This one hurt. Yeah, some randos I hadn't really gotten to know yet died but also characters who've been around a while and that hurt. Plus just the display of it...Alpha really needs a whole bunch of comeuppance. I think the pacing this season has been much improved from last season (plus, they seem to have finally learned less-is-SO-MUCH-MORE with Negan.) Until we saw the King actually at the movie late in the pike reveal, I was SURE he was the last one we were going to see on a pike. He went off with Alpha and then wasn't at the movie start. I was SURE they were going to go there and I was dreading it.

I realize it's cosmetology school, but does that mean you have to set the makeup brush to SPRAY GUN on your graduation day?

I have no issue with parents going out rather than celebrate a 1-year-old's birthday on the day. It's not like the child remotely understands the concept or what day it - hell, you could probably get away with them being completely ignorant to what day is the actual DAY until they are what, 4, 5? Later? When do they actually know how to read a calendar? Just tell them that day is their day. 😉 But that conference agenda makes me want to cry.

Jill called the TTH "the big house" - which is, of course, slang for prison. Even a dim Jill is right twice a day. (Of course, I have no doubt that her use of it was unintentional. It just makes me laugh.)

Okay, so I think Jessa's photo was UTTERLY tone deaf and put all the focus on HER and is yet more proof of how her parents raised them all to be about putting the attention on themselves even when they were preaching J-O-Y. Having said that, what Jessa WROTE - though I suspect it was at least partially ghost written - was actually quite lovely to me (and if I'm being kind I think she at least PARTIALLY meant the sentiment her ghost writer wrote) because yeah, if you want to have a baby and you know you have a baby in you and then you don't have a baby in you, that shit is HARD and it doesn't matter if you were 2 days late with the period or 4 months into your pregnancy. That's just a HARD thing and her acknowledging that (through her ghost writer - prove me wrong 😉 her vocabulary has improved tenfold in not ten years 😉 ) is not awful to me. Wanting to be a mom and then having evidence you will be a mom and then losing that? That's just AWFUL for those who experience it and I won't sit here and say that it isn't because Lauren had only 2 days or 2 weeks or 2 months to imagine what her life might be like because she learned she had embryonic cells growing inside of her and was EXCITED about that. But posting that with an extra pouty lipped selfie of herself with her baby bump? That is some full on Duggar attention whore shit right there and I make no excuses for that. Jessa learned from her mama.

How do you smother a guy without covering his nose?

That seriously might be the most fanficy thing I've seen on television in YEARS. Gunman forces one partner to reveal his/her true feelings for the other - I swear I read at LEAST five Mulder/Scully versions of this two decades ago. SO not good.

So relieved that cutie pie has grown into his nostrils! He's adorable.

Maybe Jana holds babies because she likes holding babies?

Hmmm, the Jinger-found-Jana-a-man-in-TX theory is interesting: 1. Jana and Jinger are suddenly besties 2. When Jinger posted the photo, she hashtagged "wishyoulivedcloser" 3. Jana is on Instagram when historically, this only occurs when a Duggar is courting

It's nice to see that baby's whole head!

It's as beige and bland as they are. Hell, it's as beige and bland as Jill's cooking.

So does the model have to pee or does she have a really ouchie STI?

Um no, that's not actually a thing that's happening here on these boards.

Given that the last three neighborhoods i've lived in over the past 15 years have had only nodding acquaintance with one another (you know, the typical "nod and wave in the driveways" kind of neighborship) but would literally have a phone tree (and now a social network contact network) just to warn the rest of the neighborhood when we see the Godbotherers - and JWs are the most common ones so.... - yeah, they might want to rethink their approach. Does anyone even open the door anymore to these folks?

This is not hard.

I know I SHOULD hate Rick's final out but I just can't. I was hoping for it and I got it and I am NOT ASHAMED. (Also not ashamed of choking up when Hershel appeared and the flat out ugly crying during Rick's final heroism, with the whole crew desperate to save him.)

It finally occurred to me what is so familiar to me about the new credits - total rip off of the credits from The Ghost Whisperer with JLH.

Oh, fuck you, Darryl.

Not for nothing but I live alone, work from home, yes have a 40+ hour work week, but even with my laundry room literally 20 feet from me, I have been known on more than one occasion to wash the laundry more than once because I didn't remember to move the wet/damp laundry out when it was done washing. And I don't have a 2-3 month old that is presumably disrupting my sleep patterns. I'm not saying (or not NOT saying) J&J hold work hours throughout the week like I do. I'm just saying I literally WORK OUT OF MY HOUSE and still can't manage to get the laundry dry on multiple occasions despite the fact that it's actually IN MY WORK OFFICE and I don't even have a baby (and from what I hear, they are fairly high maintenance).

STILL traumatized by the chicken in a can. #nosleeptilBrooklyn

Jessa has claimed since the beginning that she likes the smaller house since it's less to clean. I scoffed at the time, believing it to be full-on sour grapes mode, but having now seen for a few years how she actually "cleans," I'm inclined to believe it. (And for the record, I am NOBODY'S idea of a model housekeeper, but I don't let literal SHIT collect (and I have dogs ;-) ).

EXACTLY THIS. True faith Christians actually practicing the New Testament teachings they value don't need to make sure the world knows they are fishers of men.

Gregory and Sad Dad need to die just for scaring poor Baby Hershel and knocking his stroller over.

I wonder if they make sandwiches in law school....
