  1. Yeah, I’m not mad, that was lovely. And made me very excited for Gatwa's run as the Doctor; I didn’t make it through Twelve. I haven’t seen him in anything, but he clearly has charisma for days. And it’s nice to reboot a bit and have him be able to start fresh in the role. Also enjoyed NPH’s insane German accent, and the episode was appropriately eerie at many times, as well as fun. “Spice Up Your Life” cracked me up.
  2. The song is really sweet and cleverly written, so I can see why that’s a popular one. A lot of my favorite moments are just great line readings, especially Leonard’s. Don’t always love how they wrote his character but he was great sometimes. Panty Polarization: Penny: “Leonard, remember when I said it’s on? Well, now it’s junior rodeo on. Leonard: “Aw, not junior rodeo.” Don't remember the episode name, somewhere in the middle seasons after Sheldon says something about Leonard replacing Penny with a brown bear: Penny: “Like you could get a brown bear.” Leonard: “Hey, I have a good job, I could buy salmon, you don’t know.” I also love the whole scene in the episode when Amy is lying about her apartment being fixed because she wants to keep living with Sheldon. Sheldon and Leonard start speaking Klingon, Amy and Penny are speaking Amy’s made-up language, and then once that group has things figured out, Howard comes in and starts speaking Klingon. The later seasons weren’t very good, but that scene was hilarious. Actually, the back and forth between characters in the first episode Amy and Sheldon are living together is also funny—Amy getting annoyed with Sheldon sleeping, Penny and Leonard dancing in their underwear after Sheldon moves out, and Howard and Bernadette calling and hanging up on Raj because they can’t decide whether or not they want to know the sex of their baby. (And later, Penny’s “the new neighbors are weird” after Amy and Sheldon argue and storm out to make out.)
  3. Also, it has one of my favorite background reaction shots ever: when Chandler says, “The best reason to get married is pregnancy” and Rachel is like, OMG. I could care less about the Joey storyline but I love the episode simply for that. I crack up every time.
  4. The fan stories were sweeter to hear than the celebrity ones, though David Beckham's about putting on the show as comfort when he misses his family was nice. The show does make me think of different people and times in my life (like how The One Where Ross Got High--my family's favorite--will always make me think of my dad, "Ah, salmon spring roll" always makes me think of my best friend, and the finale will always make me think of college, because the power went out in the dorms that night and everyone freaked out). I kind of wish they would've shown the cast's reaction to those; I hope they at least got to see them. The reunion was sweet. Definitely overhyped, a bit long, and filled with unnecessary extras that weren't needed to make it enjoyable. I'm not sure I need to watch it again, so it's unfortunate that I didn't wait until next weekend, when a friend planned a watch party for us all to see it (first chance we could all get together). Darn my need for instant gratification! The main six are fun together, and it's lovely to see their friendship. Lisa looks GREAT and seems like a blast, as does Matt. I did appreciate whoever said they were all gifted physical actors, which is true--David was the best, but they all had their moments. Rachel's reaction shot to Chandler saying "No, the best reason to get married is pregnancy" in The One With the Girl Who Hit Joey is one of my favorite unsung moments in the whole show.
  5. I don't know if that's uncommon; my university had a daily paper (you can see it behind Paris in the bunker at one point!). It was only a few pages, though, so it probably wasn't a huge lift. I did always call foul on Rory's sudden ability to be editor of the newspaper and ace all her coursework, which included extra classes to make up for her semester off, given her meltdown in season four. Of course she might have figured out how to handle college better by her junior year, but still. Bugged me. (Also bugged me that she managed to achieve Phi Beta Kappa when she deliberately threw multiple finals. Again, I'm sure it was possible and I'm honestly not super familiar with the criteria--they inducted me as a junior when I was studying abroad, so I didn't go to the ceremony--but Rory's habit in college of not doing work whenever she was upset irked me. That's life! Sometimes you have to do things even when you don't want to and they seem pointless. See: most jobs at some point or another.)
  6. My favorite part was how periodically throughout that scene, Sheen would just be staring out the window at the birds.
  7. Off topic, but this is bugging me so I thought I'd ask the experts here. I put on the first movie on Netflix. I haven't seen it in quite a while, but it's the type of lighthearted thing I like when I'm playing ball with the beagle. Here's my question: Have they edited this movie for streaming? During the scene where they're going through Carrie's closet before she sells her apartment, I remember all the girls trying on her silly dresses, then Lily coming out holding a bunch of purses. But this time, it was only Carrie trying on a couple of dresses, concluding with the tutu one, and then the scene ended. Am I misremembering? Did this happen at another time? I swear it was then (because I recall thinking that it was ridiculous that the three other women could wear Carrie's clothes, as they're all taller and have different body types, and I like 80s Aerosmith). Help! Otherwise I really am losing it, lol.
  8. Oh man, I'd been seeing clips of this online for ages, but I didn't realize it was a full show until recently. Just binged the first season. This is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen--I think I laughed more in the first episode than I have through whole sitcoms. Can't wait until season two is available. Do agree you probably have to enjoy/be familiar with Tennet and Sheen to enjoy this. But if you do, this is hilarious.
  9. I loved the Oscar de la Renta dress Carrie wore during the photo shoot, as well as the styling with the red lip and red flower in her hair. They should've had her be sent that one--she looked beautiful, and it had that more classic look she'd talked about associating with Big. The Vivienne Westwood one they went with was too voluminous for my taste, and it sort of looked wrinkly? I didn't get the wow factor. And the bird was dumb. It was just all so overdone. Agreed on Charlotte's dresses! I especially loved her second one. It was simple and unique.
  10. Been rewatching this on HBO Max, and in the episode where Sheldon is trying to decide between the two gaming systems, when he polls his friends for their opinions, just the way Bernadette says, "I like the Wii!" made me laugh out loud.
  11. If I remember correctly, he was only there half an hour before they needed to go. I think he was giving a big speech (wasn't it a fundraiser for the museum or something?), so it's understandable that he wants to get there on time, if not early. I don't think he should've yelled at Rachel the way he eventually did, but they were all treating what was an important event for him very cavalierly, so I get how his frustration escalated. (I also would've been a ball of anxiety about getting there myself, so I'm sympathetic.) I was never a fan of how the group dismissed Ross's job all the time, though. Working in a museum is cooler than being on a soap opera to me!
  12. I always assumed he had already left California and had traveled back to NYC--he's living in there and working as a messenger a few episodes later. But that is an assumption, since they never addressed it! I don't know if they had Jess purposefully look unkempt in season 4 or what, but he definitely looked rough. It's hard to decide who had the worst hair in season 4, though--Jess or Dean. I don't even know what was on Dean's head at the end of the season, lol.
  13. This has been bothering me... In Nag Hammadi, Lorelai is trying to get the window fixed because she "broke it while trying to close it last night." However, last night (at the end of A Family Matter) we see her going up to get warm, no indication that the window is open. Why was she opening the window in the middle of winter? When did she do this? Was it all just a plot device to show Lorelai's money issues and get Luke over there to talk about Jess? Do I watch this show too much that this bugs me?
  14. They were talking about Lindsey's dad being a surveyor.
