My Steelers are the worst 8-2 team in the NFL. Then again, I’d rather be lucky than good.

Voit is a terrible, boring, dull villain who brings nothing to the show and should just die and be gone.

A blurb came across for me that Neil Dudgeon verified he has no plans to leave the show. So hopefully we have many more seasons to come.

Oh, I wasn't clear. I think it should absolutely be the non-BAU spouses who cheat. The BAU members always put their jobs over family. Will could cheat with another cop maybe? I wouldn't want the BAU members cheating on spouses with each other. Yuck.

I thought an affair/divorce story would have been perfect for the Hotchners. She was alone all the time. Beth meets a nice single dad at a soccer game. Aaron realizes what the BAU is costing him but is torn by the responsibility he feels to find serial killers, enter therapy and so on. They could do that with JJ and Will. If JJ were still the liaison, they could fight over how she can present a calm, support front to others, but she's taking her stress out on him at home. He isn't sure this life is good for him or the boys. And so on. It could be a slow drip throughout a season.

Why would she? They were both established in their respective careers. Why would either of them take the other's name?

Regarding the age of the female cast and beauty standards, at this point in her life, JJ needs a new haircut. That limp, middle-part stringy look is just...bad. Cut it shorter with some layers, fluff it up, and give her the "I have kids, I showered and ran my fingers through it" style. Which would work for her. I do feel like JJ would be so much happier if she just got a good shampoo. As to Penelope, there are no words for my visceral, negative reaction to the character. MGG's Reid brought a sweetness and innocence to the show, if that makes sense. No matter how bad it got, there was a hopefulness in him that I don't see from anyone else. I mean, sure, the put him in prison and made him an addict, but MGG's acting made me feel like the character always saw a light at the end of the tunnel.

@Anela I didn't watch many of those shows as well. I was at a point in my life where life was busy, and I was also married, so adjusting my viewing choices to something we both liked. At this point in my life, I'm not sure if I'd want to go back and watch Gilmore Girls, Supernatural or The OC. I don't know if those shows would speak to me now. At the same time, I enjoy a VM rewatch. There's something comforting in a rewatch.

@Anela You're in for a ride.

Harry is played by the same guy who played one of Kristen’s love interests in Brokenwood. I love actor crossover.

I cannot look at Tom Cruise's face because of that tooth right in the center. What the hell is that?

Thank you! That pirouette is not good. Maybe I just see that now that I’ve been exposed to so much more quality dance. I remember loving that routine back in the day. Also, doesn’t everyone periodically fall down the rabbit hole of watching old routines?….

You weren’t lying. I want to go back in time and give that girl a teddy bear and a warm cup of cocoa. Sure, Lilia P.’s 1996 floor had some lovely leaps but also had a lot of weird arm flapping and jerky steps to get to the corner of the mat. And weird posing. Katelyn Ohashi’s 2019 NCAA floor incorporates dance better than Lilia’s. Yeah, I said it.

With sports that are judged subjectively, there is always going to be a push-pull between difficulty and artistry. I enjoy Simone's dancing part of the floor because it's so her. However, Simone's beautiful, incredible, amazing body is not the same as Misty Copeland's beautiful, incredible, amazing body. Even if they did the exact same pirouette, Misty's is going to look more pleasing because of her body type. With gymnastics, the push for more emphasis on "artistry" often means pushing for more balletic moves, and unfortunately, thinner, less visibly muscular bodies.

So...I turned on Peacock's 4 hours of Women's Dinghy coverage. The announcer was terrible. He didn't explain anything. And he was solo, so there was a lot of dead air. Also, Dinghy looks fun.
