    It was so funny watching Mou Mou spit the dummy and vent about the Royals. After so long trying to weasel his way in and losing his son in the process the Royals are now racist and Dracula's and the British people backward because the Egyptians built the pyramids. 

    Sums him up quite well. A spoiled naive millionaire who still wanted more. 

    10 years ago, I saw the memorial display in Harrod’s.  It was discomforting to see, knowing that his grief was behind it.  Disturbing is how I would describe it.  I felt sorry for Mou Mou’s desperation, but didn’t buy his theories.

    She's entertaining, but not someone you would cite in an academic paper.

    I grade the papers of college students.  Despite all the information literacy and lateral reading workshops, Tina Brown and other editorial authors are treated as authorities when such views align with whatever point the student is presenting.  I get the sinking feeling that some of these students consider The Crown non-fiction.

    I also enjoyed everyone ragging on Alan in that white outfit XD. 

    In an already strong episode, Alan was the best part for me.  The end credits film with the white suit and black cat and villainous expression made me chuckle.  I can’t decide if raiding the ark or romancing the stone was my favorite reference.

    Eve has a very social job at a bar and she's an actor so she probably has a wider social network than most people. I do agree that it was a bit lecherous. 

    The whole plot was reminiscent of classic Frasier including Ski Lodge and the episode with Ronee. Kelsey really makes his lines zing after all these years. It did feel crude because while both women were not young, Frasier's lusting is over the top now. I didn't mind Freddy including the "saboteur" line reading, but not emotionally vested. I also like the grammar correction line.

    I really like the apartment and the kitchen is better designed than the tiny one in the old show. I continue to like Alan and Olivia; I think I'm warmed to the actors more. No David this episode and I did not miss him. I continue to miss Niles and the old cast though.

    Agree that Eve is very social, but knowing a lot of people and knowing them well enough to set the potential couples up together are different kinds of knowledge.  I know a lot of people through my work, but would never attempt to match them up.  David’s presence might have shortened the farce set-up, but otherwise, I didn’t miss him either.

     I do wish there had been more screen time for Eve’s play.

  5. The whole idea seemed a bit lecherous.  Eve is young and probably does not know many middle-aged women, but both possibilities are too young for anyone who gets a senior discount.

    Color coordination is key to any interview.  If the subjects' clothes and accessories clashed, it would be distracting!  🙂

    I appreciated the care the detectives took in dressing for the interviews.  The ties really popped on the tv.

    I applaud the writers who knew what George and Missy should do in the event of a tornado.  Too often you see people huddled in their cars under overpasses, which is one of the worst things to do.  I also appreciate the realism regarding the tornado itself — the capriciousness of its nature and how it just spun up — unlike in other shows where they seemed to have hours to find a safe place.

    But yeah, George lying on top of Missy in the ditch and her tearful epiphany really got me.  And for once, I didn’t dislike Pastor Jeff.  I do hope Brenda and Billy are okay.

    One guilty culprit of this was the tornado episode of Desperate Housewives: the warning came in the morning, the tornado in the evening.  Some residents boarded up windows in the interim.  The kindest explanation is the writers don’t know the difference between a hurricane and a tornado.

    But this entire season leaned heavily on the drama; there wasn’t enough comedy.  Baby CeeCee has the most beautiful eyes!

  8. I’m guessing it was prom ghost that went to the final place.  Or maybe her new boyfriend?  Will we find out in four months or longer?  The writer’s strike has me nervous about the upcoming season.

  9. I’m watching the 4/21 episode live and got called away, but I’m at the part of the interview with Knight and wife.  Has any reason been given for DNA tests, or not getting one?

    “At least none of my kids stole my truck or had a baby out of wedlock.”  Right, your kid only stole your credit card and almost went to Hawaii. 

    I did laugh when Paige’s mom said she dropped Paige at her dad’s and went to Hawaii rather than eat the non-refundable ticket.  But I feel sorry for Paige: her parents have no clue.

    The Coopers, while troubled, love the kids.

    Alicia dating Todd is basically Alberta's worst nightmare. Good thing Sam was able to "codblock" him pretty easily. I'm glad at least Todd inspired Alicia to follow her dreams. And considering how great she sang, I think she has a real shot. That was a sweet moment, Alberta getting to sing with Alicia.

    A phone call was received right before the singing started, so this episode was paused at that point.  It wasn’t the most gripping conversation, so my mind started to wander, to the point where I convinced myself that Alisha/Alicia was going to sing like I do: very bad.  Would it have been funnier if she couldn’t sing?

  12. Where to start with this?  I thought it was an awesome episode.  Trying to involve Jay, all the L’il Pete mentions, the description of hell (although my reaction to the song was close to Trevor’s), and Jay and the 3 blind mice in the kitchen.  Can’t wait for the rerun!

    That stunk.

    This could have been a good extension of the original Night Court. But…I have come to the conclusion that, as in many things in life, “you can’t go home again “.  
    I’d love to rewatch the original but it doesn’t seem to be streaming anywhere. 
    It feels like it should be canceled. John L.  and a bunch of amateurs not ready for prime time. 

    I think it’s on Freevee

    She's a journalist. She doesn't have to give up her source, and somehow I doubt it would end up in a court case where she could be threatened with a contempt charge.

    Historic sources provide the evidence that support the stories.  These are either written or physical/artifacts that can be evaluated by people interested in the topic.  Without evidence, what is it?  Not history, even though the book is, ironically, based more in facts than the musical Hamilton.
