Not all of the audience would know that. Maybe even the writer didn't know that, if true. It's writer's license.


Sigh. The writers are supposed to know what
they write about or it makes them look like
unprofessional idiots.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

What is their track record so far?

Still wondering if anyone can guess what show Banks played a cop on in the 80s.

I had high hopes for Wise Guy. Great premise, solid characters, good actors. However the plot lines were weak and it couldn't figure out where it was going.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

Nope, at least not the one I was thinking of.

Watched some sort of mini-marathon last night but woke up and it was Black Hawk Down.
Don't think there was any new episode.

Did figure out about
the dead Navy man
. Don't know how I missed it before.

They finally found the Civilian who was "not in the game" ... turns out he was not a civilian after all.

I bet Salamanca ends up in a wheel chair due to the efforts of
the sailor's wife.


All show long I kept thinking 'pick up the pace'.

Just watched the last episode and already
can remember nothing from it almost.
Chuck is suing, who cares. His GF crashes
her car, who cares. We saw 4 min of
Mike, that's it. 3 min of Gus Fring.
One episode left. This one was worthless.

The car crash thing was weird. I guess it is a big foreshadow. Of what it remains to be seen. The whole season seems to be a bridge of sorts. I am thinking two more and that is about it. Will we in the end get to see Saul arrive in Omaha?

The car crash was the result of his interaction with his partner and his utterly ignoring her being in a desperate rush. Foreshadows the end of their relationship as well as the manner in which it ends.

Hmmm, makes some sense. At work a few of us found it funny we worked with pooled units all day then come home to relax and see the same on the show. FWIW the situation the guy is in does not seem very realistic but after the "Dallas" reboot I have kind of just let it go when the oil and gas law makes no sense.
