Oh. I'm in Germany at the moment. That probably explains it. Darn.

Did y'all know BBT is now streaming on Netflix? Season 1-8.

Grace was on Maternity leave two seasons ago. She was present before and after otherwise. Alex is not talking about walking out or asking for anything special, he's just saying that he's probably not re-signing his contract and for valid reasons.

Several of the bad guys got shot in front of the kids, although they were all on the ground with their heads down so I'm not sure how much they actually saw. And given that Will Grover apparently grew up with a go-bag under his bed and the idea that the bad guys could come anytime, I'm not sure how much this will phase him. I do appreciate that while Grace seems to keep ending up in danger, only once was it related to being Danny's daughter and it was for something that happened back in NJ, long before he joined Five-0. The camp-out was bad luck, as was this time. She happened to be going to school with a kid who was targeted. And when Grover's family was in danger last season, that wasn't related to Five-0 either. It was from an undercover job 20 years ago. My heart melted a little both when Grover connected with his son first on the phone and then in person once the bad guys were down. And that Steve's first thought after putting the bad guys down was to find Grace, even before looking for Danny.

Okay, I must have conflated cloture requirements with confirmation. Thanks for the info!

No, it's 2/3 majority for SCOTUS. I just checked.

I'm pretty sure John is a naturalized citizen and can't deported. I hope....

I think the title thing varies from person to person. My best friends father was a doctor but I called him Mr, since that was how she introduced us.

Well Sheldon did say he was tracking Amy's cycle and that she was currently fertile. If Amy isn't ready for kids right now then I completely understand forgoing sex when there is a high risk of pregnancy. She and Sheldon are not um, active, on a regular basis and she may not have birth control easily accessible at the moment. I figured out why Raj's story bothers me. He's in a position of power over Isabela and won't take no for an answer. No he's not her directly boss and while we viewers know he's not going to lodge a complaint if she refuses him, Isabela doesn't know that. She said no and he kept persisting. Doing her cleaning wasn't sweet, it was presumptuous. What if he did a poor job? She'll get blamed. And now she can't gracefully decline dinner without looking like a mean person. Raj really put her in a tough spot.

It's important to remember that a SCOTUS appointment requires a 2/3's majority in the Senate and the Republicans don't have it. They'll need a candidate that at some Democrats will vote for as well.

But Elizabeth was still a girl and the Queen Mother still has childbearing years ahead of her. A prince could have usurped Elizabeth in the line-up. A remote chance for sure but a chance none the less. And I don't think anyone expected George to die so soon. I believe they felt Elizabeth would be much older and there would be more time to prepare her. At the very least, her marriage wouldn't be quite so new and her husband would have shouldered more of the burden. A Prince Phillip that has gotten a good 10-15 years more out of his naval career might have been much more a support in those early years than the resentful Prince Phillip we're seeing.

I'm finding it hilarious that Claire Foy (The Queen) and Edward Stoppard (photographer Tony Jones) will once again be playing in-laws. They previously did so on the revival of Upstairs Downstairs.

Not sure if this is the right thread or not but Conviction has been cancelled by ABC. Which reignited my hope that we get Peggy back.

I'm making assumptions, mostly based on how voice has been slurring. It can be a sign of a brain tumor.

The older Anne and Charles.

The original concept was to make the current Steve the grandson of the first Steve. But that was changed before filming started to be just a straight reboot instead. Our Steve is named for his grandfather, who died at Pearl Harbor and is not connected to the Jack Lord character.

I have very little sympathy for Margaret here. If she is truly in love with Peter, then two years is not that long to wait. Elizabeth did have to wait a similar amount of time before she married Philip. And given that Margaret was raised as a member of the royal family and lived through the abdication crisis she should certainly understand the delicate hand that will be required for her to marry a divorced man. It really does speak to both her self-centeredness and a certain amount of naivete that she doesn't seem to realize this. It isn't as though Peter was sent into exile. They are able to write to each other and call each other. And if discreet, a few visits could probably be arranged too as well.

I could swear I read rumors somewhere of Prince Phillip being discretely unfaithful but I could be wrong.

Geez! All that speculation about if Granger was ill turned out to be true. Did they say exactly what was wrong? Or just that oblique reference to Agent Orange? Given the MRI and the more noticeable slur in his speech I'm thinking a brain tumor of some sort. I think it's time to call in Nate for Kensi. She needs counseling and given how hard she is going to resist it, someone who knows her and knows when she's glossing over stuff will be much more effective. She also needs it pointed out that taking risks with therapy while she can't feel pain in part of her body is pretty much asking to injure herself further. That was a bad cut from falling and she didn't even know she'd done it. As much as I wish otherwise, I don't think Deeks will be the one to get through to her about focusing on recovery and moving forward. He's too close to the situation. Ultimately I think that will be received better coming from Sam or Callen. There is something to be said for emotional distance and right now I think that Deeks and Kensi aren't communicating well. It's not anyone's fault but Deek's determination to be cheerful and assume that Kensi will recover fully is very much at odds with Kensi's current and very-much-more pessimistic view. I think bits of conflict will continue to flare between them until emotions settle a bit and each can both hear *and accept* what the other is saying. It's rather ingenious really, the way that DR's maternity leave coverage has been written to reduce ECO's need to be on set as well. Since about half his scenes were shot in advance I would assume he's able to reduce his work time given he's also got a new daughter at home. And to tie it all together, if ECO is not doing a lot of the chasing/shoot out/what have you scenes at the moment, then his stunt-double (also known as Dani's husband) gets more time off as well for the other new baby. Nicely done show. Also nice to see some of Sam's SEAL training in action. I do like seeing skills in use, not just mentioned in passing. Loved Granger snarking about Callen's psych history making him perfect for the undercover op. And my heart melted just a little when Granger immediately dismissed Deeks doing the op, because he had personal obligations to fulfill. And it made sense. They have no idea how long it might potentially last and he'll be stuck there the whole time. Let Mr. Lone Wolf go instead.

After having watched the show again, I'm really struck by all of the little things that point out how much Sheldon has changed over the years. For example he easily kisses Amy when they are going to bed, he's no longer wedded to his particular dinner schedule, he allowed the group to shut him down about his old bedroom and he actually said Thank you without being prompted to the guys for being his house band on Fun With Flags.

The actress was not fired, she elected to leave the show. And I'm not sure what you mean by McGarrett screwing things up between. He was never anything but supportive of her career choices, he begged her not to run off in Afghanistan and when she came back for Kono's wedding he welcomed he with open arms, ready to pop the question. He never tried to make her choose, in fact he didn't even know she was leaving because of the CIA. He did quite rightfully say he wasn't going to wait and why should he? Cath doesn't get to go in and out of his life on a whim and Steve's allow to say he wants more than that. Even now when she showed back up on his doorstep it was awkward but he wasn't mean or rejecting of her. While I wouldn't be surprised to find out Yao and Doris had a relationship, Wo Fat is not their son. Steve suspected as such at least 2 seasons ago and had Max check the DNA. There was no genetic connections between the two of the, which means Wo Fat is not related to Doris.

Weed is used for pain management. Probably any doctor could prescribe.

I really liked this episode. Sheldon is just growing by leaps and bounds. I think he's finally realizing that it's okay to loosen up a bit, when you find the person worth loosening up for. I don't think he'd do this for anyone but Amy. And I love how Amy makes adjustments for him but keeps some boundaries as well, something Leonard very rarely achieved. I love how Sheldon and Leonard switched to Klingon to talk in front of the girls.

I think it's because accents are hard to hold, no matter how good you are at them. Once his identity was revealed there was no need to hold the accent. And I was already suspicious before he dropped it since he was using words like spanner and flat instead of wrench and apartment.

I don't think they'll draw out Kensi being hurt any long than they have to. I wasn't surprised by that scene, in fact I was sort of expecting it. I don't think Kensi had really been told the extent of her injuries when she first work up. This is probably the first time she's ever been injured like this and until that point had probably been expecting the doctor to say she'd be down a month or two, then back a 100% and her life goes on. 4-6 months of rehab with no guarantees is a blow and something she's still processing. It is going to take time to for her to come to terms with her new life and the uncertainty of not knowing what is going to happen. She may very well be looking at the end of her career and completely change of lifestyle. And that is not something she can handle right now. I love how Deeks is being so supportive but now he's going to have to figure out a different kind of supportive. Until now, the focus has been on Kensi waking up. I don't think he's had time to really think about what comes next and since she woke up, he's of course going to be optimistic because it's such an improvement from where she was a couple of days ago. I think Kensi probably would have reacted better if he's said he wasn't sure what was going to happen but that for now, to focus on the physical therapy. I think it was the 'you'll be fine, even better than before' that really got to her because he doesn't know that and it at least appears he's somewhat in denial about potential permanent impairment.
