  1. I have watched all of Season 3, and loved it, but please do not read further if you have not watched it all. 

    I have a few questions:

    1. Is child care free in Israel? Is there a push to have children, even babies, stay in childcare all day? Why was Akiva dropping his baby off at day care every day?

    2. Can just everyone pick up any child at a daycare center in Israel? Doesn't there have to be a list of certified persons?

    3. Was Racheli  ultra-orthodox? If not, wouldn't that have been an issue regarding marrying her?

    4. Libbe died when her baby was two months old? So not from childbirth I assume? Do we know why she died?

    5. I didn't think one could get locked into a car, unless it was a police car. I am wrong about this? Or are cars different in Israel? (I am not wrong about my car, I just checked.)

    6. It looked to me as if both Shiva the lucky one and Racheli were from much wealthier families. Correct? Would that have been an issue?

    7. Does one not get paid for studying the Torah? Are all those families being supported by women working outside of the home?

    I probably have some more questions too, but I would appreciate any answers anyone might have. I love this series.

    I'm sort of rooting for Chris, but I know that he won't win due to the whole social-media-can-you-be-a-host thing.  He needs to spend his time at home practicing his presentation skills on his phone.  

    I am rooting for Chris too. He work is incredible. I love the sound of his voice. I love his clothing choices. I love the stories he comes up with for his 'clients'. I agree with you about his social media skills but I wonder if that is something they can help him with. Nobody else stands up to him. However, did you notice how the camera lingered on a beefcake shot of Eli? Maybe that is the one we are supposed to fall in love with.

    my issue with Callie is there is no real growth, she still does stage same stupid self destructive stuff she has been doing since the first episode of the Fosters. 

    I feel the same way about Marianna.

    RE:  Sumi— I’ve seen others asking this, and I don't know either.  Before this episode, I still wasn’t sure that she had.  I thought she was just always there as a friend of Alice, who like never goes home, but this episode, seeing Lindsey in the bathroom as a guest of Sumi, confirms it...so I guess a lot of us missed when that happened.

    I recall one throw away line. Something like Sumi to Alice: here's my first month of rent. Probably not even that clear.

    Is it just me or do Gallo and Grainger look a lot alike ?

    I agree. I was getting them confused. Also their last names are too similar. I think it's the hairline.

    Every episode I find myself a little curious as to how the "blonde" one keeps her eyes open given her ten pound fake eyelashes.

    I need a life.

    Well...I've wondered if they are flammable!

    None of these adults seem to able to honestly communicate with each other. It’s almost as bad as a sitcom. Cruz, dude, you’re a FIREFIGHTER. I think your wife knows your job is dangerous, whether you’re lying to her about it or not. (When Severide needs to provide you with communication advice, rethink your decisions.)

    I didn't like how Cruz threw Capp under the bus in his conversation with Chole. It bad enough that Capp barely gets any lines.

  8. Isn't this episode supposed to be set in the post-COVID future? All salad bars are closed now. My favorite salad bar restaurant, Sweet Tomatoes/Souplantation closed for good because they could not make the transition to a formal menu. Do we really foresee salad bars opening up in the future? I, for one, might be post-COVID as grossed out by them as Shawn.

    Isn't that Rule #1 when a building catches fire?  "In case of fire, do not use elevator, use the stairs."

    I was waiting for a public service announcement at end of the episode, "Hermann and Cruz entered the elevator during a fire for dramatic purposes. Do not try this at home."

    As for Mateo, it was only a matter of time until he and Cheyenne had a big row. While it seemed a bit childish, its actually quite considerate that she did those little games on purpose and to lighten up everybody's day.

    Yes, I have worked in Superstores like this one and those 'stupid games' made all the difference in lifting morale. My favorite was 'Tiara Wednesday'. I still play games with myself when I enter my local Target as a customer. I give an 'award' in my head for the employee with the sharpest outfit- it appears they can wear any pants and top as long as the pants are khaki and the top is red. My favorite look is a red plaid shirt thrown over the entire ensemble. I also give an 'award' for the parent toting the most children. The record is 9 children for two adults and 6 children for one..

    Wasn't that episode "Imposter" where Benson forced a rape charge on the guy by "Deception" and the son of the so-called victim ended up killing himself because of Benson's extreme insistence with the prosecuting?

    You are right! That's our girl for you!

    Hudson University has become this really dark running joke by now, its kind of hilarious. The writers know that Hudson University's student body is entirely filled with evil, hazing loving frat boys, the scholarship girls they rape, pre-med female students who moonlight as escorts, and any number of potential murderers or victims, they know we know it, its just funny at this point

    Not to mention the episode where the mothers have sex with the professors in order to assure their daughters get a spot at Hudson. (I remember commenting after that one that those mothers should consider what they could have done  to assure their daughters do not go to Hudson)

    Totally off topic, but at work, one guy said he didn't like "Salt & Vinegar" potato chips because they taste like "douche". Every guy that heard that, gave him the side eye, while thinking you should have kept that to yourself (TMI). Way to shut down a conversation!

    God, I  miss retail!

    When I worked at Walmart they were locked up because they were a high thief item. Their were lots of high thief items locked up, video games, tools, headphones, even some toys. 

    The 'Superstore' where I worked also had the Bibles locked up.

    I thought it was a well done episode that demonstrated well the frustrations for someone like Garrett. 

    Poor Garrett also has to deal with people's insensitive wheelchair remarks as well.

    Caroline may have chosen Ruth for the interview for perfectly good reasons, but inviting her to dinner at home, and getting drunk together, and suggesting repeatedly that she stay the night, was over the professional line.

    I also thought Caroline was being creepy when she offered to help Ruth after her car was defaced. Caroline appeared to be taking advantage of the situation to try to prove that her interest in Ruth was merely professional by leaving the door open and Caroline's uber-businesslike tone of voice. Also, Caroline micro-managing the situation: arranging a ride home for Ruth; finding a person to restore the car for free; offering Gillian as a peer counselor. Maybe Ruth appreciate that but if my boss did that, I might have felt infantilized.

    Caroline should not have offered to have Ruth spend the night. Ruth should not have abandoned her right before the interview. In other words, I agree that both women have behaved badly.

    I did love Gillian's line to Caroline: 'I'll talk to her, I assume you don't want me to suggest murder?'

  17. Was nobody looking for the car that Harrison stole? 

    Did Ted drown? Did he walk into the water, as in commit suicide? He wasn't wet though, was he? 

    Did Ted just die of natural causes? Would he have died even if Harrison had not left him on the beach?

    I was pleasantly surprised that Harrison returned to pick up Ted.

    Is Harrison going to have to spend his adulthood in therapy to discuss guilt over Ted's death? Does he even have a conscience or would such a thing not bother him? (He did look like he had some remorse.) Does Harrison develop a conscience later in life? Please don't tell me he will some day marry Flora or Calamity?

    Are we to believe that the vision of his wife was a hallucination. Hell, I saw it too? What does that mean about me?

    Those of you watchers from Britain: was a scene cut out that included the birth of the baby? Was a scene cut of regarding the hottie who gave Gillian a cup of tea while she was on the phone? Who was that hottie, do we have a back story on him?

    Shouldn't the baby be named Ted?
