Rivals is an excellent show, and it's Aidan Turner's best work since Poldark. However, you are correct, so now I can't unsee Borat.

Great job, everyone! I look forward to the next game, DrexlBickle!
Hi GolfnGuitars! Frasier is my absolute favorite, and I love this scene! I'm okay, but I've had some things going on that have kept me from MC. I hope you and your family are well!

It was a good topic. I'm finding all of the Bakers Dozen games are moving quite a bit more slowly than they once did. Getting #13 is tough because I think people don't want to start a new game.
You might want to edit the thread title with CLOSED at the beginning so people are aware you've closed it.
Hello again, roger1/ecarle! I'm very sorry that you lost ecarle, and I hope you can get back into that account! The General Discussion board occasionally talks about who is the "dean" of Movie Chat. You're the provost, even going back to the IMDb days!
Please forgive my delay in replying. I had a stressful work week, but actually they are all stressful to be honest.
You said you wanted punishment for Tony. I felt that way about Don Draper. Even though he had the occasional moment of goodness (I felt particularly empathetic towards him in that amazingly beautiful Carousel pitch scene with the Kodak execs), he was deeply flawed. I remember an episode when Betty, the ice queen she was, told Don he was not a "good person." I find it ironic that Betty seemed to get the definitive kick in the gut with her cancer diagnosis while Don emerged stronger than ever after his vision quest.
I didn't pick up on the Hitchcock allusions in season 2 of Mad Men, or maybe I did and have forgotten! I will look for those when I rewatch. You draw excellent connections between David Chase and Hitchcock. I am very impressed at how much nuance you pick up in the shows that are connections to others. How have you acquired all of your knowledge that helps you make all of these connections?

4. Trading Places (1983) A fave movie, but the trading floor scene defies logic as they never would have been allowed there, let alone accomplish what they did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLySXTIBS3c
5. Speed (1994) Great action flick. The bus jump scene defies the laws of physics, though. https://youtu.be/dKJa-KQNjQU?si=Cnki_5Ks4ppVJpV8
6. Skyfall (2012) Yes, Bond has nine lives, but getting shot and falling a couple hundred feet into water should've done him in. https://youtu.be/XoomvWXunRc?t=61

Agree! The show crafted an intimacy between viewer, town, and characters that is a great comfort. This is why I only allow myself one episode a day! I want to live in Cicely longer rather than a shorter time with a binge watch!
I also identified with Joel's culture shock, but mine was delayed. When I moved to where I live now just a week before the very final episode, I was thrown into an unfamiliar and uncomfortable environment. It took me years to adapt.
