  1. At some universities, the MA is earned "incidentally" on the way to the PhD, "after a student successfully passes all parts of the general examination and all other relevant departmental requirements.": https://gradschool.princeton.edu/academics/degrees-requirements/general-exam/incidental-master’s-degree#:~:text=At Princeton%2C the Master of,all other relevant departmental requirements. Thus, if someone drops out of their PhD program before completing or successfully defending their dissertation, they may still leave with a Master's degree (which was not their original intent.) I certainly hope so! Who wants to listen to people (especially people you know) having sex? That's voyeuristic behavior. He does when it is useful to the storyline.
  2. Or at least Isaac should have told his "best friend" Hetty after Nigel moved in, and not have waited until she came looking for him because he didn't show up for their usual rumination session. No wonder she feels slighted.
  3. At least with her husband. I'm not convinced that Katy is out of her coma, though. Charlie could have been lying about talking to her. And it seems like she should have been horribly burned. He had the intent to at least commit bodily harm. It doesn't matter that the actual victim is not the same as the intended victim.
  4. And the role of ram's testicles is played by. . . very large matzah balls. I suppose there's a linguistic connection there.
  5. I suppose that makes sense if she lives off-campus (otherwise, Missy wouldn't need a ride.) I'm surprised that neither set of parents called the police at some point.
  6. Heather’s mom called earlier and said Missy wasn’t over there. Heather had told her that she was at Missy’s. Exactly. And when Missy left Paige and Sheldon in his dorm room, she was going to find Heather so that she wouldn't miss her ride. Yet she didn't come back home until it was light out. Where did she spend the rest of the night?
  7. Did Missy catch her ride and sleep at Heather's house without Heather's mother calling Mary and George to say that Missy was fine?
  8. And besides depending on family for babysitting. Beverly Rose's dad (or his extended family) also probably takes care of her fairly often. Becky's position is actually quite good, for a single mother.
  9. Right you are! I missed it the first time. I'm going to delete my original post so others won't be confused, but thanks for the correction. (I guess I thought that the firefighters would hold on to the shawl in question as evidence, not return it.)
  10. We know she was in a sorority in college and I agree that she likely graduated. She may lack teaching credentials, though. It doesn't seem like she ever was a student-teacher, or assisted in a classroom.
  11. I don't see them adding a baby permanently to this show. I predict that Mandy will decide at some point after giving birth that adoption would be the best for her daughter's future, and that she will also convince a reluctant Georgie that it is for the best.
  12. It made me wonder why they even had whipped cream in the house. But then I realized that Bob probably bought it for Abishola's special breakfast.
  13. She thinks his little fingers are cute! I suppose, but med school is likely to cost $60,000 a year for 4 years, and she'll have to leave her job to attend. Then Dele will be starting college, and who knows if his father will be able to pay for the whole thing. Unless the factory does really well, their finances are going to be very strained for a long time, not even considering the fact that they are also feeding the 2 mothers. They were great, and the young actor really resembled Tunde-his nose was very similar.
  14. If it were dubbed, the word wouldn't match his lip movements. I don't think they like to do that.
  15. For those who want to learn a lot more about how the murder was carried out: Death Capacitors
  16. Like Jennifer Grey, she had rhinoplasty many years ago. Her daughter, Hannah Einbinder. costars on Hacks with Jean Smart. Although less-than-optimal grammar usage could be a character trait, I assume that in the case of Pete, the actor misspoke when saying his lines, and either no one present at the filming "heard" it, or it wasn't thought worthy of a reshoot. I don't know if the showrunner has the authority to ask the director to redo a scene for something like this. I wonder how long the writers were waiting to use that line. In this particular case, I don't think she was trying to be mean. That's just how things were in her time.
  17. https://lorenz.com/shop/elementary-classroom/programs-and-musicals/frankly-franklin There's a warning about that on Peacock.
  18. When Kathleen wanted to do the encore, Michael said, "What happened to we hide out overseas for a year and then reemerge, confessing our love?" Rebecca was pretty careless with that blue paper. Just as she plucked it out of Michael's jacket, Charlie saw it sticking out of Rebecca's. She should have stuffed it down her costume for safekeeping. When Michael signed his autograph on the menu (and then ordered a club sandwich, which wasn't on the part of the menu that was visible), I though that perhaps he really was illiterate. But the blue script refuted that rumor. Remembering that Kathleen had said she needed the money, I was wondering how much Kathleen could possibly have been paid for one performance (even with a director's fee) of a play in a dinner theater. But of course, small change was not her goal.
  19. Too bad that Brenda was the only guest at the shower. Did Mary and Connie buy all those gifts? And Mary should really be happy to honestly answer all of Missy's questions about the mess of childbirth and of nursing; it's the best way to ensure that she will not get accidentally pregnant.
  20. Lego makes 11 different flower sets, ranging from $9.99 for 3 tulips to $99.99 for a potted Bird of Paradise. The succulents are also cool: https://www.lego.com/en-us/search?q=floral
  21. Lauren Ash, who plays Lexi, did a great job in Superstore playing a very unusual character. Her role here unfortunately seems to fit the trope of "child trying to impress rich daddy in the family business," which isn't that interesting. (Although Adrian Brody milked it for all it was worth in the first episode of Poker Face,)
  22. I don't know if Amber would think that $60 is expensive, although I'm sure it is to Gregory. I doubt that a $60 bouquet of flowers (if she were not allergic) would have seemed a sufficient-enough present to her, either. I wonder what Gregory's other 2 ideas were. According to Barb, 2 tickets on Spirit Airlines were cheaper than a meal for 2 at an airport restaurant!
