Didn’t one of the voiceovers in the first or second episodes actually say he’s a Cockney? I haven’t been bothered by his accent at all because I just thought that’s what it is.

My northwestern American ears laughed at Christiaan thinking his pronunciation of “pecan” was cheeky. That’s exactly my normal, unironic pronunciation. “puhKAHN.” 😂 I adored Nelly’s look! I felt so sorry for Andy. He just didn’t have a good couple of days. I’m sorry to see him go, but I’m sorry to see any of this group go. Also, with all of the attention the bakers usually show to Paul, I am loving Dylan’s open respect and admiration for Prue.

I really like this group. The lavender/rosemary bit with Alison and Mike made me laugh, Nelly’s entire (on-screen) personality makes me wish we were besties, Dylan’s humility, Andy’s quips…so far this season feels like it has everything that makes this show my favorite comfort watch. I kind of thought Dylan would get Star Baker but I wouldn’t have cried if it had been Nelly. She had a great week too.

Lamb eats Park trolls for breakfast. Compared to his merciless roasting of the Slow Horses, Webb was less Spider and more Dust Mite. I didn’t miss him this season at all.

Well, that was…definitely a season that happened. I liked that final scene between River and Lamb, but even while I’m thinking back on it I’m also thinking that this whole season feels like a waste of a perfectly good Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas. So this whole season happened because the Big Bad is River’s long-lost bio dad and he wanted River to join the family business? Or something? The Empire Strikes Back did it much better. I fast-forwarded the Showdown at Slough House. I was just so tired of Patrice and his Poor Man’s T-1000 act. Honestly, I wish it had been Shirley rather than Marcus… Also: y’all, I am dying right now. I really, really hated Frank Harkness and how he was so wooden, he reminded me of Hugo Weaving. I’m not a fan of Hugo Weaving at all. I pulled up Slow Horses on imdb just now to get the name of the actor who played him so I could snark on the Hugo Weaving Acting School…only to find that Frank Harkness was actually played by Hugo Freaking Weaving. So yeah, I might need to stop crocheting while I watch tv.

Andy’s crack about being in a murder mystery after Dylan fell over, followed by someone throwing in a “with a rolling pin in the tent” made me have to pause and rewind, I was laughing so hard. I like this group!

I like this show but I’m having a little trouble staying interested in this season. The baddies just seem so…cartoonishly violent. Like, “we’re baddies, we kill people, that’s what we do” seems to be the whole storyline. I’m fast-forwarding a lot because: yawn. I hope the next episode gives us a point because this episode was just more of the same.

I got the subliminal images!

I haven’t seen a single episode this season because I finally exceeded my capacity to tolerate the complete nonsense that this show has become, but…wait. The Glenn Miller? The one who was playing in his high school band in Colorado in 1920? That Glenn Miller? This show is killing me by proxy.

It’s fitting that the very first episode (and duet) I saw of SYTYCD was Season 2’s Alexandra and Jason dancing to “Unwritten” (choreographed by Tyce Diorio). Natasha Bedingfield saw me in; chances are she just saw me out.

Thank you for this! I like it!

Tom, to Kristen: “What would you have done differently [in Restaurant Wars]?” Kristen: “Chosen maybe a different team.” I love her! 😂😂😂😂

So did I.

I’ve tapped out of WCtH because of Elizabeth dumping Lucas, but I still read the comments here on the far, far, far remote chance that the show will improve. So much has gone on in the world at the time the show is set and the writers didn’t need to just keep focusing on love interests. Heck, even Anne Shirley and her family went through WWI in the books. I agree with you re Miss Scarlet too.

My “good grief” wasn’t because I disagreed but because we were making these early 90’s references and being senior citizens and then you came in with your “I see your appropriate dancer references and raise you an I-grew-up-watching-AMC-when-it-was-all-silver-screen-movies and Jojo’s mugging is exactly like Andy Freaking Hardy” and now I can’t unsee it.
