AD35

After watching the movie I got the impression that Napoleon wouldn't even get out of the bed to fart, let alone conquer half of Europe, if he wasn't motivated by his love of Josephine.

Now this is a Lex Luthor I wouldn't mind seeing more than once and one who has a real personal chip on his shoulders against the Kents. Did anyone else besides me get some serious flashbacks to a similar scene in the Man of Steel movie? Now that Jordan is sort of revealed to the world and Lex is out of prison, I'm wondering if these two developments might suggest the Kents might move back to Metropolis for the next season.

I'm still holding out hope that we'll hear from one of them before the show ends.

I'd be willing to give Farmer Jack's Chicken Chicken Chicken a try (I think that's the name).

I'm still thinking that it would be a spinoff a la Frasier 2.0. Raj moves to a new city with a new job and characters to interact along with an update here and there via a guest appearance from Howard along with news about Leonard/Penny and Sheldon/Amy. The big question is would Kunal want to return to the role.

Is it wrong that I laughed out loud when I read that? As someone who's speeding towards 60 at warp 10 I like to think if I was the defendant's age I wouldn't be so desperate for fame and money that I would do any of the things mentioned on the show (and in real life). As I was watching the ep I kept thinking, who's the bigger attention-starved idiot. The person who come up with these stunts in the first place or the person who actually tries them.

What are the chances that they came from the same bakery that made Dan's birthday cake (courtesy of Bull and Harry) from the original show?

I thought that Neil's sweaters were a shout-out of sorts to Mac, who along with Newhart's Mary Frann apparently had a sweater collection in the 80's that rivaled Bill Cosby's. I think the 2nd ep did show some potential with the Golden Girls mural and the birds. Abby and Dan were the best things about the two eps, although Abby's sunny optimism got a bit on my nerves at times. So I'm willing to stick with the show for now. Maybe we'll find out what happened with Mac and Christine through their respective children who would be adults now.

"You couldn't sell scarves to Lenny Kravitz with that pitch". Ava was on fire during this ep with the one liners. I also liked that there was a serious side of her as well. I know dealing with her in real life would be a pain, so I'm glad she's just a tv character.

Here's hoping the show gets renewed. If I had my way, I'd love to see Claire Dunphy give Connor advice on some of the potential pitfalls of running for office.

That was the highlight of the ep for me, and the storyline in general.

That made me think if only future Howard and Leonard could travel back in time to see that moment. I'm beginning to wonder if Dale decides to end things between them in the not-too-distant future because Connie is a bit too much on the wild side for him.

I've wondered what her reaction would have been having Lilith and Maris as her daughters-in-law. I recall Roz mentioning that fact to Martin and his reaction left no doubt that it wasn't pleasant.

If there's another flashback ep set in this time period, Connor's hair should get its own "guest star" credit.

I was expecting that, but I guessed Mary wasn't quite ready to go there yet, even in her imagination. Maybe writing romance novels could be a way of Mary to bring in some money for the family. Even if they don't show up on Oprah's Book Club, I'm sure there would be an audience for them.
