I really enjoyed Naomi going for a "ride" in the Hollywood parking lot.

I wish this show could somehow get a mulligan. They wasted so much time on some pointless storylines and lame characters. This is hbo-did we really have to wait an entire season to see a sex scene and someone getting killed?

I think what we saw in the last two episodes is what I expected to see throughout. In the end, it was too little too late.

Enjoyed tonights episode ... but two totally unrealistic racing scenes.

In Mon Gateau's win ... every other horse in the race was being stiffed in the stretch.

In the Western Derby ... Gary Stevens saved ground on both turns.

I just wish when they had the close-up of Hoffman that they would start the music and then move the camera towards him and go inside his head to reveal an armless hamster on a wheel. Then the camera zooms towards the hamster and goes inside his head and you see a snake in a bulldozer making holes.

OMG that's sooooo weird. I have that very same thought at 5:33 am almost every day.

Don't be such a smartie pants. It's known that you write letters for other people's jobs first thing in the morning. Don't belittle creative people.

Like I was saying....

Wasn't crazy about the scene theft from Indecent Proposal. That movie is 20 years old already!

They definitely saved the best for last. The racing scenes and accompanying music were definitely well done in that final episode. I am hoping that we have not seen the last of some of these characters and story lines.
