My show is ending and the family may not stay together. Sniff, sniff. But OW that anvil hurt "when you love someone you want to see them happy." While Myka is bitching about giving her life to the Warehouse and not being able to find someone. Okay she was possessed but still ... I love AS singing. But oh gee singing one last song with your sister before she goes into a coma to save others is just heartbreaking. And boy has Claudia done a lot. Saved her brother from an interdimensional vortex, brought Jinks back to life. If anyone can find a way to save her sister, she will. When did Jinksie become such a sourpuss. "I want to be an FBI agent." FBI agent, Knight, comme si, comme sa. Did coming back from the dead remove his funny bone? Loosen up dude and have some fun. It won't kill you. Really it won't. Because it can't be said enough "Dear god what is up with Pete's hair?" Did no one involved in the entire production comment on it when he came back from hiatus?

Oh the drill bit. C & D's whining drove that right out of my head. I so wanted Brendan to say it was a sinusoidal curve for determining alphanumeric to roman numerals. (hey I can snark on them for their actual stupidity).

Exactly. I am sure the producers asked C & D how they felt about being U-Turned. The only response is "It's part of the game. We just gotta move on." There was absolutely no reason to keep going on and on about it and making fun of Rachel while they were whining.

The problem for me with the mocking is they were mocking Rachel for one meltdown she had on one leg on a previous race. She got over said meltdown and did not refer to the problems again. Meanwhile, even after a rest stop, D & C were still bitching about being U-Turned. A legitmate part of the game. So they can moan and cry over more than one leg, but Rachel gets made of more crying on one leg? Yep, they are the "right kind of people." I am no fan of Rachel and she can get off my screen anytime. However, right now she is more mature than the 60 year old guy.

C & J give blondes a bad name. True story: I have a blond friend. She is a wonderful person. But she drove home from an event once and wound up at the wrong house. The event was about 2 miles and very few turns from her home of more than 20 years. Even knowing this little incident, I would find her a stronger racer than C & J.

Hi Finn, welcome to the Florrick-Gould political machine. Try not to get steamrolled. Despite the floundering with Zach, Eli was his old self tonight. Eli, I need 7000 signatures. Cook County or Federal? Cook County. Give me an hour. ME: Swoon. One advantage of Will's death (yeah that sounded wrong but it's a tv character not a real person), way more Diane in court. She is FUCKING awesome. And you notice she doesn't need last minute Kalinda to pull her chestnuts out of the fire. Kalinda just gave her the waiver and that's it. All the rest was Diane being Diane. Damn Renata is one sick twisted bitch. Perfect for creepy Colin Sweeney.

Their "our kind of people" thing really rubs me the wrong way. It's code for believing certain things. And those things are not "let's all work together in a race that only one team can win" if you know what I mean.

Oh ack gag, the country girls live again because of ANOTHER non-elim. This is why conspiracy theories start. Because honestly, those girls cannot race on their own. You notice the first time they had no help, they wind up dead last? They couldn't even figure out the Mustang clue without the Afghananimals feeding them where to find the answer. It was literally right in front of them and they were still "Uh duh, what? You mean we have to think for ourselves?" Connor and Dave making fun of Rachel for her meltdown from her last race was made doubly disgusting by their STILL whining about being u'turned. "I just don't understand them." Yeah, you don't comprehend someone wanting to win and rack up as many prizes as they can along the way. Although I did laugh that Brendan and Rachel u-turned Dave and Connor because they thought that leg was the cars, only for D & C to get the cars this leg. But honestly, it's a RAAAAAAACE. You are supposed to be comptetitve. I thought Connor was a competitive cyclist, surely he at least gets it. Still love my Cowboys, even as directionally challenged as they are. They just race and stay out of the damn drama.

The one where Marcia loses her diary was just on. You know maybe if Marcia had not left it in the half open garage, it might not have gotten mixed up with the old books. BUt the thing that hit me that I never realized before -- Alice knows Lucille Ball's housekeeper. How cool is that? Of course, the show just refers to her as Desi's mom. Must have been a rights thing. I wonder what other starts' housekeepers Alice knew. Did they have housekeeper conventions where they periodically got together and bitched about their bosses?

Let me get this straight -- the Kellers are hosting Thanksgiving. They invite their own flesh and blood. Boob - another invited guest - objects? Sorry, the correct response to that is "So sorry you can't make it Boob." The host decides who the guests are. If the guests don't like other guests that then the objecting guest does not go. That's called manners. Which of course Boob severely lacks.

I had a headache so will need to rewatch this but some great lines. Hank: "I'm just a cop" to the Wesen victim. Wu and his arcane fry knowledge. Looks like he gets some other knowledge next week.

That has to be the most awesome summary of the whole situation I have ever seen.

Dr. Freedman was needed to counter all the silliness because despite all the yucks, the Doctors were seeing young kids shredded to death by modern warfare. Not that the Good Dr. couldn't do the yucks too. As noted, especially with Flagg. Who needed someone to put him in his place that had the rank to do it, but didn't give 2 hoots about army intelligence or lack thereof.

I prefer a much more direct approach. Big Budget director has her come in for a screentest for a movie. She must be there at 2 p.m. When she shows up hours later, she is told, sorry some other actress who could be bothered to show up on time got the part. Preferably her greatest enemy. When there are real consequences for her actions, she might finally get it. Showing up late for the photoshoot had no consequences. She got to do it when she felt like it and the way she wanted. Not filming the show had no consequences. They just filmed when she felt like it. Instead of saying, oh you're not here for the photoshoot? This is Manhattan, we found another pretty blond who appreciated the word. Oh you didn't feel like filming today, we didn't feel like paying the rent on the apartment this month you are being evicted.

At this point I am watching CSI because there is nothing else I want to watch at 10 pm on Wednesdays. So if it goes, I probably won't miss it. It's had a nice long run. Time to end it with some class. (well I can hope can't I?)

I go back and forth on Keith. But a couple things to remember. He said last season that he was at one point $3 million in deb and is almost out. You don't get out of that deep a debt without a lot of hard work and dedication. Sure Disco money helped. But you don't see him self-promoting as much as the other captains (even Sig does and I love Sig to death). At least he is lowkey how he went about how he got out of debt without banging us over the head with it constantly. Two, HE was the Captain picked to go to DC and speak for them all. You don't send anyone incompetent to do that. Those Congress Critters will eat you alive. The fact the other captains were okay with him being the spokesman for them all says a lot.

Well heck, they had kids who lived in Minnesota being excited about getting snow for Christmas. Because that never happens. Of course, most other years (except Laps of Love) there was no snow and leaves on the trees all winter. The Long Winter was DeSmet. Although not all farmers moved into town. When Cap and Almanzo made the run for the grain, they had to go out to the farmer who had it. Thanks bunnywithanaxe and rhondinella for the real history on those winters.

If Pete and Myka have been end game since at least the time travel episode where they went back and were the agents from the 1960s, then they needed to set it up better. Among other things, Pete needed to grow up a lot more. Sure, he is a great guy that you can count on when things get tough. But day to day he has the maturity level of a 12 year old and no smart, capable woman like Myka wants to be married to that. They could have kept Pete as funny and a bit goofy while still having him grow up. But this is the guy who LICKS spilled food off the videophone. So if they have decided in six short episodes to finish it off this way, then it is an epic fail.

Call me sappy (Hi Sappy. There I saved everyone time) but I just love the blessing of the fleet each year. Speaking of which, Wild Bill do not diss the voodoo. You might not believe in it, but Baron Samedi, he believe in you, cher. Also, I see you broke another greenhorn. Why did you leave it up to Zach to train him. THe guy has no experience training people, you don't just throw him into doing it. Especially because he learned from you which is to yell at the trainee. Did I hear there are THREE greenhorns on the Wizard? Good heavens Keith, you like to really push it don't you? Almost forgot -- Elliot can get off my screen anytime. Whiny spoiled brat.

Oh dear God Dirty Sexy Money. A funny funny show about the very rich and famous for being famous. Then they replaced the showrunner between seasons and totally changed the direction. The only thing good to come out of the writer's strike was that it killed this show deader than dead. Grey's Anatomy, I gave up when they brought in Lexie. And I realized that the first FOUR seasons took place over a one year period. Someone once totalled up all the things that happened to Meredith during that 12 months and it was amazing the girl was still sane. Won't watch a Shonda Rhimes show anymore because of it. Castle is heading this way. Started off as a cute, funny, quirky procedural. Then the Mombatross landed. Then the showrunner got into "subtext" which meant don't show a fucking thing onscreen let it all happen offscreen because the characters deserve "privacy."

Yep it was as bad as I thought it would be. Not even so bad it was good. Just cringe inducing. Stupid ass premise. Some crazy guy who thinks its still the 1970s is the only person who can provide clues. Yeah that will work. Also, driving him to the precinct, they didn't pass a SINGLE STARBUCKS? That would have destroyed his illusion. And let us not mention the Starsky & Hutch ripoff (p.s. they were LA cops). I mean really let us not mention it. Ugh, the stereotypical mob guys with their shrill wives. And the Marlon Brando in the Godfather talk. Just ugh. The only bright spot was Lanie and her "jive turkey" talk.

Seriously Pete, do you think anyone will go out with you with hair like that? Perfect form of birth control. Oh look, marriage makes you fight with your spouse. Did they NOT see how they don't get along before they decided to get married? Thankfully he had a life threatening experience so she could realize he was her twu wuv and all the fighting didn't matter. Except after a couple years -- yeah the constant fighting gets old and you want a divorce. Show -- under no circumstances do you put Pete and Myka together as a couple. They are good friends. That. Is. It.

DId I hear Phil say the prize for this leg was $750K each? Which would make winning this leg worth more than winning the entire race.

Sleepyjean, I had the exact same reaction. A miscarriage is a horrible thing to go through. But somehow, I just did not believe she ever had this happen to her. ANd to make up something like that is a slap in the face to all women who have actually suffered one.

Just a quick note -- even if they did not have a marriage of convenience, they still need to calendar stuff that far out. As a lawyer myself, I have to keep reminding my family that they have to tell me WELL in advance of important family events (weddings, graduations, etc.) so I can make sure I am not scheduled to be in court that day or right around it. They don't get that courts set trials months out at the scheduling hearing and an attorney needs to know their availability.
