No mention of Sterling K. Brown? Where's Randal???

Was that Daveed Diggs curly hair I saw? YIIPPPEEEEE!!!!

Not sure I can handle Bill Irwin - He's Mr. Noodle from Elmo's World on Sesame Street. The man who makes me want to poke my own eyes out.

So it looks like they are setting up that very handsome neighbor priest (pastor?) for a romance storyline. Can some one tell me about the rules around celibacy for them? I assume since they're not catholic they can get married? Or is another "forbidden romance" like with Shelagh?

I really enjoyed the Jewish Mamme and daughter. The yiddish I thought made sense because the mamme hadn't left the house in so long (and it brought back some wonderful memories of my grandparent's and their friends' accents.) The phrases they used went beyond what has become commonplace in our vernacular. I thought it might be a little too Good Will Hunting that a woman so scarred by horrible experiences could be "cured" so quickly, but (grand)parenthood can do that. It was so interesting to see the nuns interact with a Jewish family - I would love to know more about that dynamic in '50s England. I know what the US experience is from my own family, but there were probably many refugees and survivors in the UK who have fascinating stories. And that Sister Winifred knew about Shavuos is amazing. Most Jews today wouldn't know about Shavuos. I love this show.

I thought for a moment that Shelagh and the doctor would adopt Doris' baby. It wouldn't work, of course, because they are in the same neighborhood, but they look so sad when giving her up. I hope in the end they get to have a baby, in whatever way it happens. Infertility is not fun, but it can bring a couple closer together. Was the breathing technique Lamaze? or is that something later?
