Interesting brinksmanship here. Every Democrat in the Senate has now signed on to a bill to end mother/child separation at the border.

Pressure shifts to Senate GOP now, as Trump's attempts to blame Democrats now become even less believable. https://t.co/4hN6VT033B

He was a magnetic force even in his sadly truncated return. I loved what they were doing with Den Sr., Dennis and Sharon at that time, pushing them and phasing out Phil. It's sad how his life ended up, apparently several suicide attempts.

 

I'd forgotten Louise Jameson from Doctor Who was one of the first to urge him to get into acting when she was visiting prisons and he was still serving time.

This is a classic example why Mattis won’t do on-camera briefings. He was simply telling Navy grads the state of the world. By stating facts, looks like he’s contradicting the POTUS. It’s not intentional or insubordination. Same reason Dunford forces 4-stars to limit their press.

I've never liked Chris Hardwick.

LOL! It's cursed.

 

Season 1 was okay with a great cast, but a pale shadow of what it could've been. There was a lot of mediocre network TV episodic stuff. And they wasted no time pushing out the huge talents Fuller had hired (Nicholas Meyer, etc.) after the first couple episodes, and those two replacement showrunners weren't very good - and now apparently PR nightmares.

 

For all his eccentricities and recklessness with budget they should've left Fuller alone. Maybe he'd have flown the coop anyway, but we'll never know - and the incredible writers and directors he had in place were far above anything that aired in Season 1. Further, Alex Kurtzman is a massive hack. I guess I'll keep watching it out of my love for the franchise and cast, but after the silly finale bringing in the Enterprise I am not expecting a lot.

Does he have any movie projects or more TV projects lined up?

Has he finished forever with the world of Twin Peaks?
