Aw, Jimmy. I know how much he admires Dave from seeing him on that show, but to see him tear up was really touching.
Kimmel shows once again how much classier he is than the others. Not only is he showing a repeat tonight, his tribute to Dave was genuine and lovely.

1. Ryan R. Wants to live with mom.
2. Sean wants to go back to his nursing job without the commute.
3. Ryan D. Is an asshole,
None these men or women should have been chosen for this show.

Wallace Shawn! There's a Princess Bride dialog joke here somewhere! (Now we know why I watched, but hard to imagine what will attract next season.)
When Alicia burned Kalinda's letter, I was waiting for him to say "inconceivable"!

WTF re: Noah's tango scores. Judges: "It lacked all the elements of the tango, but since you're not physically capable of performing those elements, I'm not going to penalize you for that and am instead going to make up some score based on some other factor not really related to your ability to do the dance."
Props to Noah for being out there at all. For real. But there are lots of people who can't perform the elements of the tango for all sorts of not-really-their-fault kind of reasons. Like age. Or just, you know, no sense of timing, grace and/or coordination. Not being a good dancer is not a character flaw. If this show is really about capturing the mood of the dance and not about executing the elements, why don't we bring out Jasper Johns and have him paint us a portrait of the tango live on air?
So much this! After so many years of hearing them they need to hold all stars to the same criteria and judge based on technique, Len pretty much says he has to base Noah on his performance because he couldn't bend his knee? I call bullshit.
River and Rumer were both over scored.
Chris continues to bore me.
Derek needs to stop inserting himself into Nastia's dances.
I love Robert and his enthusiasm! I want him to stay after the double elimination.

About Alex and Meredith, I really hope the rumors will stay rumors. It will be a huge mistake, of the proportion of Gizzie, and ghost sex. Awkward as George/Meredith sex. I really hope they won't go there. I don't really want Meredith with anybody actually, I know it's fair for a widow eventually to fall in love again,but not in this context. You can't work on a couple for eleven years, and then change the goal in 10 episodes. The happily ever after part is already ruined, but every solution that implies meredith and somebody else in love at the end of the series feels wrong to me at this point.
Perhaps Shonda will reveal that Derek had a heretofore unknown brother who is just like McDreamy. He can come in and romance Mer. Lord knows it's possible in Shondaland based on Mer discovering a new sister every couple of years!

The scene with Amelia was intense. I half expected Owen to comfort her by eating her face off like he does everytime he has a kissing scene with any of his lady interests. His kissing scenes always have me rolling in the floor. Thought the show was OK but anticlimatic.
Along with this, every one touches faces and hold heads when they kiss.. Who does that in real life?

I really really really really really really really really really really really hate Amelia. The only time I liked her was when she blew up at Richard and kind of broke down the same time.
New Zoe? Meh.
Naming the baby Ellis? Threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Christina not showing up? What kind of person is that?
I'm glad that Alex is now Meredith's person. They're the only two of the original interns who started the show. And their scenes have always been so good together. He'll be a great surrogate dad for the kids. And maybe he'll get some kind of storyline out of it.
Richard and Catherine? Forget it.
April and Jackson? Who knows?
0wen? Still hate him.
Callie made me cry when she helped the guy who walked. That was the only real tribute to Derek.
I'll bet big money on Ellis Gray Shepherd winning the Harper Avery Award in the finale and thanking her parents who were extraordinary surgeons. Count on that as the series finale

Then Denny arrives going: "You guys have no clue what you're missing with ghost imaginary sex." Bomb guy just gives him the Chloe side eye.
Followed by Ellis telling them they're all ordinary and Adele not recognizing any of them.

If Derek was a "world class surgeon" why didn't any of the doctors at lowbrow hospital connect the dots? Shouldn't they know who he is? How many top-grade neurosurgeons are in the Seattle area named Derek?

Even if they were at the other hospital, I wish that Webber and/or Bailey were called to support Meredith. As much as I liked Meredith's icy tone with the doctors, I would have loved to see one of them raise holy hell at the incompetent doctors at that other hospital.
If Webber or Bailey had been there, Derek wouldn't have died. Shonda made it clear that Derek had to die.

As for him not going to OUR hospital and at least getting proper care. That's life. Usually in situations like these, we would have gotten him to the hospital and every one in the cast would have done a bunch of heroics to save him and fail but that's not always the way it goes and it's predictable as hell. And it was indeed sad that the man with all the answers was left in the hands of people who just didn't have to means to help him.
They couldn't have Derek die at Seattle Grace Mercy Death. Meredith would have never set foot in there again.
On a shallow note: PD was clean-shaven at the beginning, but by the end of the day he had a three-day stubble. Does he have that much testosterone?

This will never not be funny.
I need Kim to be off of this show but I'll be damned if she hasn't given us a few gems this season. She gave us 100% pain, "you beast", "you don't know what I go through at night", and the dignified exit to nowhere.
Kim's exit scene reminded me of a comedy sketch where the antagonist stomps off through a door, slams it behind her, only to open it a minute later to show that she mistakenly entered a closet. The only thing that would have made it truly perfect would have been if before leaving she'd said to Lisa "I SAID good day!".

Really? Maybe I'll have to try it too. They were so wet and nearly raw looking they completely grossed me out, but maybe I'll have to give them a shot just slightly more cooked.
They were so light and fluffy! Mine looked more scrambled than Vanessa's, so cook them a little longer. They stayed a nice pale yellow without any dry darker parts. Yummy!

My reaction to Joseph's win was mixed. Didn't Curtis say the fish lacked a sufficient crunch on the outside and was a little dry? Vanessa got a better review, so I thought she'd win. Plus, I couldn't get past Joseph's profuse sweating.
Of course, Joseph had Bobby as a mentor. I believe that Bobby's contract stipulates that he must win.
ETA: I tried Michael Symon's method of scrambling eggs this morning. I went just a shade beyond how wet his were, but they were the BEST I've ever had.

Leave Oatmeal raisin cookies out of this!
I bought some yesterday, they also had pecans in them and let me tell you, they were Goddamn good! 100% Goddamn good.
I hope the raisins were plump and juicy. I would hate if they were rum raisins, all shriveled and dry. That would make them 100% goddamn repulsive.

TOUKIESMITH, ON 18 APR 2015 - 4:34 PM, SAID:
Here (waves hand franticly)!!! Student food trail mix from Whole Foods would not be the same with out big juicy raisins balancing the saltiness of the peanuts and sunflower seeds. Oatmeal cookies would not be right without raisins to punch them up a bit. If you cannot tell a chocolate chip cookie from a cookie with raisins, then that's your issue. I have never confused a raisin with a chocolate chip in my life.
MYA STONE
BANNED.
I may have to organize a protest to reinstate TOUKIESMITH...

Thank you, yes, I'm really okay. It's not a kind of cancer that's ever considered to be fully in remission, so my smoking hot oncologist will be in my life like a same time next year boyfriend for a long time to come, but I'm better than fine. (And so is he, wowzers) (is that hugely inappropriate? Fuck it. I had cancer.) Cancer does weird things to your outlook on life. Good ones, for me, better than years of therapy for cutting through the crap and letting me see what I actually cared about. People show you who they are, too, which is always good information to have moving forward. And maybe I'm strange, but everything became funny to me. The ridiculousness of people being so excited as my weight dropped - "It's just melting off you!" - is just hysterically funny to me. Really, it was my soul that felt lighter. Life is absurd.
Peanut, congratulations on your smoking hot oncologist. As far as your relative goes, well, next time you see her tell her that you have an update on your health. Tell her you've lost well over X number of pounds and you just wanted to let her know because she has expressed her concern about you before. Then walk away. Maybe she'll get it, maybe she won't. All we can do is deal with the ignorance and insensitivity of those who are not in our positions the way that helps us best.
I hope Kim finally reaches the point where she know she has to ask for help. And if I could tell Kyle one thing, it would be this: the best thing about when you quit hitting your head against a brick wall, is that it stops hurting.

Discussing issues like this is so hard, I think, when there are so many varying mindsets on family and what that means. It isn't that - for those of us who have cut off family members - it was easy for us to do so or that we don't care for our family. I think those two can be common misconceptions. I don't believe for a second that Kyle doesn't or never cared for Kim. Not for a second. But there's only so much a person can take, and everyone's limit is different. It also feels like there's such a tug-of-war going on with those who say that 1) Kyle needs to toughen up and stop engaging with Kim, but at the same time, 2) how can Kyle be so cold and cruel and unsupportive of Kim.
Again, loved ones just cannot win when it comes to the addicts in their lives. They are always going to be judged on what they did or didn't do, while some addicts, like Kim, are always getting the sympathy, because hey, they can't help being addicts. The addict is the one who holds all of the cards in these situations and so, it's not accurate to say that the loved ones are the ones who have more control/autonomy in the relationship. Each person has to take responsibility for themselves and sometimes that means for the loved one, cutting the addict out of their lives. As much as some would like to think that families should always stick together, life doesn't pan out that way and it's often sink or swim and I don't know anyone who would encourage a person to willingly let themselves drown while trying to hold up another person -- a person who desires to drown right along with them, no less. That kind of self-sacrifice is tantamount to suicide, imo.
It's a tough place to be in when you've cut family out of your life. People talk about their familes and it can be hard to join in because of all the drama. People will ask you about it but many won't understand or they will openly guilt or judge you. Now my family issues aren't about addiction but I really try not to think about the fact that I haven't seen nor spoken to my brother in about 10 years, that I haven't seen my ex-SIL in about that same amount of time, and most painfully, I haven't seen one of my nephews in that long either. He has no idea who I am and I certainly wouldn't be able to pick him out of a crowd. No more family dinners and holidays like we used to have -- not in 10 years. Families are destroyed because of dysfunction like yours and mine and the Richards sisters', so it's hard for me to judge what Kyle chooses to do because there aren't any easy answers to this. Some have scoffed at the idea of Kyle relenting because of the kids, but I see why she wouldn't want to rock the boat for their sakes all of these years. Now that they are mostly grown, I hope she will readjust her boundaries but I get why, because if I felt like there was any way to be in my nephew's life all this time and still keep some of my sanity intact, I would have been.
Well said, SQ. I want you to be my BFF. I can't count how many times people have suggested that I would regret not having a relationship with my family. What they don't understand is that I would regret having the same relationship I used to.
I think Kathy had already cut Kim out of her life to a degree. Her interactions with Kim have seemed limited and superficial. Perhaps Kim considers her the good sister because she makes her work for it. Kyle's always there, Kathy isn't. We all know that children crave limits.
As for Kim holding Kyle responsible for her being on the show, she could just as easily blame Kathy for not keeping her off the show. Either way, it was Kim's choice.

No, that would be Kim Jung Un.Yes it is true that Hitler had his niece Geli Raubal murdered.
And still he treats his nieces than Kim Richards.
At least he doesn't feed them to his dog.
And even Kim Jung Un isn't as bad as Kim Richards.

Come on, now! Maybe she means "three years total"? Yeah, that's it...
I think she means she never had a drink until she was three years old.
I know. I'm going to hell.

I'm having a problem getting off this forum to go to bed. Now who's having an addiction problem?
And it's 100% our goddamn fault.

I would love to see Kyle react to Kim's shrieking, finger-pointing and crying by doing the following:As long as Kyle insists on outing Kim's behavior in public, i.e. her alcoholism, her relapses, her willingness to keep a dangerous dog, etc. she's not going to get along with Kim. Seems like Kim wants radio silence from her family on all her problems and Kyle is the only one who doesn't follow the program. Kyle's dumb. She should be a stealth bitch, more strategic, when it comes to Kim. Not like it would take any real effort to put one over on Kim and cover one's tracks. That would be a lot more entertaining to me than watching Kyle shriek "You're so MEAN" hundreds of times over the course of a season.
1. Keep her voice low.
2. Stop telling Kim how mean she is. This only puts Kim in the power position.
3. Call Kim out on her bullshit. Tell her "I know you're not sober". Tell her "I know Kingsley's at your house". Tell her "I know you're irresponsible". Tell her "you lie about everything".
4. Stop crying when she hurts you. When you stop, you will have the power.
5. Don't give Kim any more money. If the kids need it, set up a trust.
6. Tell Kathy it's her turn. Kim can call on her for help then, not you.
I know firsthand what it's like to sever a relationship with a sister due to addiction. It's not easy, but it sure beats banging your head against the wall.

Mrs. State's Attorney? Since when do they take into account someone's marital status in addressing their political title? What happened to Madame State's Attorney?
I'm glad that they're getting out of the politics and going back to The law. It's what this show was supposed to be about.
