That’s what I thought too. I highly doubt the girls are wearing usable gear. It’s probably worn out stuff that can’t go into actual fires but it still useful for training scenarios. I’m guessing the program doesn’t cost that much money, but there must be insurance costs and probably a certain amount of advertising and administrative work as well. And some of the supplies are consumables, for example I remember they were doing a drill that involved breaking through drywall. Which meant some drywall got destroyed in the process. Things like that. Probably not a lot in the grand scheme of things but for a department trying to streamline I’m sure they’ll cut wherever they can.

She appeared with Jim in Hidden Figures as well.

It’s 1993. Email isn’t a thing.

Boy, they’re really moving Mandy and Georgie towards their own series. Neither one of them interacted with the Coopers at all in this episode. I really that they played to George’s strength in dealing with recruiters. He’s right, he’s not a big academic guy, but he knows how to deal with someone comes sniffing around for blue chip talent. And I was really glad to see that Mary was fine about her baby boy going off somewhere. No hand wringing this time! She seems to be really OK with Sheldon moving states away. Although being distracted by having a grandbaby around, might have something to do with it.

TVLine has some scoop and speculation. Fifth entry at the link.

He probably got busted doing something that even IAB in Texas couldn’t ignore and decided to throw Connie under the bus to get himself out of hot water.

As excited as I am for the Artemis program and the return to the moon, I’m dreading the inevitable disaster that will occur. The only reason NASA hasn’t had another one by now is because they stopped flying the shuttles. If you look back over the timing from Apollo One to Challenger to Columbia, they’re all approximately 15 to 20 years apart. NASA is overdue and I sincerely hope that all of these culture changes that get thrown around every time something happens actually occurred this time.

I’ve got Hulu with the live option and it’s there for me.

Well, it took a couple of years but there is one now. CNN just did a series on Columbia. You should be able to find it on Hulu.

Not sure if this is the right thread and I apologize if it’s not. Has anyone else been a little weirded out by finding The Handmaid‘s Tale on their Disney+ account, because of the Hulu merger? Between this and American Horror Story Disney suddenly doesn’t quite feel so much like Disney anymore.

I think Georgie genuinely loves Mandy and he loves his daughter and he is committed to building a family together. Notice in the car, he was the one wanting to discuss future plans. Will they have additional children? Is it time to start looking for their own place? I think Mandy married Georgie to spite her mother. And I think that the only reason she went through with the pregnancy after finding out Georgie‘s age was that she heard her clock ticking in the background along with the fact that she was apparently raised Catholic in Texas. Georgie is headed for some serious heartbreak.

I find it interesting that an animated show was strike shortened on the back end, unlike the live actions which lost time at the season start.

I doubt it. Theo is the only candidate for the father if she is and they’ve already had an unplanned pregnancy that she chose to end. If she didn’t wanna have a baby with Theo when they were dating, I can’t imagine she’d want to have one now that they’ve broke it up.

Most of this episode was a hot mess, excluding the moon landing. The scene of the crowd outside the Nontatus House was just amazing. Not just Sister Monica Joan, but all of the other older actors as well like Fred and Violet. Because all of them were alive when it really happened. I can’t imagine what kind of memories must’ve been running through their heads as they tapped back into those emotions from 1969.

For me, Buck being rather fluid goes back to that crossover with Lonestar, when TK thought that Buck was flirting with him. However, I’ve never read Eddie as anything but completely straight.

The waffles thing was a nice little bit of continuity. Harry did the same thing back in season two when he was in trouble for setting the neighbors lawn on fire.

I loved the adult Sheldon voiceover “I have a hot wife and Nobel prize, I turned out fine.“ I especially appreciate that he considers Amy hot, and that she comes ahead of that Nobel prize.

My theory is that Taylor's leave last season was health related and he's not 100% yet. Might explain why he's seemed so 'off' this season.

I know May had mental health issues in the first season but since then she's been a pretty easy kid to parent. Smart, responsible, driven and hard working. While Athena certainly had the 'send my kid into the world, can't protect them' worries, she was not dealing with a kid that was causing trouble or making bad decisions. Harry is going to be a whole new ballgame for Athena once the 'thank goodness I'm not going to jail' wears off him. Just having him back full time is going to be an adjustment since he's been with Michael in Miami for at least a year. Athena and Bobby seem to have settled into 'empty nest' that now isn't so empty.

It’s on brand for her though.

That was unexpected.

We’ve seen more of Trudy this season on Fire than we have of her on her actual show, PD. I felt so bad for James. The poor kid is trying so hard to keep it together, and my heart just broke for him in that last scene. Seeing all the damage that was done to his house by people he trusted. Just awful.

I was disappointed not just in Torres, but also really disappointed in Kim for not reporting him. That’s a serious ethical breach.

That’s actually pretty realistic. Hurricanes tend to suck in smaller weather patterns around them so when they clear, you’re actually left with pretty nice weather. Signed, a Floridian who’s lived through way too many of them.

It can’t happen because this is network television but I really really wanted to hear a loud ‘what the f***!?’ from Bobby when he finally got that hatch open and found Buck and Eddie on the other side.
