      At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

        Hey American Ninja Warrior started again! Nice.

        I had to laugh at the guy from Alaska and the guy from Hawaii training together in Alaska... in Unalakleet... in winter. That's cold. (Also I think it would shock most people how well folks from Hawaii and Alaska get along).

          Saul finale was good and the season was good overall.

          Was a setup season imo for what comes next.

          The character acting was great though and McKeon was so, so good in that role. That final scene was freaky disturbing.

            Have to admit though that it took me most of season one to not see him singing, "Working on a sex farm..."

                  The last 2 episodes of Veep have been great. I didn't think the show would hold up without the fun insider politics, but I think paradoxically it actually caught a break with Trump winning and the general disgust and sadness surrounding politics. I can't even watch the final season of House of Cards, and I had loved it. But now... it's too depressing. There's no fun when it's happening for real.

                    It's funny you should say that about Veep. I watched this week's episode last night. There's something about this season that's not sitting well with me. I feel Selena is way meaner than in past seasons. It seems forced and unlike the character we've seen the last five years. The time jump between the last two episodes was too big. Her book was in print where in the previous episode, it wasn't even written. And it's been funny how she acts towards her daughter but this season, it's way too much.

                    That said, the Richard character is far and away my favorite. He steals pretty much every episode for me.

                      Gary is also brilliant. Selena was always a b-tch, it's just that much worse when it's deployed against the people in The Crew than it was when it was other pols. Dr. Mrs. & I were talking about how interesting Selena is as a character, and why it works. I like my wife's theory that the actress is so intrinsically likable that you can still have sympathy with Selena even as she is being awful. And of course many of the characters are terrible in their own, very DC, ways.

                      One of my favorite parts of the show is the 3 second HBO lead-in of her looking into the distance from the presidential desk, just before the episode starts. I think that pose says a million words about how we are all alone, inept, doubting, utterly at sea, just making it up as we go along. It's one of the most resonant images I have ever seen on TV.

                          I honestly wish Gary would die off. The character is a waste of space and stopped being funny 2 seasons ago. Yeah we get it you are a ***** who is in love with Selina and let her destroy you at all costs.

                          I agree with Scarlet, this season something is off. Maybe it is too much Jonah, or the splitting up of the team...I dunno but the magic is missing.

                              Agreed on all counts. And Chuck is smart in that last scene, however disturbing it is. That would prob be ruled an accident.

                              And what I thought would happen with Kim/Jimmy hasn't...yet. That sorta surprised me.

                              Finally, good to see Jimmy make right with the ladies. I will give him credit there, although he still did it in his own twisted way.
                              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
