If I recall correctly, they all quailed for a moment when they saw the donuts and said, "Don't eat them," like maybe they were poisoned or bugged or wha. Then when Logan made Ken's son eat the pasta, same deal, checking to see if the food was drugged. You can't help thinking about the Borgias. Like the Trojan Horse showing up and amounting to nothing. All the references to emperors and royalty and titles. They go to Europe when they need to class up the joint, to borrow the gravity of the past, beauty, history, etc. It's all about appearances, positioning, image. It's like they bought the right wristwatches and leased the right locations and learned the behaviors and talk the right talk, but have nothing of substance behind it, just money. Just like Royco/Waystar.

Late to the party, but covid has forced me to watch some older shows I missed the first time around. I have to speak up (haha) for Stella's whispery voice, which many found annoying. I worked for many years in a nontraditional industry where I was the only woman in a sea of men. I learned early on that if I raised my voice at all, I'd be told to calm down. Like I was being hysterical. I had to perfect the ability to keep my voice and face completely blank even in heated discussions. I imagine that Stella had long ago realized if she wanted to succeed, she would have to be very careful about how she came off. She had to be understated. Over time I realized that if someone else had raised their voice, they would sometimes lower their voice if I replied quietly. It was a way to avoid shouting matches, and it sometimes worked. I completely agree that season 3 could have been a 2-hour movie. Way too much filler. And the "relaxed" security at all these places was unbelievable as hell. We were literally guffawing about it. COME ON. I thought she was a fascinating character, and I found her only missteps to be the sexual liaisons that overlapped with work. We all know that's a bad idea. She needs a new hobby. I agree with those who think Spector killed himself because it was the only way for him to take satisfaction away from her. I think it's clear she has devoted her life not only to her own professional success but also to being a champion for victimized, powerless women and children. The other thing that stood out was how much time and energy she had to spend carefully calming down and/or smoothing the ruffled feathers of the men around her. How exhausting. My viewing partner and I decided that Burns must have been deeply traumatized by that investigation into the abusive children's "home" (ironic to call it that), and as the investigation went on, his suppressed guilt and horror emerged as full-on PTSD. He realized they'd dropped the ball back in the day, and that resulted in generations of traumatized children but also helped create the monster that would kill all these innocent people years later. He felt he had blood on his hands. A lot of people had to look the other way in order for a place like that to go on year after year. I doubt if anybody would worry about who she ran to after the shots were fired in the forest if she'd been a man. It's become a tired cliche for a successful TV woman to be hard, harsh, neurotic, secretly lonely or unfulfilled, especially if she is single and especially if she is childless. Stella seems OK with her life. She's got some daddy issues but has obviously done a lot of work on it. She never even talked about her personal life; when does that ever happen on a TV show? She takes care of herself, including her need for physical exercise as well as sexual release. (I was amazed at her busy sex life, but maybe that's just more sexism.) We did not see her boo-hooing on the phone to a girlfriend about her empty personal life or griping about her weight. She didn't coddle people or play Mommy, yet she took the opportunity to encourage the other women and/or girls around her when she could. When she was wrong, she admitted it. She treated others as responsible adults who made decisions on their own. Yet she was not a robot. She was tuned in to the emotions of others and tried to be kind when she had to be direct. It took courage to admit her mistake to Rose. It took courage to tell everybody Spector had been IN HER ROOM when Burns was there losing his shit. It took so much courage to allow people to see that dream diary. She succeeded in stopping Paul Spector from killing again and she saved Rose's life. She won.

What a bore. I fast-forwarded a lot. The runway show was too dark and both Andreas' shows were the kind of clothes junior high girls draw in the back of their notebooks when not paying attention in class. It was hilarious to me that they kept referring to Gary's clothes as historical, as if he was showing us hoop skirts and bustles. I found his collection breathtaking. I mostly wear sweatpants and t-shirts and I will certainly buy something of his if it comes in a 3X.

This episode pointed out to me a crucial question: is this a show celebrating the best designer? or the one most likely to sell? It's two very different things. Myself, I could not possibly care less about a designer's ability to market their work. Some of the work that is most memorable for me all these years later is stuff that would not be a big seller except for a very select audience. Daniel Vosovic's orchid dress comes to mind. PR was, for me, a learning experience in realizing that clothes can be art. I find that fascinating. If this show is focused so narrowly on the whole self-promotion and marketing success angle, I will probably stop watching. I just don't really care.

There are so many ways a business can go wrong, even with a super product. I agree that an ideal situation for Gary would have him partnered up with a savvy business partner who handles the practical stuff and lets him be creative. Gary is an artist, a real artist. A lot of truly artistic people are not great at organization, planning, verbal communication. I used to work with artists for years and it took me a long time to realize that. Also a great way to learn is to try and fail and then get better. Maybe Gary's first business was his learning experience. I hope so. I don't think any of these people (besides Gary) deserves to be in a clothing design competition; I don't know why the producers chose them, and I'm stunned that most of these people have been trying to make a living designing clothes. The majority of what we're seeing is ho-hum routine mall stuff, nothing original or inspired, often looking cheap and badly fitted. Miami Andrea's stuff is what used to be sold in the back pages of cheesy magazines. I can't believe we're supposed to take her seriously. I feel like the judging is unhinged from reality. So often I hear what they're saying and blurt out to my cats WTF?? That camel bathrobe coat was super cool cuz it had a racing stripe? Huh? Tim seems to be a robot programmed with sound bites, push a button on your remote and he'll give one of his Tim comments. They all seem interchangeable. Heidi too. All their patter feels canned and insincere. It's like they're all pretending.

I found this episode agonizingly hard to watch. You knew it would be a shit show from the get-go, and it was. Neither of them have a strong enough design aesthetic and both are unable to adequately manage a team. The first thing a team manager should do is evaluate the resources and assign work appropriately. By this point Olivia could see who would be able to handle what and needed to adjust her plans accordingly. Her design decisions needed to take that into account. She failed miserably at both. The clothes looked awful. I felt like someone had coached Olivia not to talk smack about the others no matter what, and so she just kept mouthing the words "great team, getting along super" -- but inside you could see she wanted to scream. In the pairs episode, she had a partner that couldn't sew for shit and fucked up things left right and center. Then to twist the knife they doubled down in the face-off. Is it ever OK to tell the judges (and Tim) that you had a team of two, not three? Andrea was already "safe" so it wouldn't be throwing her under the bus. Would it have made a difference? Probably not, but holy cow think of the chutzpah it took for Andrea to continue to keep her own mouth shut and look all innocent about how she fucked over Olivia. Did no one on that team think to speak up about it? It seemed like everybody was intensely aware of it and played along with covering up for Andrea. I don't know what the deal is with Olivia. Her interpersonal skills are really, really bad. She doesn't seem to have any idea how she comes off. And Ally, omg. Again, even if she'd had some cool design ideas, she was saddled with that Andrea who can sew but is a massive huge narcissist, making it all about herself. She may have meant well, but again, a good manager knows how to offer critique constructively. She turned it all into major drama about herself. ME ME ME. Ally had that deer in headlight look throughout. Honestly she looked like she was just trying to get the hell out of there without embarrassing herself, and I'm not sure she succeeded. It's not like either of those two had a chance of winning. Where did they come up with this cast? If all or most of these people already have established brands, what does that say about the industry? If they had allowed either of them to stay, I probably would have bailed on the show altogether. I was really touched by how seriously Gary took this. He really tried.

I loved Gary's but thought everybody else looked like J.C. Penney catalog crap. Well, the wedding dress pants outfit was OK. But holy cow, I was laughing out loud at how bad some of them were. Dangling straps and off-center zippers are just gimmicks. I know I'm not up on fashion trends, but ugly is ugly. Where does Tim get off telling them the next big thing is in the room when most of these people's work looked like bad home ec class projects? You can tell when someone has a clear vision, and Gary may not be able to articulate it in words, but he can sure show you what he means.

After the first couple episodes of Season 1, this settled into being the usual dystopian post-apocalyptic whatever. It's pretty much all by the numbers, weighted heavily by way too much interpersonal drama. Just warmed over soap opera shit. We've seen it and seen it and seen it. I just do not need to watch yet another show about people skirmishing with mysterious aliens ("why do they want to kill us?") and scavenging in empty drug stores. Very little action. I really liked the set-up, especially the Alpine scientists in their mountain fastness. I love Gabriel Byrne and would watch him read the phone book, but this is just a big yawn. I read War of the Worlds for the first time a few years ago and really loved it. Earth is so vulnerable in those pre-tech days, with our puny weapons and no mass communication, not even radio. So far nobody has made a movie or TV version of this story that does it justice AT ALL.

Just in case anybody's still watching this forum, I'll toss this out there. I just finished Season 1, for the first time. I have generally lost interest in corrupt lawyer shows, but someone said this was good and the pandemic just keeps going on and on... so I decided to give it a try. These are my thoughts: 1. I love Glenn Close. 2. So much of a show's success depends on whether you give a shit about the people, and I don't. I had not one iota of sympathy for any of them, with the exception maybe of Ellen's parents. Everybody is lying, cheating, and manipulating everyone else. I no longer want to watch things that glamorize shitty people. The show made me think about our TV villains, all the way back to J.R. Ewing, up to and including Kevin Spacey in House of Cards. The amoral scoundrel who'll stop at nothing, but you can't help pulling for him in spite of yourself -- I guess Patty is supposed to be one of those? Was anybody not shitty? Ultimately everybody was willing to sell out everybody else over something or other. 3. I agree with those of you who did not like the time jumps. Hated it. 4. The show did not succeed in making it believable that anybody would see Ellen as America's Next Top Lawyer. 5. I googled "Damages horrible clothes" and found bunches of articles complimenting the costuming. They must have improved in later seasons cuz Season 1's were awful! Men and women both! Everybody in stripes! Striped suits! Striped blouses! There literally was one outfit Patty wore that looked cool; the rest looked straight-up JC Penney. 6. I was confused at the end, so I need someone to fill me in. Were we supposed to understand that Patty had decided to kill Ellen when Ellen said she regretted what they'd done? And that's why she went to the beach house and bawled her head off and visited the grave of her dead baby? And had displaced motherly feelings onto Ellen whom she believed she had just killed? I kept wondering if I was supposed to sympathize with Patty or feel sorry for her. She was a fucking psychopath! So she just happened to have someone handy who could do a murder on short notice, as well as someone who could clean up all signs of struggle, bloodstains, replace broken glass, etc. well enough that a CSI team would find nothing -- all of this in the space of a few hours? Doesn't the fact that a dead guy had disappeared and someone had deep-cleaned the house make it obvious that Patty set it up? What other possible explanation could explain that? Either Ellen had non-David blood on her clothes or she did not.

I'm still processing the whole thing so this may be premature. No doubt some things will emerge over time. But some initial thoughts: I have always tried to avoid anything remotely spoilery about this show and so I knew nothing about the situation with Cas Anvar and had no idea Alex was going to die. So I was utterly unprepared and his death hit me hard. I've always loved Alex the character. He is the one who really *tried* to make the Roci a home and the crew a family. He was always the first to forgive. I will never forget the scene when Miller joins their meal and tells the story about the cheese. Alex and Bobbie had such a great vibe, I was always shipping them. (Memorable reunion scene on Ganymede. "Bobbie?"... "Alex?") It was a gutsy move to kill him with a brain bleed. Remember when he and Avasarala were hauling ass in the Razorback and she was 30 seconds away from her brain exploding? It was a great call-back to that. Now, having waded through the story about the actor's behavior IRL, of course they had to can him. I hope it doesn't retroactively ruin that character for me cuz Alex was a great character. I was very disappointed in the storyline on Earth. It's obvious they made a decision to avoid showing the devastation and destruction resulting from Marco's attack. Why? There was so much they could have done there, but instead it turned into a low-budget winter remake of The Walking Dead without the zombies. Why the decision to do Clarissa's murder spree off-stage? We knew it was coming. We've been waiting for it. They set it up -- and then -- a big nuttin. And oh brainstorm! I know how to fix the rocket! Deus Ex Machina, anyone? Yes, it was great to get more background on Amos/Timothy, and I am OK with Clarissa joining up with our heroes. But that whole storyline was paced badly. So much felt so contrived. Unworthy of this show. I literally had to go do other things while Naomi was on screen. All parts of her story this season were SO long-drawn-out, dull, repetitive, beating a dead horse. All that shit on the ship with the name I can't remember could have been condensed into 5 minutes.... And yet, when Bobbie came to her rescue, even though I knew it was coming, I choked up. I love Bobbie. I was OK with Holden taking more of a back seat this season. He doesn't always have to be center stage. I was suspicious of Monica. I'm glad she turned out to be on the side of the angels. Bull is OK with me too. But I was starting to roll my eyes at the Same Old Same Old drama with Drummer -- and I LOVE Drummer. We knew she was going to turn on Marco, but even so I choked up when she did. "Holden, this is Drummer." She had lost her old OPA family and tried to create a new one, but had to let it go. Again. (Everybody in this show is looking for a family.) There can't be payback big enough for her pain. I agree the last episode was WAY WAY too crammed full of important stuff. The cocktail party on Luna was surreal, wrong. Luna should be swamped with refugees from Earth, struggling to help with Disaster Aid, and awash in conflicting intelligence about Mars and the "Free Navy" and the stolen protomolecule and Cortezar and the Ring. It would have been a great opportunity to do some contrasting between the disasters on Eros and Ganymede versus the "privileged elites" on Earth. Someone sent a ship to rescue Holden's family, but a whole shitload of poor people living in those alleys outside the UN are starving by now. Also, I am holding out hope that if a smidge of protomolecule still survives (somewhere), we may see Miller again. And OK, I know space is dark and everything but jeezy creezy people. I honestly couldn't tell wtf was going on most of the time. Not just the battle scenes. I wish they'd made the interiors of various ships look distinctively different so we'd immediately know who we were flip-flopping around to now. And years ago someone somewhere said about this show (or maybe some other show), it's at its best when nobody's talking. There generally seemed to be a LOT of talking this whole season. I like it better when things happen. That's all for now.

What would be the physical effects of exposure to open space like that? For however long it took her to float over to the other ship?

Answering my own question, according to this, there were three asteroids that hit Earth. Bombardment of Earth (TV) | The Expanse Wiki | Fandom

I have not been able to see the news reports clearly enough to know for sure where the rocks hit, does anybody know? What happened to the other rocks? Around 66 million years ago, 75% of all life on Earth was wiped out by the impact of one asteroid, estimated to be 6-9 miles wide. Earth has been hit by at least two (or maybe 3) of Marco's rocks. This will be an unfolding widespread catastrophe on Earth, not some isolated disaster. I understand the breaching of the sea walls would submerge much evidence of damage under water, but I was stunned when our heroes climbed out of their elevator shaft. After seeing picture of 9/11, I expected horrible thick crud in the air and giant mounds of rubble everywhere. Maybe the buildings were all vaporized, I don't know.

Finally watched this and was so disappointed. I found the whole business about Caroline and the teacher Ruth so unbelievable, on so many different levels, and so insulting to the character. Caroline has had a lot of success in her career and didn't get that far by being so stupid about something so basic. She would know better than to blunder into that situation. As head teacher, Caroline would be responsible for making sure all her staff were clear about sexual harassment laws and how to steer clear of problematic situations. It was as unlikely as having a UFO land in the car park outside the school. Come on. Jeesh. She seemed so clueless and baffled by the whole situation, like she somehow lost all her marbles cuz she thought she might like to get to know this Ruth a little better. And then, the drunkard genius Judith (wtf?) has a come-to-Jesus moment and realizes OMG she's actually a lesbian? Wtf? In love with Caroline?? For YEARS?? This show treats lesbianism as a kind of virus. Someone needs to warn Judith: if you're not careful it'll kill you. Or your wife. (I still haven't forgiven them for killing Kate.) As far as Gillian, it's the same old same old: money troubles, causing tension with Celia and Alan, persistent angst about that fucking barn (GILLIAN: TEAR IT DOWN). Celia being a bitch again, to Ted, to Alan, to Gillian, really it's gotten old. Can't they come up with anything else for these women? The storyline with Ted and Harrison felt tacked on like they had extra minutes to fill, so coughed up something suitable. I absolutely loved the first two seasons of this show, but it has just taken a nosedive since then. This new season felt like they shoe-horned in a lot of fan service (call-back birthday card from Robbie, Raff and Ellie having child #2, cute kids being snarky, Gillian gawking at the hunky handyman, John being awkward and useless, etc.), rather than actual story-building. I binged the whole thing from the beginning in preparation for this new season, and as I watched I realized this show relies heavily on people getting drunk and spilling the beans. I was taken aback by the lighthearted treatment of Judith's drinking, like alcoholism is so funny, right. I like my flawed characters as much as the next guy, but wtf? Our final glimpse of Caroline and Gillian is them boozing it up at a gay bar. smdh -- But there are, of course, gazillion things I love about this show and always will. Like the way they all fall asleep on the sofa after dinner with the TV on.

More than likely it means someone did it to him. Not to excuse him, but this is how this works.

@sistermagpie Thank you so much for those answers! Now I need to watch Season 3 over again...

I tried to watch Season 3. I realized immediately I had forgotten *everything* and was completely lost, so went back and watched the first two seasons all over again and then tried again. Viewed all together, I got frustrated with the ever-increasing complexity of the storylines and timelines. I was actually taking notes! But after a while I gave up trying to keep it all straight and just soldiered on to the end. Random thoughts: Superb acting throughout, fantastic direction, wonderful cinematography. I love stories that include woods and forests. If you like that too, you might want to check out Black Spot, a French show that features a very creepy forest. I thought we had it bad when we had to keep track of two versions of each character in two timelines. THEN we added more timelines, more versions, then Season 3 threw in the parallel universe thing. I can barely remember where I put my glasses, for Gott's sake. I agree with the poster above who said it's a cheap trick to introduce this flashy new twist in the last 2 episodes that neatly explains everything. It made sense and held together, I guess, but it is a sloppy storytelling technique, imho. Also very much loved the music throughout. This show could do with a drinking game where everybody takes a shot when you hear that descending violin glissando, which signals to the viewer something creepy just happened or is happening. Or every time someone gives a sonorous monologue about the end is the beginning and the beginning is the end..... Or every time someone tells someone else not to trust (x) and that (x) is lying to you. You'd be roaring drunk. Though I am generally thumbs up on this show, I am still brimming over with unanswered questions. Can someone please explain to me the Hairlip Trio? Who were they and why were they running around randomly killing people? Why did it take three of them? Why did the admin at the power plant have to die? Did anybody ever help the French delegation? It became evident by the end that a bunch of the storylines were just for fun and had nothing to do with the actual plot. Such as Claussen. Nothing about Alexander's past or Hannah's attempts to blackmail him had anything to do with the time travel plot, no? Other than emphasizing to us what a dick Hannah was. Why did young Noah have to kill the guy who was digging the tunnel with him? What was the deal with that guy's tattoo? And what was the point of the tunnel anyhow? Why did we need to see Agnes Nielsen and Tronte come to live with the Tiedemanns? And Tronte's affair with Claudia, and Agnes' affair with Egon's wife... and why was Helge's mother such a bitch, and who the hell had a child (Peter) with Helge? We learn at the end that Charlotte actually was the clock man's granddaughter, but earlier he told her he was not. He said two women appeared with a baby (Charlotte): who were they? I raised my eyebrows when we were told that Claudia's whole motivation was to "save Regina." How did she do that and was she not motivated to try to save the world from nuclear holocaust? (For that matter, we never got a coherent explanation of how exactly this nuclear "event" worked together with the clock man's device to cause Armageddon. Or if we did, it went right over my head.) What was going on with the dead children who were kidnapped and held in the bunker and why were their eyes burned? and why was the bunker fitted out to look like 1986? Why did Noah give Charlotte's watch to Elizabeth? I could go on and on. I do think this show tried to do too much and got too clever for itself. I think it would have been a tighter, better story with about 1/3 of the storylines cut. I don't think you should have to read a bunch of blog posts and recaps to follow the basic plot of a show. On the other hand, it's refreshing to see a show that doesn't spoon-feed explanations to you. Whatever its sins, I am willing to forgive them for one reason: the examination of "Paradise" in the final episodes. When we see Martha and Jonas realize they can't exist in the origin world, of course it's sad -- but then they evaporate and it's so beautiful and natural, along with the others who don't exist in the origin world. And then Hannah's explanation when she says nonexistence isn't so bad -- that it felt like a relief, to be at peace. That worked beautifully against expectations. Everybody was trying to save someone they love, trying to find someone who was lost, to hang onto someone, and it seemed to be asking us to consider that letting go, allowing someone or something to pass away -- it doesn't have to be a tragedy. I really love that. Oh, and count me along with the others who think in the closing dinner party, Peter's date was with Benni.

I'm glad the fox didn't have to die. I have been waiting to read comments here before watching each episode, and this looks like another episode I can't watch. I am just not in a place where I can watch or hear animals suffering, dying painfully in fear. I can manage it if they die quickly and humanely, but wounding an animal and then waiting for it to die is just not my idea of entertainment. I will probably quit watching. Somehow I am less upset by dead fish. Even the dead mice was OK cuz they died quickly. Boom, lights out. Past seasons seemed to lean more heavily on fish as food.

I read a book called "Two for the North" by Farley Mowat when I was in 6th grade, and it had the same effect on me. I can trace my lifelong interest in this sort of thing directly to that book. (It was called "Lost In The Barrens" in Canada.) Whenever I see shows like this, I keep thinking "at least they've got trees!" Imagine trying to survive above the tree-line. I too am having trouble with the blood and guts this time. Some of these people, I just wonder if they have watched this show before. When you have a bad fishing spot -- change locations! Jeez, people! And once the weather gets really cold, the fish will disappear even at a good spot. So don't rely too much on one food source! And I think (so far) these people are being really naive about caching their food. The local bears, wolves, and wolverines must sit back and laugh. Bears are designed to climb trees, people! I think a bunch of this season's people are building generally sturdier shelters, some of which are really cool.

Really, if you liked Season 1, you will be OK with Season 2. It has some problems, but it hangs together, more or less. There will be some plot threads unresolved, but you can live with it. Season 3 will blow that out of the water. Dangling plot threads are either ignored or further snarled, turning them into complete nonsense. New and stupider plot threads are introduced which make no sense at all. There is no resolution. None of your questions will be answered. Characters will behave in stupid and irrational ways, people will be tortured for no reason, and you will walk away from your TV disappointed, frustrated, and really mad that someone ruined a pretty good show. It's like the showrunners gave the task of writing season 3 to Beavis & Butthead. Please don't read on, if you haven't already wasted the time necessary to watch Season 3. I kept waiting for someone to return to the scene of Hildur's death and find her god-dammit motherfucking cellphone with the recording of Munk's admission of guilt. NOBODY EVER DID. They had SMART PEOPLE from Oslo there for 9 weeks and nobody could manage to stand there and call her cellphone and listen for it to ring?? Unbelievable! What was the point of making Markus the governor? The whole plot thread makes no sense. Sheriff Dan was recreating the shaman's (body part thingie) -- why? Was the new governor supposed to become the new shaman? Why would the Demon Dan want to create a shaman body part thingie? Natalie succeeds in curing her own blindness and passing along the parasite's eggs to a new victim -- so then what? She dies? Or turns into a Demon thing like Dan? Who knows? Who cares? Anybody? Bueller? I can't even remember what happens to Vincent and I only watched this a few days ago. I think my mind blocked it out. Petra and Ingrid were the only two characters I liked and who seemed to have a clue about what was going on. Sadly, Petra loses her damn mind in Season 3. Ingrid continues to run around pointing her gun at people. Eric continues to be completely useless and clueless. Rune Lennox has disappeared, and Michael drinks, roars and pukes through most of Season 3 before being enchanted by the enchantress -- who suddenly gives up after 75 years and decides hospice is OK. -- WHA? New, irrelevant characters are introduced -- the cheapest solution for a storyteller who's utterly lost control of the story. Honestly I could go on and on. Lars the snowplow driver and Ralfi in his bunny suit are my two other favorite characters. But I am assuming the parasite infects everyone in Fortitude and they all just kill each other cuz there really is no other way for this story to end. What a pointless waste of time. Even in a pandemic quarantine. (I want to put in a plug for the guy who played the shaman, Robert Sheehan. He's in a really good Irish TV series called "Love/Hate" -- if you can find it, watch it.)

I just finished season 3 (which is only 4 episodes), and it was complete and utter trash. Mostly torture porn with some additional nonsense thrown in. Season 1 was pretty good. Season 2 is OK (more or less), but please do yourself a favor and stop there. There is absolutely nothing good in Season 3. It makes no sense whatsoever. I feel sorry for the actors and crew.

Really, it took 3 of them to kill Dasha: Villanelle with the golf club, Eve with her foot, and whatever Konstantin did just before walking away from her bed.

Didn't Konstantin flip some switch on Dasha's medical machine just before he walked away? To kill her, I mean.

1minute 52 seconds in -- I am completely losing my mind over Niko in the hospital. I have literally thrown my hands up in the air and exclaimed loudly: "OH FOR FUCKS SAKE COME ON!" I cannot possibly take this seriously. WTF. Apart from the scientific implausibility, there's also the fact that prolonging this guy's life amounts to TORTURE. Jesus. Let him die, for fuck's sake. AND he was in the middle of Butt-fucking Nowhere Poland, yet somehow doesn't bleed out laying there in the farmyard? What, they had 9-1-1 medics near at hand? They airlifted him back to London? I mean... This is just... I'm speechless. Almost.

I decided to wait until this season of PR was finished before watching this show, afraid I would get them all mixed up. So I'm late to the party. I was hoping this show would be a "smarter" version of PR, but no. I died laughing at this episode's runway show. Every single outfit was hilarious. I don't know what planet these people live on. I also wanted to snark on Tan's tearful outburst and that group hug. All this felt very much like manufactured drama to me.
