    I'm really bummed Jason didn't win and another social media teen won.

    I don't know that I'd call Xochitl a social media teen, that really down plays her career accomplishments. She's an actress that has had decent success, especially for her young age.

    I’m so glad the mods are (so far) tolerating our digressions into the joys of aging.  Nothing has been off limits, from gray hair to waning libido, constipation to falling.  I’m loving the personal stories and getting to “know” you guys better, many dating back to our days at Twop.  Who knew we were so old!?  I’m 74 myself!

    It's not the greatest for those of us trying to catch up between shows.  Like it's nice to see, but boy is it a lot in one chunk.

    In the last episode/s he was singing along to Seven Nation Army so he may just be a fan of The White Stripes.

    I assumed the character was a fan since they are a Detroit band and the show takes place in Detroit.

    The clues do not need to be spoiled as they air on the show.

    Yea, Steve Harvey definitely isn't known for fedoras but I can't tell if Karsyn for some reason believes this, she's mixing him up with someone else, or she's purposefully leading people the wrong way.

    Ah, good thinking. My first thought was Shiri Appleby but I was only focusing on the alien antenna.

    This was such a fun episode. This group seems even dumber than the last, which I enjoy lol. My fave part was Chris' immediate and OTT "I was right!" when Jane was revealed as Dolly's relative. Chris, you only knew because Karsyn told you!

    I didn't actually notice the medical coat until someone on the show said doctor or medical or something of that nature because I was so focused on the antennae, and I'm not even sure that it was a medical coat, I'm taking the contestants' word for it, which is probably dumb.  Also, I just realized that on the new Roswell Liz was a scientist or a doctor, so maybe it is that actress, but I don't think the diner uniform hats were the same on the new one.

    How I read the clue:  champion racer who records for beer.  So, I know the last part is wrong, but that's how I read it.

    Chris's clue did not have Tennessee in it at all. Not even close.

    And I'm trying to figure out why fedora = steve Harvey. Does he really "always wear a fedora?" I don't know if she made that up or I just never noticed.

    champion racer who drives for beer

    I can’t figure out what the two record players would be in that context but the rest and her two truths in and lie makes me think Dale Earnhardt Jr. 

    I'm pretty sure they are hard drives, not record players.

     

    Is the one that had a head shot with the alien antenna headband and doctor coat related to Katherine Heigl? The head band immediately reminded me of the diner uniforms from the old Roswell and I don't think Shiri or Majandra have been on anything medical.  This is the only episode I've seen, so I don't know anyone's names or any long standing clues.

    I was thinking maybe some of those scenes were flashforwards showing what happened to people after that day in the hospital?

    That's how I made it make sense too.  The scenes were at some undetermined time in the future - after Max left, but before he started the next world war.

    I don't know the process for hiring but I know that one needs to invest a lot of time and energy to get there, a lot of research and published work. I have a relative that has been working for the WHO for at least two decades and it is not just having ideas. It is also an unofficial political organization and Max would not survive there, let alone be invited to be part of it

    Max cured cancer (if you ignore that he had nothing to do with the trial and that they only tested on white people), that's got to count for something.

    I was surprised Karen saw Max and Elizabeth in the elevator and didn't have an issue with him dating a subordinate, but I guess they didn't want to air the issue of HR ethics. If they didn't do it when he dated Helen, of course they won't do it when they have him dating Eliz.

     

    To be fair, I think dating Max is in the job description for the Head of Oncology at NA.

    I think maybe Max giving Eliz his key is because she was taking over his job. Later, New Director Luna is taking over-- but that's what? at least 30 years later.

    That's what I thought too, once it was revealed that Luna was in a way future timeline.

  8. So I guess they didn't have a medic check out the folks in holding after the mini-riot?  You could see the bad-dad thief getting stomped during most of the scene. 

    I can't even with the ridiculousness that was Grey's daughter's kidnapping.  I forgot what show I was watching and thought the guy's tail light was just going to be legitimately out, causing Grey to look like a loon and lose all credibility.  Was the one guy legit her Uber driver or did he force her into his car, or did she just jump in a rando's car?  I wasn't paying enough attention.

    I hope Tim and Lucy aren't as annoying as Nolan and Bailey.  We see other couples on the show that aren't that bad, so maybe we'll get lucky.

  9. The finger sucking scene had me retching and dry heaving, it was only through will that I didn't puke.  I'm pretty certain it is the strongest reaction I've ever had to a TV show and I used to watch Bones while eating dinner.  That being said, this was stupid.  And I'm calling this stupid as someone that watched Bones.

  11. This show is never going to convince me that Martin is the problem in the Iggy household.  They've done too good of a job of portraying Iggy as a monster for years. 

    My assumption is that Helen's erratic behavior is trauma related -- maybe her getting drugged and having a stroke took a toll on her?  Max should understand as he had that whole trauma response mania going on last season.  Except that's all me fanwanking the stupidity, knowing this show it'll be something super lame.

    I had originally opted to not watch the whole series, as I didn't like the first episode much.  But . . . Bosch.

    So we binged it yesterday and today.  Some of it wasn't bad, but that WHOLE last episode was just off.  Harry telling a cop and Honey to withhold evidence of a crime (the shooting at the guy who shot the cop)????  Just because he didn't want Maddie to have to, oh, act like a cop and testify about a police action in which she was involved?  Nope.  Not swallowing that.

    And then Harry stole the security guy's car with him in it (GTA and kidnapping)?  Not to mention the assault on the guy????  So PIs are allowed to commit crimes????

    I thought the part about the secretary killing Whitney Vance was interesting.  

    But now Maddie has been kidnapped by a city inspector (how many of them are there?) who not only was the suspected serial rapist, but just HAPPENED to stop at the same food truck as she and her TO.  Come on, writers . . . do better.

    And Madison Lintz is about tied with Louisa Jacobson  (The Gilded Age) as worst young female actress in a streamed series.

    I believe there are 100-ish inspectors with LA Building and Safety if you include the chiefs and vacancies.  I think there was an implication that he was stalking Madi, so it might not have been a coincidence that he was at her lunch spot.

    I was super annoyed by the cliff hanger.  There was one at the end of the last 2 episode block too and probably at least some of the prior ones as well (like the billionaire slumping in his wheel chair).  So I was thinking "is this how they are doing it now?  So annoying" and I was even more annoyed when I realized this was the season ender.

    THIS A MILLION TIMES! Why was the wife/girlfriend acting so surprised?  She really irritates me.  I really don’t care about of of their personal lives, I wish she would have taken Elliot’s family with her when she ran away and hope she’s never found.  I mean I could see if Bell had never mentioned anything, but she did just about all she could to warn her with the exception of putting up a billboard. I could see if the wife was just flat out like he didn’t do anything, but she came off as if she was shocked there was even a possibility of him being arrested even though told before she even took the job the guy was under scrutiny.

     

    This times  one thousand.  What did the wife expect?  Ayanna to just not arrest the guy because she took the job even though she was warned?  She got a big fuck you from me when she was acting all outraged.  Every time Elliot's mom is on and doesn't die I am disappointed and then I feel like a jerk for wanting her dead.

    I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, in that she was post partum and maybe not acting completely in character.  

    I thought the giant list of emergency contacts was hilarious.  

    I wasn't looking at it as a Nic problem, more of a writing her OOC to fit the needs of the storyline problem.  But I did think it could be blamed on hormones since she'd just had Gigi, I just don't like that answer because it seems too "oh you know how those ladies are" to me.  But I could also be remembering Nic better than she actually was since she's not on anymore.

    Also, I never thought about it, but the family pic posted above makes it seem like they did a great job casting the kid looks-wise.

  15. Holy shit.  Iggy.  I don't think I'm going to be able to pick my jaw up off the floor.  He is always the absolute worst, but this is a whole new level.

    Floyd is an idiot.  Why would he overschedule like that?  The patients had been waiting months, they didn't all have to have surgery at the same time.  He could have prioritized and spread it out over a couple of days.

    The surgery was secret in that Floyd didn’t have it set up in a regular operating room where an on call vascular surgeon would be available. Of course the hospital wouldn’t set up a surgery for free and no way would the free clinic have an operating room.  I am sometimes confused by how this works as this is a public hospital but apparently the patient didn’t go thru the right channels or didn’t qualify for some reason.

    It was implied that the clinic had an operating room and for the first surgery Floyd participated as a consulting surgeon from New Amsterdam -- he was consulting because the clinic and the hospital are separate entities.  IDK, it doesn't make sense, but like nothing on this dumb show does so whatever.

    If Iggy’s patients are ill enough for in-patient care why in the world are they allowed to be dating or kissing? They should be focusing on getting better. Too much of alternative medicine lady.That stuff helps with stress but it has to be adjacent to modern medicine. These surgeries with secret doctors would never happen and are just silly now.

    The surgeries aren't secret anymore.  I think they are in Max's clinic which is in New Amsterdam, which also seems kind of unlikely that his clinic would have a surgical suite, but whatever.  I think Floyd was calling around to find a surgeon that would donate their time, but it was not clear.

    A lot of this episode didn’t make sense to me. Like normally, surgeons have rights to operate at certain hospitals. I never heard of some random doctor just waltzing in last minute to a hospital that he has no connection with. Maybe, there’s an exception for extreme cases.  
     

    I won’t pretend to know the struggles of a stroke patient, but people struggle with chronic and frustrating conditions all the time.  It seemed like she didn’t understand the process, even though she’s a doctor and it was explained to her.  
     

     

    Given my experience as a watcher of shitty TV medical dramas, you can get emergency privileges, but the CEO/head has to issue -- maybe it was Max that needed to sign-off and he would totally do it without any due diligence.

    I haven't had a stroke, but I had a physical injury with a long hard recovery, and there's a difference between what you know and the utter frustration and hopelessness you feel when you are working your ass off and it seems like you are actually getting worse.  Helen rang true to me.

    For once, there were good things in the episode but as usual, not very well explored.

    The story with Floyd's patient is a call out to the surprising bills that people receive when they are seen/treated for doctors that are about of network and the patient has no choice, don't even get the information. There is a law now that eliminates that (in theory because in this country the "care" industry manages to get away with literal murder all the time). 

    As a PSA for anyone who cares, and I might have mentioned this in this forum already, the book Never Pay the First Bill teaches us to deal with all the assault by billing and collection agencies. There is rampant fraud in the whole industry. I was victim of some of those when the billing agencies sent 3 of my payment plans to collection, which they cannot do, one of the plans already paid off.

    The whole Fuentes story is so ridiculous. That's not how a board of directors behaves, cowed at the simple mention of money, not demanding proof, documentation, studies. There is not minutes taker, there is not enough people even. NA is a public hospital being taken over, but still a public hospital. I believe the meetings are open to the public, at least some of them. I think that any entity that receives government funding is required to do so. Max should have rallied people to join the meeting - usually it is done via phone call, in this case they could have invaded the meeting for dramatic purpose. But the whole thing seems to be to wrap up as Max being the hero and savior, once again.

    Can Lauren just go away now? With Iggy? Please? Ant take Lauren's holier than thou girlfriend too

    I had a 5 year period where I had anywhere from 4-9 medical appointments per week and had a surgery thrown in there too.  Someone with the same name as me (different middle initial and different DOB) goes to the same medical group and they kept confusing our records and my insurance was paying her claims and denying mine.  It was horrible and exhausting trying to fight the bills while also being in chronic pain.  I made headway with some, but I was drowning.  Luckily for me, my boss noticed I was losing it and asked me what was going on and once I explained, she had someone from our corporate office HR team fix it all for me (I worked for a Fortune 500 company and we were self-insured but had insurance companies to administer everything).  I can get my Karen on with the best of them, but I don't that I would have persevered without intervention.

    OMG Marianna the situation you are in is entirely your fault. You chose to "go undercover" and sign that non-compete. Your partners didn't ask you to. Instead of signing it, why not tell the other woman Jackie still the code. I bet they would not want to keep working on it.

    Also, the idea those other woman had about the face scanner that recommends products and shows you what they'd look like is the only potentially good part of this stupid app.

    Any one in the software engineer would have had the importance and implications of NDA fully drilled into them as undergraduates. 

     

    This is not true.  NDAs are not part of the undergraduate CSCI or CSCE curriculum at any major university that I'm aware of.  In what class would that be covered?  There might be some electives that cover it, but it isn't a core curriculum topic.  Anyway, the document that Mariana is having an issue with is a non-compete, not an NDA, they are different.

     Add to that that it is difficult to tell immediately what is flashback and what is present day. Also, although I get it, the way they bring the two kids together on film when they are in fact texting each other messes with my head somewhat. All in all, it's a confusing way to tell a story.

    Same, and I can't be bothered to pay attention enough to figure it out.  It's like obviously if Conrad is in a scene it is a flashback, but I thought the stuff with the other girl was present until she told him about it.  Maybe if the show was more engaging and I cared enough this would be an okay way to tell the story, but for me, it is just a hurdle that I don't know I feel like crossing and may be enough to get me to forget I was watching this show if Hulu doesn't remind me.

    I don't entirely understand crypto and how it works but I thought it was set up in such a way that every movement of it was public. That is what a blockchain is, isn't it? A public record of all the transactions? But apparently you can put crypto into a self-destructing hard drive and make money evaporate. That seems iffy to me. What is the point of a virtual currency that can be destroyed by a physical device?

    I also found it absurd that there would be a meeting of all the enemies from the show (but no one else) where no matter what happens someone is going to jail. I am pretty sure that would never happen in real life and I am pretty sure if this whole mess had to be investigated, Dave would be forbidden from being involved because she is involved.

    Sounded to me like they hinted that Scooter might have had a former mistress of Prince's killed before. Team Axe did a deep dive looking for skeletons in his closet already but I guess they missed the literal, actual ones.

    It never occurred to Chuck that he was getting played by Sacker? She's wise to all of his shit, I don't know why he would ever think he had her when a seemingly obvious thing like what he went after her for comes up.

    I know a few people that have a decent chunk of change in bitcoin that they can't access.  Back when it was new and folks were just playing around with it, it wasn't uncommon to have some sitting in a wallet you couldn't remember the password to (we used to play around with mining it on work servers).  I also know folks that had hard drives die without a backup with their wallets sitting on it.

    Why not put it in a vault?  BTW, it's not clear if he had crypto in those digital lockers or actually sold crypto and made money from it.  He wouldn't owe taxes until he sold it and converted it to cash, , like with other assets like stocks or real estate..  So there is no tax liability or tax evasion, another gaping plot hole.

     

    Yeah, I was confused by this.  It isn't illegal to just have crypto sitting on a drive with unrealized gains.  You don't pay taxes on unrealized gains.

    Also, someone pls remind me: isn't Prince one of the people who were on that magazine cover as having at least $10B? Wasn't there a whole weekend retreat that people paid to attend just to listen to Axe and Prince babble on about making money? (That was Prince, right? Wasn’t that how he was introduced to the show?) So he had at least $10, and he's down the $2.5 he paid Axe (some of which he presumably has made back by now) and the hypothetical $3.5 he lost in the wallets. So he's not out of it yet.

    I believe that the truck last week said Prince had $16B.  I'm not sure how accurate it was.

    Taylor is not entitled to sex with Rian and when your boss hits on you the "I don't shit where I eat" speech is one of the few semi-easy ways to extricate yourself from the situation with hopefully very little blow back.  Not meaning it doesn't make you a hypocrite, it makes you someone that was put in a difficult situation that had to quickly come up with a way to get out of it.

    And how predictable and what a media whore Chuck has become that Prince was able to know how to manipulate him with that street theater.  I'd love to know what the Governor put in that "letter" to Chuck and the Senate - but I'm pretty sure that it contained his machinations to keep the games OUT of New York City, and Chuck's questionable insertion of himself into every aspect of the bid.  Also I'm still not convinced that that $5,000,000 that went to Olympic guy came from Prince and Chuck made the accusation without any proof (probably also included in the letter).  

    But the charges aren't wrong.  As I've stated before, Chuck picks a target and them goes looking for the crime.  Which is not how this is supposed to work.  

    I assume that Chuck going after the private parks and private clubs as he was set up to do was overreach that went into the letter.  Otherwise, why bother putting that into play?  It probably wasn't coincidence that Jerry O'Connell was the head of the board of the one park -- Chuck has tangled with him before so it makes it look like he was acting on a grudge and targeting him.
