I am disappointed in the new season so far. It seems as if everyone — especially the brothers Jesus and Angelo — has been directed to be as annoying as possible.
Also, I miss Nina Garcia and Michael Kors in the judges’ chairs.

I’ve only seen “Summertime” once, but it is one of my favorite Katharine Hepburn films. She captured her character’s loneliness and longing for romance with a delicacy and grace that few actresses could match.

Evil and wasteful. If this is how a leaner, more efficient government works, I’d rather have the old government.

I just started watching Season 4 last night and haven’t caught that vibe yet. Maybe it will emerge more clearly after I watch another couple of episodes.
I appreciate your thoughts on the show. It’s nice to read succinct, thoughtful criticism of the shows I watch.
