Gotta say, I loved this episode. While I did know who Neil deGrasse Tyson was, I did not know who Melissa Peterman or Jackie Tohn were. Well, now I do, and I think they are great. All three really let their personalities shine through.

Without saying who won, or who knew what, I will leave this teaser. Some of the categories seemed custom tailored for certain celebrities, but who knew that it was someone else who knew the question (answer?). This episode had more twists and surprises than the other semi-final episodes I have seen, which made this a very entertaining episode.

All I can add is, Who knew who knew what? Or, Who knew, who didn't know what. You'll have to watch to find out.

Without saying who won, I gotta say I loved this episode. It started out a little dry, what with the contestants being so serious at first. Then they loosened up and got into their groove. The retrospective with Seth Green and Alex Trebek was priceless- wonderfully done.

Love Rachel Brosnahan as Mrs. Maisel; didn't know Seth Green well, but got to know him here; and have been watching Margaret Cho for years and was glad to see she still has it.

Speaking of Margaret, her luck in picking most of the Daily Doubles made the game interesting; her decision of making them True Daily Doubles was astounding. Won't tell you if she got the answers right; you'll have to watch for yourself, but either way, this episode was a 10.

This review is not as much about the actual movie as it is about the versions I watched. The plot has been reviewed enough that I feel I do not need to go into that. In fact, I pretty much agree with both the praises and the criticisms of other reviewers.

I watched this movie twice: yesterday and today. Last night I watched it on a DVD of very poor quality; it was very choppy. Everything was so dark, and the sound was terrible too. I had a hard time seeing and hearing what was happening. This was especially true of the scene where Chuck Scott returns to Madame Chin's shop. That whole segment didn't make any sense to me, pretty much because I couldn't tell what was happening. The movie was just okay, but I probably wouldn't watch it again.

Today, I watched the digitally remastered version that was streaming. Wow, what a difference. The picture was so clear - the sound was so crisp. I could actually tell what was going on. The scene at Madame Chin's actually made sense now that I could tell what was happening.

Now, even with the remastered copy, the plot holes were the same, but at least I understood them. I agree with the majority of the reviewers who gave it a 7. I would not have given it such a high mark had I only seen the DVD version, and I suggest you don't either.
