I've been rewatching Isaac's lapdance to check out the reactions of the other ghosts in the background (among other reasons.) Loved Thorfinn's admiration for the dancer's abs, Trevor almost going into a routine of his own, and Pete getting into the music as well - only Sass seems a bit aloof to the whole situation, although he did sit through the whole thing. I'm pleasantly surprised that none of them nope'd out on watching a male stripper - the show has been great in regards to the open-mindedness of spirits from so many different eras. 🏳️‍🌈 I know the bachelor party was for male ghosts only, and that she may not be aware that there are male strippers at these events - but I would love to have seen Hetty's reaction to Isaac's lapdancer. It would have been great to have her peek her head through the wall and get all wide-eyed and lusty, and then corner Isaac later to get the up-close details. 😛

Dear god - MAKE HIM STOP! 😱😱😱😱☠️ Tim Kring's second reboot of Heroes is in the works?!?!

I fully applaud Oliver Stark for this post - IMHO, it's the tools posting the whiny "You've ruined my show - never watching again!" impotent threats/rants that need the chill pill. A huge thank you to all involved for the general inclusivity of the show, and specifically for giving Buck the freedom to explore who he is and what he wants in life. #RepresentationMatters

Cancelled, according to TVLine - there will be no season 3.

Moved to the Media thread.

I was gonna go with "He blowed up REAL good!", but that would have non-SCTV fans shaking their heads. I weep that neither Big Jim McBob (Flaherty) nor Billy Sol Hurok (John Candy) are still with us. This one's for you, guys! 💣

Sad news - Chance Perdomo (Ambrose, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) has died in a motorcycle accident at age 27. 😢😢😢

I had to go back to see if I heard right when, starting up the stairs in the last group, one of the twins (in voiceover) said that their game plan for the day (after a couple of sloppy days) was to slow it down and think a little more. Wow - slow it down when you're starting at the back of the pack? And then alternate between over- and under-thinking it as you repeatedly switch Detour tasks? Much as they seem like cool guys, I would have been disappointed / frustrated if an act of divine intervention had kept them from being Philiminated.

Jake is played by Ryan Hansen. I know him from Party Down, 2 Broke Girls and the reality parody series Burning Love, but most probably know him from Veronica Mars. The minute Jake said his mom was in town and that he never knew his dad, I knew where this was heading, and having Julia Duffy as his mom just sealed the deal - can't wait to see how that rocky "family" reunion plays out next season. I loved pretty much everything about this season-ender, especially the nods to Dan's womanizing and douche-baggery in his younger days. I hope they keep bringing Roz back for visits, and would love to see both Julia Duffy and Gigi Rice (who was a great choice to play Christine's sister) recur as well.

Royal Pains is following in the footsteps of Suits, soaring high on the Netflix streaming chart. I hope the bean counters and studios take notice of the rebounding audience interest in Blue Skies programming! https://tvline.com/ratings/royal-pains-nielsen-streaming-top-10-ranking-1235184745/

Another far-too-young loss - Canadian actor Chris Gauthier has passed at age 48. I remember him best as Vincent, the cafe proprietor on Eureka and Smee from Once Upon A Time, but he has a long list of roles on (mainly Vancouver-based) shows like Smallville (as the Toyman), Supernatural, Harper's Island, Reaper and many more. #RIP https://tvline.com/news/chris-gauthier-cause-of-death-once-upon-a-time-dead-obituary-1235173792/

Isaac: I'm sorry - can someone catch me up? Pete: Sass has been controlling Jay by entering his dreams. It's his ghost power. Isaac: Seriously. And I get the fart thing... (perfectly delivered with Isaac's special mix of envy, disdain and disappointment)

JFC - have they learned nothing from the vitriol aimed at the idiots who think they can just throw in edgy twists when updating classics without pissing people off? Just call it something else and change the names of the characters - there's no reason to desecrate the collective memories of fans of the original. Or maybe they think that any buzz is good buzz, and the endless pummeling that plagued the atrocious movie updates of The Avengers, The Wild Wild West and, yes, Bewitched, will wind up bringing tons of attention to their ill-conceived project? 😠😖

R.I.P. Melanie 😢😢😢 While my sisters were into roller skating and loved Brand New Key, I was always more partial to her first hit Lay Down (Candles in the Rain), which was inspired by her experience performing at Woodstock. 🕯️🌧️

I wish I had high hopes that we'd get something worthy of the original 60s series, but I fear it'll be closer to the 1998 Ralph Fiennes/Uma Thurman travesty of a film. It is not encouraging that the article refers to Patrick Macnee, Honor Blackman and Dame Diana Rigg (Steed, Cathy Gale and Emma Peel) as "a trio." The focus was always on the duo of Steed and his female partner, with Rigg stepping in when Blackman left after Season/Series 3, and then Linda Thorson (Tara King) replacing Rigg after Season/Series 6. I do find it encouraging news that the reboot will be helmed by Brits, who hopefully have the vision to recapture the cool, classy, understated style of the original. 🤞
