I’m engrossed in this show. Its narrative intensity and complex characters are just outstanding. I’m also spinning theories like crazy. David being the Pittfest shooter would tie a neat a bow on the plot, because he appears to be Chekov’s incel. In one way i hope he isn’t but will be involved in some other tragedy, maybe just his own, I.e. suicide. That could make the shooter a rando, maybe? Langdon will show up, right? Offering to work the horrific emergency as atonement and hoping to regain Robbie’s trust?

I’m curious to see if the two cases connect. I assume they will. Yes, I’m giving Christopher Heyerdahl’s archaeologist a lot of side-eye. Likewise Bruce Greenwood’s Tom Spenser. Spenser has been more obviously set up as a bad guy than the Dr. so far. Joe’s psychic visions are scary, and I’m wondering how he will fight the pressure. Will he have to make atonement via a cleansing ceremony (I am not an expert on Diné culture, but have read about such ceremonies in the Hillerman books) or would he confess and face punishment?

I finished the series. I’ll watch a second season because I got enough from it to be worthwhile. I enjoyed Alice Waters so much, especially her admission that she mixes and eats salad with her hands. This felt like it was anti the Meghan philosophy on things, and I don’t necessarily think it was a pointed comment. It was refreshing to see Meghan admit that she is learning. Ok, she can seem a bit precious at times, especially with her somewhat over the top comments about everything being elevated or pretty. The fact that some of these comments are delivered almost under her breath makes me think she was a bit insecure or inexperienced at showing her love for things and wasn’t sure if she should actually comment that way. she really loves those dried flowers, eh? But again, ok, as many people have a garnish they love and try to use on everything. My mom loved loved loved loved very thin stalks of rosemary that she would stick in everything because she loved the aromas. She once sprinkled chopped rosemary on plain butter icebox cookies. Maybe I’ll order some dried flowers. Already have the rosemary plant!

I saw episodes 3 & 4. Loved Roy Choi working with Meghan. Korean fried chicken is the bomb. I laughed when he mentioned Randy’s Donuts. Love their Apple fritters. Delfi is really gorgeous, and what a beautiful place to hike. I have to say, I’d eat that charcuterie platter by myself! Not sharing!

I enjoyed the first two episodes-all I’ve seen so far. It’s fine for what it is and some of her ideas are adaptable in part to lower cost versions. Ultimately, though, she isn’t doing Semi-homemade or budget cooking. As far as her presentation goes, she seemed more relaxed with Mindy Kaling in Episode 2. Anyway, I made the spaghetti from Episode 1 and it was delicious and cheap.

I like LDP's version of Henry but I do wish they had incorporated a bit more of the Henry from the books.

Giving Malachi a little bit of complexity is great. And Vic was good with the girl who stole Granny's check.

So disappointed that they went with Vic's pregnancy storyline. Ugh. And Walt is more of an a**hole than I can stand.

I love the nascent team developing here too. I hope the final episode lets us see Carter, Thompson, and Souza working together to defeat Leviathan. Or at least to beat back the immediate threat.

I'll miss Chief Dooley and am sad that he had to sacrifice himself to save the others. Heroic, though. I agree: the amputation scene certainly hints at the development of the Winter Soldier story-mind control so powerful it convinces a man undergoing severe trauma that he is strolling with his mother. I'm eager to see the conclusion but sad to see the series end.

Agent Carter has become the brightest spot in my (admittedly slim) roster of weekly TV watching. I am on edge about the last two episodes and can't wait to see how this week's interrogation sequence resolves. Will Peggy give them a piece of intel that resonates so much they have to check it out? And will that sway them to give her more credence? Will Dottie interrupt things with her sniper rifle?

I too, want Tim to live! And Rachel. Ii think that there is a good chance that Boyd and Raylan die but am on the fence about Ava dying. I think last season took Art out of the field so he won't die.
