What NMAS is going to do:
  22. Thanks for the recommendation. My kid's favorite place these days is Parkway Tavern - so we go there most trips. Need a car (or an uber) to get there.
