Re: Weird Quirks You Have?

I'm over here waiting for Yoda to enumerate his quirks... and I'm hoping none of them are things he inherited from me, though I suspect some might be. :D

They have stingers. One nabbed me on the ankle when I was a teenager and wouldn't let go. Had to swipe him off with several quick hand swipes (in a panic) before he dropped off. I've only been stung...

See my spoiler-hidden comment in this thread a few bumps up. That's how I viewed Shiv's decisions in the finale.

Shiv's progression of thought in the finale is clearer to me than it was Sunday night while watching the finale.

I hadn't noticed Greg checking out the bell. That's so Greg. :D And yes, I was watching Kendall being followed at the end, assuming a possible suicide attempt.

It somehow brought the series into the kind of focus I'd been wanting, encapsulating itself and letting even the twists I didn't see coming make a LOT of sense. Really well done.

Re: Succession

Just finished the series finale. I won't mention any specifics so soon after its airing, but I'll say this:

It exceeded my best expectations and hopes. Somehow they managed to get me to appreciate...

Re: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon Prime)

LOVED this show, although somewhere in the deep middle it felt a little sloggy to me. But it perked up here in the last season, and I give the series two thumbs up.

You're right about Rachel...

Gideon58 ... Great post with so many fun questions! Thank you for reminding me that it is at least a little bit fun to watch these insane people interact. :) I'd almost lost that thought.

I don't mind unlikable characters. But when all of them are unlikable and none of them ever change, then they've kinda lost my excitement for the series. If that's what my opinion boils down to, then...

Good post, AKA23. I do see tiny moments here and there where the sibs each seem to be more aware of their situations/struggles post-Logan. I just don't see how we're going to get the kind of...

Re: Succession

Clearly we see this show differently. Comparing this story to, say, LOTR, simply because of some really general point each might be trying to make, is a bit of a stretch, yes? :D

If I ever stated that Logan shouldn't have died, then I recant. :) He pretty much HAD to die, given the show's title and premise.

Also, I have no problem with stories about futility. But they have...

I'm pretty sure he was also in the HBO series Rome, which ended too soon (as too many HBO series in the past have done). Sad to read this, since he had a particular flair for being funny while acting...
