    No idea if any of this should be spoiler tagged, given the first series has been out for a while, but just in case:

    He may have already started. Nobody really knows what happened to the poor kid found in the road.
  3. Augustus
    He was doing both. His motives were altruistic and selfish.

    Well there's a learning experience there. If you're mugging on your side piece at a game and the camera zooms in on you, don't alter your behavior, and for DAMN sure don't make it obvious you're cheating. Nobody will pay attention. He guaranteed that video would fly around the world with his obvious "OH SHIT" reaction.

    Of course. I was so focused on the dude eating in the row behind him (trying to see if he was putting food in his mouth, or taking it out) I didn't even notice.
  6. Augustus
    I think that's playing backwards... I think.

    Yes, the supplies were supposed to be an up-front payment so he could get across the country. Given that he delivers Ellie, Marlene may have thought he received what he needed.

    So, I've begun a rewatch, and noticed in the first episode, when we cut away from Galadriel aboard the ship to Elrond and Gil-Galad, Elrond says that Galadriel has passed beyond his sight and that she was so certain her search would continue. Gil-Galad replies: "We foresaw that if she had, she might have inadvertently kept alive the very evil she sought to defeat. For the same wind that seeks to blow out a fire may also cause it's spread." A bit of obvious foreshadowing that I didn't pay enough attention to for it to occur to me in the rest of the episodes. She did save his life in a later episode, right? Getting him to the elves to heal his abdominal wound?

    This might be recency bias, but I'm gonna say no.

    I wonder how this will affect the upcoming visit to Newark by the Nigerian Prince.

    Very sorry to hear that. Snatch and The Gentlemen were fantastic. I was hoping this would stack up.

    Okay, this is from an episode recap: So that subpoena that Crippen tossed into the fire was for Brooks. I guess all we really know is that Goldstein supplied the produce for Brooks' casino boats, and that Brooks owned the boats, the boating operation was scamming its creditors, and both Goldstein and Brooks were murdered after receiving a grand jury summons. And someone planted a Santa Monica phone number in the evidence box with Brooks' belongings. So that's what we know. Along with the fact that Gretchen Mol apparently does not age.

    Was that Old Man McCutcheon? I thought it was one of the guys that the murdered McCutcheon was pitching the baseball team nonsense to, who was telling him it wouldn't work. I thought his dad was a different actor.

    It's a topic regarding movies/tv in general.

    Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

    "All I know is that my loss is your gain." Can't imagine what the traders were thinking/feeling knowing they're dumping absolutely worthless dogshit on everyone.
  17. Augustus
    I must confess a degree of confusion. No idea what's going on with Goldstein and who the old man was that burned that grand jury summons. Maybe I need to watch the first episode again

    Councilman Quintana referring to the affair as "an oversight" got a belly laugh from me. As did the fact that they actually "rescinded" the agreement. Why bother rescinding an agreement with a nonexistent entity?

    These are the people we elect.

    If you find it difficult to believe (as I certainly did) that there are legit attempts being made to normalize pedophilia, you must not spend much time on twitter. Someone above mentioned "Minor Attracted Persons," and that is a very real sexual orientation that a scary number of people are trying to legitimize. This is just one example, but after the most recent Michael Jackson documentary came out, with those two guys who detailed how Jackson groomed and molested them, Barbara Streisand said, referring to MJ, "Well, that's his sexuality." And referring to the victims, she said, "They survived." As if that meant they were otherwise unharmed. Which is the same thing you can say about a rape victim, I suppose. Anyway, nutjobs like Streisand aside, people are becoming less frightened of speaking openly about pedophilia and how children are mature enough to consent at very young ages, etc etc, and it's disturbing as hell.

    I fucking love that movie.
  22. Augustus
    Yeah, they were using a valid problem as cover for their cannibalism.
  23. Augustus
    Yes
  24. Augustus
    Yes, the guy Joel killed was absolutely the little girl's dad. And they were trying to kill Joel to add him to the menu. Winter's hard, game is scarce, so they were a cannibalistic hunting party.

    Went right over my head. When the dude brought the huge tray of meat into the kitchen and she asked what it was, I thought "what the fuck do you think it is?" Never even occurred to me. Of course, a group of fully capable human beings elect to put a psychopath in charge. Wouldn't be so depressing if there weren't so many real world examples. I just finished watching the Vow II, and I marvel at how willing a bunch of clearly intelligent people are to submit themselves to an obviously sociopathic con man. Regarding Bella, I mentioned this in a previous post, but she's made a lot of us look foolish with her acting chops on display in this series. More power to her.
