It gives me secondhand embarrassment. I hope its supposed to be funny, not sexy. These characters are perfectly likeable, but if I recall, I was surprised they were even in the show in the second season. Wasn't he the boxing partner of Daphne's husband? They aren't really connected to the other stories. I wish they had never revealed who Lady Whistledown was and just kept her as a mysterious narrator. (I have a feeling someone will be tempted to tell me how this plays out in the books. I literally don't care, so save your energy! 😂)

When my sister came home from school and told me where babies came from I was confused because she left out the part about people needing to take their underwear off. At first I thought it was Benedict and they were going back to his sexcapades. I think part of it is they wanted to show that he isn't sexless, but for me it was just random and he still seems sexless.

I can't remember -- does Penelope's maid know she's Lady Whistledown?

I think they said in This Film is Not Yet Rated that if "fuck" is used once as a verb, it's an automatic R. Of course that movie is way old. Who knows if the MPAA has updated anything.

I remember seeing someone, I think Tina Fey, on a talk show once, and she was saying how the people who censored SNL only let them use X number of actual words for things per episode. So they'd make things up, and it would end up seeming raunchier than if they'd used the real word. I guess the reasoning is if you use a euphemism, there's deniability as to what you're actually talking about?

Given that all the bad guys were at the safe house, I think Ron Perlman would have been better off at home. I can't tell if their missions are just MacGuffins or if they're not about what they think they're about. Because they're all stupid.

I mean, yes, racism, but how do they justify it?

Leonard's mom doesn't even make sense. I don't think all child psychologists are perfect parents, but you'd think she'd know her treatment of him would be detrimental.

I totally agree and I also don't understand why schools don't require you to demonstrate the ability to work with a variety of hair types in order to complete the program.

I love those commercials. I keep telling my husband we need to find somewhere that sells that cheese.

Even when I was a kid it bugged the shit out of me that the same guy sang this song and The Wanderer. The hypocrisy!

I don't really understand why they applied for their jobs not knowing who they were working for. Did they want to be spies so bad they'd just work for anyone?

I feel like the company wants to be able to blackmail rich people.

Well and what if someone else had been the highest bidder? Were they targeting John Turturro specifically or just whoever bought it? Yeah, I saw two more fails also. Like a 3 strikes thing.

I think part of the situation with Rory is that maybe a lot of people in town took Lorelei under their wing and maybe felt like they needed to look out for Rory in a way they didn't need to look out for other kids who weren't raised in a garden shed. They probably were more personally invested in what Rory had going on. (I still agree that it's dumb and weird.)

I watched this episode days ago and one detail is still bugging me: What was the other lady doing with the bomb cake in the first place? Is she from another organization that was going to bomb someone else? Did the Smiths' organization switch out her cake with the bomb? If so, isn't that an unnecessary extra step? And that lady's cake happened to be identical to the one the bombing victims ordered? Am I the only one who cares? I learned the other day that Phoebe Waller-Bridge was originally supposed to be Jane. It would have been completely different. It also sounds like her version of the pilot was also completely different. That may have been good also, but I only watched this because my husband had it on, and I got sucked in by this version.

I've never been less shocked.

I also think that it showcases that Rivers Cuomo isn't a very good singer.

I always interpreted it as It still being early in the day. Which, if you had a lunch date, of course it will still be early when you're done, so why act like that's news?

Do former contestants make a lot of appearances together? Lottie, Chigs, and Anthony seemed so comfortable together that I had to check to see if they were on the same season. (I also thought Chigs and Lottie would make a cute couple.) I also felt a little bad that they weren't really interacting with Manon much, but that might just be because she was taking it more seriously and was probably more focused. I've always thought that Lottie would make a good host. She'd make a good co-host for Noel (I like Alison, too, though.)

It wouldn't have improved the flavor, but I think Josh would have been better off omitting the piping on the sides of his cake if he didn't have time to do a good job. From what I could tell, the frosting was quite good, but those decorations were terrible. I thought that was weird, since there had been no indication that Josh's showstopper might be difficult to carry. It seemed a little patronizing. Earlier on, when they showed him checking in on everyone while they were working on their eclairs, I was thinking that I'd be pretty annoyed if I had to deal with that every bake (if he did that every bake). Dan never really bothered me before this episode. I knew Matty was going to win when he said he was making a lemon cake after his parents said how good the lemon cake he'd made for them was. It felt like foreshadowing.

Are these real people? Who are they? Is this people's faces photoshopped on other people's bodies? There's something weird about this.

This is how I feel about technicals in general. If I as a teacher wrote a test that everyone failed, then it's on me for either testing them without teaching them, or for writing a bad test. But technicals aren't that kind of test. Technicals are more like pre-tests: what do you walk into the classroom/tent already knowing? So if the show wants to see who can demonstrate skill X without practicing, or from memory, I don't think it means there's something "wrong" with a technical if it turns out they have a group of bakers who haven't mastered skill X and don't know how to course correct if something goes wrong. It has simply revealed this group of bakers don't have that skill. A lot of times there are technicals where some people are all "wtf I would never make this from scratch" and others are like "oh I make this a few times a year."

They felt invincible and they *were* invincible. Whether they remembered the deal or not, they were benefitting from it. A lot of people think they'll never get caught but then do. If not for the deal, Roderick might still have a pile of bodies, but it likely wouldn't be as big. The interesting thing to me about Pym fixing everything is that we don't know quite how the deal protects them. Maybe Pym would have been less effectual if not for the deal. Maybe they never would have met Pym if not for the deal.

I agree. I also thought she was going to offer to turn him into another one of whatever she is. I don't really know why Verna was so high and mighty about what bad people the elder Ushers are. She facilitated their being able to carry on with no consequences for decades. It's their doing in that they didn't need to take her deal and likewise didn't need to be despicable, but she also didn't need to make the offer in the first place. She knew what was going to happen if they accepted. Actually, at one point, I thought it was going to turn out that they had made a deal with her to cause a certain number of deaths.
