  1. When Kennedy's wife died, they put him to a smaller apartment and put a couple in his old one. This somehow didn't go on the records and when the Judicial agent tried to frame Kennedy he put the "evident" in the wrong apartment (his old one). It is up to each person to clean it or not. Which is why the ones watching from inside celebrate when someone cleans. But I suspect most of people indeed cleaned cause they see a different scenery when they are outside and they think by cleaning the lenses others will see as well.
  2. So... people on the Silo don't even have a clue about what a planet is, what a sky is, what stars are.... Did this happened on purpose? or because the rebellion destroyed all history? But really.. I can't just accept that people who knew about history till the rebellion, they din't pass it orally to the next generations. So I can only assume they keep them ignorent on purpose. The truth is we do not even know if it was rebellion who destroyed the history archive or they just pinned it on them. And why the Pez is so important? In other news, if you live in the Silo and you have knees issues...
  3. So Marry Poppins Ted after having influenced positively almost everyone around him, is going back to America and Nate (or Roy) will take his place as team's head coach. I guess these were the headlines at the writers room when they started their season meetings. I am afraid filling the dots has been a failure, and whatever happens in the last episode won't change the mess this season has been so far. Was it too much ambition? They thought they had the skills to write for longer episodes? Quantity does not mean quality. Like spending all this time with Keeley, who let's be honest here, she is not that interesting of a character and what was making her tolerable was her relationship with Roy (who I still believe he deserves much better). And then Nate. I do not mind the redemption and Coach B said it well about second chances, but most of his arc was badly written as well. Why the players go and ask him to return? if he had somehow apologized to them I could get it, but their plea made no sense at all. Everyone seems to go to Nate when it should have been the opposite, he should had gone on an apology tour. And Ted...omg, his arc is the messiest of all. I'll pass the "every american lead TV character must have a big personal drama haunting him/her" plot device, I hate it anyway. It would be the most logical thing to miss his boy. It would be really normal for him to decide to go back home to be with his son. But no, we needed the unnecessary plot with his ex wife and the creepy psychologist or his mom reminding him. And what was with Jamie kept putting his head close to mom's boobs? That was creepy as hell. Was this supposed to be satirical about momies and sons always been their babies? I think the biggest problem this series has was failing to narrate a fairytale without turning its characters into caricatures.
  4. My sweet Parsifal III, you are such a beauty when sailing.. ❤️ ⛵ Captain Glenn: "who would believe we would have two completely unrelated engine issues?" Me: LMAO! I feel bad for the unfortunate clients of the restaurants the crew is going to. They make so much noise that if I were a client I would probably be very annoyed and leave. Does Gary ever heard of #metoo? Does Gary even care? Do the female members of the crew sign a special contract accepting sexual harassment?
  5. Well, I guess this not a very popular opinion, but I was bored.. Cause apart from that Great TV "Wedding episode", the rest of season was kind of boring. Yes, the acting is superb, some scenes are great, but we are watching the same thing in a loop for 4 seasons now, even if it is so well made. Kids are spiraling, Greg and Tom the usual stuff, there is some other very rich guy who is a tad villain (Mattson), Kendall keeps giving creepy speeches, etc etc etc..
  6. The tears are also for yourself, not only for yourself. At some point are also because of the loss: because you loved the diseased a lot, or you still have unresolved issues with him, etc etc. Do not forget Kerry stayed many years with Logan and no matter how controlling and manipulative the latter was, she made a choice to be his employee for a long time and he literally was a very important figure in her life. So, she might indeed grieved his loss for various reasons.
  7. Well, to my surprise, I actually enjoyed the 4 episodes of this case. There was the usual unrealism and over the top moments, but still it was quite good. The great villain was interesting, although the horrific part of the story was how many people actually embraced and used his site. My biggest issue was how they just stormed the bad guy's lair like cowboys a saloon. They heard him shooting, they knew he has cameras watching them and they just walked in plain sight so he could shoot them easier. Those Organized Crime police officers are officially the Stormtroopers of the L&O franchise. RIP officer Whelan..that your Dad euthanized you just a few hours after you went out of surgery, while you were still emotionally fragile and shocked. Well it is not an easy thing to be quadriplegic, but they should at least give you a few months so you could be pretty sure if you would like to join the great oblivion or not. Just saying. Btw, FBI is not really good at guarding targets right? "Let's all stay inside a car so the bad guy(s) can neutralize us easier." Why not? I guess Rollins will be back? it is kind of weird she suddenly became a profiler or whatever, but I like the actress and I wouldn't mind her at least having a recurring role. And last but not least... I am ready for Benson and Stabler to be a thing. They are ready. They are actually a very cool couple already. That scene where Benson was shot and was guiding "blind" Stabler through the restaurant was the best of the episode. What is the problem and they are not pairing them? This has become ridiculous. I was never a shipper, but I think they are there now, it is time. JUST DO IT writers. I am having deva vu, I have written the same thing for last season's finale.. oh well..

    I think it was a mistake they went with the weekly format, this show begs for binge watching.

    That was quite a uneventful episode, except from the flashbacks about Juliette (that left more questions, like how her mother and her brother died? went "cleaning?). It is weird for a father to let his only child work at the low levels at the age of 13. Ok, they were both grieving, but Mr. Nichols didn't win any award for the "father of the year".. Poor Marnes, not only lost the love of his life, he also feels responsible for it.. I have the feeling the guy who attacked him might end up being an ally. The man at the cafeteria... I think he was one of the ppl noticed the change on the screen when the power was cut and he is probably there trying to see if it will happen again. This show should be available for binge watching ... the one episode per week format does not help us enjoy it.
  11. You do have a point there... however I do not think the side characters, the ones affected by Ted's magic wand, can carry the show on their own. They were perfect in small doses. But as the episodes and their presence in the show became longer the show seemed to stall. I did not mind Roy and Keeley story when it wasn't taking so much "space". Keeley on the spotlight this season was unbearable, as it was Nate's story, not the redemption, the length of it. Still, if the writers believed there was nothing else for Ted to do, they should have ended the show last season, rename it (like Richmond FC) and move on with keeping it's running time under 30mins.
  12. The show is named Ted Lasso, and the lack of Ted's presence is frustrating and it is ruining it. It is very annoying that they are using the whole last season as a transition to set up a (possible) spin off. And as much as lovable most of the side characters are, I do not believe they can replace Ted. Rebecca's speech was amazing. Too bad that in real life big teams owners could not give a dime for the average football fan and I am pretty sure they will end up with their special exclusive league sooner or later. I decided I do not care at all about Keeley and I think Roy does not deserve her. To be honest I was never a fan of hers, I found her shallow Her whole arc was poorly written and it's only use was setting up for her spin off. But I loooove Barbara! And her weird snowball rules! I never saw Nate as the Devil (thats Rupert) so I never had a problem with a redemption story, however I am not sure the writers handled it well. There is something not working well here. I am glad he quit Rupert's team. I do like Jamie and Roy friendship. Best thing of the season so far.
  13. I wonder if having this season running "in real time" is good as narration concerns. There are so many things happening, super deals, elections, relationships collapsing, pregnancies and all this started hours after Logan died. The siblings had barely the time to grief and so many things happen at the same time that I find my self to have already forgotten Logan has died a few days ago. I guess their lives are always full like this, but for the audience...I dunno... it feels too "condensed". I think I would preferred the events to spread in a few weeks or even months, because this is when usually grief strikes hard.
  14. I know parents that never beat their kids, but were emotionally abusive and traumatized them for life. Abuse cannot necessarily be obvious, like coming from drunk or angry parents, it can just be parents that fill their kids with guilts and complexes or/and manipulate them and gaslight them. In most cases parents just think they are doing their kids a favor...
  15. I've seen Mega Yachts clients dining like "ordinary people" in small Tavernas by the sea, then take a tender to go back to their super boat while the rest of us were "oooooohhhh these people came from there?" :D The only presence of luxury was the sailor/deckhand waiting for them in the tender.
  16. I am really curious, does Bravo do any survey about their audience? Or the creators/producers have this obsession with fake drama, juvenile soft porn and cheap guests "entertainment" and think we also must like it? Oh yeah, I forgot about the farts and the vomits. I live in Greece, I have been many times in various Greek Islands and I have seen many yachts like this. When their tenders come to the beaches, they usually swim or have a drink/meal in the local restos/cafes and go back to the boat. The bigger/more expensive the boat, the more they do NOT leave it. Still, I doubt they stay on the boat to have a Spice Girls cross dressing experience. Although you never know. They funny thing is that most of BD's guests seem so impressed by those "parties" with the elementary school decorations and horrible show by the crew. The only drama I can believe is the crew one. Not the "who fraks who" or "who is the biggest drunk" BS, but the tensions etc. I guess when people have to work in such a confined space while at the same time offering exclusive service to rich guests, it is a very demanding job and can create confrontations even between the most experienced of crews. So this year, Gary has been instructed to be even more of an arse than his usual self. Because?
  17. $8800 for 22 stitches? They were made with gold? wow...this is insane..
  18. Which is why you take your rich guests to a private clinic instead of a public hospital, since you must have insured them anyway. We have to believe that expensive yachts clients just go to a public ER for minor injuries?
  19. So, the guests are supposed to pay a small fortune for a charter and I can only guess they are insured, which is why a medic can come on board on request. Still, the insurance doesnt seem enough to cover for a private clinic or something similar, instead a guest must wait 14hours (!!!) in a public hospital just for a few stitches.. And all that in Sardinia, with a population of 1.6millions, which is the second largest island in the Mediterranean and I suspect it has a big number of hospitals..oh wait I just searched and it even has a medical system for tourists. Snif..snif... do I smell production shenanigans? p.s. Really Bravo? sleeping farts? you did a survey and you think that your viewers enjoy listening to farts?
  20. ok, please inform the ignorant Greek here: why it is so important if a channel/network calls or not a result? Shouldn't they just wait for the official results? I am kind of confused. Other than that, I am also confused with Roman..I thought he has showed some glimpses of having feelings, but tonite he was just a sociopath. Ok, they are horrible people, but I had the feeling the writers were trying to do some redemption for them..I dunno.. the whole "This is what Dad would do" thing is well..psychosis. They are all nuts, literally. They screw a whole country because they have daddy issues. I mean.. wth? I am definitely Team-Shiv, but I am not sure for how long, since the writers of the show seem to turn off and on various switches on our main characters.

    I dunno if they explain the lack of elevators in the books, but my theory is they did this to keep the various classes as much as possible apart from each other and make controlling much easier. If, for example, the lower decks start a rebellion they have to go up through the only way there is, the stairs. Another theory would be that elevators would consume too much energy and need spare parts quite regularly. But really, I am not sure how realistic is the whole Silo thing anyway to manage to accommodate 10.000 for 140+ years.

    I initially thought the same, but why kill herself before Juliette be the Sheriff so she can help her adjusting? And why with (apparently) such a painful way? I guess she has the means to get a large quantity of painkillers and well "leave" without facing an agonizing death. Also, and this is a general comment about 99,99% of TV/Movies with a similar scene: When you see someone being in such condition and you are not in a crowded place, how on earth it helps to just start screaming "help, somebody help"?? I mean you are the deputy, you have a radio go and call for help. Go outside to see if any other deputy has returned to the station to ask for help. But it is almost always "somebody please help, somebody please call an ambulance" like if "somebody" is always available :D

    It reminds me a lot of the Westworld soundtrack, especially the titles theme

    Mayor and Deputy were drinking from each other's bottles... so maybe the deputy was the target? The moment the power was off, the window landscape at the cafeteria changed to green/blue sky for a second and people seemed to noticed... I wonder if this will make them start questioning what is going on..
  25. One thing that kind of annoys me is that Ted still seems so soccer ignorant. Yeah, he might "discovered" Total Football when in Amsterdam, but he doesn't know which team they play next week and keeps asking Coach B, who is apparently the real coach of the team with Roy. Ted seems to be more like a leader/motivating person than a real coach and that happens in the most demanding football league. Coaches in Premier League are not just motivators, they have one of the most difficult jobs in the world and just telling nice stories doesn't even cover 1/10th of it. I know this show it is just a nice fairy tale, but still this unrealism bugs me.
