Jeff Bridges was fighting cancer and Covid while he was filming The Old Man. I've been watching it and I agree, it is some of his best work.

"The Bear" is another FX series I have been checking out. Enjoyed what i have seen. Really good cast, doing really good stuff. 😊 |

Man, Zoe is really being awful. I know she's pretty much a frail for the MOST part, and has had her whole world turned upside down...but damn...she needs to keep her mouth SHUT and THINK about EVRYTHING more and longer, and be more grateful. She can make out really well, for her son as well as herself....the daughter is good. But poor Chase is going to have a really rough time having to juggle those two along with everything else. 💔

I think Zoe, aka Marcia Dixon - is looking to take control of her own life which has been a sh*tshow... even her son has no respect for her..... Just pay my tuition, MA, I'm not taking your calls. And so, she is getting in over her head. She wants power and money now, since her divorce happened. If Chase was a bad man- he would have ended her. She brought her kidnapping on herself. She didn't have to get involved with him! Good Dramatic series! Can't wait to see what happens to John Lithgow's character! Chase's daughter, Emily, is in TROUBLE!!! |

I woke up about 2 this morning and the tv was still on. I caught epicsode 4, before going back to sleep...

I agree with you. But I think she's being unreasonable AND stupid. The look on Bridges' face, during her spiel, said it all lol. Like, "This crazy bitch is un believable!" 😂....she obviously still does not know exactly who and what she is dealing with. He created that Marcia Dixon identity long ago! BEFORE his poor wife died. And he can quickly, easily END that identity too. I think she's lucky that he likes her, and that he will try to be patient with her, knowing she has had a pretty rotten life before all of THIS.
She did do good to open the doors and free those dogs.
Yeah, Lithgow will figure out who the mole is. But I can see them coming to some kind of understanding, or agreement, and continue to work together. Maybe. 🙂
Lithgow and Emily are BOTH playing with fire, getting on "that guy's" plane.
I think it's all gonna depend on exactly what he wants, and just how useful Lithgow and Emily really are to him.
I wonder if F.H. will see her mother in her, and figure out who E.C. actually is!

.....I think I'll do a rewatch of the 4 episodes today, while I'm working.  I won't be surprised if we see Chase (maybe) getting pissed and putting Zoe in her place, in upcoming ep. 5 Like you said he IS good man, I think he may scare her some to get through to her, (going by the wave of emotions on his face, as he listened) but not threaten to kill her. We'll see...he's quite a complex character. And I'm wondering how quickly Lithegow will come to realize who E.C. is as well. Never sure about what all he might already know (or suspects) and is keeping secret. He also, is a very complex character. (Chase was very concerned about the C.I.A. finding Em from the very beginning.) Looking forward to seeing what will happen with Chase 'using the old enemy'. And the guy who has been running the Dixon Co. is another P**ck that needs to be put in his place...I get the feeling that guy is going to be a treacherous, ambitious trouble. Keep watching and enjoy it, drawntokatet ! |

Started to get a bit of eyestrain, so I put the work away for the rest of the day.
Turned this on, and gave it full undivided attention   .....
FX's "The Old Man" EPICsode 5!
This whole episode is tremendous oh snap! That opening scene alone!..... man, I hope that damn plane wasn't bugged!H.H. and Em got right to business! (and later : the phone conversation with the lawyer...ominous. 💔) Liking Zoe A LITTLE more...but.... I hope that basturd Zach actually does what Chase needs done, and did not lie to her just to placate... while taking the ego stroking. 😒🤨 Owwwrrrrr! Doggo's can't go with Daddy! Poor babies, and poor Daddy. 💔😭....at least they'll be safe and well taken care of. Joel Grey's character! whoa. 😳 Knew he was a very significant upper echelon key player....but daaaaamn. All these intertwining relationships run so deep and warm with so much necessary cold. Intricate. They are heart wrenching. 💔❤🙂😥 I think a lot more of Alia Shawkat now, she's doing some great work with these guys. I hope you get to come tell us what you think about it all soon, drawntokatet !  Really looking forward to ep.6 so much!

Oh damnit...things didn't go well at S.P.'s place or the airport! 💔 H.H. and E.C. really do love each other so much. And how torn between "her two fathers", she has been. 💔 At least it is Bote who has Em, and not F.H. ! Can't trust Bote, though he manages to make you want to. No telling exactly what might be planning on. He's so 'simple' but complicated in his ways and reasoning, and how he masters the game. (Well, I think so. So far. 🙂) And thank goodness it was H.H. and his men that got to Chase and Zoe, not F.H.'s people! They're going to work together and go get Em! This is gonna be good. |

Episode 7... ....I'm finally getting to watch Ep.7 right now...at 1/3 way in, i think. The event on the plane years ago, that H.H. doesn't know about...I wonder....could Abby have been pregnant when she and Chase escaped. Could Em be F.H.'s biological child? Or F.H. may think that she is?  |

Another great part, with more revelations and action ....
I was trying to think on that timeline. We first saw young Chase and H.H. in 1979.That would make Em about the right age now. Well, she wasn't born during the flight, looks like she was a very young child! Really like watching Chase and H.H. together! Wrecking Ranger Rovers!  Chase: "Not bad." H.H. : "F*** you." 🤣 Oh. So sad to see the driver shot. I liked him and his friend, the assassin. But not going to miss yammering, irritating PITA "Waters". 😒 (Where is the assassin? HE will be a great help!) Didn't see where Zoe was left....I wonder...since Em appears to be out of danger now, will F.H. have Zoe taken for added leverage in getting Chase to him? This story is so damn good. |

Very good writing. And to watch them go together to get their daughter, MAN! That was terrific. Cliffhanger until next season. But shocker that Faraz is the real father, even though he never knew Em; he wants her back. That gives me the chills. |

H.H. and Chase together!...just :  applouse bokoebaFTerAfwUuywKb Yes! Great writing! And man, Lithgow & Bridges DELIVER with the delivery! 😄🤩 Em looked to be about 3 (to me) in that brief glimpse in that flashback. Right now it appears that she and her '2 fathers' need not fear for her life...but I think they all may be faced with her being held against her will...at the very least. (sorry that I talk too much  ) |

Recently I rewatched season 1, and I noticed in episode 7 that Chase and Harper were referring to Bote (Joel Grey) as “the old man”. It’s got me wondering about the title now.
Chase/Johnny/Dixon is our main character here for sure. But I get the feeling there is much more coming about Bote than we already know.
He is a very interesting and mysterious character, with his power and ‘collection of sons’.
“I’m going to hurt my sons.” - that was a moving scene, well done by Grey. Intriguing how he loves them both so much, but will help one to kill the other without hesitation and suffer the loss. He not only ‘plays the game’ better than any of them, I think he invented it. Lol, he’s old enough to have. |

that's all I'm going to say about it.
