[S03.E08: Part 31]

Ozzy.  What did he bring to the story?  There must have been something but I don't nt see it.

[S03.E08: Episode 8]

Hated this episode and found had so many issues with this season and the third and final season of Broadchurch and I'm beginning to wonder if I have expected too much of my favorite shows and the letdown is all my issue.

What a relief that Gabrielle's son got the letters and came for her. I am shocked that Clair wanted to admit the abuse, her husband is such an asshole trying to cover it up.

That is exactly the opposite of what I think is the true response in real life, so wonder if I should respect the show for taking it in a different path, or if my disappointment is warranted. Up until that point, I thought the Gabrielle storyline was kept true to life, at least as it relates to friends I had in college that came as au pairs and were taught how to report abuse to the organization, so that they could decide if it required a criminal report, because some things are just a matter of culture and not considered abusive and for those, they wanted to create a safe place for a mediation. Taking of a passport was considered a no-no and taught as such. I thought it was clear all season that the abuse was from Claire not self-inflicted, but some comments here made me think that I needed to give some benefit of the doubt to the storyline.

I was dense. It never occurred to me it wasn't self-inflicted.

I have not seen all episodes but I have never seen Dr Now so angry.   Have any of you?

I don't care what anyone says about Dr Now, I.love him.

The Shot Heard 'Round The (TV) World...Take...um, that number is a bit too high.

Still, wow, what a moment. I think it's safe to say that this show is back- and in a big way.

Of course, I have to indulge in one small procedural matter- ahem, Jason Atwood, I told you, kicking and screaming way back in the first half of the season that you had no reason to trust that the Conspiracy wouldn't still hurt your son despite you doing everything they tell you to. I hate to say "I told you so" but...

That said, I'm just glad that the story is finally getting some movement and that there aren't 500 different things clouding the plotlines. Things seem a lot more focused now and I like it.

I appreciate that the President is now taking his job a lot more seriously- he had no reason to allow his wife to know intimate government details. Seems like it's going to create some tension between he and Alex- loved Natascha McElhone's acting in this- as well as the rest of his staff, who are more used to "President Open".

Also- yay to Hannah for finally getting a victory! She worked very hard for that, even if many of her moves were eye-rollers.

Episode Grade: B. Solid. I'd say we're finally back to winning ways.

She shot herself, I think.

Wow.  That is some strong regime they were working for. Thanks.

[S01.E12: The End Of The Beginning]

Help!  I am having a temporary eye issues and the scene was dark so I wasn't sure exactly what happened at Arlington.  Wife shot the VP.  Who shot.the wife?

Do we trust Mike?  I don't think.he's bad but with this show, who knows.

Maybe it's just me, but isn't there something a LITTLE more challenging Steve could do? There must be something between spy and bartender?  Insurance adjuster?  UPS driver?  Meat cutter apprentice?

[The Clothing Thread: What The Heck Are They Wearing?]

Hey Marlena? 1983 called, they want their belt back.

Gotta give credit where it's due.

Jennifer ' s short sleeved light blue dress from several days ago was adorable, age appropriate and professional. Just the thing for helicopter parenting!
