I'm glad most people were (sort of) satisfied with this finale. TBH, I turned on the television to watch AoS live and caught Regina about to be crowned and I'm pretty sure I had a rage blackout right then. Seeing Emma, Hook and baby Hope helped a little though and they're the only reason I didn't just delete the last 8 dvr'd episodes. (I may still go back and watch them at some point. Or not...)

I would have too. Still, this episode alone could generate enough story for half the 13 episodes they'll get the summer after this. (Or 1 - which is just as likely.) I'm glad they made Mack Coulson's successor. He's the only one who has any kind of moral compass. FitzSimmons were willing to potentially sell out the whole world for each other, May and Daisy for Coulson and they made it look like Elena was too willing to kill (wrongly, IMO but whatever...). AP has been awesome this season and I'll miss Talbot a lot, not something I could have pictured saying at the beginning.

No, my screen name is just a name. I'm not very creative in that sense. Ditto with the avatar, I was taking an art history class and spending tons of time on museum websites. If the producers were smart, they would work some cameos in to woo the fans of the original series. Old Max as a cop alongside new Max would be fun.

There has already been one mod note about moving on from Dan and Roseanne's career choices. The Conners are where they are. Please move on. Personal anecdotes about the opiod discussion should go in the Kitchen Table topic. We will be going back later and moving some posts. Expect some off-topic posts to be removed also.

Why anticipate? Or why a reboot? I know a lot of people were hoping for more of a revival than a reboot. I was open to either. I'm not totally sold on the casting myself and this is the kind of show where the chemistry makes or breaks it for me. I'm willing to give it a chance because I like sci-fi on my tv. And it will be a change from the comic book shows.

Thanks for the link. I was wondering how on earth the CW was going to fit all those shows in. So, we have a bit of a wait ahead...

One store where I shop has cold rotisserie chickens (and lots of other deli stuff) on the shelves right across from the deli section. (Clever marketing.) Though I do think that there is a special SNAP thing where if you are homeless or live somewhere without kitchen facilities, you can get hot food but I don't know the details.

I always hate it when they make me feel sorry for Steffy but the first person Liam talked to shouldn't have been Ridge, it should have been Steffy. He did owe her the information that he filed the annulment papers. It's weird but I don't recall many (any?) soap storylines where the leading man actually dumped his pregnant wife. But then I watched mainly NBC and ABC soaps, so that might be thing with the CBS soaps? It was nice to see Raya but Rick was awfully surly. Is there some nuance I missed? Karla looked glowing though.

While discussions of cable news, sitcoms, unemployment, poverty, etc. are fair game thanks to the episode, it's time for the personal opinions and anecdotes to go to Small Talk or the Kitchen Table - unless your comment is about the characters themselves. From this point on, off-topic posts are subject to removal. Thanks!

According to my daughter who used to live in NYC, a lot of people rent cars to drive. I suppose on a busy weekend you could come out ahead. Or maybe they put paying the car payment ahead of the internet bill, juggling month to month which bills to pay?

Renewed for a Season 2. http://deadline.com/2018/05/final-space-renewed-season-2-tbs-olan-rogers-conan-obrien-1202383813/

For discussing Final Space in the media.

I went ahead and created a topic for discussing behind the scenes stuff. to use going forward.

Please take the personal Social Security and retirement home discussions to either Small Talk or the Kitchen Table/Social Issues topics. Thanks!

Finally got to Friday's episode. Not quite sure how to interpret Steffy's blinks. Is she reconsidering Bill's offer or is that a deer in the headlights look? I felt more sorry for Liam. At this point I don't believe he's in love with either Hope or Steffy, he just wants to belong somewhere. It's kind of sad that there's no one who wants what's best for Liam without an ulterior motive of their own. It makes Bill co-opting Wyatt that much more despicable.

'Letting Ghost' - Martin and Lena are thrilled when they hear that Mae has won the lead in the school musical but are surprised to learn that she has been confiding in the school psychiatrist, Dr. Rydacto (guest star Fred Armisen), about her feelings toward how not divorced they are acting. Meanwhile, Martin has reservations about how fast his relationship with his girlfriend is going and asks Mason for girl advice, on 'Splitting Up Together,' TUESDAY, MAY 8 (9:30-10:00 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network.

The Conners can't pay their Wi-Fi bill, so they befriend their new neighbors to use the Internet for Mary to Skype with mom Geena, who is stationed in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Dan loses an important job and D.J. admits post-military life has been hard, so they come up with a plan to make extra money.

Yes, they just don't have any ability to follow through and transition stories. Everything is so abrupt and headache inducing. (You do have to admire the actors' ability to go with the flow.) Even though I thought the way they got to Still 2.0 was sleazy, it could have been okay - Steffy finally realizing that Bill was really the one. But using a perfectly fine WTD moment to initiate months of painting Steffy as Bill's victim and then the shooting to nowhere, I would say that's the dumbest way to evolve a storyline except this show would just consider it a challenge. :-)

That was my first thought. I'm there for it.

So... a young Avant with a secret. https://www.tvinsider.com/686419/the-bold-and-the-beautiful-adain-bradley-cast-alexander-avant/amp/

I've moved a couple of posts to Rachel Maddow: Our Favorite Rhodes Scholar. Comments in this topic should be directly related to what has been discussed on the show.
