I agree with you, at least about Jeff Bridges, who is an overrated hack.

I only watched NYPD Blue after Caruso left. I was YEARS ahead of the rest of you in hating him.

**Polycarp** arranges for **Skald** to be transported to an alternate universe in which the key scene of a movie is Jeff Goldblum deftly extracting the answers to the mystery he is investigating from Danny Bonaduce in a sauna, noting that he did not define the sex of the redhead in question nor delimit ‘hot’ to ‘sexually attractive’.\*
