I was wondering the same thing. I thought you had to have everything with you at the mat. The only time I remember teams dropping backpacks is on the sprint to the last mat. I could easily be wrong on this. I've read somewhere, not sure at this point where as I've been re-watching all the seasons and reading different threads/articles in different places, that the teams can drop their packs as soon as they can see Phil. I think, if so, this was instituted after the infamous J/V event when he dropped his pack on the street and V picked it up because she thought it would be stolen, this is what led to the 'incident'. Also, there isn't always a 'sprint' to the mat, most of the time there is not so why not just wear your packs so you don't have to go back for them. If it is a sprint and you want to drop them you have to do it fast. Some people look like they can just eel out of it no problem, but sometimes it's a bit harder and it might be better to just wear it. People drop their packs all the time, in the 'competitors' season 30, there was a sprint to the mat where the last team would be eliminated in the first leg, I think all but one dropped their packs and guess who was last on the mat. I think I didn't give any spoilers? If I did let me know and I'll tag them. Here is a link of that sprint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIIrkG404kU

I got horribly lost in Northern California last summer because there was no cell service and the written instructions I'd been sent (no paper map) were woefully inadequate/wrong. Not to mention cell phone batteries running down.

Maybe, but 3 in a row reminded me of 41 and 42. It wouldn't surprise me if next week there is some kind of reference to those seasons.

I loved S1 and like someone else here posted, wish subsequent seasons had picked up on the remaining (& still alive!) characters. Need to rewatch it as all I can now recall are some bizarre scenes (e.g., shoot-out in a bldg while FBi agents are sitting in a car outside arguing; l think that was Key & Peele 😄). To this day, I feel uncomfortable whenever I see a wood chipper.

I was there when my mother finally got her own credit card in the 1970s. She was a big proponent of women's rights. Emily is not a feminist but she is the embodiment of the new freedoms that women now enjoy. In the 1950s she wouldn't have felt as free to act like a traditional man about relationships without a thought about her "reputation". If she did she would have suffered way more social ostracism and judgment from men and women. She still does but not as much, especially from the younger generation. Emily is immature and unfortunately at her age catching up is going to be very difficult if not impossible even with therapy. She is stuck at a high school level of maturity when it comes to relationships. It is sad. As others have said, she is acting like a high school girl whose first boyfriend dumped her. She is stuck in that anger/hate phase of the breakup and isn't coming out of it so fast. And even sadder is that it wasn't even a full relationship! She never even had sex with the guy. Unfortunately Brennan fed into all her Daddy issues and she reacted out of proportion to the situation. Now I know why she never let herself get emotionally attached to any man. She has too many Daddy issues and it brings all of that out for her. She might get past her anger and hate in time but for now she just looks immature and vindictive. Here's more of my assessment of Emily: When she keeps going on about how attractive she is to men, etc., it's because she sees Brennan like her father that never noticed or appreciated her and it presses her buttons of how rejected she felt by her father, so she has to come back with how attractive she is. She is reacting like a victim, she is not being a narcissist, in my opinion. There's a difference.

That is classic Charles Ingalls, and really, classic TV. A few choice words solves serious problems for ever. Worked on Sprague and weird horse guy.

I hope not. I really wanted Victoria to put her niece in her place. Although I hope Summer helps Victoria to see her behavior was like Summers right now and she changes her attitude towards Adam.

Whatever happened to your attempt to get an appointment with a neurologist? I meant to follow up on that a couple of weeks ago. Did you abandon that weird doctor matching site?

Did your homemade fix for the brake button work?

I just looked up the ingredients in Lume, the special ingredient used to help control odor is an AHA, mandelic acid. It works by eating away the dead skin cells in the area because "odor" is caused by the bacteria naturally living on your skin eating said skin cells. If you get rid of the dead skin cells, then there's nothing for the bacteria to eat and no odor is caused. I am curious as to the concentration of mandelic acid in the formula for it to be safe to use on your more sensitive areas of the body and also work on your feet and underarms. I suspect it's not going to be that effective on your feet and that's why it's so heavily fragranced.

MaryLand is a 3 Episode Limited Series that will air on PBS on May 5, 2024 at 9pm. It aired in the UK on May 2023 on ITV. MaryLand is a story about two sisters, Becca and Rosaline, who find themselves thrown together by the sudden death of their mother, Mary. They find out that Mary was living an entirely secret life on the Isle of Man, a 33-mile-long island that sits in the middle of the Irish Sea, far from the home she made with her husband, Becca, and Rosaline. As the sisters travel through their grief and discover their mother's secrets, they meet their mother's quirky friend, Cathy, who seems to know more about their mother than they do. Becca and Rosaline find themselves asking fundamental questions about their identities and their relationship with the men in their lives. Mary's death offers them a chance to not only reframe their relationship, but to find out what binds them together and what drives them apart, a chance to fundamentally reshape who they are. At its heart, MaryLand is a love story between two sisters.

I've mentioned it before, I think, but it's something Hollywood seems to always get wrong about every job, at least as far as the main protagonist is concerned. Focal characters are always diligent, punctual go-getters who put in the extra work to make sure they've done their jobs right, even if it means having to re-open a task at the end of the day instead of simply declaring the task "done" and going home. I have no statistics, obviously, but having worked in workplaces with lots of other people, I can safely say that there are very few people who are so dedicated to their jobs that they'll put in the extra mile to get things right. Now, I grant that the amount of people who "hot dog" at their jobs likely depends on the field, and most of my experiences are at low-paying jobs where employee motivation is already a struggle, but, knowing we're all humans, even at so-called "better" jobs, not everyone is going to be on top of their jobs all the time. Even the best will get lazy and give in to the temptation to cut corners, even if it would be disastrous for them to do so. Perhaps there's a good reason why Hollywood makes their characters so dedicated to their jobs. Firstly, a character who is lazy is typically not very likeable, and, secondly, it's not a very satisfying story if plots were always resolved because a character was simply lazy. This goes both ways- for the protagonist and the antagonist. You want your protagonist to succeed because they overcame everything the antagonist threw at them, not because the antagonist got bored halfway through the story. Conversely, a loss for the protagonists would not be impactful if they were not shown trying so hard to do everything they can to succeed at the challenge only to fall short. If the protagonist simply went through the motions and failed because of it, the audience would very much wonder if the protagonist would have succeeded had they actually tried, and they might wonder how serious the challenge really was if the protagonist didn't offer any effort in trying to overcome it. So while it's not accurate for Hollywood characters to be dedicated go-getters, it's a more satisfying story to write them that way.

I can’t fault the actress and the other actors for the Chat GPT writing. I have seen them with better writing and they are great. They are doing all the things I’ve learned writers aren’t supposed to do. The writers actually surprisingly figured out many fans of the show, (at least I think) like Claire and they want to milk it for all it’s worth for May Sweeps with her return.

At least, it appears her intentions are good and she wants the visit to benefit her grandparents. C&E seemingly only went to get footage for the web and to pretend to be virtuous while annoying the elderly.

You can watch the video interview in the article linked below... Steve Yockey & Beth Schwartz Talk ‘Dead Boy Detectives’ & Olicity RAQUEL APRIL 24, 2024 https://fangirlish.com/2024/04/24/steve-yockey-beth-schwartz-talk-dead-boy-detectives-olicity/ -- When asked if we'll see a couple as special as Olicity in Dead Boy Detectives, Beth Schwartz (laughing): "Oh, boy! I haven't heard that in so long! ... I mean, Olicity is its own thing, so I can't compare that. But I think there are gonna be a lot of things for fans, um, to kind of root for and to ship. Um, I think that all of our characters - I mean, I think what's most important is all of our friendship core and, like, their friendship towards each other and how it evolves, which I do think is similar to how our Team Arrow, in terms of having this group together that's working to solve, you know, cases. Um, but yeah, I can't really compare Olicity to [unintelligible words]. I'm very happy you brought that up, because I haven't thought about that in a while."

She didn't and it wasn't. Michael put something into the locket so that when Moll and L'ak scanned it, they'd see that it came from their universe and not the mirror one and would think that it was the actual clue. The real clue was the one that the pair had found in sickbay. So I guess this episode with their backstory is meant to make us feel sorry for the poor little star crossed lovers who are just trying to get the big bad Breen off their back. Feck that, I don't want half an episode in the final season devoted to the big bad of the season. I'd much rather an episode showing Owosekun and Detmer bringing the ISS Enterprise back to base. (and if that is just an excuse to have them not appear in the next few episodes, I'm going to really annoyed)

I was thinking the same thing, Blanche-Ashley, was auditioning for the local community theater for such role. GMTA and LOL! I was thinking of another Tennessee Williams character, Stella.

He really is. But then, in some of his THs, he seems OK-ish and kind of quirky?

But you can't un ring a bell right? Even if the judge told the jury to disregard that testimony they still heard it.

OOOOH, you are not helping me to not lose my mind! Haha, I came in here all hopeful that someone had solved this for me!

I like Grace, I really do. But I'm afraid he's going to discount her because she is so close with her family. He said several times it's 4 hours to the airport. I assume Albuquerque. Denver would be over the mountains but ABQ is a fairly straight shot south. Anyway, 4 hours to the airport and back is a full day away from work for him and I don't think he wants to, or can, do that a whole lot. I grew up 8 hours away from extended family, so I can be done, obviously, but I don't think he wants to do that. Which is a shame because she seems the most normal. But being so close to her family seems to be a sticking point he keeps mentioning. It was interesting to see Melody on ice skates. It would also be interesting to see her in a work environment, but as a traveling nurse, that's probably not possible. But it was nice to see a different side of her. Suddenly, with her family, Sydney seems a lot younger. I like her but I think she needs some "adventures" still, which she stated to his parents. We only got half the home visits this week. So the other half next week. Then another week for decisions? And a another week for a reunion show? Maybe something actually worked out if they have a reunion show to do, which they didn't do last year. But mostly my point is, this is never going to end.

Ace is the best part of the show.

"... with her actual husband who she was still technically married to at the time which she NEVER TOLD ME." (iirc) yeah, darlene not big on taking responsibility for things!

That was the plot of the aforementioned Law and Order episode, and look what happened there!
