  1. Lawrence makes it hard to like him. First he was putting words in Condola's mouth about not wanting a family (rather than her saying that she simply doesn't want to get married again) but I'm not here for him sending DMs to Issa back like he's flirting. She needs to move on. Nathan or Daniel need to make an appearance. Issa should have just gone over to Molly's so they can hash this out. I get that she was taking advice from Ahmad, but this was the wrong situation to apply it. Molly may have been the instigator in the beginning, but now they're both being passive aggressive. They need to grow up and start the conversation, it's not enough to acknowledge the problem. Molly needs to have a talk with her father, too. Whether or not she forgives him, the silent treatment isn't healthy for her. Issa and her brother's Thanksgiving was the best part. Jean Elie (Ahmad) said he would have more to do this season so I'm guessing this is what he meant. He and Issa work as brother and sister very well. They even have the same goofy sense of humor. That sweater/duster looked hot. Didn't help that it draped all the way down to her ankles. Yeah, I saw that too. I think Issa and Lawrence are getting back together, whether it's just a fling or a real relationship. It doesn't help that they keep seeing each other, and they both know Condola.
  2. Same. I hate that she's acting this way around Taurean, but I get why she's doing it. I hope they don't go the romantic route. Last week, Molly told Issa that she was dumping Andrew since he was seeing other people. Not surprising, Molly always calls it quits when she notices the first flaw. But this week, she immediately apologized when Andrew called when she was out hiking. Although she wasn't wrong in what she wanted from Andrew (just the way she expressed it) it shows that Molly is learning from her mistakes. She's got her own issues and now she's willing to hear people out, something she didn't do before.
  3. I don't think so. The last we saw/heard of Dro and Candice was at Tiffany's baby shower. Issa did say that she knew the previous season was unfinished, so I'm expecting to see Dro again. It would be interesting if Candice knew about Dro and Molly, especially since Candice is supposed to be pregnant.
  4. Molly may be her own worst enemy, but I feel bad for her. She's really taking hits from all sides. Taurean was a jerk before the Metra case incident, so his behavior isn't that suprising. At least Molly apologized and owned up to her poor judgement. It's depressing to see her suck up to Taurean this way, and it's already backfired on her. Same with Andrew. I get that Molly wants more connection right now. And she's clearly jealous of Issa and Condola's friendship, which makes her more vulnerable. Issa and Condola were right to acknowledge the weird situation they're in, so I don't care if Lawrence doesn't like it. It seems as if they don't want to discuss Lawrence at all, but listening to his stupid friends planted the idea in his head. Still, he's a grown man and trust goes both ways. Martin Lawrence Walker needs to sit down. I wish we got more from Tiffany and Kelli than just brief comedic breaks. Well, Kelli anyway. This episode felt very short.
  5. I guess it depends on how friendly Tiffany is with Condola and how much contact they have. Tiffany did say she didn't know it went beyond one date. Tiffany handled the confrontation poorly. Even if she didn't know about Condola and Lawrence, she just breezed out of the room like it was no big deal. Lawrence and Issa were together for five years, and Tiffany knows that. She should have called Issa later and apologized instead of doing that at the mixer, when Issa was already stressed and distracted. Tiffany's gone from bougie to annoying.
  6. The cracks are really starting to show in Issa and Molly's friendship. The opening scene was depressing to watch. The mixer showed how Issa has matured. Once she realized the party was failing, she got out of her own head and made the real speech that won everyone over. It was good to see her succeed on her own. She's going on the right path, even with the snags. Can't say the same for Molly. Her discussion with Issa at the end just made Molly look like an ass. I know there has to be conflict, but I don't want another whole season of Molly screwing up her whole life. And deep down, I don't know if she can handle that Issa is finally doing well, while Molly isn't. I like Condola, and it's nice to see that she's as flustered by this whole thing, too.
  7. Not saying it should be endgame at this point, just IME, most couples who are paired from the beginning tend to stay that way.
  8. Gary and Maggie feels like endgame to me, but I'm happy to be wrong. It just seems like they want to play the will they/won't they game with them, despite them ending things well. Sure, there were some hurt feelings, but no animosity. Not all breakups can boast that. IA with you, Gary can't grow with Maggie, and she can't grow with him. I think they really needed each other when they were together, but they grew apart. It happens.
  9. That was awesome. The doctor in the first story probably got off the easiest. Yeah, he ends up in a coma, but he's reliving the orgasmic sensation of his actions, so at least he's peaceful. Could have gone without seeing the gory stuff with him mutilating himself, though. As for Carrie and Jack, I sympathize with them both. The transfer was just an awful idea from the start, but that's how Haynes worked, he would reach these people at their most vulnerable moments and propose a miracle that seemed impossible. And he said it himself: the real reason that the transfer failed was because it took away any semblance of privacy from Jack, and any agency away from Carrie. None of the experiments were reversible, so the guinea pigs were stuck with the consequences. TCKR knew that too. The point was to get enough data to do the same procedure on someone else, having worked out all the kinks on the previous subjects. That's why Haynes and TCKR never charged for the services. Still, the needle tips over to Carrie slightly. One thing I noticed was that when Haynes brought up the transfer to Jack and Carrie, Carrie immediately agreed, but Jack was more reticent. Still, he went ahead with it. Years later, when it came to transferring Carrie's consciousness to the stuffed monkey, Emily (Jack's new GF) agreed, while Jack was reticent, but went ahead with it anyway. Jack let himself get swayed by others when it came to major decisions, so it wasn't surprising that he relented on everything. Emily probably gave the stuffed monkey to Haynes and told Jack it was lost. And Jack willingly accepted that, because he wanted the whole thing to be over and done with anyway. Clayton's story was the saddest, and it's not surprising that racists and White supremacists were some of the most gleeful watchers who pulled the switch. Hopefully his consciousness isn't in the souvenirs. I know Haynes' story started unraveling at that time, but I think that was when the poison really took affect, so that could be it. I don't think Nish having her mother's consciousness in her head is a good idea, despite the happy ending. But maybe there was a way to transfer her mother and Carrie into something else, or San Junipero, like others have mentioned.
  10. I was wondering this too. I guess physical manifestations of arousal never showed, like erections. I think Karl had more emotional ties to Danny than he admitted. I think that if Danny had responded differently to the kiss, Karl would have as well. And there was a genuine connection between the two of them through their shared history as friends. Could be why Karl got the cat at the end, he was tired of being by himself and wanted something else to connect to. Everyone had to compromise in the end. Even though Theo gets to have a hookup for a night, it wasn't what she set out for. She was willing to sacrifice desires for other men for her marriage, and she loved Danny enough to do it. Karl only gets the "best sex of his life" once a year, and I'm not sure that he was able to really enjoy sex with anyone else. He didn't "finish" with Mariella, and he said that the other versions of the players in the game didn't measure up for him sexually. Danny was the only one who really got the best of both worlds; amazing sex, and a loving wife and child at home. It was nice seeing Nicole Beharie on screen again, and she's still got the range. She really owned the scene at the restaurant. She deserves way more work than she gets.
  11. Same The moment Eddie started waxing poetic about how he wanted to tell her and he loved her, I was just waiting to hear the crash. So predictable. But someone on Twitter said they think Eddie was hit by the drunk guy who "saved" him at the bar. Shame that Gary and Maggie had a nice, mature send off, because you know it won't last. Gary will move on and develop feelings for Single Mom, Maggie will return from Oxford with some hot British arm candy, and Gary will get jealous. Figured Rome and Regina wouldn't get the baby. I know Regina is hurting but blaming Rome isn't the way to go. He's in as much pain as she is.
  12. Basically. Even with the footage they have, there’s so much negative press with this show. Besides the shoddy craftsmanship, the current residents don’t want them there, anyway. And I noticed that the recent articles list Donovan as Alison’s ex-partner. I guess she would have to get a new construction partner to continue the series.
  13. Ow, Saoirse. That peplum does look like it has its own tray. The skirt is so pretty, but it looks like it belongs on a totally different dress.
  14. ITA. The look is very simple, but accentuates her beautifully and the color works. Sandra’s dress is just too much.
  15. I thought she was Linda Ellerbee at first. And while I love Linda Ellerbee, blonde does not work on Olivia.
  16. I recognized the coma guy's son from Sleepy Hollow. Hey, Corbin's son! I really don't care what's going on with Iggy. I feel like all the loathing I had for Bloom has now transferred to Castro.
  17. This show does irritate me at times, but I think the writers are aware that it's not that accurate, hence the upbeat jazzy music and lighthearted tone. It's not as clever as Scrubs, but I don't mind it. She definitely is, thankfully. I thought it was due to her hookup with the PT, but I guess it's more than that.
  18. I thought the same thing, especially when he said he wasn’t trying to “rock the boat”. I thought it was leading to a proposal.
  19. Is Jennifer Aniston high, or sick? She was flubbing her lines and I thought she was gonna throw up for a minute.
  20. Damn, he went in! Can’t lie, some of that was spot on. ”I know you haven’t seen my show.” Enjoy it, Ramy!
  21. It's been a long time since I've had Domino's, but I definitely remember the flour/crust thing, and it happened nearly every time we ordered from there. I never thought anything of it, though. I just figured they dusted some flour on the bottom of the box so the pizza wouldn't stick. That said, Domino's gives me stomachaches I don't eat it. Same with Pizza Hut. Shame, because I'm OK with eating cheap.
  22. Disappointing, but not surprising. Would have been nice if they had one final season to wrap everything up.
  23. I really hope this gets a second season. That was a good finale, but I don't want it to be the end. There's still so many questions. Trieu vaporizing the 7th Kalvary was just too satisfying. And Keene getting liquified (while wearing those stupid panties, no less) made it all the better. I thought he was going to exit the machine looking like a horrible abomination, like Brundlefly. I felt sorry for the Warden/Adam. Assuming that he didn't even want the role of a villain, Adrien had to turn the knife sideways and tell the Adam that he didn't even do a good job of it. Poor Angela. Even if she has supernatural powers, she's lost Cal, and nothing makes up for that. Love them together.
  24. I wondered the same. Is there a reason they changed it? Watchmen is getting my live viewing tonight, but I’ll still DVR the KCH. I’m really looking forward to the Sesame Street tribute.
