    I am unclear on why Jack can't still run the clinic.

    Isn't that only done one day a week or something like that?  I doubt they could justify keeping him on salary for that.

    Travis sleeping with his grieving ex in the same house as his mom while he has a boyfriend can only end poorly, like so many of Travis's messy choices. 

    I guess this was the week for Travis to double down on his poor choices.

    I'm also already tired of everyone acting like Gibson is dead just because he can no longer be a firefighter.

    I also don't get why all these men like Schmidt

    There is a lot of Arrested Development's Ann Veal energy going on with Schmidt.  You really do want someone to be like: "Him?"

    Wouldn't it make more sense to have security come get the money than to have a resident walking around the hospital with it?

    I think he did try to take the money to security, but said they were too busy to take it at that moment.  I'd be much more suspicious of a fishing boat that pays someone thousands in cash rather than just giving him a check.

    This show features an all-star ensemble cast but they seem to be playing a character that’s much, much younger than who they are.

    I agree that Kristen Wiig seems to be playing a character that would make more sense as someone in her 20s or 30s, rather than someone closer to Wiig's actual age. 

    They do have a really good cast, though, so there is that.

    I guess they can't afford to pay Katey Sagal for every episode, or maybe she isn't even contracted for every episode, but since Louise is no longer on the road we need some explanation for where she is.

    She's off living with her first husband and family in Chicago under an assumed name.

    I'm tired of watching Janine struggle for a small win. I didn't laugh once.

    It's obviously a little silly that any college would agree to participate in a program with the school district without seeming to have any idea what the program entailed, just because the college was feeling unloved.

    Umm… you can’t leave animals alone overnight at a vet clinic, can you? Now I’m retroactively concerned. 

    I guess it depends on why they are there?  Some probably need to be monitored.

    but I still related a lot to Harris' thing of feeling like she can't really spend time with her friends 'cause they've all got kids.

    How old is Harris supposed to be?  21 or 22?  Realistically, how many of her friends would really have children?

    *The woman playing Ava's sorority sister looked rather familiar to me.

    Ashley from Fresh Prince. 

    I didn't love the episode.  The panel plotline just wasn't that funny.

    but I feel they make Trixie so clueless. I know I'm a hypersensitive type but she can't pick up on her husband's moods at all? She can't see his distress and all she talks about is spending money.

    This.  Matthew kept exhibiting signs of stress, and he even stopped in the middle of driving to their seaside getaway to phone his stockbroker!  I can't believe Trixie is that oblivious.  Even if she isn't certain of the topic, how can she not see that something is very wrong?     

    I also agree about the doctors being rather cold with the parents of the children with eye cancer.  It shouldn't take Sister Veronica to tell the guy that he needs to explain things to the couple in layman's terms.

    Is it still not canceled? I’m so nervous it will be.

    The only thing I've read is the second season will start filming in the summer.

    Now that we have the power to start single episode threads, what’s the downside?

    Very few people post in them (look at how few have posted so far about Season 3 in general) and you run into the same problem where people post things in an episode thread about future episodes, and there's little you can do about it.

    I would start them myself, but that would defeat the purpose (my purpose) of avoiding spoilers.

    I would just presume spoilers will make it into the thread because some will not post until they are done with the season, so post and comment with that in mind.

    Did Emmet and Travis have sex with the door open when his mother was right downstairs? That is all I could think about. I was probably supposed to be worried Travis was cheating on that guy whose name I can't remember and forgot about until I saw them together at the beginning.

    Yeah, Travis has really terrible judgment.  And I also forgot he was seeing his ex-campaign manager.

    I might have also made this complaint last season, but I roll my eyes at the way tv shows sometimes treat orphaned babies as though all it takes to adopt or foster one is to simply be the first to call dibs.

    Do the writers actually think this is GOOD behaviour to have in doctors, anywhere?

    When Blue was saying he wouldn't ignore other patient's DNR/DNI, but did it on Maxine because he didn't want Jules to be sad, that was deeply disturbing.  The same with Adams' whole "I don't apologize or feel regret" attitude.  Neither should be practicing medicine.

    How can you take a gossipy story about a handful of rich women with power and skeletons in their closets, and a brilliant writer who had a biting wit and make a total snooze fest? 

    It felt like there were no stakes.  Sure, Babe, Lee and Slim cut Truman off.  Aside from being disinvited to CZ's fancy Thanksgiving party, Truman's life didn't appear to change much.  We didn't see him being barred from any society functions outside of events hosted by those women, he kept on dining at the La Cote Basque and while his alcoholism and whatever else, became worse, that didn't necessarily seem connected to being shunned.

    I want to know why CZ, of all of them, was the one who let him back in.

    I think someone had mentioned that she (or her pseudonym) was barely mentioned in the Esquire story, so she stayed friends with Capote.

    I don’t understand how the school system doesn’t have a librarian program? Isn’t that a standard thing for schools?

    The school district where I grew up just fired all its librarians as a money saving endeavor and is replacing them with "media center assistants."  (Essentially, low paid staff members who aren't teachers and don't have librarian credentials.)  I think people really don't think of librarians as educators, and when money is tight, it's easier to fire a librarian than a classroom teacher.

    I’ll defend Barbara on one point. It was ridiculous that a teacher couldn’t bring more than three books at once into her classroom for a reading lesson.

    I kind of understood the rule.  If it's a school where they don't have multiple copies of the more popular books, you want to try to make things as available as possible for everyone, and that means putting a limit on how many books can be checked out at once.

    I didn't really understand the school district person acting like the pilot would only be successful if Barbara liked it.  I'm all for giving senior teachers a voice, but it would be kind of ridiculous if one teacher could wreck the program for everyone else.

  18. All I can say is I want whatever potion Kate Harrington drank.  She apparently hadn't aged a day from when we saw her in the late-1970s to when she was bidding in that auction in 2016.  

    Also, kudos to Jack for landing a guy who was easily half his age.     

    The rest was a big shrug.  I don't need to see Truman mooning over Babe's grave, or creating a fantasy for himself where the swans mostly forgive him.  All that tells me is the writers ran out of material, and are ending the series with what is essentially a filler episode.  It's so strange to me the show assembled all this talent and aside from Tom Hollander, gave them so little to do.

    Also liked the end talk between Becky and Darlene, I could relate to it on a few levels. Especially Darlene's comment about feeling like she's on autopilot and blanking on things she used to know. I felt that. 

    I liked the storyline.  It's nice to see Darlene and Becky sniping, followed by having a nice moment, along with finding out Darlene is attending trivia regularly to show the college kids what is up as a brain exercise. 

    Also nice for the show to remember Crystal is still out there, even if her circumstances are sad now.

    Also. Did her mother become a seamstress? 

    I don't think they ever established what happened to her mother.  The last time we saw her, she looked fairly shell shocked and broken.  As far as the movie was concerned, it appeared Rose was content to let her think she was dead.

    I'm thinking about the track record for marriages on this show. Barbara died, Lucille left Cyril, I hope Chummy and Peter are still together.

    Dr. Turner and Shelagh are still going strong.  I think it's been 10 (?) seasons since they got married.  Violet and Fred are still plowing ahead as well.
