Big Blue Huddle

Just started a new show on Showtime starring Bryan Cranston called "Your Honor." Curious if anyone else watched the first episode. So far it seem very promising. It takes place in New Orleans, and it is about a respected judge whose son is involved in a hit and run. The second episode airs tonight (Dec 13). I never leap to conclusions about a series either way after just one episode, but this one has potential to be a really good thriller.

Primal Fear is outstanding. Definitely one of the better thrillers of the past few decades. Great acting by Edward Norton in that movie, and Gere is also very good as the cocky lawyer.

As for the Undoing finale:

I liked the ending overall. My only gripe with it was the murder scene was not as convincing as it could have been. Grant goes from a passionate, intimate scene to being in a violent rage way too easily. Elena just brings up having tea with Grace and their respective kids, and Grant goes nuts right there and threatens her and quickly begins to slam her head. I get that he is a psychopath capable of murder, but if he were this easy to set off into a rage, surely this would have come up at some point during his 15 or so years of marriage to Grace? I feel like they could have developed this scene a little bit better.

I also found it a little bit hard to believe that Henry (Grace and Jonathan's son) was prepared to remain as blindly loyal to his father as he did throughout the show. We're supposed to believe that this kid is going to remain loyal to his Dad when he (1) cheated repeatedly on his mother and (2) killed someone? That strains credibility. It's not like the kid is six years old.

Overall a very strong show. Extremely well shot, superbly casted, and a very compelling, engaging plot. Nice job by all involved, and I hope it wins some awards.

I thought it was a tremendous show. Extremely well shot, top notch cast and acting, well written for the most part, and gripping throughout. I too certainly won't give anything away as I don't want to ruin it for anyone intending to see it who hasn't yet, but it was very enjoyable and kept us guessing throughout.

I probably have one or two things I would gripe about if I were pressed to give a longer review, but overall I thought it was excellent.

Even though the week one game against these guys was one we would like to forget, we did move the ball very effectively in that game. 470 total yards I believe. 8.9 yards per rushing attempt too. The issue was we could not stop them, we struggled in the red zone, and we also struggled on third down. But in terms of moving the ball, that was not a problem for us in that game. With Van Der Esch out and the Giants coming off a game in which the offense was pretty functional, I see no reason why we would struggle to move the ball in this game. The issue will be whether we can get some stops. This is a very tough O line, as we all know, and our secondary and linebackers got torched the last time. Hopefully with Williams we can at least slow down the run and maybe get a bit more of a pass rush on Dak. I don't think our guys will be in his face all night, but in the week one game he could have worn a tuxedo back there. Hopefully that's not the case again, and I don't think it will be.

I see a high scoring game either way. Maybe 30-27 Dallas. Hopefully we can find a way to win, but either way I don't think we'll get humiliated like last time.
