Of course she would be. What a great combination of Ocean's Eleven, The Devil Wears Prada, and all sorts of action movies like Die Hard, etc. Daisy was amazing. I fully expect we will see her again. Boys, say hi to your future Aunt. 🙂

I said the same thing. I figured they would have sent the clue crew to places that were on that road. The first of a famous pair of engine designers for pilots. I thought the Wright brothers too, but I couldn't decide which one was more famous. I then thought of Aston Martin. I found out that Aston is a place, not a name. Rolls Royce didn't even occur to me. Wrong. I did get Holstein as my history teacher made the connection about the Holstein cows coming from there. Got Kepler too.

While not a parent, I shared that too. I can only imagine that it is such a huge decision that must be given the utmost consideration and not made out of pressure. I at least appreciated that Garrett was trying to get Sandra to stop letting Glenn persuade her. He's her manager and he also knows that she has difficulties saying no. Glenn compounded the issue by bringing the kid there.

I said Treasure Island instead of Kidnapped as I couldn't think of another Stevenson novel even though it didn't make sense. Molly seemed a tad robotic at times. I'm chalking it up to nerves. Guru surprised me too, but I got it along with FJ Japan, Keystone, and Twin Peaks,. Were we were supposed to infer from the DD clue from Elizabeth Browning saying about George Sand: "True Genius, True Woman" that the author used a male pseudonym? That didn't feel like a helpful clue to me.

This was just an ugly game. I did get Shallow. I don't see Let's Dance becoming the new craze to go all in on a Daily Double. Got those plus the United Negro College Fund and Panama. I do see what you mean about the Easter Seals. Because seals being in the clue, I was thinking about the March of Dimes instead, but went with Easter Seals. Me too. It's a great show. When they started filming in HD, it made it that more amazing.

For what was basically a remake of "Raiders of the Lost Harp," it was really good. In neither case did they end up with the Harp, but it was probably for the best anyway. Of course, both ended with "You're fibbing, fibbing, fibbing!" In the original one, the idea that Scrooge was okay with having returned the Harp to the guardian made the nephews call him out on that. They were also delighted that the Harp couldn't call them out anymore for lying to him. Now, this episode was interesting because the Harp called out Mrs. Beakley for not keeping any other secrets from her granddaughter. Was the 10 years in the mansion just to isolate her from the harsh realities of the outside world or something else also? Retta did a great job with the role.

According to the NCIS Wiki, it's Hines.

I remember that episode. The scene at the Japanese steakhouse at the end was amazing. He was nominated for an Emmy as a guest actor for that episode.

Well, perhaps Beni interpreted Eastern as Eastern European. Well, my father and I are big fans of the Gators, so I wanted her to win too.

Great stuff. 🙂 The first Disney Afternoon cartoons all had extended songs. As a kid, my older sister owned the Disney Afternoon soundtrack with songs from the original 1990 lineup of the Gummi Bears, DuckTales, Rescue Rangers, and TaleSpin. It's on YouTube here,

I can best sum up my feelings on this episode by a word Gadget would have most certainly used: Golly! Having watched every episode of "The Good Place," as soon as I heard that voice I shouted "Derek?" Yes, Jason Mantzoukas was indeed Steelbeak. You're not alone. I did too. 🙂

Fun fact: Don Jr's girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, was once married to the current governor of California, Gavin Newsom. I do see the resemblance too. I was remembering that Tomi Lahren had gotten her start on OANN where, like Jerry Springer, she closed her show with her "final thoughts," but Tomi's were mostly just anti-liberal rants. In fact, that slippery slope penguin gender conspiracy theorist, Liz Wheeler, took over right after Tomi left to join Glenn Beck's network and then to Fox News. OANN runs a count of how much they claim illegal immigration is costing America every day. John did briefly mention the word Sciolist in Chanel Rion's Wordeby's, but I really wish he had gone a little deeper there. "A person who pretends to be well-informed but has only superficial knowledge; a self-proclaimed expert who actually understands very little. Why this Latin word ever died is an utter mystery. It describes a common and infuriating human thorn who, at their worst, end up writing our laws and spending our money and at their best, are hapless bullies who test the patience of angels. Sciolists are ubiquitous -- insufferable know-it-alls who have nothing better to do than tell everyone else how things work. We inherited this word from the Latin 'sciolus' -- which means "smatterer;" someone who speaks with spotty or no knowledge. The practice of sciolism is exercised by those who are blindly arrogant about their own worth and whose narcissism levels are only surpassed by the shallow depths of their understanding. Unfortunately, this word is not only all around us, but as obnoxious as it is, we have all engaged in an episode of sciolism at one point or another. Some more frequently than others but nonetheless, sciolists we have been and may sometimes be. So here's to being aware of the awful state of sciolism -- and here's to avoiding it as best we humanly can. . . ~Wordeby's by Chanel Rion . ." Just to be clear, the above was written by OANN's White House Correspondent.

As soon as Lincoln Cole said his other contact for decrypting the cipher was Catherine, I knew she'd be in the episode at some point. Once he got on the plane with the empty seat, I said "Catherine's gonna show up!" I liked the two of them together also.

Most definitely. Here's even more which might explain why Lena was so rooting for Violet: According to the DuckTales Wiki, Ty and Indy Sabrewing are the ones fostering Lena making Violet her foster sister. Here's the producer, Frank Angones, on that: "Canonically, Lena has moved in with Violet’s family. It started as Violet keeping her for observation and she just moved in. This was originally mentioned in “Nightmare on Killmotor Hill” but had to be cut for time unfortunately. That’s how Violet knows Lena hasn’t been sleeping."

Of all the characters, I'm gonna miss Eddie the most. What a great dog! 🙂

It's not terribly surprising. He's been hosting his own talk show for a while now. Those were really fun episodes. The right duck won the Senior Woodchuck challenge and now we have a plot for this season of new treasures to find and that Quack Pack episode was great! Huey recognizing it was a TV show reminded me so much of his voice actor's role as Abed on Community. Of course F.O.W.L. had the place bugged.

That Got Milk commercial is permanently in my brain. I say it the same way too. Did anyone else think that the new champ, Kyle, sounds quite a bit like Mayor Pete?

I thought I was listening to an interview with a Masked Singer contestant. I knew it was Mexico and Belize, but I was debating between Honduras and Guatemala.

I was looking at it from the perspective of Chekov's gun. Not the one on the Enterprise, but the one who said that things are that introduced earlier should come into play later, You may very well be right, though. We'll just have to wait and see.

Ah, Commodore Oh-No. It is indeed the rank between Captain and Admiral. Not just Kirk and Picard, but likely Janeway and Archer too. I suppose it's because they are StarFleet heroes. You don't have to be a Commodore before becoming an Admiral either. In the TNG episode "Coming of Age," Admiral Quinn wanted to directly promote Captain Picard to Admiral. There were more Commodores in the original series, Matt Decker (USS Constellation), Jose Mendez (Starbase 11), and Bob Wesley (USS Lexington) to name a few of them.

That's a great catch. There has to be something more to this story of Thaddeus Troi-RIker's disease, mandaxic neurosclerosis. Evidently it was silicon based and could only be cured by culturing cells in an active positronic matrix. I suspect this might come into play later. I realize it was the ban on synthetics that resulted in the inability to cure him, but I am guessing somebody is going to get it and Soji will be their cure. To echo everyone else, Kestra was just awesome.

I was expecting either "A Night at the Roxbury" or "Superstar" to be there too. I could understand not knowing those clunkers.

So it wasn't the Impossible Whopper? 🙂 Me too. Chinchillas are cute little animals.

All right, so what Phil Collins song were they referring to? Did they actually say? Was it Something Happened on the Way to Heaven? (How many times can I say I'm sorry? You can run and you can hide, but I'm not leaving unless you come with me. We've had our problems, but I'm on your side. You're all I need, please believe in me.) That could be it. There's a few others like Separate Lives that might fit too. I know they played "Take Me Home" at the end, but I don't think that's it.

That's my thought too and why I listed them first.
