A great action piece can energize an attention span but plugging the acting talent to words that allow them to emote beautifully is sublime. 12-Mar-2018

Jane steps up to Lilly's pedestal and the gay daddies are finally getting storylines worthy of their aptitude and our senior representation. The adorableness takes away some of the fear of getting older and the girls supply a comfortable environment to bask in. 16-Jun-2017

Season 2, episode 7 allowed all the women performers to convey loveliness and unity in their art. 14-Jun-2018

This is what happens when you take the word of the "book" seriously without weighing the morality or the consequences of a privileged and archaic life. Elizabeth Moss heroically endures much so we can understand the sacrifices the underprivileged must make to survive in a new world that constantly spits in her face, without exploitation. It's scary because even though its fiction, it fits our current mentality like a glove. 16-Jun-2017

The momentum Matt retained with Episodes is lost. Everyone is coasting. You can place a drink on it (coaster) but unmoved liquid will always ooze through. 12-Nov-2016

The "smug" will hate because they'll see adults combating issues regarding the politics of the world and self-medicating to reach a nirvana without acquiescence. The Legend Bates headlines, clenches the words to support her character in fighting for feminism whilst her voice hoarses from being judged as a parent, an independent and a liberator.

The cast is inclusive, contributing and winning. We finally get to see what Nicole Sullivan has been always hiding from us and Chris Redd and Betsy Sodaro gives us the funny that Kanye and Khloe cant.

There's also man squish, adorability, creativity and truth. You'll get high even when you're not. 03-Dec-2017

Hello. I'm back. There is no time to quibble when the country needs allies. Bill, you make me mad and I need to stay mad so we are alerted and can endure. 30-Jan-2017

Thanks for the adult, witty, thought-provoking, thought-smashing, sometimes awkward or infuriating and mostly funny conversations/arguments. I don't always agree but I know your heart's in the right place. Even cranky Bill is better than none or most. 01-Nov-2015

At first glance, you are inclined to think that this is an exploitation of a classic and respected series with token latino stereotypes. By the fourth episode you realize that it chose this community to depict because it needs updating the most and it feeds right into the original's claim. It's hard raising a latin family when the men are scarce and the women try to empower themselves at the cost of tradition. There are times you will be transported to all those arguments Lear presented between classic characters, fair to each but being persistent that the last word goes to the changing present. Justina Machado plays Penelope Alvarez with the same amount as distraught, parental overprotection and survivor's challenge that Bonnie Franklin's Ann Romano did. Rita Moreno's accent is old fashioned pastiche but she is a full character, beloved and is having a helluva time making us laugh. The kids aspire for realness instead of cute and Schneider is cute without the creep. 30-Jan-2017

The show may have its blemishes but the whole is resplendent. There are frequent instances where Ronald D. Moore will ask the viewers to commence anew with contrasting situations and characters but he always relies on the one constant that upholds the story...romance. Caitrona Balfe as Claire Randall Fraser who compels Sam Heughan's Jamie Fraser from brute to man is the force of the show and the sentimentality. Balfe has a warming timbre and luxurious tilt. I want her to read me a story and in this situation she executes it persuasively. Heughan is virile, protective and heroic. His "Sassenach" phrase can inflame like his stature can overcome. Once we explore the cultivation of their coupling all exposition depends on the chemistry they have in bales to spare us.

This season the makers awarded us with what appeared to be the closing of a story and the prospect of letting us imagine the best end scenario for the doomed lovers. It was fearless, mature and gut wrenching. Unlike its brethren, Outlander's contentious moments were few and provoking but thanks to regardful writing we were allowed to heal along with the characters. The show validates Battlestar Galactica's proficiency as no fluke and Moore and his staff inspired.

Tobias Menzies as the nefarious Captain Randall is unnerving because the writers have the boldness to endow his character with the backstory of a damaged survivor whose actor civilizes him. You hate the character but respect the performer for defining the monster with the right amount of fine tuning.

Graham McTavish as Dougal Mackenzie and Jamie's uncle is bountiful Daddy Squish with some choice acting skills that impelled us to always question the character, his intentions and our investment. Dashing.

I don't know how the story can continue with the completion of the season finale but I'm tuning in and hoping that these creators can overcome the structure and deliver us noble artistry once again.

The last episode where a major player gets her "evil freak on" was crazy. I think I like. 15-Dec-2016
