Apparently not. I understand this is only an eight episode story, and she's not listed on IMDB.The Sybian wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2023 2:19 pmBiggest question, is Natalie Zea in the reboot?

So I'm finally getting around to watching Outlander (first 6 seasons are on Netflix).
S1:E2 Annette Badland - the bartender in Ted Lasso - is the matriarch in Castle Leoch.

Holy shit. I was watching Lasso last night and wondering what else I'd seen her in.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Can we use "in" and not have it count as a letter? If so, you set up a really easy one.

One of the cool features about stuff that shows up on Prime is that you can pause it and whoever is in that scene pops up with a bio.Giff wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 4:40 pmFrequently heard in our house, "you gonna IMDB that or do you want me to?"The Sybian wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 4:23 pmI constantly do that, drives my wife nuts, but they she gets excited when we realize someone was a bit character in a show we watched many years ago.EnochRoot wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 4:19 pmHa!Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 12:37 pmHoly shit.

Exactly. I regularly find myself pausing shows on other channels futilely looking for info about who's on screen.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Just last night I tried to see if Peacock had a similar function.
Watched the first two episodes of Killing It with Craig Robinson. It's quirky and weird, but I'm enjoying it. The Australian woman is supposed to be annoying AF, but I could see her pushing it over the line and making the show annoying.
Also halfway through Mrs. Davis. Another weird show I'm enjoying. Gotta love Betty Gilpin.

We’ve been watching an Australian show on Netflix called Fisk. Pretty damned funny.

We’ve also been enjoying the 4th (and final) season of Breeders on FX/Hulu. Martin Freeman is great.

Sucks the only way to own those Michael Dorman tunes is to buy them via Amazon. But you're right - that show is probably top ten all time for me, and half of the reason is you never get tired of Dorman's expressiveness. He exudes exhaustion. And he comes off like his heart rate is what, 40 bpm?

How To With John Wilson has to be one of my favourite shows ever. I have never not laughed during an episode.
The episode "How To Watch The Game" was absolutely amazing.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
It's such a unique show. I love how he is willing to let the episodes go completely off course when something more interesting happens. I also find myself wondering how many hours of weird footage he has on file to flash something hilarious that matches in a strange way to what he is saying.

I don’t think they ever quite made the jump to tie everything together and as much as I liked Holbrook’s performance not sure if his character wasn’t the weak link* as you suggested as they just tried to get by on his charisma or whatever but seeing Raylan again was awesome and there were some good work done by other actors and some laughs and the ending scenes were a lot of fun and this is great:

TIL I went to community college for two years with Lance Barber of Its Always Sunny (Bill Ponderosa) and Young Sheldon (Sheldon’s dad) fame. He also went to the crosstown high school and graduated HS the same year. Honestly we have so few famous or even semi-famous people from my goofy town I’m surprised I had no idea.

Enjoying season 2 of winning time. Fat Jay Mohr playing an agent. Brody as Pat Riley. Seagal...I understand why they did not let Will Ferrell in on this and it was the right call.
