CHRINO is an acronym for "Christian in Name Only". It was so obvious when the son of the Preacher & his wife wanted a a brother and there was his best friend Hakim being anonymously thrown into "the system" that either everything I ever heard about Christianity and taking in stray people was either exaggerated or just plain fictional. I know a bit about this from real life, and the family that took me in was Jewish.

I haven't the stomach the watch the entire movie. Because I'm sure they'll be some ridiculous plot contortions (why wouldn't there be when the underlying belief system is fake religion?), and I truly don't care. Whitney was on drugs, Denzel and Courtney B. Vance carried the movie.

It was fun to watch before the WPTRTW (White people that run the world) slowly began to show their true selves as glory hounds and were not trying to save the country for the right reasons. The devolution of The Lincoln Project into a profit-making enterprise shouldn't have surprised me but it did.

The best part for me was when one person read aloud a text from a healthcare worker thanking them for trying to get some honest, well-intentioned leaders into office to help solve the COVID crisis. That made the guy cry and I might have joined in.

I guess I was naive to believe that Republicans could do something for GOOD without having the ulterior motive of making money from it.

Just awful. Even from a standpoint of "little people deserve love too", the whole thing just reeked. Logic would demand that a regular-sized man who was terrified of having a dwarf child would therefore undergo a vasectomy, right? No chance of EVER getting anyone pregnant. In addition, the baby was obviously suffering which made it all that more painful to watch.

I don't know who green-lit this steaming pile, but I hope they lost a lot of money and their writing and/or directing union cards. No matter how many good actors there are in a film it doesn't matter if the story is completely bogus.

I love how these 2 friends keep popping up in each others' series. Alan Tudyk is a recurring character on "The Rookie", and Nathan turns up in Season 2 of "Resident Alien" as . . . Wait for it . . . The voice of an octopus! Just brilliant.

Watching it the second time, now I get why I didn't remember it. What's the point of a Revenge movie/play with no actual revenge? The war criminal gets to continue his happy family life.

The acting was excellent, but the ending was SUCH a disappointment.

How obvious was it that the ending with Catherine was pre-taped (possibly years ago) and slapped on after Alex O'Loughlin decided not to continue carrying the show? I stopped caring about Danny after Scott Caan went absentee for half of the episodes over the last few years, Steve apparently never learned the term "forever home" by leaving his dog behind, and Jorge Garcia/Jerry didn't even get a cameo return. And like another viewer pointed out, it does seem that Scott Caan's scenes were taped separately. Did he actually get too lazy to fly to Hawaii to tape the last 2 shows? Maybe they should have cut him loose and given his salary to Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park as pay equity.

Also kinda glaring was the fact that the other Hess brother, played by Norman Reedus, was never mentioned. I'm sure they couldn't afford him now that he's the $10 million lead actor on "The Walking Dead". And could they have at least paid for Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park to show them in a flashback?

LAME.

While this was a very well-acted episode, I have to take issue with the premise that the United States' entry into World War II could have been in any way affected by pacifism. Were the writers in the 1960's not aware that the political leaders of the US in the 1930's knew full well of the atrocities being committed in Germany (the Holocaust), but were too anti-Semitic to care? The US didn't enter World War II until Pearl Harbor in 1941, when it was directly attacked by Japan.

Yes, it's science fiction, and yes, I think too much.
