    voiello. and it’s not his brother, which makes the speech/ending even better.

      Spoiler for Question:
      Does the show ever tell us who Bauer actually is? I know he has been referred to (maybe even by himself) as the "Ambassador to the Holy See." Is he actually an ambassador? Does it ever tell us what country he is from? There is one scene this season where he appears with what I understood to be an American Admiral, which surprised me because I assumed he was an ambassador from Russia or some other non-US country. Maybe it is just supposed to be one of the mysteries of the show.

      Bauer is a great character though. He had some great dialogue with Voiello this season.
      we don’t know, but that’s part of the whole thing—pius xiii’s embrace of mystery is reflected in the show

        The speech he made at Geronimo's (yeah, I know I spelled it wrong) funeral was incredible. The show seamlessly moves between discussing the worst aspects of the Catholic church to showing it in all of its splendor. The recreation of the Sistine Chapel and other locations is extremely well done.

        The unnecessary but spectacular nude scene with Bauer's wife was a highlight from the last episode. Well done.
        Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

            It always sucked. That's a bummer.

              I’m still hopeful that this season just needs an episode or 2 to introduce the story. But I agree, the distinct lack of boobies in the first episode is a bummer

                      True, but on the scale of things that turn me on, boobies win over F-bombs every time. And if there are both boobies AND F-bombs?!?

                        Excited for Fargo Season 4. It was pretty amazing when season 2 surpassed season 1 (imo) and then season 3 might have been a small step down but still really good. Season 4 trailers look pretty good.

                          Yes! Fargo season 4 looks great. And again, they have a lot of great actors lined up.

                            I've been watching Atlanta. It is a great show. The B.A.N. episode is one of the funniest episodes of any show that I've ever seen.

                            Also, What We Do in the Shadows has been great.

                              I started the second season and gave up after 2 episodes. I liked the first season.

                                This is probably the best comedic series of the decade. No kidding.
