It was just a fun show regardless of politics. Once you got to know the characters at the table, it was almost like you were joining in with old friends every week. People could disagree with each other quite strenuously without calling each other names or generalizing about the character of "the other side", which is a real cancer on our politics these days. They seemed like they genuinely cared for each other off camera, whether that's true I don't know. Like maybe even Elenor and Pat would have a drink before catching their planes?
 In any case after 35 years on the air it is another one of those things you take for granted that suddenly are gone. Bye Bye John |

^ I'd thought his time was near, last I saw he looked really very wan. I respected his work in the same way I did Bill Buckley's; a brilliant if disagreeable guy.

^ the next film, Rogue One, will be an 'Anthology' movie that takes place just before Episode 4 (A New Hope), so he can't die in that one because he shows up later. It may be they knock him off in the sequel to Force Awakens due out next year.

^Me too. It's probably my fave, along with Deep Space 9, of that era's Sci Fi. He was great on that show.

Wow, Michael Cimino.....I remember when he was the young hot shot who'd just won the Oscar for Deer Hunter. Didn't make a successful movie after that.....in fact, his final movie - the horrible, horrible Sunchaser - went straight to video. Still, if only for Deer Hunter.....thanks, Mr. Cimino and RIP.
