  1. oh. i either need to go back and rewatch, or pay better attention! lol. yeah sports bar it up, burgers, fried anything else, finagle a liquor license. they could make bank - the only other place i remember was the Lobo that Dan and Rosie used to go to.
  2. did i miss when the Lunchbox went from sandwiches and sandwich type stuff to stews..?
  3. Exactly this. Hire whatever clergy/ghost whisperer/spiritualist to cleanse the house, get rid of everything in it, redo all the walls with wallpaper/paint designs you like. It was a regular home prior to being a funeral home, so it can definitely go back to being a home again. Tear down/build up is expensive and a waste. And not a one man job for anybody, much less Dan.
  4. I assumed the prep room would just be a large area in the basement, so you'd use it like you would any other basement. Remember, Patton said he's taking all the stuff out - that would include any prep room equipment. On the plus side, the basement would be piped for water supply, so you could even add a bathroom down there if you wanted. (Watching 6 Feet Under makes you understand funeral homes a lot better, tho granted theirs was HUGE.) Interesting the different takes people have on spiritual attachments to funeral homes, and it giving them pause for living there. Do you feel that way in hospitals? I know you don't live there, but I don't get a downer sense around them, nor do I funeral homes - they are to HELP families in their grieving times.
  5. so the premise is bad memories need to be avoided, but build in the exact same spot. i'm sorry, are the memories attached to furniture, or walls, or books? if anything, in my mind memories are tied to the location, NOT the physical materials that are on it for a period of time. Just remodel the thing completely - much cheaper and pretend those memories are gotten rid of when the old crap is taken out. writing is taking a big nosedive, and the jackie plots are becoming complete buffoonery. i think i'll check reviews here now before even bothering to tune in the first time.
  6. I enjoyed the play outside of the musical tunes, they just really seemed uninspired and kind of filler-y. I like the costumes and most of the hammy acting. Dinklage did great as I had no doubt he would - not a great singer, eh, but one can forgive - let him put his toe in the water and see. Crowe did it (ouch), Brosnan did it (ouch), and lets not forget Cats the movie (big ouch). Still nice seeing Dinklage again. Haley did fine, she has one of those faces that I know from several different places but can't pinpoint it.
  7. Its an archie comics joke. Jughead was notorious for always being hungry and eating.
  8. Enjoyed it. Nice and dark and brooding. Like Seven meets American Psycho meets Watchmen. My favorite right after the Bale ones.
  9. Good on you being in that great a shape at 74!!! I'm 55 and doubt I could do 1 mile in one go. Oh and yeah good point on the night before - thinking of the Office episode where Michael ate fettucini right before their fun run for rabies. Hysterical.
  10. Enjoyed that. I'm sad Marcel got zapped - I like him as he seems to have found himself after being so dang arrogant on Top Chef. But yeah underdone chicken is such a rookie mistake, I'm surprised he let that get him. I don't mind Shirley, tho she can be OTT exuberant at times. (And I question being proud of being 'the opener' - do her opened restaurants stay open, and didn't Marcel have like double the number of restaurants to hers???) Antonia feels like Amanda F to me now - she (Antonia) is highly ranked, but gets taken out fairly quickly by the up n comers. So much so I wonder if there's not some dealing go on behind the scenes, but that's just my opinion on feeling, I have no facts to corroborate that.
  11. I wondered about Sam as well, he's looking like a much unhealthier version of his previous self. He's older now, I get that, but yeah he's lost weight and looking a bit haggard. I hope he's ok, always liked him as a competitor and seems like a genuinely nice guy (esp doing lots for the diabetes community.) Yeah, the football thing is only fun if they are doing like the tailgate competition from seasons back (I love seeing the veteran players showing up to chow down - 'Fridge' Perry among the others.) The carb loading thing seems to barely tie to football, it could tie more to track and field or swimming IMO. Those long distance runners gotta carb up, and what Phelps had a daily intake of what like 6000 cals per day while competing? Insane. Bless those mascots, they must have been so friggin bored with no crowds to showboat for.
  12. the 1966 batman is classic. there's never a place to run when you gotta get rid of bomb - hysterical!!
  13. awwww 42, not a proper way to go, little guy. nice episode mostly, lots of goofy moments. i prefer Harry not in the big city tho, just my opinion. So the sheriff's got a heart, yay. I was afraid a moment there he was going to say his dad shot his friend, but as he was his partner later that made no sense. Liv as always supportive, nothing surprising there. LSD, well ok - I was almost exprecting H to idenitfy it exactly when he tasted it. Eh Darcy, you are starting to sound desperate and losing the funny quality. Leave Ben alone and go back to being funny D.
  14. good episode. i liked Harry's daughter, for not playing a likeable character she was very likeable. not obnoxious, just regular teen defiant, which is fine. Harry trying to connect with her was hysterical - wrong on every front. The water balloon fight was a NICE connection moment tho. The play totally reminded me of Cannibal the Musical - if you've not seen it, treat yourself and watch it. It is out free on youtube. Really liking Asta so far this season, the actress is bringing a lot to her. I think they are trying to make Darcy more relevant....I guess this is ok, but she still seems more like comic relief. UGH that pepper challenge - food challenges always get me. They look fun and repugnant simultaneously.
  15. Decent episode, funnier than the last one. Harry being so arrogant against the human race makes me laugh, and the little girl manages to one-up him a verbal battle. Bravo. Man the sheriff has some issues, doesn't he? I totally was NOT expecting that date to shut down like that. Is that supposed to be a jab at the New York angry attitude stereotype? I don't think his date asked anything out of line, but he got all bent. Liking Liv more and more, getting some good character development and not just comic relief from her. Poor Darcy, it's gotta be hard having success early and having that end before the career got realized. Overbearing parents, yep, I think a lot of us have come from there. Why didn't she go speak to the young man with the rose tho? Perfect opportunity to salvage a sucky night. And totally agree with @kiranan, the music's been spot on, at least IMO it was for this epi. Some good stuff I've never heard before. Eh the town competition - not getting that storyline at all. Small quaint little towns are loved for being just that, and that pretentious other mayor was just way too annoying. Regarding developing less major characters - it reminds me of Northern Exposure, you'd typically have one major storyline and one more minor one with the more background characters. Which I'm absolutely fine with, it adds more color and less reliance on Harry/Asta to carry the show so much. What a weird tech, using flowers to help power/amplify the radio. Loved the bison, I'm sure it was digital but man a nice touching moment there tween it and Harry. I'm a sucker for animal stories tho, so there's that.
  16. Yeah, I don't like superhero type moves on my funny alien characters. I would've rather seen him grab the guns and crush/bend them (we know he's quite strong) rather than the acrobatic parkour moves.
  17. Ok episode, but yes definitely felt like a filler even with the radio plotline. My 2 cents worth: I liked the ladies' night out, even if it felt like a long commercial for 'this is how ladies act on ladies night out in a bar.' You see the writers trying to build up the more minor characters, and that's why this episode felt light on Harry. I liked the street walking group scene as well, it's completely trope but yeah it always works for me too - I think for me it's comparing how different people strut and swagger when they walk - it's interesting. Harry - he's becoming cocky in his human suit, and this is what has changed from season 1 - he's lost the naivety he had which was so funny and charming. Now he seems rather obnoxious and not in a good way. Also - you are an advanced alien race, and the best tech you have for communicating is radio??? Ugh, sex and bondage jokes (and peeing on a plant joke, when there's gotta be restroom in that building). These were not funny, and too low-brow for this show unless they have meaning of some sort, which I don't think they do. I watch a lot of tv and rarely IMO are dildos funny. I liked Alex Borstein's character. Yay Liv getting a different car and the mayor looking into fixing the pay inequality. Boo on the Darcy tossing flyers scene, that seemed like such a inspirationally-weak 'i am doing things!' moments. Plus I'm sure the sheriff would point out if you can't post flyers on poles around town, you damn sure can't toss them out of a copter and litter all the friggin streets with them. SOOOO glad we are past the Max turning into a little man storyline, ugh. I do hope we don't go down the road of 'the kids are always smarter than the adults' route. Why would the government people just abandon a vehicle out in the woods, except for the sake of convenience for the kids to find? Yay the sheriff's dad, I dunno why exactly but I liked him.
  18. i'm so over the Burnham-Book plotline. they've become the majors, and the rest of the crew are secondaries. their scenes together do not compel me, it's too much soap opera.
  19. Ok is it me or is the bridge spread out further? I wonder if they widened it for covid reasons? Or maybe it's just the shooting angles. I guess the amount of wasted space on Trek starships has always been a nitpicky point. Also...Book is not a part of the Federation right? Or at least not a Star Fleet officer....wouldn't you think officers might resent Burnham's reliance on bouncing all her thoughts/feelings/actions off of him so heavily? I'd quibble over her being able to separate her emotional attachment to him and being objective.
  20. pretty good episode, developing characters other than Harry. I guess I didn't notice the timing/writing to be off....maybe I am off as well 😋 Ok, why would the police need to masquerade as a couple rather than just inquire with the realtor about the cabin's history directly? i get it makes a funny comedic scene, but it seems beyond reasonable for a 'real' police team. lol unisex bucket for the bathroom, nice quickie line. #42 as usual getting some great lines in there as well, i like him - he completely reminds me of Yaphit from the Orville (the little blob character). Harry's painting, too funny - I thought it was going to be a tv showing Law and Order, but Harry covered that joke later. Darcy, loving that color hair. Enjoyed your heart to heart with Asta on the water. I never noticed before, Darcy looks a lot like Kristen Wiig in the face. Sheriff getting some funny lines, tho why so much disrespect towards your deputy? i counted at least 3-4 putdowns. I thought last season they were building some good rapport. Sahar and Max, good, not too much. I was surprised Max didn't cop to stealing the alien ball to Harry, considering all the weird crap that's happening to him.
  21. ah whew i couldn't tell
  22. Is this the same Raquel Moore???? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8137305/Hunt-Came-reality-TV-star-Raquel-Moore.html
  23. Not a bad episode, tho felt slow paced - and I think this always happens when teams driving around get lost. It's tough to make that interesting television, unless the scenery is particularly great or the bickering becomes great snarky drama. Arun and Natalia don't bicker, they just get frustrated, which frustrates me as a viewer. Great Switzerland scenery by the way. (And lucky Arun, automatic drives rather than the sticks.) Has Akbar done anything of the challenges only 1 team member can do? Seems like Sheri has been doing everything and he's just been demotivating her constantly. I will happy dance when he leaves, tho not her. I'm assuming they weren't allowed to use a box for the wine carrying? And as a guy with bad knees, those stairs would have killed me. I wouldn't mind the sausage challenge, I don't get squeamish and it didn't seem particularly hard. NOW if I had to kill the animal for the sausage, NO WAY could I do that. I feel awful even eating lobster when I think about how they are cooked. I'm rooting for Cayla and Racquel, they have genuine good attitudes it seems like and aren't ringers in the smarts department (again, my opinion) so I like them even more, as I'm in that category myself.
  24. 4 arms. no wait, 6 is better. i was rolling. so glad the show is back. love #42 and so happy they didn't go for the cheap laugh of showing him on a plate for dinner. so did see it correctly, harry saved max during the crash? that scene was confusing.
  25. Trains. Killer scenery. Killer hairstyles. Amazing clothes. Pacing like Downton. Even the soundtrack sounds somewhat Downtonny. I'm all in and pleased so far. Loving Nixon's character. Baranski seems very dowager-ish.
