Mabinogia

I nearly died from the total lack of shock when I read they were already divorced. The only real shock was that I hadn't realized they were already married. lol (I only follow the franchise now via recaps so once the season is off the air I barely pay attention). I never felt that Gerry was really that sincere. I always got a "I want to be on TV" vibe from him and I think he was happy to let it go to his head. I have no real opinion on Theresa. Something about her put me off but I can't put my finger on what and she didn't do anything that seemed terrible so I guess she's fine so glad she's free of him.

It's a typical case of "a little goes a long way". When Jay is occasionally overridden by the wants/needs of the ghosts it can be funny, but when it is just constant, and he doesn't seem to get a win, it becomes frustrating/annoying. I do agree with those saying that without Flower, a bit of the shows heart seems to be missing. I still love it, don't get me wrong, but that warm hug vibe isn't as strong as it has been in past seasons and that could be because our little flower child isn't there to balance the more selfish tendencies of the others. I do think Pete is a big sweetheart, but he can't pull them all from the brink on his own, and he's been dealing with Carole which has got to be a challenging his usually sunny outlook. It just goes to show how powerful the right mix of characters is. Without Flower the ghosts have become unbalanced.

Well, isn't she special. 🙄 Well, she certainly hasn't learned anything from all of this. yay 😒

I always assumed he meant the male ghosts can't ejaculate, which would make sense since they can't seem to get rid of anything they have on them (or in this case in them) for more than a second. That doesn't mean they can't orgasm, just no bodily fluid swapping. And that is the most I have ever thought about ghost sex. I feel...weird now. lol

I honestly forgot OJ was still alive. I do feel for his family as I feel for any family who loses a loved one but I personally can't muster up any feeling at all on this one.

Match made in The Bad Place, that's for sure. I would love to see Pete and Hetty bond over jokes about their cheating spouses cheating on each other for all eternity.

I think that might be what the show goes with. While the Ghosts themselves think it is unfinished business, it doesn't seem so as Alberta should have been sucked off when her murder was solved. As for the others: Alberta - was involved with a bootlegger (if I'm remembering correctly) at the least, she was around gangsters and criminals so could be she made some questionable choices Pete - it is hard to imagine him doing anything bad, though he did give a small child a deadly weapon so maybe his too trusting nature caused chaos in his well meaning wake Sass - he's a little shit stirrer in death, not hard to imagine he was a little shit stirrer in life Stephanie - she's a teenager, that's enough in my book! (omg, I really am old and crotchety now) Don't really know enough about the others.

I feel the same way. The Carole we saw before was the "rewrite" this is the real Carole based on things Pete has said about her and her behaviour in all but the apology moment. I'm not at all bothered by them not showing her lamenting about the family she left behind or really showing anything about her other than what we are getting. I'm not a fan of her and don't really care about her other than as a prop for Pete's storyline and some good laughs like the ones we got here, most of which didn't so much involve her as she was just a catalyst for them, like Thor thinking he was going to get to hit her and then instead sleeping with her (just the reactions alone were priceless) and Pete punching Thor. I'm not a violent person at all, but that was a highlight, because I think Pete really, really needed it, and Thor can really take it. But Hetty was my MVP this ep. I know that in life she was a terrible person, and that her stories are horrific, but there is just something in the way Rebecca delivers her lines, like the scraping footman off your trunk right away, in such a matter of fact manner that delights me. And Isaac and his dino obsession was hilarious too. This was a good ep, even if I didn't actually like the main storyline much. I agree with those who said that watching Jay and Sam getting shit on gets exhausting. This reminded me of my least favorite ep of the entire show, the one with the cult. While there were some good moments in that one too, I loathed the storyline. I didn't hate this one quite as much, but it's up there. Fortunately, the secondary storylines this ep were brilliantly funny.

Thank you for watching that so I don't have to. That sounds horrible, and nothing like the Scrubs I knew and loved.

I totally agree. I get that it is hard for creative types to put aside their own "vision" to cater to their client's tastes, but that is what you have to do when someone is paying you. It is the one thing that has always held me back from "doing what I love" for a job. I love writing, do it all the time, but I know that I would love it less if I had someone telling me what to write or to change parts of my stories that I really care about. But as someone who likes having a somewhat comfortable life, I know that if I wrote for money, I'd have to "give the people what they want". I think that, because I think that way, characters like JJ who just do whatever they want and expect others to love it and think they are great annoy me to know end. That's just not how life works. That he was trying to get money to help his sister just makes it more annoying. I get it, being poor and having to make compromises and sacrifice's sucks, but that's life. It was also very shortsighted. If JJ made a mural the bank liked, they would have kept it up, more people would have seen it, they might have asked him to do another, or recommend him to other companies. He shot himself in the food by not understanding his clients needs. Of course this is the same dude who walked around saying DYNOMIIIITE all the time so, I guess it makes sense. (He was my least favorite character on that show so I'm a bit biased against him).

Proposing at someone else's wedding is tacky as hell. I guess they claim to have gotten swept away by the romance of the moment, though in Sonny's case, I'm sure he did it 100% to take attention away from the bride and groom. Sonny is a dick! I remember the ep in Mom, where the girl died and they didn't tell Marjorie. The great thing about that ep is that I understood each side's POV and IIRC the show didn't really take sides. The friends were doing what they thought was right in trying to save Marjorie from spending her honeymoon grieving, not to mention that she would go on to equate her wedding with Jodie's death. But Marjorie was also right in being angry that they took away her chance to grieve with the group, then then she thought about it and accepted that they did what they did out of love. That really was an underrated comedy. Some of it was stupid but I always thought the bond between the women in the group was so strong and well written. Announcing your pregnancy at someone else's wedding is just selfish. It's not like you're going to be any less pregnant the next day. Just let the bride and groom have their day, a day they have probably been planning for nearly a year or more. It's not quite as bad as proposing at someone else's wedding, but really, a wedding and reception should be about celebrating the bride and groom, and this is from someone who actually dislikes wedding, but still, I can respect that it is important to the people who spent a fortune to have one.

Well that looks...awful. And like another "reboot" in name only that bares only the shallowest of connections to the source material. Good Times had heart, at it's core was a family you (well, me anyway) loved and cared about. Not whatever this is meant to be. On the plus side, Netflix continues to confirm that I made the right choice in cancelling my subscription.

Donald and Maya together are gold (so glad they recast Jane, Maya is absolutely perfect), so I do hope we get a season two. Though it will be interesting to see how I feel about them, since a huge part of what worked for me this season was the slow build up to their relationship. Also, while I can handwave the whole "no authorities notice the bodies left in their wake" bit, I am not sure how I feel about getting over them both trying to legit kill each other. Or at least Jane actually trying to kill John because she thought he killed her cat. I think, at least at first, he was pulling his punches so to speak, but she had 100% every intention of blowing him up soooo, yeah, hard to come back from that (for me), even if it was based on a misunderstanding. However, that could allow the show to recapture the "slow burn" they had in season one, as the pair are now stuck together trying to stay alive and dealing with the aftermath of distrust between them, and the fact they tried to kill each other. If their "high" confessions erase the slate I fear I will not be able to reinvest in their relationship, no matter how good the chemistry.

That is true. I don't think this world allows for a Mr. Rogers type any longer. Someone would try to destroy him for some reason, probably attention since it seems like most everything that anyone does anymore is for attention, to get followers or likes. Now give me a thumbs up or I will end you! (totally kidding. I really don't care. While I get a little boost in seeing that someone liked my comment, I get a much bigger boost from eating a Cadbury Egg so I guess what I'm saying is, give me a Cadbury Egg or I will end you! (still kidding, I'm too lazy to end anyone.))

No kidding! Out of curiosity I just did it. Didn't say anything at first, was curious what it was, there was something about the way he looked in my eye (seemed to be) that just made me want to talk. I actually got slightly emotional and I wasn't even sharing anything big. What a great idea that was.
