Isn't Paige close in age to Kimmie? Perhaps the Center wants to use Paige to gain info from a CIA agent in a similar way that Philip is using Kimmie?

I get the sense that they are writing Teddy off of the show a la Lamar. Besides his legal troubles - which would be the death for his job as Mayor - he and Deacon had that nice moment when Deacon told Teddy about the cancer and Teddy referred to "both of Maddie's dads". It really feels as if Teddy will be gone and will entrust the girls to Deacon. I really like the doctor with Scarlett and so hope that she doesn't run back to Gunnar. I also like how Luke and Rayna have reached a level of civility.

I loved it when Jocelyn's second chair called Abby out for being such a horrible person. If the show is really about showing the people of Broadchurch and how the small town reacts to a murder, it would probably be the most interesting for Joe to get off and to see how the town reacts to him being back among them. We already know how the town reacted to Ellie when he was accused. I can easily picture the turmoil of "a non-convicted sex offender living among us" not to mention the impact on Tom, Fred, and particularly Ellie. One question: when did Beth and Ellie repair their relationship such that Beth was unburdening herself to Ellie regarding her marriage? I thought that Beth still blamed Ellie for everything?

As someone who has been in that ER/ICU situation, I could definitely relate to the rollercoaster of emotions that the Bravermans were feeling - especially when Zeek coded and had to have the stents put in. Have to admit that I cried throughout the entire episode. I liked Hank reaching out to Drew. Ray Romano has been knocking it out of the park with this role.

I find it hard to believe how bad this show is. The storylines are contrived at best. The acting is terrible - does Patricia Arquette have any affect at all? I'm not sure why I am still watching.

Finally watched the finale last night. Emmett really turned out to be a disappointment, didn't he? Till this episode, I really wanted Bay and Emmett to end up together. Now I hope that she runs as far away from him as possible; Bay can do so much better. Toby's hair was beyond distracting in every scene that he was in. What in the world is up with it? Is this some new style that I am too old to recognize? I liked the John and Regina scene a lot; those two have come a long way. I wonder whether Will was abducted by his father, which would account for all of the moving they have done. I don't want Regina's heart to be broken yet again. Liked the scene in the hospital with Natalie and the non-signing nurse. Probably pretty realistic.

I thought that this episode was much better than the previous ones. Much less focus on the trial and much more focus on the comedy team of Millah(!) and Hardy. Loved seeing Hardy's ex wife. Thinking that the bluebells in the photo were just too prominent to be anything other than a red herring. Loved seeing Susan Wright show up; can't stand Nige. The best news is that Beth stopped being an asshat, at least for this episode.

I could easily see the show recasting Jesus; I've watched enough soaps -- and Bewitched, Roseanne, etc... - to see how it could be done. Alternatively, they could do a significant time jump and comment how the boarding school was willing to take him even though he was unable to wrestle for awhile. I don't think that they will kill off the character. Assuming that the character is not immediately recast with a hunky teenaged boy, I think that the show will introduce some other characters to grab that part of the viewing demographic who are up in arms over JTA's departure. From the artwork, we know that the twins have male cousins who could fit the bill. Agree with Bringonthedrama above regarding Robert Sr's blatant disregard of Callie while she was sitting right there. What an asshat!

I also think there will be a time jump. I think that Jesus will be off to boarding school. The show wouldn't kill another of Stef and Lena's children after Frankie. If the fatality is not the other driver or some other red shirt, I think it will be Ana, who has been redeemed and has now served her purpose on the show. While I would prefer for Ana to stick around, her death would propel a lot of possible storylines - especially if the baby survives.

I really cannot believe how bad this show is. Patricia Arquette has no affect at all. I was hoping that the guy would shoot her after she laid down her gun and approached him. Nick Stokes better plan on coming back to Las Vegas from San Diego because original CSI may not be canceled after all.

I loved it. Thought it was a perfect finale. Cried though most of it - starting with Finn and Don't Stop Believing. Loved the last number; great to see all of the faces again. (Could have done without Sue being the Vice President but that is another story.) Well done!

I really enjoyed seeing Tasha again and learning that she is off to college. Loved the Barry Frost scholarship. I hope that we get to see Tasha again in the future. She has a nice rapport with Jane and Maura. Nice to see Jane still thinking about Frost. More Suzie, as usual...and Kiki!

I loved Callie finally getting a win versus Liam. I don't care how unrealistic it was - it felt very satisfying. Also loved Callie and Stef working together. Particularly loved when Stef identified herself to Liam as "Callie Jacob's mom". Thought it was a great idea to complicate the story with Sarah's involvement. This show does continuity well. Loved Mariana pushing to meet the grandparents. I wasn't surprised by the Christmas present reveal because I figured it was from them. Judging from the woodwork on the walls, there are either cousins or aunts/uncles too. Love the supremely uncomfortable situation with Ana in the Foster home. Good for Mike for leading Stef with the prenatal vitamins a la breadcrumbs to that hellhole. Great scene with Jude reading Connor's texts on Taylor's cell phone. I can see the Monte/Lena scene unfolding exactly as it did. We finally found out that her ex was a man. I really liked this episode -- particularly because there was a respite from the Quinn custody drama.

Binge watched all of the episodes over 2 days to get ready for the finale. Am in love with this show. Cookie is just wonderful; I love how she says exactly what she is thinking. Love Jamal and particularly loved the duet he did with Delphine .Can't wait for the Bunky secret to come out because you know that it will.

I didn't get the sense that Lee kidnapped Claire. She appeared to be too large for him to easily carry plus it all happened so quickly. Either she went with him willingly and is an innocent or she is somehow involved in the girls' deaths. Not sure why Jocelyn didn't object more forcefully to the confession being thrown out but perhaps that is why she didn't want to take the case: she isn't the same tremendous attorney that she once was? I'm ready for Ellie to stop being such a pushover and to stand up to Beth and the others who think that she is somehow responsible for Danny's death.

I had to FF through all of the Sue scenes (except the one with Becky finally blowing her off) because they were horrible. Enough already. I like Jane Lynch but this whole arc is making me dislike her as an actress. No way in hell I'm spending a second on Geraldo Rivera. As a huge Carol Burnett fan, have to admit that I liked the duet she did with Sue -- even though I only focused on Carol. I did like how they resolved the blazer issue. The show moves really quickly when you FF through most of it.

I thought this was better than the first episode but it was still awful. I didn't see Boyhood but I don't get all the hype over Patricia Arquette. I get nothing from her character here at all. Avery is very bland, no facial expressions, nothing. I agree with the comments upthread about the stupid parts of the train plot -- and cracked up at only the two Cyber FBI folks running into the station to save the day. At this rate, Nick Stokes is going to come back from San Diego pretty quickly.

More Susie!

I absolutely do not see either Lena or Stef cheating regardless of the lack of communication. I wonder if Monte makes a move on Lena - who then shuts it down? Really liked seeing the bond between Mariana and Callie continue to develop. Loved Callie showing up for dance tryouts to support Mariana. Glad that Brandon is choosing the music school over the band tour and remembering how much classical music means to him. Once again, Jesus seems to be dropped into one or two scenes just so that his face can be shown. I feel badly for Jill that Robert is cheating on her.

I couldn't sit through the episode but watched the last few minutes to see the goodbye tribute to Nick. I thought it was very well done. Nice to see the Season 1 picture with the originals as well as the photos with Grissom. Cracked up at the photos with Nick's various hair styles. A real reminder of the long history of this show. I thought that CSI:Cyber was horrible - dull, boring and too one-note. Arquette, Van Der Beek and MacNicol must not come cheap either. I'm betting that the original CSI will be back for another 13 episodes.

Thrilled that Season 2 is now airing in the US. Loved seeing Marianne Jean-Baptiste from Without a Trace as the defense attorney. I keep wondering if Joe is actually innocent despite his confession? Seeing Mark watching videos with Tom creeped me out. Hardy and Millah(!) have such great chemistry - wonderful acting team. Was surprised by the Vicar and Becca. This season is off to an explosive start.

My favorite part of the show continues to be Xo and Rogelio. Absolutely loved when Jane sat them down and had them spill out their feelings for each other.

Kudos to the poster in the previous week's episode thread who predicted that Herman would survive but be blind. The actress playing Amelia is terribly miscast in a role where the character is supposed to be a world-class neurosurgeon. She looks like a kid playing dress up. No gravitas at all. When Cristina went into a one of a kind surgery, she had an aura around her of greatness. Not so in this case. Completely unbelievable that many other top surgeons turned down Herman's case and that Little Amelia had the ability to save her life. Question for the doctors among us: would Herman have been blind but for the stroke? I was completely invested in the Herman/Robbins storyline and thought that both actresses did a terrific job. I hope that TPTB keep Geena Davis around to mentor Robbins because she brings the kind of gravitas to the position that Amelia was lacking. As a non-medical person, it seems completely unbelievable to me that they would only have one major neurosurgeon working on an 18 hour surgery. Isn't there usually a similarly qualified backup to handle part of the load? What if Amelia collapsed midway? Who else - besides Derek - had the knowledge and advanced skill to continue? Ridiculous.

One of my favorite episodes due to the Stef/Callie scene and the Callie/Mariana sister moments. I also thought that the Jude/Conner kissing scene was very well done. The two young actors are quite good -- in contrast to the actor who plays Jesus, who continues to be beyond wooden. Please let him go to boarding school in Colorado! I loved seeing smart Mariana figure out how to hack the e-reader. So nice to see a teenaged girl praised for being smart. Have to admit that I teared up at the final Rita/Kiara moment. So glad that Callie called Rita and Stef - real character growth for her; the old Callie would have tried to handle it on her own resulting in a debacle or worse. I also liked how we are seeing the next step in the Lena/Monte friendship - sharing personal and difficult details. I noticed that Monte still hasn't mentioned if the person she was getting divorced from was male or female. I think that their growing closeness is very natural - at school, it seems as if it is the two of them versus everyone else so it makes sense that they are sticking close together. The Stef/Callie scene is why I watch this show. Terrific.

I liked most of this episode even though I missed Jude. The Stef/Lena scenes were groundbreaking for an 8 pm show. When was the last time that you heard lesbian bed death, faking orgasms and satisfaction discussed between two naked women spooning in bed on a family show at 8? I thought they were very well done and was pleased that nothing happened with the kids to interrupt them. Stef and Lena are the Coach and Tami Taylor of television right now. I'm sure that there will be drama and tension between them regarding the baby and Monty but I don't think that TPTB will do anything serious to mess them up. Speaking of the baby, it becomes a much harder choice given the bio relationship to the twins. I think that TPTB set up Daphne/Tasha/Foster Mom to parallel Robert/Callie/Stef and Lena (minus the attempted kidnapping, of course). Glad that Robert called his attorney ASAP to deal with the cops. I love Callie but I am starting to get bored with the Quinn/Adams Foster custody battle. I wonder whether they are going to have both Daphne and Robert allow their birth children to be adopted by the respective foster parents because it is either in the child's best interests (in Tasha's case) or because it is what the child wants (Callie)? In any event, I hope they wrap it up soon. I really am not looking forward to a few episodes where Callie is living with Robert because the fallout on characters I care about will be significant. Mariana has come so far throughout the course of the series thus far. Loved how she kept her cool and saved the girl in the storage locker. I do understand her concern for her baby sister. If the moms do not adopt the baby, it will be interesting to see if there is tension between them and Mariana. I thought that this was the best episode for Jesus in a long time. I liked how he described himself and his family situation to the recruiter. I hope that he is allowed to go to boarding school and to only be seen on holidays. I also liked Brandon - particularly his pill discussion with Lou. I still don't understand the parents agreeing to the whole "I'm 16 and going on tour with no structure". I'm doubtful that the tour will occur and think that Brandon will end up at the classical music program. I don't see a romantic relationship between Callie and the foster center guy considering the age difference.
