  • The token black newsstand guy, just shouting, is rough, and 2017 barely has newsstands.
  • Cruise melting down during the Jessup examination, with about ten extra seconds of zoning out while the water glass shakes, is too long; not even Christopher Darden did that in the OJ trial, he is already in contempt, and an edit could save it.
  • The gay slurs reflect 1991 and are rough in the unedited version, less so on TNT.
  • JT Walsh's farewell speech as Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Markinson, the letter saying the son is dead because 'I wasn't strong enough to stop it', is a tough farewell that is done in ten seconds before he shoots himself.
  • Joe Galloway is nominated but tabled as a major conversation; a sixth nominee is Cruise rehydrating with Yoohoo after softball practice, with a joke about Paul George chugging one in the playoffs and his diet of Yoohoo, Cocoa Puffs and Jack Daniels.
  • Cruise's D.C. apartment shows a TBS Padres-Braves game and then an Orioles game, each with amazing plays such as an inside-the-park home run; one panelist personally thinks Joe Galloway has aged the worst.
