I'm still mad at Audrey for her whole "pretend it never happened, put it out of your mind!" treatment of Elizabeth's rape lol. (I get it given Audrey's age, but ugh, I felt so bad for Elizabeth) It would redeem the story for me slightly if Carolyn Webber turns out to be a psychopath related to Heather and has been blackmailing Jeff the entire time to keep him with her and away from his kids because she cray cray.

Memory problems are part of long COVID. Brain fog is very debilitating. The only story I'm interested in at the moment is the hooker (heh) and Elizabeth, although mostly her story because I'm amazed at how much the writers have just blown up the character of Jeff Webber. I was hoping for better, but ... GH writers. I also really need Britt to discover Victor owns that clinic she went to. I was hoping the stuff with Peter's safety deposit box would lead to that, but again ... GH writers.

That's what I was thinking. I have no idea what we know about how Reiko died, but if she was pushed and ended up in a coma, but was found in the stairwell and they discovered she had this disease, they could have assumed she fell because of it and not because she was pushed. So the parents keep it quiet, Mom the psychiatrist hypnotizes Liz to forget it and that's why they stayed away and why they're acting so cagey.

I love seeing Alicia Coppola, and I had been annoyed that they never wrapped up this storyline, and here it is, not wrapped up again lol. But they better settle it before season's end because if they hadn't got renewed for this year it would've been left twisting in the wind and I hate that.

It's shot here in Vancouver, which I should have suspected, but all the B-roll shots of Alaska fooled me lol. [Somewhat related, if you like Alaska settings, I highly recommend Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak series of books.]

I really don't like Hilary Swank's character, but I think it works because she's coming off the same way to the locals and you really feel why no one likes or trusts her lol. You need that fish out of water character, but I find it interesting they're making her relatively unlikable to the audience as well. I love all of the other characters in the news room, but Roz and Yuna especially.

I really like Penny.

I think Holly being under Victor control will be a good way to get her off screen later too - they discover she's under mind control, send her away for treatment so Emma Samms is free to come back in the future if need or want be.

I'm guessing Brit will discover Peter left info about Victor and the clinic in Canada that gave her the Huntington's diagnosis, and either off she goes to find the truth, or she finds the truth and goes out to live a little. I HOPE.

The only training I think I could see Dee getting that would be helpful are things like how to pay attention to details in scary situations, self defence, what to do if you're followed etc. Like expanding on basic safety in a more full way because it may actually come in handy.

I'm surprised Catherine hasn't mentioned her daughter Lindsay, who was a level one CSI the last time we saw her. That ball got dropped. Allie is the character I have the most trouble with. I just find her so annoying. I enjoyed the sibling morgue duo (LOVED that they are siblings especially). Folson and Catherine are a great team, and I think her and Maxine are solid too.

I think this episode worked better in this season than as a finale for last season.

Yeah what the hell was up with that wig? I was expecting her to be a part of what was going on and was disguising herself or something. The actress is a real-life blonde, so I have no idea why the hair - the dead copycat could've been cast as a blond or put on a wig since she was in it for 10 seconds. So weird.

As ridiculous and implausible as it is I died laughing at Nyla's "It's a girl." Now I'm waiting for something to happen that makes her question the baby's paternity because you know that's coming.

I was so sure we were going to get some kind of reveal that the teen girl was in on something and the mom was right in some way, so colour me surprised that they didn't go there. A twist that wasn't surprised me lol.

I keep trying to figure out how they'd keep the Hook Killer on the show once they're unmasked/caught. It's like it needs to be someone expendable to death or prison. I could handle it being Esme if the Hooker "leaves" and Esme comes back and the audience knows it's her but the characters don't.

My favourite was OA bails going a billion miles an hour and rolls out onto the ground like it's nothing and then runs super fast.

She died of COVID if I remember right.

The only Hellfire Club I acknowledge is from Hawkins, Indiana 😁

I really miss the old format. This one just sucks because it feels like there's no one to really root for since new people show up the next episode. This Zach guy must be blackmailing someone at the Food Network.

On the Halloween Baking Championship I better see blood cakes. And corpses, and mummies and vampires and ghosts and all manners of Halloween things. Bring on Freddy and Jason. Load up some Leatherface. Come on Pinhead. Otherwise it's just Baking Championship, right?

Yeah, I really hate the "Curtis is really her father" storyline. I liked that Trina was associated with a legacy character, and especially Taggart. I guess my only hope is that Portia is wrong lol.

I wonder what Canadians will do - we don't get Peacock.

That lipsync. I so wish this had been a double chante.

I thought Kam Hugh was the weakest in episode 1, but seemed to get a lot of talking heads, so I figured they'd keep her for the drama.
