I was afraid of that. I can't stand new woman with stick up her ass who simply needs the right people to train her. Her personality grates on me and I'm certain this is not the last time we will watch her insist she's right, go her own way, do stupid things because she can't keep perspective. Dammit, show. ETA: And bringing her sister, a victim, in to watch an interrogation and identify the perpetrator? Whatever happened to a line up or a six pack? Wouldn't a defense attorney have a field day with that identification? She identified him because he was arrested as the perp. That it worked out was just a scripted happenstance. In real life that could have/would certainly have gone bad once a case came to court. No one seemed to bat an eye. I kept repeating 'don't hire her, don't hire her' under my breath but I knew it was hopeless. She's our new spunky new kid with a chip on her shoulder. Ugh.

I never watched this before. Is it always so stilted? It's like the actors are having a hard time remembering their lines or understand how human conversation actually works. One person says a line, there's a long pause, the next actor says a line, there's a long pause.... It's very unsettling. It didn't help that the episode was set in a weirdly sterile environment - I realize it was supposed to be an upscale corporate retreat and all but it was so oddly artificial and perfect, like a stage set. The whole thing was weird to me. It all felt other planet-y, like it was produced off world by aliens who didn't quite have the mannerisms and setting of Earth quite right.

Who talks like this?!!! "You getting eloped now?" "The elopement is happening in a few hours." "Texas will think you are frauding them ." (or something, it's upsetting to see fraud used in that way, my brain froze when I heard them using the word fraud in so many wrong wrong ways.) If I was introduced to an ex-con with nails like Britney's I would say a quick hello and remove myself from the situation. She looks deadly. Add ex-con, stupid, and irrational and I'm sorry but no. Just no. When Britney was walking down the hill all I could see was Bride of Frankenstein. The hair, the dress, the awkward gait, the weird look on her face... A Gen Z Bride of Frankenstein.

It seems like everytime I tune in to a Dateline lately -new or old - it's Andrea Freaking Cannon. I can't stand her. Where is Keith? Or just about anyone else?

Well, we can't compare this cruise ship with your regular cruise ship. It's modeled after real life luxury cruise ships which are much smaller and have huge luxury rooms and go for about $10000/week per person. They are a much different quality and experience than the cruises your average person goes on where there are thousands of passengers stuffed into small rooms. Think The White Lotus versus Motel Six. I checked out the webpages of one such luxury cruise line and it was very much like the ship in this show. Until now I had no idea such things existed. The only time we see anyone off the ship they are on the same beach with the same rocks each time. We never see anyone off the ship anywhere else even though other places are mentioned. Every time I watch this show I honestly think I am watching The Twilight Zone and these people are actually dead and not living persons on a real world ship. Finding out that luxury cruise ships exists made me pause a moment but no, I still think the ship and the people are in some alternate reality, like limbo or purgatory or some first level of hell or something. This show is so weird. But yet I watch. It grows on me.

You know how you have a great or interesting dream and want to discuss it with someone else because it just so fascinating to you? And how someone else will have the same feeling and discuss their dream with you, totally fascinated by it, and your eyes glaze over and you are just wondering when the talk about the dream will finally end and you can talk about something else? Yeah, that's how I am starting to feel about this show. The self explanation of how one felt and what one interpreted as true or real yesterday or years ago has limitations for my interest. This show needs to show more and talk less. A lot less. I really like Christine but it's just toooooo much. And Kody and Robyn's interminable talk and navel gazing talking heads have become so boring to me. I want to watch the show and I do like hearing what they are thinking, to a point. But they need more watching them do and a lot less watching them talk, interminably, about what they think and feel ad nauseum. There's only so much I can take.

There is no Bill. The OP said BiL, which is abbreviation for brother in law. Meri's sister is married to the man who I assume is Nathan since that is the name everyone is going with. I am about to watch the episode so I'll leave my comment at that.

Didn't Benson have quite an alcohol problem years ago? Now she drinks, no problem? I skipped out on about twelve to fifteen seasons there in the middle so I missed a lot.

Yeah, she was practically twisting his arm, psychologically. I don't like when either side of an issue like this intrudes on the actual family going through the thing. I wish they'd get rid of Maroun or pair her up with assertive ADAs that really push back at her activist/melodramatic tendencies. She annoys me no end.

Yeah, I don't buy her story at all. Especially in light of the innocent woman she premeditatedly murdered in Florida in order to steal her identity. And she would have killed that second woman too if it weren't for the security cameras, I really believe that. She was a gambling addict and that is something that, to me, is more dangerous to those around you than any drug or alcohol could ever be. I think she is indeed a monster, especially since she doesn't seem to have much remorse. She fakes it, but she really doesn't. That Florida sheriff has some weird issues, though. It's like he's on some potent steroids or extra testosterone or something. Way way too "Rambo as sheriff" for me. I'm a law abiding citizen and I would not feel safe with that man having any power over people. He was scary strange. ETA: coincidence: I just watched last week's Body Cam on ID network and this same sheriff was on there doing that preening thing about his county sheriff's dept and how 'they don't play' and how the criminals (jewelry thieves in this case) didn't count on Lee County sheriffs etc. This guy is super intense and talks like that county belongs to HIM, period. So weird.

I get how Meri is feeling. It is heartbreaking to end a marriage even when you know it is the right thing to do. I'm glad she got the release that was important to her. I hope she has a great life going forward. I can't help but notice that whenever Robyn talks about the other wives and children she always refers to them as though they were props in the life she wants for herself. They never seem to have value in themselves or as a two way relationship with actual fully realized people. Just props to move around on the board in order to meet whatever emotional needs she has for herself. She seems like someone who isn't a whole human being, just a shadow who needs the right scene and actors around her to fit her idea of the life she wants. If we were just talking to her alone I wouldn't get the idea that any of these other people were real live human beings. I really liked the talk Gabe and Janelle had. He is an intelligent and thoughtful young man. But as an aside I have no idea why he and Janelle think using a lid on fried eggs to cook the white over the yolk is 'weird'. My family has done that forever and it works great. Just sayin'. 😁 Kody is so filled with self-delusion that you really can't trust anything he says. I give all the wives a lot of credit for not killing him in his sleep. He is just maddening.

I think it was because he actually called him Kenan in the sketch. Unless I missed something else. I didn't like all the singing in the sketches because it's hard to understand what the words are without subtitles and there aren't good subtitles in first aired episodes. So I missed a ton of the jokes in those sketches. And she was great in non-singing sketches so they didn't need to lean on her singing that much. She's hosting, let her really do regular sketches.

And I just don't get it. She's the woman this man with good money has been dating for three years. Not a fiancee, not a wife, a woman he is dating. And she is in control of the whole thing and simply has to spend huge amounts of money on only the best because of course she does. Dude, this is the rest of your life with this woman. Get out now.

Camryn was always my favorite part of this revival and I was gutted that she was gone. Then I saw Maura Tierney and all was well again. I have always loved her. Thanks for that, L&O. It was a good case and everyone was terrific but I can't stand Maroun. She needs to do something else for a living, this is not her forte. She is super emotional and OTT almost every episode. I have always thought the DAs on L&O were very dispassionate and aggravatingly dismissive of the people they touch in their work - suspects, witnesses, etc. As long as they get what they want they had no thought or care what happened to these people. They were just too tough, too uncaring. But Maroun is way too far the other way. She seems to be unable to suck it up and do her job most of the time. I was so hoping she would throw her career away and be gone in the opener but no, Carisi intervened. So we are still stuck with her. Too bad. All in all a good opening.

Kim and Joey are effing with this five year old's life in pursuit of a storyline on this shitshow. I have never been more repulsed by two people ever. This is his LIFE. I hate them so much.
