By the end of season six, Don is standing with his children in front of a house that looks nothing like that perfect suburbia. “This is where I grew up,” he says. Shortly afterward, we hear Judy Collins’ version of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now,” a song about coming to terms with reality.

But the document drafted after an intense National Security Council meeting last week had elements to placate all sides of the Administration’s fractious arms-negotiating team.

John Hawkes’ mobile device is the farthest thing from smart. “It could take pictures if I wanted it to,” he gently protests in its defense when he is teased about his non-movie star communication device. “I don’t need my phone to do the dishes or anything.” Forget surfing the Internet to see how the odds are looking for him to land a best actor Oscar nomination for his new movie, The Sessions.

Marvel’s “Deadpool 3” has resumed filming now that the SAG-AFTRA strike has ended, but several photos have leaked from set.
