  1. That seemed very rushed, and I was glad they didn't eliminate anyone tonight. We've barely got to know anyone as it is. 

    I like Anna. She reminds me somehow of a young Mira Sorvino. I think Essence is the weakest of the girls and pairing her with Thiago just highlights that. I thought for sure they were going to pick the other girl (Flora, I think?). Not at all sure about Virginia and Beau. I thought the jive was underwhelming and the umbrella dance was impressive. Keaton was way better than I expected.

    I definitely don't like having the studio audience making any meaningful decisions because they're such a small sampling and not really representative, but I have to say their bottom 4 wasn't far off the mark.

  2. This show is moving much faster than it used to. We sped through the auditions, now 42 becomes 12 in the blink of an eye and way too much time spent on Briana when she was about to be gone anyway. And why was she the only one to get a "dance for your life" second chance? I don't know how much has been predetermined and how much the choreography round really matters, but I don't see how the judges can watch a stage full of dancers and really "see" any of them properly. How many seconds do they actually watch each dancer? It can't be many. I used to enjoy these preliminary rounds, but they're just going too fast.

  3. I'm almost ashamed to be asking this because I haven't missed an episode of this show, but who the hell is Felix? Is he the guy from season 1 who used a fake name and dated Cassie and then turned out to be the bad guy? Or someone else entirely? Because I didn't recognize either the name or the face.

    I liked the happy ending for everyone, although I don't think Megan deserved one. Sorry, but she belongs in prison.

  4. I like tWitch and Matthew Morrison. Hated the rest of it. Even the 'good' dancers were just OK. Too many backstories and sob stories, too few auditions. Glad the Russian was sent packing. Don't know who the girl judge is but she's as annoying as Mary, just in a different way. I'm guessing she's some fake social media "celebrity" chosen to reel in the teens and tweens, because she kept throwing around dance terms, presumably to legitimize herself. She needs to dial back the volume.

  5. In just one episode, this show completely changed the way I see Cassie.  From annoying yet likeable train wreck to contemptible drunk-driving loser with absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. What's the point of the show when you despise the main character?

    Was Claire put in the same jail as the whistling time traveler? Strange that they had that one scene of him and then no other mention.

    I was SO SURE that Claire would hear him whistling near the end of the show! And then.... nothing. It seems stupid to put that one scene in and then completely forget about it for an entire year.

    Also, YAY IAN!  I laughed when that guy put his hand out to "stop" the bullet and of course, it just went right through!

    Finally, that Brianna & Roger scene was just boring. Plus it went on too long. I have no interest in those two.

  7. I am so over Claire. Why does she have to be so weak all the time? The constant self-flagellation over Malva's death, and the hallucinations, and repeatedly dosing herself with the ether. She was in no way responsible for Malva's death, so why all the guilt? That whole last scene was a boring waste of time, with all the crying and whining. 

    Where are Bree and Roger going? I must have zoned out during all the religion talk and missed the explanation.

  8. I get why it's being written this way, ("plot reasons"), but Claire's reliance on the ether is getting irritating and stupid. She's surrounded by people who either are suspicious and resentful of her or downright hate her, but she deliberately puts herself in a position of helplessness. Also, her nonsensical reaction to Malva's obviously dead body.

    The baby's father could have been her brother, her father, Ian, the guy she was in the church with (Obadiah?), or any other guy on the ridge. I really don't understand why accusations from some newcomer would carry so much weight with people who know and like(d) Jamie. I guess some things never change.

    And why all the angst about Jamie having slept with some woman once, the night before he went to prison? It was 25 years ago! Who cares? Claire had gone back to the future to be with her husband! We already know Jamie married Laoghaire and has a son from another woman. He's been nothing but faithful to Claire when she's been in his world.

  9. This was just too stupid for words. One unbelievable, illogical thing after another, yet it managed to be completely boring. Plus I hated the main character on sight. They should have just cut her throat when all that nonsense with the notes started.

  10. I think this show might have jumped the shark. I don't know how long Ronald is around in the books, but I'm completely bored by his continued existence. It was obvious from the beginning that Wolf should have just killed him when he had the chance.

    instead I saw a lot of people saying it was too confusing because Mbatha-Raw and Jessica Plummer look too alike when they really don't. At all.

    But they do! I was halfway through ep 1 before I realized I had been watching 2 different women in alternating timelines. From then on, pretty much the only way I could tell who was who was by what they were wearing and whether or not they were with Simon. It's pretty obvious that they are meant to look alike and that's why they were chosen by creepy psycho architect.

    Which brings me to the reason I found the show kind of off-putting. That house was not only incredibly ugly, it resembled a concrete prison cell. Everything was hard, bleak, empty, and gray. What kind of person would voluntarily live there, especially since one of the rules was "No Books". NO BOOKS? They're all insane.

  12. This show makes me laugh out loud. Several things that struck me:

    1. I really wanted blonde bird girl to run to ZombieSis for an "Oh, you're alive!" hug and then get her throat torn out. She was beyond annoying.

    2. I really wanted geezer candidate to get all touchy-feely with the zombies "They're someone's FAMILY!" and then get his throat torn out. He was so stupid he made Gun-Totin' Mayor look good.

    3. I didn't want cute MayorHusband to get his throat torn out. At least he was eye candy.

    4. The "closed down" store that just happened to have a nice selection of useful merchandise left on the shelves.

    5. Much as I dislike him, I have to agree with DoctorDad that not everyone can be saved. Has NobleYoungDoctor never heard of triage?

    6. Has NO ONE in this town ever seen a zombie movie? Go for the HEAD, idiots!

  13. I was sadly underwhelmed by this episode.  I actually had a hard time staying awake. The best part was the town council meeting! I really wanted Alma to die, but I can see that it's more horrific having a sociopath like her existing.

  14. Sometimes I just don't get the judges' choices. I didn't care for the last singer at all. The song was awful, forgettable garbage, and the performance was nothing special, and she gets 4 chairs. The one just before her I thought had a really nice voice, and nobody turns. I used to like this show, but now I only watch it when there's absolutely nothing else on, and then only the blinds.

    at one point Isaac moved towards Billy and Billy said "Isaac don't". It was after Billy answered Isaac's question about why he's  still his friend by saying because you're the only one left in this town that makes me feel like I'm worth anything (paraphrasing). What was Billy trying to stop Isaac doing?

    I had the impression that Isaac was about to kiss him.

  16. What exactly was Jeff Daniels doing with the drugs? It looked like he took the pills, ground them up, weighed the powder, separated it into smaller piles, weighed it again, and then flicked some of it away. It didn't make any sense to me.

    This show reminded me a little of Mare of Easttown, except this place (can't remember the name) kind of makes Easttown look upscale.

  17. I couldn't help feeling unsatisfied by they way they ended this show. I wasn't buying Ryan's claims about it being an accident. We saw in other scenes that he's an accomplished liar. He stole a loaded gun and lay in wait for the girl he blamed (instead of his sleazebag father!). That's premeditation. And Lori belongs in jail, instead of flapping her self-righteous yap at Mare for doing her job. I guess in Easttown, you get away with obstruction of justice and accessory to murder if you're an old friend of a cop. And somehow Dylan has miraculously transformed from gun-wielding thug who cheered on the beating of his ex-girlfriend into a benevolent dispenser of cash for D.J.

  18. At what point did this show first mention the term Galanthi? Because all I remember is Amalia saying it once at some point in the last ep, and it making no sense at all, and then all through this episode, it's like we're all supposed to just know wtf the Galanthi is. I watched the 'future' part of this episode seriously debating whether or not to just change the channel and wait for Mare of Easttown to start, mainly because I couldn't make out what they were saying most of the time and there was so much random gibberish being spoken it was frustrating and annoying to watch. I still have no idea whether the Galanthi is good or bad and what it is.

  19. Just saw the good news/bad news about Sanditon. I really enjoyed it, so I'm glad it's coming back, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! No more of the delectable Theo James/Sidney? He's not merely eye candy, he's a 200-pound box of Godiva chocolates. I hope that Young Stringer (can't remember the actor's name) will be coming back, at least.

  20. I think what bugs me most about this show (apart from the unending torture and general bleakness) is that I really don't get why Serena is treated like visiting royalty. She's a CRIMINAL and supposedly a PRISONER, and there she is in her nice outfit and high-heeled shoes, living in a lovely suite, being given an ultrasound picture of her devil spawn. She even gets to summon visitors. I also don't understand why Rita called her "ma'am" and was so ingratiating. I wanted her to kick the bitch repeatedly in the stomach.
