Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that Jake will end up adopting the little Asian girl?
My only surprise is that it didn't already happen.
That handy guy was dumb. A tornado is about to hit and he's like let me just finish this one thing, like it will even matter if it's done if the tornado destroys the room, as it did.
I might walk back what I said about Devon and the intern last week. I thought she reported him to him, but now I'm confused on if tat is the case or not, and they seemed more equals this week instead of the power balance being heavily in Devon's favor.

And now Max is going to get the hospital to buy hundreds of new computers so he can donate their old ones to this one building? Because that's what a public hospital should be spending taxpayers' money on. How the hell does this man keep his job?
No public funds were spent. The board members were CEOs of various big companies and donated the items. The one guy was a telcom CEO and donated broadband. The lady donated computers 10 months ago and then donated new ones when Max told her the ones from 10 month ago were shitty. I think maybe she was supposed to be a tech CEO, but a tech CEO would hopefully see through that BS.
The poor people are stupid storyline was super offensive. There's definitely an issue with the technology gap that was demonstrated through COVID and distance learning, but to make it the social issue of the week in the way that they did was truly offensive. As everyone has already stated, lack of internet access doesn't make you dumb or gullible. It seems like they also tried to tie in the cultural issue around alternative medicine and non-western cures, but poorly. Also, is the COVID vaccine that hard to get in NYC that people are buying fakes? I'm in Los Angeles and we're about to have more vaccines than we need - and it is free here, do you have to pay in other places? The real problem here is that at risk communities don't want to get it because they don't trust the government to not experiment on them and give them the same vaccine as everyone else, which is understandable after generations of forced sterilizations and horrors like the tuskegee experiment, etc. I'm in South LA and went to a bunch of vaccine townhalls and hearing all the distrust was really heartbreaking.
With its near constant ham-handed handling of the social issue of the week it's almost like this show is written to make fun of liberals.
I fully expected Iggy to say he was referring that kid to a new doctor so they could be friends. I was shocked when that didn't happen. Go Iggy, I guess.
If Kapoor's department had that many people in it why was the intern made interim head? It seems like they could have picked someone else. I was under the impression the department was unrealistically tiny.

Hey let's sue and get money. How will they pay for a lawyer?
It's the type of case that would be handled on contingency. The real problem is that even if their case was strong enough for a lawyer to take on, it isn't an instant payday. It would likely be at least a year or two before they saw money. I've filed 2 civil suits. Both settled out of court. One took 4-5 years from filing to payment. The other I filed in 2019 and settled a few weeks ago and I'll hopefully see a payment from it by the end of this year and the second payment will be at the end of next year -- granted this case was very complex and COVID slowed shit down. If you go to trial it can take longer. But it's not fast money and I can only imagine that brain trust facing Spekulate's lawyers in depositions or on the stand. Marianna was fucking in closets in the office and then started fucking her boss. She's not the posterchild plaintiff for a workplace gender based discrimination suit.

Didn't Vicky show up in an episode a couple of seasons ago? In that one they acted like she and Danny hadn't seen in each in awhile.
The house may be paid off, but I bet taxes are still pretty high. But I guess Wake Up San Francisco paid pretty well, because Danny can afford to pay for wherever he lives now plus let his kids live in that house for free.
If Danny has owned that house since 1987 his taxes are super low due to Prop 13. Assessed value can only go up around 2% per year unless there's a change of ownership or completion of new construction. The property taxes would likely be only a few grand per year.

Mina and The Raptor made the show for me, so I'm super disappointed that she is gone.
Isn't Devon supervising that intern? There seemed to be a major power imbalance and him dating her would be super inappropriate. I'm tired of TV shows glorifying this type of behavior. I realize this seems hypocritical give my above statement regarding Mina and AJ, but they were more equals because of who Mina is.

But the delivery mechanism as shown would make it impossible to use the drug intravenously unless one needle is IV and one is IM or one is empty and just there for show. You'd have to be really fucking precise to get both those needles into veins at the same time horizontally (as they are shown using it) . I don't know that IV drug users are known for their precision.
-
Why was Jacob's arm tied off when he was injected? With two needles being injected horizontally, it would seem Snakebite is an IM injection, not IV. Which, also seems far fetched, but I guess they wanted the track marks to look like a snake bite.

Ah, ok. I don't remember that but it does give more background and it does look like psychopathy, or at least that the writers wanted it to be but for some reason made Iggy forget the basics of psychology.
I'm not sure Iggy ever knew the basics to forget them. At this point I'm pretty sure he's a con artist that has embedded himself in the hospital and Max is too busy swanning around and Maxing it up to notice.
Max's proclamation that he was resigning and giving Helen his job was reductive and offensive - not just because he didn't ask her if she wanted it. He was not suggesting Helen do the job because she's qualified (she is!) and would do a great job (she would!), but rather because she was a woman of color. Way to tokenize Helen. Even if Helen wanted the job, I doubt she would want it handed to her on the basis of her skin tone and gender.

I actually liked the racoon parts and that was mostly because of Gael and Callie. Everybody went with it and it seemed fun. They totally acted like us when a bat got into our house and we were running around and screaming like little fools. All the poor thing wanted to do was get out. Alas, I did not have a pink puffy coat for body armor but my husband did wrap a sheet around his head ghost-like to protect him from getting bit and becoming a vampire I guess.
Not wanting to get bit by a bat is valid as the rabies shots you would need afterward can be painful and inconvenient.

One of the crime addresses was on my street, but 5000 higher than it goes.
Molly Quinn has grown up. She was probably already an adult when Castle ended, but she was still "a kid". She's so grown up now. I didn't recognize her. I liked seeing her and am glad they cast her for a bit part.

I also wondered why Mariana doesn't have more savings. We know she was making $100K at her job. I don't think it has been a full year, but the coterie has to be pretty cheap for rent. All the other people who live there have jobs that clearly pay much less, and most of them are not splitting rent with a roommate. She should be able to last more than a couple months
Marianna having a lot of credit card debt was a plot point in either season 1 or 2. She spends a lot on clothes and going out.

I took Jamie at his word trying to give her a heads up about her boss's FBI investigation and thought Callie was a crazy person for not at least considering that he might be.
Same. I thought Callie wasn't so bad this episode and then that last scene happened.
I'm glad they explained away Jamie switching from corporate to criminal, even if it was a bullshit explanation.
The "comedy" show Alice is in is so cringe and racist.
I guess Marianna's partner being so over the top was supposed to be funny, but she kind of seemed mentally unbalanced. Who would wake everyone up to look for another adult like that?

Callie is always so sanctimonious and self-righteous that it was very satisfying to see her get a smackdown.
I'm not a lawyer, but it seems weird to me that Jamie would bounce around between corporate law and criminal law so quickly. I guess the same could be said for Callie bouncing between civil and criminal, but she's so new in her career that maybe it makes sense.
I ran out of TV and Hulu suggested I watch The Fosters and I hadn't before, so I am. I'm still on season 2. I like teen Callie much better than Good Trouble Callie. Teen Marianna is pretty annoying. She still has bad qualities, but seems to have grown up a lot between Good Trouble and where I'm at in The Fosters.

From the LA Times https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-03-12/california-bar-cast-doubts-on-tom-girardis-alzheimers-diagnosis-suggests-charges-coming
QuoteThe State Bar of California cast doubt Friday on troubled lawyer Tom Girardi’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting it was a possible case of malingering and likely igniting a battle over his mental competency.
Lawyers for the bar raised the questions in a Superior Court filing that also revealed the agency is preparing to move against Girardi’s license. The bar regulates attorneys in California.
Bar investigations and disciplinary proceedings are normally confidential, but the agency disclosed “imminent” charges against Girardi in an attempt to stave off conservatorship proceedings that would impede its ability to prosecute him.

Count me as another that prefers fake Liz to real Liz.
So does the FBI Agents union make it impossible to fire agents? Because that's the only reason I can think of that they have not all been shitcanned.

Arpi was thrilled to take Andi MacDowell's monogrammed bag because they had the same initials.
I like Holly Hunter's character, but not her. But I'm attributing everything I don't like about it to my dislike of her. A lot of the over the top stuff reads true to me, there are a lot of ridiculous people in LA politics. My least favorite character is Mikaela.
There were so many funny lines this episode. "Because fires we've got." The slams on the principal/teacher and Orly's face at Ted Danson when he's laughing at them. "I made her move into an old house outside of Sugarfish's delivery zone" broke me even if it isn't true.
The two driving to Sac was dumb. It's a very quick and inexpensive flight. It would actually be cheaper for them to fly. Especially when you factor in that if they flew they wouldn't need a hotel.

I've been annoyed with Chris lasting so long, but it coming down to him and Cat and him being so dismissive of her and then getting eliminated was delicious.
Deborah was less abrasive and more awkward than I remember. I remember her being worse. Seeing her though made me think Chris was going to win.

Haha, I am definitely too lazy to dye my own macrame rope. If I can't find the color I want already made, I'll just look for another color.
It does make me envious that the contestants on the show have access to so many different colors of glass though! It must be nice to have access to such a wide range of colors. I've only done glassblowing twice and they had a few colors of frit already out for us to choose from and I didn't think I should say, "Ummmm, but I'm really looking for something in a royal blue. Do you have any of that in the back?"
I know I took a glass blowing class and that we made ornaments, but nothing else about it aside from there were no glory holes and it was much less hardcore than I was expecting. I don't even know where the ornament is as proof I did it, but I am certain it happened. I did a lampwork class and still have my torch head and a bag of cane somewhere. All the MAP gas fumes in an enclosed room really got to me and I had to leave that class. I also did a series of stained glass classes, but had to miss the final class due to shoulder surgery and still have the unfinished piece on top of the fridge. The place said I could come in any time to finish, but it took me so long to relearn to use my arm and then be strong enough to do anything that I felt like it was pushing it. The place is now gone and has been for a few years. Maybe post pandemic I'll find another place and see about at least finishing that up. My friend has a kiln she wants to get rid of, so I was thinking of trying slumping, or retrying lampwork as I think with proper ventilation I probably won't pass out.
I'm dyeing constantly anyway, so doing the macrame rope isn't a big deal, except I mainly do protein fibers and not cellulose. I don't like the amount of rinsing involved in cellulose dyeing. Being in Southern California, it just feels wrong.

The football player was the best. I loved that he was into glass and his statement on how important it is to not bottle things up. I also thought it was adorable how he looked to the head judge for validation on his critiques and seemed proud when she approved. He was just really great. I wonder if he reached out to the show and asked to be a judge.
I am a terrible person because I rolled my eyes and said "of course Chris is an orphan."

Chris was really in peak form with his ego trip this episode so when he started crying I immediately "FFS!" and threw up my hands. Then I felt bad and like I might be as much of an asshole as him.
I liked the pieces from all of the women. I don't know if they were all practical and fit the purpose, but they were pretty.
17 hours ago, ElectricBoogaloo said:I loved Nao's candle holders. Again, I don't know why the judges disliked the colors so much. On a related note, like many people I have been trying all kinds of crafts during quarantine. One new to me thing I've tried is macrame. I love bright colors so I've been trying to find string and rope that comes in bright colors, but I'm the exception to the rule. So many people who make macrame are into neutral colors so in this community, mustard yellow is considered wild and crazy. I'm beginning to get the feeling that Katherine as a very specific color palette. I liked the turquoise, dark purple, and amber colors that Nao chose. Contrary to what the guest judge said, these would go with a lot of different table looks.
I've been dyeing my own macrame rope. It is a pain in the ass. Do not recommend. I've been meaning to try a few other ideas around non-traditional materials, but am too lazy.

This episode made me stop watching and go to bed. I was mad that Jason got sent home. I don't think he was the most technically proficient of the lot, but I liked his personality. The creepy imp was my favorite. It was just so creepy and the eyes were fabulous.

Glass-wise so far Cat is my favorite. I also like Brad and Jason in some elements, but their overall pieces don't knock it out of the park. Personality-wise I think Jason is my favorite. Chris seems to be very technically skilled, but his pieces haven't called out to me and he is abrasive. I just bought myself a vase from Cat as a birthday present.

as soon as she said she was doing a teddy bear I suspected she would be gone. I was expecting the comment we heard early on last season: "it looks like something you would get in the airport gift shop." Unfortunately it wasn't even of quality to be found in the gift shop!
Yep! I was on the same page as all of you.
The piece with the murrini, I think it was Cat's, really moved me.

S03.E09: Disconnected
in New Amsterdam
· Edited by yourmomiseasy
Same here. There's a line at some, but they are expecting that to dissipate next week. I had to work a little bit to schedule an appointment this week because I missed my assigned 2nd dose appointment last week, but I needed a Moderna shot and I was being picky about wanting a drive-thru location and also not wanting to drive that far. And by working a little bit, I just mean I had to look 3 times instead of only 1. If I wanted Pfizer or J&J those appointments are plentiful because all the mobile clinics have those. I guess if you don't have internet it might be harder to schedule because you have to call. But as you said, walk-ups are available now. All this being said, it is hard to imagine a whole building of people both so anxious to get the vaccine and also stupid enough to pay for a fake one.
