Silverman didn't say "you are ridiculous", she said "you are being ridiculous". There is a difference. I will admit it strikes me as peculiar to want Trump in power because you didn't get your way. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot for spite. I find Brian Williams repellent these days. And he always looks like he really wants to be somewhere else.

I think this town is about to become "Hell". I became convinced of this when Emily served her sleazeball bf to Cassidy for lunch. That, and finally making sense of the whole gunslinger in ground hog day HELL story line. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the "God" in this universe is actually the devil. This would fit with the subversive tone of the series. Well, I liked Jesse for the first time in quite a while. Still liking Cassidy. And Tulip.

I enjoy getting two episodes in a row, the only thing I don't like about it is that this makes the season shorter. But I want to see all the seasons of the show. I am feeling cheated by PBS that they are calling last year's episodes the "first season" and this year the second when Google tells me otherwise.

Tonight KPBS San Diego aired "Bread" - in which the bakers had to make bread sculptures. And then "Dessert", they were making Creme Brule and cheese cakes. I have to say I am enjoying this season even more than last year. These guys are so talented.

Beezlebub is out. Shame that he gets to leave with this much money.

I have no idea what season I am watching now but I saw two new episodes to me with new contestants this past Sunday on KPBS San Diego airing in the 6 to 8 pm slot. In the first episode they had to bake Madeira cake and the person who I thought was the weakest was eliminated. In the second episode one of the things they had to do was to bake cookies and and make a decorated container for these out of ginger bread dough, etc.. It was very impressive. One of the contestants is a fireman by profession and he reminds me in looks a bit of Matthew Goode. He has been very solid and likable so far. They are all very talented.

I laughed my head off about Melania Trump plagiarizing Michelle Obama. This is about all of this convention I can stand without throwing up so I am escaping to my pay channels.

I am really conflicted about this episode. I like Cassidy and I love dogs. Poor dog. Still not liking Jesse.

The original movie didn't make much impression on me but I will have to see this one just because of the laughable whining against it. Every day I wake up to more distressing world news and this movie gets the collective panties of the fan boys in a twist? Good grief. Wasn't there also a vocal group who poo-poo'd the last Mad Max movie for being "too female centric"? Why so afraid of the vagina?

I would have found Thursday coughing up that bullet preposterous, but according to Google there are people who have done this in real life. Yikes, real life being stranger than fiction and all... I am glad Thursday made it alive through another season. Poor Morse, not only is his life in danger again he realizes he is in love with his mentor's daughter right before she leaves. He doesn't seem to have any luck in the romance department. I hope he finds love eventually. I am not a watcher of the older Morse series so I don't know.

I lean towards believing her. I think it's highly likely that she was sexually harassed but put up with it because she was trying to hang on to her job. She wouldn't be the first woman who had to choose between her livelihood and her dignity. Then after she was fired she had nothing to lose and she could accuse him. Her former boss has a rep as a notorious slime ball and none of this surprises me at all.

Yes, why do we have two separate threads? It's very confusing. I think it was - how clever of you to notice.

That was definitely my favorite episode. Good grief, Jesse is an utter asshole, right from the beginning I liked him the least of the three main characters. And he certainly didn't endear himself to me last night. Poor Eugene!

I love what they have done with their chief character. He has turned out to be completely against "type". Because of the actor's looks and how the chief came across in the early going of the series I had made certain assumptions about him, and they have all been proven completely wrong. He is a heroic man and supportive of his men. He even was sorry that he had to kill the animal.

Maybe I am naive but I found this episode quite thrilling. And the tiger was gorgeous. And terrifying. My favorite episode yet. I was totally engrossed for the whole thing.

When did you guys start to think that Weaver was not the bad guy/Skynet? For me it was when she wanted JH to be taught a moral code. This show had some flawed episodes but there was a lot of great stuff in it. One thing I really appreciated was how they handled the death of a certain main character - no dramatic TV music, no cheesy foreshadowing - just quick and matter of fact death. That was very un-TV show like.

Even though Cersei is not too subtly now an eeevil! Disney queen - with added incest - I did appreciate her taking out the pious high sparrow. I loathed that fucker for every second he was on screen.

When Jaime looked at Cersei there at the end it probably dawned on him that he was going to go from Kingslayer to Queenslayer. This was a good pay-off episode for us long frustrated book readers. And we deserve it.

I went "oh, no" seeing the Dr. Jeff preview. Lets hope he comes through this okay. I appreciate him and his show even more since sampling the vet show following - which is nothing but phony and obnoxious stick.

There was no budget left for a CGI direwolf...

Ding dong, the witch is dead. RIP Wun, Wun and Rickon and countless others.

Or it could well be that Jaime's estrangement in the books from Cersei won't stick and that he will end up back with her, just in time to die with her. I know GRRM has told the show runners the end game for all the major characters - they may know that all of Jaime's character development and "redemption" in the books is just a temporary detour to his ultimate fate. That being true would explain the botching of the character - they are just "stream lining" and cutting out the temporary detour. I hope I am wrong about this but I have had a sinking feeling for a while now that this is the real reason show Jaime is so different from the book version.

Show Jaime continuing to support and love Cersei above all else, everybody else and above all reason. I don't see any reason to question his intent to do anything, no matter how vile for her. There is a huge gulf between books Jaime and show Jaime at this point.

I don't care for The Vet Life so far. Too much of the vet's home life. And I hate it when they breed animals so they can't even do something as natural as giving birth. These poor bull dogs have so many strikes against them and it's all bred into them.

But in the book Jaime's threat to Edmure was a bluff - his POV makes that very clear - he was determined to end the siege without blood shed. He was also estranged from Cersei by then, so we didn't have to deal with any of these nauseating declarations of love for Cersei.
