For me it’s a young Patrick Swayze!

If the Night King is heading toward Bran and knows where he is at all times, why didn’t they put Bran in the Iron Islands?

I’d say Dany has had her share of rape and family members murdered in front of her.

Beg to differ on choice of modifier.

Arya’s face when she first saw Jon ride in was everything. I’m here for the reunions, the one-on-one conversations and interpersonal drama, so this was the perfect episode to me. Sansa is consistently not afraid to speak up to power, in front of an audience, that was nothing new. it took me seeing it on the internet after the episode to realize the little boy they sent home to gather his troops is the one who ended up on the wall. Really felt for Sam. I’m glad they acknowledged she killed his family; while they could have glossed over it or had him even be ok with it given how they treated him, they chose to make it a point to affect him and his conversation with Jon. This is setting up some serious tension. Curious how Jon will proceed with his newfound knowledge.

Gosh, I thought she had a perfect musical theater voice. Strong, full of emotion. Apparently (in one of the mini docs) Sally Bowles was a dream role for Emily Hampshire, so that’s extra cool she got to do it.

We know the character was supposed to be 27 at the start, but she has the same cultural touchstones as someone a decade older.

You’re right! Old white guys should only ever be presented favorably! They never do any of those things, and especially not the leaders of our country!

I feel the same about Kate. The teen and adult versions don’t line up.

Yes he was. There’s no worse kind of doctor than a doctor who thinks they are above question.

Indeed! Or this guy.

Yes - Andrew Firestone and Andy Baldwin. Most intelligent and most sexy.

Favorite episode. That was fantastic!!

Just finished this. I wouldn’t describe Joe as a serial killer like Ted Bundy.I think of a serial killer as someone who kills for killing’s sake- the thrill from the actual deed. Joe isn’t that into the deed. He feels like he is killing for reasons. I would describe Joe as a sociopathic domestic abuser. It’s about control, very classic for domestic violence. Maybe he isn’t sociopathic, actually, I think he does feel love. Psycopathic? Delusional?

What is WF? i didn’t like that they didn’t find out about immunity until later. The whole point of immunity (to me) is to see how it affects dynamics as they are cooking, and often the person with immunity takes a huge risk and ends up winning.

Brandon should have gone home. Every single thing was wrong on his plate and they called his biscuit, what, abominable? I couldn’t understand the judges’ decision at all on this one. Did they know they would be cooking outside in 91 degree heat? How does one heat-proof crust, anyway? I felt so bad for Natalie. Being nice always backfires. re: lambgate. Would there have been time for him to go get another meat, weren’t they at time? I think that may be against the rules. But it does seem that they didn’t choose strategically what should be put back. I wish they would have shown how much the other team’s lamb cost. Didn’t they also do rack of lamb? How come it wasn’t an issue for them? agree with above re: Nini dealing with Kentucky chef. Team Nini!!

I wondered this too. Nicky kills the woman and her child. Jack can’t forgive him, but somehow still pulls strings to get him home safely. Nicky and Jack never speak again, and Jack never tells his parents the truth. 🙁🙁

Did y’all see this? He’s age-queer! https://www.facebook.com/338028696036/posts/10157648528246037/

How is it that Cole is ok hanging out with the guy who killed his brother?

This episode was maddening. 1)HELEN, he asked you NOT to say anything to his parents tonight. It doesn’t matter why! You don’t get to make that call! 2) the whole reason Alison lost custody in the first place is for leaving for six months, and she was ill and needed help. Now Cole can just leave for six months without saying goodbye to his daughter, with no plan in place, and for no good health reason, and it’s fine??? 3) Luisa- no reasonable person would ask a mother to give up custody of her child so you can have citizenship. What? Why was everyone (Cherry, Luisa) acting like if Cole only loved Luisa he would do that. What??? No he wouldn’t.

Yes! Since when are he, Alison and Cole all BFFs? Last we heard from him he was pissed that they stole the restaurant out from under him. It was jarring to see him and Cole being buddy-buddy. What happened to the feud?? Perhaps something happened in that missing 2.5 years? I have been binge-watching this show for the past week or so and 3.5 was the first one I couldn’t really get through. I was terrified the entire time Alison was going to get caught with Noah and lose her chance with her daughter. It was incredibly tense and I ended up FF-ing to see what would happen because I couldn’t take it. I did see and was glad to see the part in which they sort of went over the fact that if Alison had told the police what had happened it would have all been fine. What’s the reason he wouldn’t “let” her tell the police? Well, the character didn’t really have one. It was all plot. But at least they acknowledged that!

Ok- the ending with the 4 laughing around the table and then the sitcom closing music was brilliant. Was that closing music from a specific sitcom or just generic?

Yes, totally. And I hate to say it is about looks but that was a big part of it too- I kept mixing up who was supposed to be Jane and who Diana; and the actor playing Gilbert... seemed like an entirely different character. I could have overlooked none of them looking like the characters if they had captured their spirit, as you say.

Watching Fire and Dew. I didn’t see the other two. Can’t help but think they casted every single actor wrong. Made me appreciate the Anne with an E casting more.

This really should be disqualifying for chief. This makes him DeLuca’s boss. Not ok.
