Well, I watched it.  (What can I say?  I'm a glutton for punishment.)

Truly, utterly bizarre.

Yes, indeed, although I'll agree with those who said they never saw this coming. A creepy, creepy fusion of art and life.

Spacey has played deeply disturbing roles for so many years, and they are what made him a star. I know actors aren't always what they play best, but...

 

I'm so glad I never really watched House of Cards. 

I watched HOC but I always wondered about why people would cheer for Frank Underwood.  I thought both Frank and Claire needed to go to prison, they were both selfish, horrible people who perverted democracy and justice.

CBS gets its first female news head.

 

 

Congratulations to Susan Zirinsky.

It still remains, though, that a highly qualified woman only seems to get serious consideration for a top-level job after men have thoroughly messed up.  True progress would be, not having to go through that additional layer of chaotic mess.

Cross-posted but still, wow.

Zirinsky was the inspiration for Holly Hunter’s character in Broadcast News three decades ago 👍🏻 https://t.co/vL0Ps7SrVx

Not shocked but SMDH.

 

 

^ So many of these predators are getting a second chance.  It's disgusting, but not unexpected.

A nice story about the late James Gandolfini.
