Mr R Tuesday? special: Tessa Thompson, Valkyrie

Brownies WON a game - woo hoo!!! 

Flip a coin to predict the outcome of Thursday night's titanic struggle against
the always evil, amazingly resurgent and resilient Steelers. 

Even though I'm forever rooting for Clev, pigskin logic says it's a short week and better coaching and team discipline wins this one. Both those, alas, have been in short supply off Lake Erie's northcoast this season.

Friday Comic Booker: Daredevil 256 cover

Loved the Typhoid Mary story back in the day. 

Can't remember one iota of it now (did she appear on the TV series?). Ought to reread it; probably ought to put that on list with the many other "oughts". 

FYI:  look closely at the fishnet pattern on her left calf to see what
happens when a scrawler loses focus:  bigfoot fur!!!

Enjoy your weekend!

Mr R Monday Special: Anna Torv (Wendy, Mindhunter)

Mindhunter Season 2 is worth a watch, especially if you enjoyed the first season. This time, it focuses more on Bill than Holden.

Better Call Saul Mike Ermantraut (Jonathan Banks)

Will and I NetFlix zoomed through Better Call Saul seasons 1-3. Super fun, great characters, compelling drama and sometimes zany cinematography. 

We started Season 4 with high hopes and, ugh, found ourselves in a plot-less, aimless, sargasso sea of TV. Fantastic characters, like Kim and Mike, devolved into caricatures of themselves, so disappointing. Even the great and wonderful Saul was lost without Chuck as his foil (and without Chuck's foil too).

Don't know if we'll watch Season 5, if it ever appears. Would like to know what happens to Nacho and Kim. Such a bummer. 

Haven't watched El Camino yet, but hoping that's where Season 4's creativity, crisp writing and excitement went - don't spoil it!

Mr R Monday Special: Rhea Seehorn (Kim Wexler, Better Call Saul)

Saw Mr R recently. He's still logging mileage, despite tearing his MCL. 

Doc said that if he could take the pain, he couldn't do any more damage.

Go Mr R! But also think about getting that knee repaired, ok? 

Enjoy your week!
