What the world needs now is....the mute button.

Honestly, it took me a while to recognize him. My first thought was "Why is this guy fully dressed and doing garden maintenance?" That's when I figured they were all serial killers and Page's character was rinsing the blood off the plants. 🤔 😀

I've said for years that perfume commercials are just random nonsense. (Seriously, show me one that makes sense.) This one is constantly playing on Pluto TV, although shorter versions. The first time I watched it I felt like I was watching teenage serial killers playing dress-up in home of their latest victims. I assume they were going for a Gatsby vibe but I see more of a Manson family thing.

I need an interview with Garrett Wang talking about what it was like to voice this ep. That had to be wild fun.

I'm surprised to see the lukewarm reaction. I loved it. I'll admit that I'm a sucker for the returning actors. My jaw dropped at T'Pol and I never even finished Enterprise. However the truth is once I realized Lily Sloane and Alfre Woodard were in this, I was all the way in. First Contact is just such a fave of mine and so is Woodard even outside of Star Trek.

I totally thought we were going to learn that AffairLady was screwing Julian. One of the things I like about this show is when Olympia and Maddie have these honest conversations (or at least what passes as honesty for Maddie). Maddie has to lie about so much but when she talks about what it was like coming up in the corporate world she's spot on. When Maddie talks about how anything to do with your kids got listed as a doctor appointment that's very real and the idea that she would be a little jealous seeing how different things are for Olympia would strike a nerve especially when paired with Edwin's crack about how he had to cover for her with Ellie.

This really was a perfect finale. I hate losing this show but if I have to then this was a good way to say goodbye. So many many sweet small moments. I never realized that Tricia had been avoiding the house. I'm going to need to do a full rewatch. I loved Sam getting a phone call from her dad. I like that the character is still alive even though the actor passed away. On a different show that might have bothered me but not here. I like how we see Iceland show up blurred in the background during Sam's performance.

So Maddie just left all the beads from the bracelet her daughter gave her on the floor to be stepped on like so much trash? I don't buy that. I liked how Maddie let Olympia and Julian know that she could tell they were back together.

It looks like the show used Fisk's death to put an end to all the CIA stuff at least for a while. Which was a good decision. The episodes work a lot better without all that international intrigue. And everything is solved by "hacking." Traffic cams, private security cams, financial records, criminal records, facial recognition, all just a few keystrokes away. Every one of these shows has a moment where the hacker says "Already on it" and "Just sent it to your phone." It's almost a cliche.

I hate this ad. I don't have big problems with AI but this is just so plastic.

Oliver sure didn't seem to miss his dad much, did he? His dad died and he just kept it moving. He probably had his own little plan to kill dad.😀 One of the painful things about this show is watching people do insanely stupid things. This and the road rage episode had me screaming at the stupidity. As soon as I saw Val getting that spare key, my first thought was about doorbell cameras especially in that kind of upscale neighborhood. Meanwhile I had mad respect for Jordan. Her plan was a good one. She covered well when Val came to pick up Oliver from the party. Cobie Smulders really is underrated as an actress. This character really got on my nerves because Smulders wasn't afraid to make her annoying.

Honestly it looked like even Joel wasn't sure why he was crying.

This show is so much better without the CIA stuff. We've seen Dante's mom before. He talked to her the first time Big Ben reached out to him. I just don't buy Latifah's version of being in love. She seems so awkward around Dante and not in a scripted way. I don't care much about Dee's college journey but I liked the promotion of HBCUs.

This show, Tracker, and The Equalizer are all basically the same show. They're cop shows without the cops.

Not to mention they were live streaming the proceedings so millions of people were learning about her cancer diagnosis.
