The episode of Brilliant Minds that airs in the US on Monday November 11th at 10PM on NBC (episode 7 - The Man From Grozny) aired in Canada last week, and has a strong, gay-positive focus. It's surprising, exquisitely sad, moving and beautiful, and actor Alex Ozerov-Meyer, who plays John Doe/Roman, is amazing. Don't miss it.

First line of the recap, from the captain: "Doctor, this ship is heaven." Later, from the male nurse to the doctor: "Sleeping with a subordinate? Of course it's wrong. It's 2024 - have you been in one of those cryopods for the last 5 years?" Way to be subtle, writers...

I’m actually quite satisfied with Harry’s story arc. Once he had that 💡moment of “Ahhhh. OK, you’re full-on crazy!”, and walked away, I can see him steering clear of the hot mess that is Evan. School communities may be small, but there are ways to actively avoid people you don’t want to encounter.

😐😑

Ron Hale will forever be smarmy cad Dr. Roger Coleridge from Ryan's Hope to me... a role he played masterfully during the soap's entire run (1975 - 1989)

For those who haven't yet experienced their performance (and for those who just wanna see them do it again)... enjoy!

I'm absolutely loving this show. MAJOR kudos to Brian Jordan Alvarez and Stephanie Koenig (who plays Gwen) for scripting such intricately plotted chaos that mirrors high school life (or at least the ones I work at) in 2024. I relate far too well to how Evan's brain spins out of control and can easily turn a small misread/misunderstanding into a full-blown catastrophic over-reaction and demonstration of his inner crazy. I had only one gripe with this episode - when Evan is told by the students that Kayla's "AT" disease has been renamed "KS," I fully expected Evan to lose it over that new designation, and go on a rant about how the real KS (Kaposi's Sarcoma) was an AIDS-related disease that brutally ravaged the gay community during the dark days of the 80s and 90s. It makes me incredibly sad to think that not one of the characters, especially the gay characters, expressed awareness of or brought up the inappropriateness of using those initials - talk about triggering! Those of us who lived through and survived being on the front lines of that horrific battle will never forget.

Variety is reporting that the entire One Day at a Time reboot cast (2017) is reuniting in October for table reads of three unfilmed Season 4 scripts, including what would have been the series finale. The episodes were never filmed due to the Covid-19 shutdown. Proceeds will benefit Norman Lear's People For The American Way foundation. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/one-day-at-a-time-cast-reunites-table-read-lost-season-4-episodes-1236131775/

Maybe it's because I'm out and working in high schools and can relate, or maybe I'm just in the right mood, but I'm enjoying English Teacher on FX (also on Hulu and Disney+) more than any series debut in a VERY long time! (The 80s tunes help too...) Thank you, Brian Jordan Alvarez!
