I can’t wait to see how she screws up Thanksgiving. Maybe with her tv experience with Deception she can become a famous tv chef or a foodie influencer.

I loved that George was the one to take Sheldon to visit Massachusetts since he was the one that took him to Cal Tech earlier in the series. I did laugh when they saw the snow and immediately went back inside without even visiting MIT. The scene with Drs Sturgis and Linkletter telling Sheldon to go to a prestigious university was wonderful. It reminded me of the video that the high school teachers made when it was time for Sheldon to graduate. I also loved the final scene with the professors and the dean. I would watch a spinoff about the college with these actors (it would probably be better than the Georgie spinoff coming up).

The Yellowstone jokes made me laugh. Isn’t there some sort of conflict of interest with Harris providing food to the college? You’d think that they would have some food service company delivering food to the college for the cooks to prepare.

It seemed odd that Dan would hold his seminars in his own house. The hardware store would probably be a better location. I really hope we get a scene where Dan has paid off the mortgage (for real) before the series ends. There was so much emotion in the scene from the original series when they burned their mortgage papers and I’d love to see that accomplishment for real this time for Dan (or for the kids to pull their money together and pay off the mortgage for him).

I wonder if the only reason that Sheldon was mad about the computer is that the computer kept winning at chess. I’m also wondering if his roommate (a computer major) mentioned something in the past, Sheldon somewhat agreed and then his roommate went ahead and upgraded the computer thinking he was helping Sheldon. re the baptisms, I know that we’re watching 1990s Texas, but I wonder if the grandmas would be able to get away with that today. With Georgie not caring about the baptisms, I’m guessing that he probably wouldn’t be a regular church goer if he didn’t live at home, but he believes in God and doesn’t mind that Cece is baptized because she probably would get so eventually.

There was an article that mentioned he was coming back this season, but didn't say how or which episode he was returning. It would have been interesting to see him as Sheldon's roommate instead of the unnamed guy that appeared in tonight's episode.

I'm glad that they retconned the affair. Mary was a lot of fun this episode between the role play and her interactions with the football team (the sled had me cracking up). I did feel bad for Sheldon losing his bedroom. In regards to his dorm room, were there two beds in the room or only one bed? I didn't mind the roommate (I hope we learn his name in a future episode), but I was sort of hoping that would have been the roommate. I enjoyed his bonding over video games with his dorm neighbors in the past, so I enjoyed his bonding with his roommate. I was a bit surprised that he didn't comment about Sheldon being younger than him, or a small comment about someone telling him about the student that was in his room last year ("you must be that weird kid that was here last year"). Missy will always be my favorite character on this show. I'm glad that she opened up to Mary after her boyfriend broke up with her.

This was an interesting episode. Although I missed Bell being in charge, I enjoyed the dynamic between Elliot and the younger cops, especially in the hotel. I was waiting for him to comment that he somehow acquired three extra kids. On another note, I wish they would trim Elliot’s beard a bit. It’s a bit too bushy IMO.

I was surprised that they actually solved the case during the episodes. After seeing the OC previews last week, I thought that Elliot was going to find Maddie for Olivia. I liked the FBI lady that was working with Olivia. I missed whether or not they found her missing sister and was wondering if the cold case would be a potential story in the future.

I was half expecting Jackie to get a phone call at the end telling her that Bev had a heart attack on the train. As crazy as it was, I was glad that Jackie got a nice moment with her mother. Other than her complementing her about her parenting in the original series (which was probably retconned), Jackie has never really received any praise from her mother.

Once we saw Ben and Addison reunited, I was hoping that we’d see a surprise cameo by Scott Bakula returning to the Quantum Leap HQ. Gideon turning out to be Hannah’s son was somewhat predictable after the son being such a big part of the first episode. I was surprised that we didn’t get an older Hannah in real time or some acknowledgment as to whether or not she was still alive in 2024. I really hope this gets renewed, and if it does, wouldn’t it be amusing if Addison was sent home after her first leap while Ben continued to leap?

Missy was my favorite part of the episode. I’m waiting for a throwaway line when Mary gets home about how Missy made something better than Mary. I’m just a little disappointed that we didn’t get a scene with Billy stopping by and complementing Missy on her cooking.

She strikes me more of the MIL type that will either show up in a white dress or in all black like she’s headed to a funeral, black hat and veil included, and going on and on about losing her baby boy to another woman.

New Jagger looks like Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter’s father. I’ve never seen Night Shift, so how old is Stone Jr supposed to be?

Could it be that some members of the audience attend regularly if they live in the NYC area?
