I can forgive Eddie for telling Kelley about what happened at the bar, because he was clearly drunk. I, however, cannot forgive him for smoking at the bar because that dropped his attractiveness level for me about 5 notches down. I actually said out loud "NO!" and scared my dogs. Ceruleana, I think they were Kiwis.

Amber's sweater during the discussion of how inconclusive tests absolutely mean THE CANCER is back...why?! Why would such a monstrosity even be made, let alone be chose to be worn in front of a camera.

Clara said something in this episode along the lines of not wanting the TARDIS to tell her about her death. There was something like this in one of the earlier episodes this season too. Which makes me wonder if she's not going to be the mother of the Pink time traveling family but will die somehow.

Moffat cheat? You mean, like killing off your main character on camera and then bragging about how clever you will be in having him not have died at all, but then never really explaining it and also talking about how silly it is to expect an explanation (coughSHERLOCKcough)? Never! My favorite episodes are always the creepy ones, so I was really digging this one until we got the usual hand wave in the last 10 minutes and the whole thing was pointless. And agree that I don't understand why he suddenly fixated on the idea that there must be a perfectly hidden creature. Came out of nowhere for me.

I just can't decide how I feel about Jackie. On the one hand, I get (or assume) that she's somewhat joking when she talks about how hot she is and more power to her if she isn't joking at all. But then she's just delusional with the alcohol launch and so nouveau tacky with "what's your most expensive French champagne? That's what we want!" Andrea, on the other hand, I just can't stand. Sure, you know more than this publisher. Focus group be damned! And, was the little clip meant to tell us that Gina called Lydia a c--- but not Andrea? And she only said that about Lydia for fanning the flames of the argument with Jackie?

The only thing that makes sense to me was that he was trying not to act suspicious. But I was shouting at my tv during that scene - yes, that is a problem! Fuck you! Scared my dogs...Bunchy breaks my heart. Did he not tell her about his abuse because he was embarrassed, or is he restricted from discussing it as part of the settlement he got?

And Brooks' response to Vicki's look was - we have talked about this. Ummm, really? He's so gross. I did appreciate Heather asking whether she'd make him sign a pre-nup or similar agreement.

I loved Gia's reaction to Amber's phone call. Between that and her reaction to Milania eating a raw onion, once again Gia is the smartest Guidice.

Her calm reaction in the face of that dinner nonsense has cemented her in the Housewives stratosphere for me. "Well don't look darling." WINNER!

She looks so cute with her hair down or pulled all the way back, but so not good with that faux mullet look. It took me a while to realize it was the same person! Let that look go Chyka!

I thought it was more wrapped up in a sleeping bag chic. Agree with the comments about Korina's black dress not showcasing the black necklace. I also have a pet peeve when people match clothes to jewelry really literally - so the blue dresses for sapphires, red dresses for rubies thing was making me nuts. Nina said something about Korina's look - like it was really ethnic or something like that - that made me want to punch her in the face even harder than usual. Duh, you think Nina? You think a Santa Fe print evokes something ethnic?

From Tamra's texts to her daughter: I know I'm not the only one who remembers Tamra being bratty about her parents getting divorced. How her father had DESERTED HER and her mother. How it made her INCAPABLE of trusting men!! Oh yeah, and how she was in her mid-20's when said divorced happened....but her 15 year old daughter should just suck it up. Mother of the year right there.

Tamra is a such a master at deflection! Every time she would get called on something she'd immediately say everyone did that or Lizzie did something worse or I've forgiven Vicki so many times. At least she got redirected a bit this time.

Sure, Tamra. Lizzie is obsessed with you. And jealous of you. That's why you're the one that made a demented ferret face every time you looked at her the entire reunion.

I mean, honestly woohoo future Andale's owner. It's not that effing hard. She and Tamra act like they do them all the time but can't remember the order. It seems like we have another version of why Tamra didn't show up for the birthday party - only her trailer park mom could be trusted with her sick child. Ok. So it was after this that she started spilling about production being at fault, right?

All of the EXTREME FACIAL CLOSEUPS in the episode were really weird to me. It kept taking me out of the story if was freaking me out so much.

Yes! I already loved Eddie but now I love him even more!!

And the announcer said something like, "in addition to writing for Sherlock Mr. Moffatt has also written numerous episodes of Dr. Who." And I laughed and laughed, as he made a vaguely cringey face. Yep, only written episodes he has. If only.

THIS! I am not a violent person, but I wish someone would have slapped that smirk off her face. Vicki and Lizzie have some unfortunate dresses on.

Tamra does look really bad. I think her face has stuck in permanent bitch face, just as our mothers warned us might happen when we made faces as kids.

Ditto! When Sookie was driving all over Bon Temps getting on advice whether or not to lose her fairy-ness, she couldn't have gone to ask Lafayette? Because I bet that conversation would have been gold. Ring ring hooker!

My favorite stupid Amber line was - cancer is near and dear to my heart. Near, ok I get it. DEAR? Like, you LOVE cancer it's the greatest thing ever? Shut up.

I think you mean, the LATEST THE companion of all-times. I have only watched New Who but understand that it wasn't always like this - each companion is so fabulous that they've actually saved humanity by themselves. I was starting to exclude Martha, but no she did that too. Not sure how they plan to keep having the current one top the last.And honestly, if we have to suffer through various Moffatt hand wave never-minds about things, can't we have Donna back? Donna and Capaldi would rock.

I love Capaldi in general - I find his face so interesting to watch. Ok, that sounded weird. I also love that they are letting him be Scottish, but it makes me bitter that they didn't let Tennant do that. I convinced a friend to start watching last week, and there was a line from one of the early Tennant episodes that he used again practically word for word on Sherlock - how boring it must be in your funny little brains. Sigh.ETA: What was with Vastra flirting with Clara? Was she always skeevy like that and I forgot?

Oh, the giggle. How I hate it. It makes my skin crawl. Logically I feel bad for reacting like this to it, because I have a very distinctive laugh myself (but people at least SAY they like mine), but I just can't get over it. Maybe because it always follows some douchey remark?
