Just finished.
I agree this did nothing to advance the story. It was still good but just not up to the prior seasons.
It was like the writers couldn't come up with anything but found the best cinematographer they could and cleared out. He or she is brilliant.
I know I'm in the minority but Sydney does nothing for me. Shes the weak link in the show imo. I know I know.
Outside of her every actor was nails. You think, man the main characters are great then boom here come 2 minutes of Oliver Platt doing what he does. Stealing every scene he's ever been in for the last 30 years.
Finale, fuck I love Olivia Coleman. She brings grace, to everything.
The music was once again phenomenal. Ending with the hometown band Smashing Pumpkins scratched me right where I itched.
Let's finish strong .
I have no interest in today's LA whatsoever. But because I've been reading Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlowe books I find early 20th century LA and Hollywood endlessly fascinating.
I'll be interested to hear your review of this.
One thing I hate about aggy is the total lack of originality. Anyone who has been paying attention to them for any amount of time could tell you how they were gonna react with near 100% confidence.
At least when CDC stole Beard away from Tech we had a TT fan warn Beard that he better not ever show his face north of Sweetwater. Which imo is still an all-time take. It's perfect. There's no fat on that line. Never heard that⁸ before and likely never again.
My kingdom for some aggy to tell Schloss that if he knew what was good for him he better not go east of Dime Box.
But no. It's just conspiracy BS, various lawyering, death threats and anger.
No imagination. Fuckin amateurs.
You think that's bad? Rogers Hornsby was my manager, and he called me a talking pile of pigshit. And that was when my parents drove all the way down from Michigan to see me play the game
I'm the early 90s I stumbled upon a Fredrick's of Hollywood catalog. I then noticed that Leann Tweeden from those morning ESPN workout shows was one of the models. I had my secretary cancel all my appointments.
