Masterchef season 5

The final season of Bloodline picks up exactly where the second season ended : The Rayburn family secrets are on the verge of exposure. When we last saw the Florida Keys family, older brother John (Kyle Chandler) was escaping and driving north; Kevin (Norbert Leo Butz) was freaking out over killing Detective Marco Diaz (Enrique Murciano); and Meg (Linda Cardellini) was about to spill all the beans to their mother Sally (Sissy Spacek). “It felt like the most exciting start to the season to pick up right where season two left off — right in the chaos,” executive producer Todd A. Kessler said. “I think season three is very much about trying to put the audience in the shoes of the characters. Starting right in the chaos where there’s no letting go; there’s no escape for the characters; and there’s no escape for the audience.” Kessler also spoke to Vulture about how the story ends for each of the Rayburn children and their mother, the return of Danny (Emmy winner Ben Mendelsohn ), and why the writers opted for an open-ended closing to the series . How much of a challenge was it for you to cull your plans and figure out what you would include? Were there a lot of stories that you didn’t tell at all? There’s a lot of stuff we didn’t get a chance to tell, but each season was going to focus on a specific character and also aspects of family dynamics. So we ended up condensing and combining, and really pulling up stories that we had for seasons four, five, and six into season three. There were certain things that we just weren’t able to get to because of time constraints. But on the whole, I think that season three really delves very deeply into John’s character, Kevin’s, Sally’s, and Meg’s, too. What you’re seeing in season three is, in a certain way, a shorthand for what you’d see in seasons four, five, and six. It ended up creating a very dense … [Read more...] about ’s Showrunner Breaks Down the Final Season and the Fate of the Rayburn Family

Bloodline Part 23 Season 2 Episode 10 Editor’s Rating 3 stars * * * Previous Next » Owen Teague as Nolan, Ben Mendelsohn as Danny. Photo: Saeed Adyani/Netflix Well, that’s that. The second season of Bloodline is officially a disappointment. Despite strong performances throughout, this year’s story never felt as confident as the first — and it ended not far off from where it began. After ten-plus hours, the season ends at its starting point. The only essential change? It’s juggling four cliffhangers now. The season’s action could have been distilled to an hour. Imagine, if you will, the second year of Bloodline opening with a guilty John (Kyle Chandler) leaving his family behind, a panicked Kevin (Norbert Leo Butz) attacking Marco (Enrique Murciano), and Meg (Linda Cardellini) confessing her family’s sins to her mother (Sissy Spacek). A lot has happened in every episode, but it doesn’t really take us anywhere. These characters and their world weren’t developed enough to justify the time commitment. Perhaps the inevitable third season will correct that problem, moving the Rayburns forward instead of just watching them tread water in the Florida Keys. As “Part 23” opens, John and his wife, Diana (Jacinda Barrett), are on the beach. Realizing that Eric O’Bannon (Jamie McShane) was there the day John killed his brother Danny (Ben Mendelsohn), John knows the proverbial waters are rising against him. He implies as much to Diana, saying in his all-too-cryptic way, “Things are not good.” She tells him not to come home tonight. After a quick trip to the beach and a conversation with Eric, Marco stops by the citrus farm with the cameras. He’ll get a warrant soon. Cut to John and Meg looking at a still of Eric from those cameras. They don’t know what Eric knows. Did he see the crime? The cover-up? They know that the Internal Affairs investigation will keep Marco and Aguirre (David Zayas) tied up, but for how long? Meg … [Read more...] about Season Finale Recap: Now Leaving the Keys

Bloodline Part 24 Season 3 Episode 1 Editor’s Rating 3 stars * * * « Previous Next » Photo: Netflix The Rayburns are back for a final season of murder, betrayal, and the family ties that bind and kill. Season two of Bloodline felt somewhat transitional, like its creators were uncertain where to take the show after its hit debut year, but this last ten-episode arc is a promising opportunity. Perhaps it will give Bloodline the focus it lacked last year, and we can send out the Rayburns in style. Most interesting, this show has some seriously murky moral water to tread. At the end of last season , Kevin Rayburn (Norbert Leo Butz) killed Marco Diaz (Enrique Murciano). Should we now root for him to get away with it? It will be interesting to see how the show navigates the truth that Kevin is a murderer and shouldn’t be a free man. The writers of Bloodline are smart to not get into that gray morality right away, sticking with a tight time frame and taut pacing for the season’s first hour, which picks up immediately after the finale of season two. Kevin has murdered Marco; John Rayburn (Kyle Chandler) is leaving town; Meg (Linda Cardellini) has unveiled the family secrets to her mother Sally (Sissy Spacek). Danny (Emmy winner Ben Mendelsohn) is absent for now, but it’s interesting to hear his voice say, “Hey, where are we going?” in John’s mind. He might as well be talking about the show, too. It turns out John is going nowhere fast, running into a gator in the road and destroying his vehicle. After putting the animal out of its misery and declining a ride home from a fellow officer, he heads out again on his destinationless journey. Meanwhile, his siblings are in full panic mode. Kevin, the true moron that he is, comes back to try and wake up the man he just brained with a ceramic dolphin, hiding when Meg pulls up, and hitting his head in the process. It will be a TV miracle if Kevin survives this season. … [Read more...] about Season-Premiere Recap: The Road to Nowhere

January 13, 2017 - 12:17 GMT Julie Delahaye Dietician Helen Bond reveals her top 7 tips for how to avoid SAD this January. The festive season is over, the temperatures have dropped and summer seems so far away, so it comes as no surprise that many people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), especially in January. If you find yourself feeling low during the winter months, a few easy swaps in your diet could significantly boost your mood, as well as working wonders for your overall health. Dietician and Seven Seas ambassador Helen Bond has shared her top 7 tips for avoiding SAD this January and revealed the vitamins and minerals you should be including in your diet to feel and look your best… Helen suggests incorporating more omega-3 fats into your diet Boost your immunity "Some people with SAD also find that they are more prone to coughs and colds, so it's vital to eat a healthy, balanced and varied diet to keep the immune system in tiptop condition. Key nutrients for keeping the immune system in tip top condition in January include vitamin A, B vitamins 6, B9 (Folate), B12 vitamin C, and minerals zinc, copper, selenium and iron." Watch the alcohol "There can be some social pleasures associated with moderate and responsible consumption of alcohol, but relying on it to improve your mood is counterproductive, as it's a depressant, is highly calorific (one gram contains 7 kcals) and is dehydrating. Hangover blues and weight gain are also well known to dampen your mood and make you feel, sluggish and bloated. Men and women are now advised not to regularly drink more than 14 units a week!" Breakfast like a king "A healthy breakfast replenishes energy levels after a long period without food and provides fuel and essential nutrients to help the body and brain function more effectively throughout the day. Research shows that breakfast not only helps to improve mood so you could … [Read more...] about 7 easy diet changes that could help you avoid SAD this January

Jodie Foster and her wife Alexandra Hedison Zooming in to the 78th Annual Golden Globes in luxury pajamas is the sort of stylish and funny lesbian power move you simply love to see. Foster then winning Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for a movie that allegedly exists called The Mauritanian and thanking Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in her acceptance speech was just the perfect finishing touch on this awards show high point . Foster issued her thank-yous in the following order: “I love my wife, thank you, Alex, and Ziggy, and Aaron Rodgers! And, you know, the Hollywood Foreign Press, right? This is awesome!” [Ziggy is their perfect little lamb of a dog, by the way.] Foster thanked Rodgers to fulfill a promise, it turns out. In February, Rodgers was named the 2020 NFL MVP (for the third time), and in his acceptance speech, he thanked Jodie Foster . Later that month on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel asked Foster if she knew Rodgers, and she said, “No,” but clarified, “he just knows I’m his biggest fan.” Foster has been a dedicated cheesehead for years . Kimmel then asked, “If you win the Golden Globe, will you name him in your speech?” Foster answered, “Absolutely.” Foster might be more than just Rodgers’s biggest fan, though. His fiancée Shailene Woodley was Foster’s co-star in The Mauritanian. When Kimmel asked if this connection was “a total coincidence,” Foster said, “I don’t know if that’s a coincidence, but yes, and she’s fantastic. We spent a lot of time on The Mauritanian together in a little tent with little air-conditioning spitting at us, talking about our lives and recipes and people we hate. Things like that.” Not a coincidence, you say? This begs the question: Did Jodie Foster set Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers up ? Update, 12:20 p.m.: To answer that question, no — no, Foster did not set up Woodley and Rodgers. In last night’s virtual press room after the Golden Globes, Foster addressed … [Read more...] about Jodie Foster Thanked Her Wife, Her Dog, and Aaron Rodgers in Her Golden Globes Acceptance Speech

Few characters in all of fiction have been through as much as Dr. Meredith Grey , played by Ellen Pompeo. Over 17 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy , Meredith has seen shootings, bomb scares, plane crashes, ferryboat crashes, death, destruction, and despair, all while trying to maintain a career as an attending surgeon and occasional dog mom. How much more grief can one character take? CBS Sunday Morning tried to get Pompeo to answer that very question on today’s episode, asking whether or not the long-running ABC medical drama created by Shonda Rhimes will continue after the current season, which is on winter hiatus. Pompeo answers, “Can’t say. We honestly have not decided. We’re really trying to figure it out right now.” The producer is incredulous, asking, “You’re in the middle of deciding whether it ends or doesn’t end?” and Pompeo answers a question with another question: “What story do we tell to end a show this iconic? How do we do it? I just want to make sure we do this character and this show and the fans, I want to make sure we do it right.” Spoiler alert for this season of Grey’s Anatomy: Pompeo also says she doesn’t know whether or not her character, who contracted COVID-19 this season , is currently alive or dead.
