Mr. Sparkle

It really was. I usually watch it before hand and then watch it live to comment on the live stream here. But I really couldn't bring myself to watch it again, so I watched something else and followed along on the stream. The only interesting part was with the guy in the woods, and that was just ok. Nope. Maybe in the "previously on the Walking Dead."

Lol, I definitely missed that! Was it after Bobby Flay's show started? It's on my DVR, I'll look for it. I'm glad they're giving us an almost 2 month break instead of starting the new season next week. No "celebrity" version this year? Who is that bald guy? What happened to Carla, or Alex G. for that matter?

I've always found it vague if he died of an overdose, or if he had an accident with his carriage. Either way, morPHINE was involved. That is one of the better episode, IMO, and pretty creepy at times. I usually don't think of Richard Mulligan as anything more than a goofy comic from Soap or that later show he was on, but he showed acting chops here. I don't remember another scene. Melodrama was never in short supply on this show.

Looks like you can watch them on Peacock with a paid subscription.

No, you are correct, they don't have those movies. I've never actually seen "God Bless the Children" or whatever it's called. The Albert one is meh, and I can skip the blow up the town one.

Amazon Prime has all the episode, with brief commercials. UPTv shows those episodes when they're finished with the regular seasons.

Wait, did I miss something? I didn't see a familiar face.

Yes! And Anne lost too!

I was like "she's kinda cute, I hope she doesn't... ah, crap."

I blur my background. I don't really want people looking into my house. But yes, all the apps have various backgrounds available. I'll go with a Godzilla one depending on the meeting.

Dear G-d no!!!

I will just say this: the orangutan episode isn't the worst one.

It's a standard tv trope to add new kids to an old show. It's a good sign that the show is long in the tooth. I know you've been watching these for the first time, and I'm sorry to say that it's well past its peak. There are a few decent episodes, but for the most part, Season 8 is pretty bad and Season 9 is worse.

A few times, briefly, once in junior high and again when I was like 25 or so. I never got into it. To me, it was just a dice game.

I'm also old, and had to look it up on Urban Dictionary, although it was pretty clear what he meant.

You are a Talosian! You've got the biggest brain in the galaxy and a talent for making people see what you want them to. On a related note, I love MeTV! The Love Boat! Buck Rogers! Star Trek TOS!

Yes, JJ. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.

I would've lost that bet. I thought the janitor was going to be around for a while as a low-level plot device. I'm thinking LJ and her boyfriend will take on that role.

Amber is by far my favorite of the remaining. I'll be annoyed if she doesn't make the finals.

I knew she died, but even watching it a few weeks ago, I'm not exactly sure how. It seemed like she only fell from a moderate height. Although, she's not the first to die from a fall on this show. Charles, on the other hand, only cracked some ribs and showed us his manly chest.

You can use me as a New York reference!

There's so much wrong with both of those episodes. Besides the obvious, that father is... special.

Yeah, I feel that way about a certain zombie show.

It's funny that you wrote "that sad." I don't blame you. I watched the first season and thought it was meh, maybe a C. When I thought about it for the next season, I knew it would just be the same thing over and over until they end it in some unsatisfying way. So I gave it up and don't miss it for a second. That same TV season, there was a show called The Passage that I liked, but it didn't get renewed.

That's why they were smart to end both the comic and the TV show. How long could they stretch the "new group of bad guys, even badder guys than the previous bad guys who were really bad guys" theme?
