Anyone else see the new Spectrum commercial with Mickey and Bunchy? It was a pleasant surprise.

It was great to see Lena. I miss Avi.

Sammy the Bull killed how many before he was finally called on all of it? Ray doing what he does is not a huge stretch. Yes, it's rare but rest assured, it happens.

I think there were more than a few contestants that thought they had this won. To see a dance act and a magician standing there at the end was wonderful. I do not like to hear all about everyone's trials and tribulations. It's a talent show, not Oprah. Trying to tug at my heart strings to get votes just pisses me off.

And the dog.

That's right.

Simple. Money and connections. Sam is not Ray's equal. She is superior. The "secret clinic" was not a secret clinic. It appeared to be an un-used or under-used surgery center (much like the place where Joan Rivers met her end). To find it and rent it is no big deal for a player like Sam. The "influence" is based on money. You want the money, you do what I say. As for it being an established research program? It still needs big bucks to stay afloat and there are many other places that money could go. In Los Angeles alone, you have how many hospitals with research programs? Competition is fierce for that sort of coin. She and/or the studio provide the $$$$.

I did not see it as contrived at all. Hollywood donates millions to places like Sloan Kettering. One swipe of the pen makes your check out to another hospital. Do the surgery. Period. Cheating ass.

When I saw the guy in the upper bunk's arm, I thought it was another "suicide".

I think it was written as a finale and then the new season materialized.

Oh, yeah. Mickey uses Darryl and Darryl keeps asking for more. I am sure it's related to wanting to be loved and accepted although when he shot Frank, Darryl was out for himself and his part of the movie deal. I guess that was the Donovan in him seeping out. He is now stuck with being sent to the big house for murder or being sent to the big house for being an accessory. I agree. All three of the OG's blame Mickey for everything. Not being around, cheating on their mother, the death of their sister, etc.

I think the episode was Fish and Bird.

I have to look that up!

Mickey took the fall for the Armenian hit.

I found Daryl's willful ignorance upsetting. His feelings of loyalty and guilt angered me. He is a product of Mickey's selfishness or did he forget where babies come from?

I laughed when I saw "acid man" too! So, that's what acid does to you. Huh. Who knew? Terry shooting him was great for me because, dogs. I avoid certain channels to avoid the commercials. I feel bad because I know they need money and do good work. Just wait until I win the lottery. You will see how this can be done the right way. I agree. What did it add to the story or the scene? Not much that I can see. If they wanted to depict dog fighting, how about some big, barking dogs in cages? I get that the guy was nuts but get a clue, writers. I look at it like this~ The dogs have no choice. People do. More often than not, anyone that got killed was doing something stupid with no regard for the consequences they were creating.

The dog upset me and it added nothing to the story or scene. I know it was fake but I don't need that shit in my life. Wasn't the necklace from Cartier? It was a red box, I think. I did the same thing. When they were all at the vet's office, the comment was made that Ray took over taking care of everyone when they knew their mom was sick. Well, he's doing it his way. That's for sure.

I agree too. I loathed Abby but she got along with Ray's family (even though they are shits) and they loved her. Remember at the beginning? Ray told her to not let the lion (Mickey) in and she was sneaking behind Ray's back and letting the kids see Micky. That sticks with me through every episode. Ray's chaotic life was what it was but when Mickey got out of jail early, that amped up the chaos for all of them - even the good ones - but they didn't know it.

You have me on your side. We get to see Ray and all of his messes and to him, this stuff makes sense. We can't force Ray to be the guy we think he should be. He was molested by a priest, his mom died of cancer, he father is a shit. He - and we - are all damaged goods.

Just playing devil's advocate~ Abby knew Ray was leaving. She may have had the bar party knowing he was not going to be around. Ray was upset at Abby's suicide but remember, Bridget was the only other person in the house when he arrived. Under the circumstances, he rightly figured Bridget helped Abby kill herself. He was not aware of Terry's role at all. (I also find it very odd that Terry left the kid alone with her mother's body. I can see going downstairs and giving her some private time but to leave her alone? No.)

Except for that Mossad agent.

Nah. Harvey is cool. And no one confirmed her pregnancy. I think it was a ploy. For me, definitely both. I keep on flip flopping. I think they are intentionally making us think something is a flashback and then they surprise us when it turns out to be current. I was also laughing when she told Ray they could go out on a date. Yeah, Ray is a dating type of fella. His look was prime. She did not even catch it. Not a shower. I just need to smack someone. She dead.

I think he even has a stash in the trunk of his car.

Committed suicide, at home, with pills.

And that's why Terry should have called the bar. Remember, Ray called Abby and Bridget but not Terry. No missed calls on Terry's phone. Who would leave Bridget alone? Too silly of a set-up for the bar fight.
