They rerun those docs, especially during pledge months. I only saw it a few years ago myself. I loved the cold open. I thought it was the host playing Elon once I realized it probably wasn't Fallon. Fallon is an bottomless pit of look at me so I usually expect it to be him. I thought the show was pretty funny generally but boy does he love to live on the edge and make people uncomfortable. The sketch with the coupla beers was good. I laughed out loud when the plane was sleepy and then snorted up a cloud for 'a little bump'.

I love Ken Burns documentaries but seriously, that was funny.

Do you think there's a crew member whose job it is to make exactly that color and consistency of mud? It never varies.

There should be laws giving children on reality tv shows or internet vlogs etc (not that they should be there in the first place) required legal guardians that can make decisions in their best interests and not in the best interests of the shows or their questionable parents. See: Mackenzie and Gannon, example one. She is such an immature person anyway, but seriously, she and the show's producers have been harrassing Gannon about such private and embarrassing personal subject matter for a long time now and it's so hard to watch that poor child. Leave him alone! Let him live his life in peace! My gawd... See: Leah and the twins, example two. First it was sex education and now it's harrassing Ali on camera about her Muscular Dystrophy and wheelchair up to an including Aleeah harshly telling her she was supposed to be dead by sixteen! What a terrible thing to say to her on camera. Leave these poor kids alone! Keep it off camera! Nobody wants a season's storyline to center on a cellphone (see Aubrey) but at least her parents mostly kept her private life private. Boring for us, but good for the child. And then they stepped back and closed it down and left Teen Mom entirely. Teen Mom is absolutely drooling over these babies now turning sixteen and are advertising the hell out of it. They are not going to stop until these kids are teenage parents themselves. The parents need to stop it and if they don't Teen Mom will exploit them until they turn forty and beyond. Can't wait to see the first Teen Mom get her first AARP card. Milestones.

It was a great episode but the entire time I felt like I was watching Mission:Impossible not FBI. Just a little over the top. I like Riley and I hope she's not sidetracked too much on this secret mission from the bureaucrat in Baltimore. She's awful new and green to be chosen for the Fly Team.

We need a puking emoji.

Yeah, I like when the OG3 talk about their lives past and present and future. Kody and Robyn have no credibility whatsoever. - their own fault for all the douchebaggery and gaslighting and selfishness we have witnessed for years. I completely related to Janelle's first time ordering in a bar or even sitting at a bar. I still to this day have never done that. I have had an occasional beer at home and wine once in a blue moon and a margarita at a Mexican restaurant. But never the bar experience or hard liquor or shots or anything. Drugs yes, alcohol no. A bar seems like a foreign land to me, I can't imagine crossing the threshold. So I get her excited confusion over taking that step. It really is a thing. Aurora's baptism with Kody 'helping' the pastor is very odd. I get having him witness it and be present - there are likely a lot of people who are going to be there - family, friends, outsiders and congregants alike. No reason Kody and Robyn can't be among them. But to have Kody be a participant is not something I could ever see being permitted. I think this is a nondenominational church or perhaps an interdenominational church. Maybe interdenominational churches are more loose about that kind of thing. I don't know, it just struck me as odd but I am not the ruler of all churches so whatever is approved by the pastor is on him not me. I do hope they don't film it for the show. Let something be sacred and not broadcast for entertainment. I think the Browns would film anything but I hope the pastor of the church sets some limits.

I find the TV theme of the super-Nemesis so boring. I wish they'd move on and do some COTW episodes instead.

Yeah but that wasn't because they just let their homesteads fall into ruin and waste and then wanted a do over. Stuff can happen, but the difference is that these folks are just incompetent. I won't excuse that. Personally, I don't see that homesteading in Hawaii, a very inhospitable place for homesteading, is a logical thing to do in the first place. I think all these white young folks just want to be in Hawaii and buy the only land they are legally permitted to buy, which is hostile to any kind of farming, and then fail miserably to make a go of it in any reasonable way. Honestly, Mr I Grew Up Knowing Graham Nash and I'm a Musician Too probably spends more time futzing around with his music and possibly surfing than tending to the homestead. I just really didn't like his vibe in this situation. YMMV, of course.

Yeah, they have shit piled up all over the place, their homesteads always look like public dumps that they just built a house (shed) and took up living there. I don't think there have been more than a few homesteads that I would even consider living at, it'd be so depressing just seeing all that chaotic junk strewn everywhere and no one seems to care at all. Lately the episodes have been going to homesteads where I think that the families of the homesteaders are probably hoping they will finally give up but then here comes Marty and makes it slightly more livable so they continue on trying to make it on a miserable patch of dirt/rocks with way too little actual expertise to make a real go of it. And of course they envision leaving it for their children to take over. If I was one of those kids I couldn't wait to get out of those depressing dumps. What is really annoying me is when they go back to a previous homestead that they helped out and find that the homesteaders have let the entire place slide into chaos once again and the Raneys are there, pretty much starting from scratch all over again while the homesteaders beam happily. Seriously, folks, you were left with something that worked and was manageable and you let it sink back into a depressing nonworking mess. Why the hell should you get another shot with this show? And more donated new solar panels and wells and roadways and gardens, etc? You're assholes and need to give it up and do something else with your lives. You don't deserve a second shot at a TV show coming in the 'save' you when you let the first chance just become a stinking pile of waste. Grow up, be the adults you actually are, and do something with your lives that doesn't depend on endless work and actual attention to what the hell you are supposed to be doing. This last episode really pissed me off. Raney is getting kinda old to be doing all this stuff for all these young people who have no business being there in the first place with their fantasy homestead dreams they have no idea how to actually live. If something happens to him while he's helping these jerks I will be infuriated. I know it's his decision but at least when he helps people who have a clue and work hard I know it's for a good purpose. The couple like this last episode I just want to grab by the ear and march them to an unemployment office and say pick a job and start working and actually supporting yourselves and your kids you numbskulls.

I've read a lot of memoirs of polygamous women and children, watched documentaries about them, histories, and movies and tv shows concerning them (from around the world, not just Mormon polygamy) and this is pretty much a universal theme. Whichever wife has the most favor gets the most support, and that includes support and attention to their kids. The favored wife gets the goods and the other wives get much less and often nothing at all. Polygamy sucks for women and children everywhere in the world. Even this family, who they said themselves were trying to show the world that polygamy could be wonderful and a perfectly reasonable lifestyle for all involved has instead only shown how awful it really is and almost no one involved (Robyn being the exception by her own statement) believing it is desirable or workable. Kody has proven that love is divided and the scripture that a house divided against itself cannot stand. Truly.

There's a movie subforum?!

All this talk about one rule for 'our community' and one for everyone else is bullshit. Once cops do that then you really can't trust any cop of any color to tell the truth or defend the actual law because they could simply be skewing the truth to fit what they want and think is best for 'their community'. I realize that this was common enough (and sometimes still is) with white cops but the correction isn't to go the other way and lie for a different racial community. Cops should be cops for all people, not just for 'their people'. It really bothers me when this show goes this route in their cases. It makes my serious BS radar ping like crazy. Undercover cop had no business being a cop. Period. We are all better off when agendas are absent or at least sadly unconscious and not an explicit desired outcome. It's not the fact that the writers had undercover doing this so much as that there was so much discussion among some of our lead cops and attorneys excusing it and making it seem reasonable and even a legitimate good. That's several bridges too far for me.

I find that I don't tend to look at people's crotches, I look primarily at their faces. You're not alone.

Chappelle's monologue did run very long but I thought it was totally worth it. His story about Carter made me tear up.
