I was looking down when the shows ending montage started but did they skip iZombie and Elementary? I would say I get skipping iZombie because it's on the CW but they included stupid Jane the Virgin. Elementary was on for 7 seasons. That's a slap in the face!
agreed re ‘elementary.’ others that should have been included: ‘crazy ex-girlfriend’ and ‘you’re the worst.’
and while you thought ‘jane the virgin’ ‘stupid,’ some of us adored it and were delighted at its inclusion.

Stephen looked a little...disappointed.
as well he should. ‘last week tonight’ is great, but they have the luxury of time. ‘the late show’ does it every day, often shooting at at a moving target.

Shallow moment: Jimmy Smits still looks really good.
yes, he does. but his glasses were weird, thought bradley whitford rocked his, though.

okay, that shade the announcer just threw at felicity huffman was just plain gratuitous. and yes, cruel.

So he has a history of playing characters named "Leonard".

posting this here because there’s not a ‘cast in other roles’ topic. found a bbc miniseries, ‘life in squares’ on amazon prime in which al weaver plays virginia woolf’s husband, leonard, and james norton plays duncan grant, the gay lover of virginia’s sister, vanessa bell.

a couple of final observations:
was so pleased to see the writers acknowlede that while telenovelas and daytime soaps share many characteristics, telenovelas end with a hapily-ever-after, and soaps continue day-after-day, for decades.
two things from earlier seasons have stayed with me: i think it was the first season when rogelio gave jane a car. at that point, he was so over-the-top that an escalade, or some other crazy expensive car would have been the obvious choice. but, the fact that it was a mini cooper, and that he had noticed how much time she spent waiting for the bus, revealed a great deal about his character.
the revelation that alba had encouraged xo to have an abortion, revealed an unexpected, and for me, most welcome, aspect of her character.
that’s all. really going to miss these characters

Am I a cynic, or is this a little to sickly-sweet or try-to-hardy?
it’s not as though the two are mutually exclusive...
but yes, this is wayyy too sickly-sweet and try-to-hardy. and not to read too much into the #s, but for the record, eight of the twelve comments are peter talking about her.
just saying...

not sure where to post this, but i have an ota antenna and catch up on roku or the nbc app on my pad. for some reason this episode (aired 5/16) has not been unlocked (although the next one is). the same is true for the final 2 superstore episodes that aired on the same day.
is anyone else having this problem?

Although I enjoyed Sheldon’s speech, it seemed so out of character (as well as inappropriate for the Nobel ceremony) - not to mention, SMG being there seemed so off the wall - that I wondered if he was about to wake up back on the couch, still waiting for the phone call.
now that would have been a perfect ending! for so very many reasons.

have to confess i teared up at the end.
i did have one quibble: historically, a noble is awarded years, if not decades, after the discovery has been published. so did i have to hand wave the conceit that amy and sheldon, however significant their very recent discovery, would have been waiting by the phone expecting to win.
would have love to have seen how that scenario would have played out as a finale, starting with sheldon’s deluded expectation, then disappointment.

I was saying the same thing about the age and was surprised to see a decent noble of Noble prize winners in the Science fields in their 30’s and 40’s. The winner of the Physics Noble in 2010 was 36. So it is more feasible then I had thought.
you’re more industrious than me; i only went back 5 years:) but doubt scientists who won relatively early in the careers did so barely a years after their discovery was published.
of course, since sheldon is more than self-absorbed enough to expect an immediate win, it would have been nice to see amy, as the voice of reason, point out that his expectation was unrealistic, then be proved wrong when they did win.

just saw this. as kirsten lopez noted. it seems a little broad. but there were a few places that suggested the emotional authenticity we’ve come to expect.

so disappointed to hear this. abc should be hanging their head in shame, given how little they did to promote “speechless.” and yet “modern family,” a show long past its expiration date, get another season that’s sure to be as tedious as the one just past.
shakes head sadly...
eta: also sad is that with only three seasons, there’s little chance for syndication.

my issue with this episode has less to do with the jane/raf/michael triangle and its evolving, inevitable resolution — jane and raf have always been the endgame — than with its singular focus on jane and michael. for me, the power of this show has always been how the multi-generational characters play off of each other. virtually an entire (and largely predictable) episode with just jane and michael bored the living shit out of me.
much as i like jane and raf together, i want to see how things turn out for everyone else. so i’m in ‘til the end.

Viki!
Henry needs to hit the gym. Do I sense a December December Romance for him?
good to see erika slezak back on my screen. and yes, it did seem like they were testing the waters for a relationship for henry, which could (maybe, possibly) let him do something other than pontificate.

was starting to think that the writers had forgotten about darcy, estaban, and baby. happy to see them all in this episode.
