The bean counters probably wisely decided it would cost more to fix that error than let it go. They know there’s no real evidence for much of an audience for this show. Actually, if TPTB had a sense of humor (which they don’t because they are making serious art, don’t you know) they’d discreetly hide people from the past in various scenes. Have Nick standing behind some book cases, have Ofelia wedged between some Walkers. And to spread the humor, have Rick and Michonne tucked into some scenes. The only thing this show is good for nowadays is some rip-snorting laughter.

I spent half of my time (or more) trying to remember who this particular character is in any given episode and why I should care. With each character, I seem to keep coming to the same conclusion: I don’t care. (But I do like Dwight and Sherry. I just don’t get what they’re up to.)

The problem with this show (and the mother ship) is that NO ONE knows who to write characters. They are either good or so over the top it isn’t funny (hello, Governor!) I mean the writers create the impression of good characters. Look at the John Dories. Could have made for interesting, long-running characters. But what were they asked to do to further the script after their initial appearance? Not much. The actors probably got bored standing around for weeks with nothing to do, then having 2-3 days of lame-ass line reading to do. So, the actors moved on. I’m surprised Morgan didn’t leave. But now that Kim is coming back, maybe he will.

The writing on this show (and the mothership) is like watching the slowest chess game in the world. It’s all about positioning everyone just right for the big finale only for us to see the words: Next Season On Fear The Walking Dead. Why resolve something now if it can be the “enticing” season-ender and get people to come back next year?

This is the first episode I’ve been able to make it through. Part of it are the two people from Fish and Wildlife. Too bad they can’t become regulars?!? One of the things that I don’t like about this show is the way Tenant is portrayed. (Not necessary in this episode. I get being worried about her kid.) To me, she acts like a “sad-sack” most of the time.

My bigger issue (complaint) as I’ve said all along is I wish there was a map that showed me where all the key points are. Sometimes people make these walks as if it’s nothing, but sometimes it’s like a chore.

I nearly feel off the couch the first time I heard Sheldon speak in the episode. I knew he was getting bigger and his voice was changing, but last night I almost thought they’d gotten Christian Bale to speak in his “I’m Batman” voice. ” Maybe I’ll get used to it. I guess I have no choice. what’s going on with Paige seems important , but I don’t see how it can have any relevance to the TBBT plot. is it just me who finds Missy to be the true star of this show?

The numbers don’t work for the reasons said above, but the biggest issue is what about the care or, in this case, lack of care? While nearly everyone is making jokes, there’s the poor Ben Vereen character facing an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. I’m sorry, I don’t find that funny. I’m willing to bet most of the audience has has some experience with nursing homes re: loved ones. It’s no laughing matter.

I don’t want to get too deep (this is a situation comedy, after all) but there’s something depressing that hangs over this show. I mean, we’ve already seen one person die, and the other have their share of ailments. I’m struggling to find the humor in it. Plus, most of the characters have serious flaws and are annoying. What’s her name’s sister who showed up last night — another downer. Look, I get the whole alone thing when a spouse dies. But it’s not working here.

And yet another slightly different opening sequence. (That’s all I got.)

They changed the opening credits, yet again. That’s pretty much the only thing I can say. Oh, and this: Do they not have any grownups in charge at the “home”?

Yet another episode where it seems the only point is to make the Reagens look like overbearing fools. Not that the Reagan’s are wrong, god forbid … just overbearing. Do the writers not like the Reagens? Do the viewers? Do the Reagans?

If Magnum and Higgins are supposed to be such good pals and partners, how come he didn’t know she’d gotten some help from MI6 about the whole citizenship issue. I remember how big a problem that was when it first came up (understandably), but now no fuss, no muss. Was there even a point to that plot twist?

What is it with Selleck? Can he not walk? (Not to be an ass, just curious.)

I kind of missed this: at the end, did Owen do out to find his dog, or the man he had helped? Or both?
