That was but in that world, the kid wasn't dreaming. He was talking tona legit (in the land of fiction) ghost who was there.

Do you mean who was on the bottom? That's a good question. If you mean who was scheduled to leave, no one. Someone let it slip a few days ago that it'd be a 5-person finale, which became obvious once the three-hour finale came out. So production knew that no one was leaving before the opening dance.

I don't think anything nefarious happened. I really liked Olivia a lot but I do think that the show struggled with her character. I also think India de Beaufort's delivery veered towards old-timey slapstick that so few actresses can pull off and didn't fit the tone of the rest of the series. After Malick guest-starred last season, they probably decided to see if she'd be willing to join the cast because she's a comedic pro. Once they signed her, there was no room for Olivia.

Of the three episodes, I thought this was the best one. I too am a little disappointed they went the predictable route with the fake chaplain being antagonistic to Matt. The horoscope story was fun. Alison Tolman is so good and has such good chemistry with her cast mates.

I'd read some spec that we'd have 5 so the ending didn't surprise me. On one hand, I'm glad four of my favorite teams made it. On the other hand, Danny made it in. I thought his first dance was perhaps his best, most content-filled dance. But the second dance was back to his normal level. It really stood out because one thing I liked so much about tonight is how much content there was in so many of the dances. Danny's second dance was the one exception. I loved that Julianne dumped her frock to dance. I thought it was an odd choice for her but then it all made sense. I think tonight was Ilona's best night. The two dances were so different and she killed both of them. She also cracked me up when Julianne was talking about being single. She was "me tooing" it up in the background. I've always thought Joey was cute but damn he was so hot in his Paso Doble look. Chandler is so good but I find Brandon's choreo kind of boring. I miss the kinds of routines someone like Derek used to do with his ringers.

Is there a rule to dreams that the dreamer is always in it? Isn't the dreamer sometimes just an observer? That'd make Max the camera.

Season 2 was 10 episodes as well. Season 1's 9 episodes was the weird one.

I get it more on Tristan's end as they've known each other for years. Dr. Max? Nope. I don't know that she said she just wanted it to be physical but she's not looking towards choosing. Even if all she wanted is something physical, I'd understand her. She's off to medical school at some point. Having a partner traveling on a cruise ship would be inconvenient at this point. I'm disappointed at the way they ended the throuple. Max wanting to be a one-woman man is kind of silly because Avery wasn't asking him to have two women. She wanted to add another man. And then Tristan wanting to go conventional as well was a bit boring even though his delivery got me. I hope things change in the future. I get having some extra on hand just in case someone forgot or runs out, but you'd have to think most of these guys have their own prescriptions. But speaking of sex-crazed maniacs, I did notice that none of the gay couples showcased were monogamous. The captain's brother had two partners--and I really thought he didn't look happy and that would be the twist at the end of the episode. Then the gay influencers participated in a foursome. I get ethical non-monogamy is a thing and gay men tend to be a little more open about it than straight couples, but I didn't love that they highlighted it in the same episode where the straights decided to go traditional and not continue their alternative arrangement.

The Singhs movie got a bit too mean-spirited for me, which is a shame. I did like the leads, though and watched the whole thing. I find that I have a surprising antipathy to a specific trope or setup--and that's the 'single pregnant woman relying on strangers in a diner during a flashback' trope. It, or something similar, happens more than it should. It's like nails on a chalkboard for me and I peaced out of that movie even though I like the two leads. I might try again later, but I also doubt it.

The most frustrating part about this is that I think some on the jury believed Ashley was abused but caved when the judge was like 'try harder.' I don't know if she felt she was in imminent danger, but I do think she felt no one would protect her. She was a 25-year-old who met and married a 55-year-old man in fewer than 2 weeks. I didn't need to hear any more before I knew this would be bad for her. Then there's the shooting the wall and him admitting to hitting the dog....you just know that's the most basic thing he'd admit to. Usually, the things abusers do are worse. And the fact that she looked erratic was probably part of the abuse as well. He may not have killed his late wife but it's very possible he told Ashley he did to scare her AND make her look crazy if she were to ever start sharing her story. I get that I'm projecting a lot but I don't think the tragedy here is that he's dead.

It was the first real new episode in a while. The past few months have been filled with rehash shows and repeats.

The poker game is bros, bis and butch if I remember correctly. The blond guy is bi. The woman is the butch lesbian I assume. I forgot to record this so I'll have to check it out on hulu and be disappointed they ended the throuple before it began.

The mayor just didn't ask Baxter to reconsider because he wanted to protect the judge. He asked to protect her trial outcomes. Now I'd personally find it hard to believe an opioid addiction would put those in jeopardy but that's why he backed down. They were only going for first degree because Baxter wanted it. It's interesting getting different perspectives because I kind of hated the episode. I thought it was full of unnecessary twists like the judge's addiction.

Jack Davenport was a nice surprise too. I really like that they bring back previous guest stars, like Laura Benanti's designer, in fun new ways. Trying to remember where they first appeared keeps me on my toes.

I was over its use with Modern Family. Although with this, at least I didn't notice my least favorite mockumentary trope of using the talking head moment to contradicting what they previously said or did on camera. I find it lazy and not a joke. Allison Tolman and David Allen Grier are the standouts for me so far. I'll keep watching and hope it finds its groove. Superstore took a bit to click for me.
