This show is wild I watched the whole first season in 5 days. I definitely need a break before season 2. Not super surprising that Jackie died. And I figured it had to be the elements that would do it since we already had an animal attack recently. Also it's too bad she died since Natasha Lyonne would make a great adult Jackie. They sound so similar. Maybe it was one of those famous New Jersey low-interest loan sharks. It's possible she has no idea what her medication was for. She was a little kid in a car seat when her parents said she needed a doctor, so it is possible that for the last 10+ years her parents have just been saying "take your medicine". As I mentioned in another thread it's not like people were open about mental health in the 90's. Probably even less so in the 80's. As for Lottie's visions. I feel like they are vague Nostradamus kind of vague prediction where people just fill in the blanks. Like you can't get much more vague than "it's coming". So then when the bear showed up or eventually anything showed up she would be right. As for Van I can see how she would buy into that. Maybe from her perspective the protective bone necklace worked. I mean she was attacked by wolves and didn't die which is pretty amazing. A more negative person might thing that being viciously attacked was a bad thing.

This was a crazy episode, although since it came out years ago most of what could be said about it has already been said. Although one funny/weird thing was that they live in New Jersey, but the loan shark that loaned Jeff the money was a pretty blonde woman, not a large guy in a tracksuit that looks like he is on his way to the Bada Bing.

Is being sworn in a real thing that counts or is it just a formality? Like is there really no president between the time the president dies and the VP holds their hand over the bible? Or is it like the monarch in the UK where when Queen Elizabeth died Charles instantly became king but his coronation was just a ceremonial thing.

So I signed up for the Canadian streamer that has this show since it was a black Friday deal on Prime. And so far it's been awesome. I graduated high school in 1996 so being the same age as the main characters has been pretty cool. Also I live in Ontario and my family all lives in BC, so I have flown over the Rockies a bunch of times, so just thinking how isolated they must have been and far from civilization has been really interesting too. The seance was so good surprisingly freaky. Thinking back to those days no one talked about mental health other than people being "criminally insane". So when Lottie was having a mental health episode I can imagine the girls might just as likely think she was possessed. Also teenagers are the worst, and have done a lot of crappy things so far in this show, but Shauna's daughter taking (what she thought was) her soccer uniform (from the time when she almost died and a bunch of other people did, was super shitty.

So for the last week or two at least once a day when I am on the forums it randomly jumps to what seems like a malware page. It's like a fake virus thing that says my device is infected and I need to press a button to scan. It's not a pop up it's going to a whole new page. Then today something similar happened but it jumped to a porn page. I sent an email to the feedback email address 5 days ago but have received nothing back. Hope you guys can fix this since it is just your site doing it. But I think I might take a break from Prime timer for awhile until you can.

Do we know she was convicted of anything? I could just as easily see that a respected psychiatrist (like Dr. Rush) told a judge that she was too crazy to stand trial so she was just remanded to Arkham. So her being able to use the corruption of Arkham and Gotham in general to eventually get out.
-
Who knows. I mean she presumably still has money somewhere and there is clearly a ton of corruption in that place. And there is no one left like her dad basically making sure she stays there. Hope she gets out of there is another season because she was the best part of the show. And her crazy red burning down the house outfit was awesome. When Sofia met Eve didn't Eve have some comments about her special relationship with Oz and her different looks. Wonder if she had been doing the motherly thing for a long time. I mean his mother's approval and affection is important to him and she has had dementia for awhile I think. And even before that if she knew about her other son's she probably wasn't doing the best job hiding how much she hated Oz. Who's left to notice. We mostly only ever saw Sofia and the doctor in her house and it seems like everyone else who set foot in that house is dead. Yea I don't mind the no Batman. I mean with all the actual crime in Gotham I can see why he might focus on protecting law abiding people, like by stopping assaults, robberies, kidnappings and murders, so that gangsters killing each other might be low priority. Plus this episode happened like the day after that giant sinkhole opened up, so probably not a lot of time for him to respond. And in this world Batman has only been around for like 2 years. He might not yet have built up the underworld contacts to know what is happening with the Falcone and the Moroni families. Plus this Batman is supposed to be more grounded in reality than even the Nolan Batman I think. So going out every night to fight crime probably isn't realistic A couple of other small things I liked. That version of Where Did you sleep Last Night that was used while the house burned was awesome. And I loved the shot of the dirty cop getting the bullet through his eye from the back.

I still think it's hilarious that no one from the valley even heard of this tournament a few seasons ago and now it's the biggest thing in the world. Although I am kind of annoyed that Kreese is no longer a fugitive with just one line. Also I'm calling it now that Cobra Kai and Miyagi will be teaming up to defeat the Iron Dragons.
-
That might have been my favourite episode this season. There were so many funny lines. Like Lazlo's extended story of how his dad would paddle him. Or when he was pissed because he raised Colin Robinson but Colin Robinson didn't remember. The whole thing with them fucking around trying to get the car to work was a good gag too.
-
But the fact that he knew at all, and knew before the VP is surprising. He didn't tell Kate that the president collapsed, he told her that the president was dead. Who would tell him that and why would they?
-
Also Fargo season 2. It was a show absolutely stacked with great actors but she still managed to be really good. As for USS Calister, I have always thought that with just about anyone else in that role it would have been a pretty average Black Mirror episode, but she made it great. Also one small thing since the name sounded familiar, but Summer Gleeson, the reporter first appeared in Batman the Animated Series, and doesn't seem to have been used much in comics since then.
-
Ok that makes sense. For some reason I thought that Carla (Sofia's cousin) was Luca's daughter and that Viti was her husband.
-
Apparently world leaders, people who must know a ton of crazy government secrets, can't handle being told shocking news. When one of them hears it, it sends him into a homicidal rage, and for another one it kills him instantly.
-
Wait so Viti is fucking the bosses wife? But the boss is his wife's father right? So is he fucking his wife's mom? Also I kind of wish that they had made a Sofia show not a Penguin show. She is super interesting and it has been a long time since I have seen anyone on TV make smoking look that cool. One nice thing I like is they are really showing how fucked up and crime ridden Gotham is, so for sure Batman would be way to busy to waste time with the Penguin.
-
But unless all the resuscitation stuff happened on camera how did Hal know that the president was dead before the VPs security detail. Trying to bring him back on camera makes no sense and Billie or someone calling Hal back to tell him what happened before the VP finds out makes no sense either.
-
Those both look really fun. I love that Alexi is like a Winter Soldier fanboy.
-
Seriously this is the last season and there are only 6 episodes left and Gina Torres's final storylines are her serious boyfriend breaking up with her and then her possibly dying of cancer. Can't she go out with a fun storyline? Although Paul's really bad heart problem was magically fixed, so who knows. Also I can't believe in a show called 9-1-1 no one thought to call 9-1-1 when the barn was in fire and it burned to the ground.
-
I loved all the war movies cliches, especially the use of Fortunate Son and Colin Robinson's soldier character development, it was really funny. But Nandor and Guillermo finally talking it out and Nandor pointing out how he was always loyal even all the times Guillermo screwed up was just really good.
-
It was interesting but probably could have been shorter. I did like how quickly Oswald took out Alberto though. But really the best part was Sofia. I honestly don't understand why Cristin Milioti isn't a huge A-list star. When she was on screen I couldn't look away, and now I wish she was the lead in this show. Although I probably shouldn't be surprised since she has been great in everything I have seen her in.
-
Ridiculous is the only way to describe it. Like Hal told him and he just keeled over and with a few minutes they got a doctor to pronounce him dead? Not taking him to a hospital to try and resuscitate him? It's probably a good thing they didn't show it since it would make me laugh.
-
The whole thing about how everyone was happy that they were going to take down the Prime Minister was kind of dumb. Because I have to think if the whole scandal comes out it would probably bring down way more than just the PM. And even if the party in power has a majority government, I can't possibly see them surviving the next election. Even in the end Kate mentioned that if Dennison tried to take down the PM by himself his career would be over. But I have to think that even if he had the support of a bunch of other Cabinet people, his career in Cabinet, or possibly even an MP probably wouldn't last that long. Also poor Hal, having PTSD while that dumb LMFAO song is playing.
-
The whole horse plotline was just stupid from start to finish. The drug smuggling storyline was better although it annoyed me that they could bring down a cartel drug smuggling operation that quickly and easily. The face unlock thing was stupid too.
-
Hasn't Nadja just been murdering people so that Guillermo can climb the ladder? Isn't that why she was so offended when he was talking about his success. And the murdering kind of works in this situation, since is probably a job where a lot of people just burn out. And the financial types they have shown are probably seem super self-centered and probably don't notice or care when someone is gone. Gizmo has those Van Helsing genes which probably help him out there.
-
Yea you can enter an actor or director in the search bar and it will show you what they have. I just wish you could filter your results. Like show me movies with a certain actor that came out in the last 5 years. Yea you could probably do something like that I wonder if it would work with Netflix Canada. Of course one thing it wouldn't have access to is my Netflix ratings. Like sometimes I just want to watch a dumb action movie I have seen and like. If it could show me all of those then I wouldn't end up just watching Terminator 2 or The Dark Knight.

There is The Amazing Race Canada. The prize for that is typically $250,000 two brand new GM cars, a trip around the world and at one point they were also giving away gas for life. When you consider that all of those prizes are tax free it's probably not far off what the winners of the US Amazing Race take home, since the prize there is $1 million. I have read similar stories about people on The Price is Right winning like a shuffle board table or a large pool table when they live in apartments. I think one of the stories I read was by the time they paid for storage and the taxes they barely broke even with the money they made selling it.
