This is exactly how I felt. I was getting bored with them and just wanted it over with. I was more interested in Ormewood's case in this one, and felt it didn't really get closure with the killer's other two friends.

I thought this as well at first. I really thought she was Kelly grown up.

I don't think it was filmed in Denver. Orion at one point mentioned someone recognizing him on the flight, and Austin said he was going back to the hotel, not home. I thought that was emblematic of Emily's reactions. Any point from Brennan was met with a counter that was irrelevant and was more about how she's "better" than him (this one, the 8.5 vs. 6 comment, etc.).

There were so many scenes backstage of the women gearing themselves up to be deliberately combative. Before the last session either Emily or Clare (can't remember which) told the other one something like "This is the last time, just keep fighting." And I thought, what or who are you fighting? And why? They very clearly were only there to fight and win some kind of perceived battle between them and the men. Just let it go already! By the end of that last session, I definitely think Lauren was starting to clue in, when she said just let them get 10 words in already. I think Emily and Clare are the main instigators of this, and Becca is just a follower, letting herself be dragged down with them. I also caught a clip from the where are they now preview of Chloe talking to Brennan and Cam (I think it was) and she says "These women do not want to heal" followed by a clip of Emily, Clare, and Becca together and Emily says something like "Sometimes it's good to have some hate". Seems like maybe Chloe tried to keep in touch with them in some way but they have no interest in letting go of their grievances, so she's out. I'm genuinely intrigued to learn more. I thought it was kind of hilarious when Cam was trying to tell the story of the "double date" situation and Clare went into (what seemed to me to be) performative crying, and Cam was like "should I continue?" Lol. And then Brennan tried to pick up the story, and Emily followed suit and it was both Clare and Emily in full-on performative histrionics. Hahaha. What a complete train wreck those two are. I don't really trust Cam, but I think what Brennan was finally allowed to get out about the "double date" story (short and sweet as he promised) was way more believable to me than whatever the women got into their head about it. Last thing, when Emily made her comment about her being an 8.5 and Brennan being a 6 who nobody would hit in on a bar or whatever, Brennan's reaction was definitely one of "here we go again". I think he must have gotten a lot of this side of Emily behind the scenes, where she just refused to acknowledge or believe anything he said to her off camera. I don't particularly like Brennan either, but after this, I would hang out with him a million times before I would spend any time with Emily.

The all pink and their reasoning for it gets a huge eye roll from me. I also don't buy for one minute that all the men lied about everything and all the women were the paragons of virtue as they seem intent to paint things. Every season has some couples where the wife is less at fault, more honest, more likeable, whatever, and others where the husband is that, and others where it's pretty equal. This season is no different (though pretty much nobody ended up likeable by the end). ETA: I really think they should go back to keeping the couples isolated from each other. When they're all up in each other's business all the time it's exhausting and potentially harms their relationships. I think this season especially they fed into other's issues and really seemed to turn into a hive mind (particularly the women). Like all the couples' issues became all wrapped up in the other couples' issues instead of just focusing on their own relationships.

I don't know if other contestants did this as well and I just didn't notice, but I felt like there were multiple times where they were supposed to do a certain technique or whatever and Morgan talked about how she doesn't do that technique. That kind of annoyed me. Not that I thought she was complaining really, just that it felt like she kind of kept in her box a bit too much. I did think they were probably the correct two in the finals based on the work they did, they I preferred Ryan.

Asta definitely knows, but I'm not sure about D'arcy.

I really hope some of these people have conversations and at least someone new is pulled into the know soon. We got D'arcy this season, but now we have Ben & Kate and Mike & Liv off doing their own alien-related things. I guess maybe D'arcy bringing back the baby could spur some of that. Oh, and I was somewhat surprised Ben & Kate didn't have a moment where they remembered Max's alien claims way back when. So the three of them have things they could talk about.

I couldn't figure out if child Colton was really in the past, or if the wardrobe was just intentionally (or unintentionally?) misleading as to when it was. As soon as Casey greeted Alice in the diner and was momentarily confused about the sale (like they weren't sure when it was), I knew for sure they were a time traveler. Yeah. I like Thomas, and they definitely have chemistry, but I don't see how that could work, and I would just feel bad for Elliott.

He had a second surgery/procedure, and that's what was at issue. Not the original one which was longer ago. You can choose to believe him or not about his condition (I do), but I felt it was totally appropriate for Keisha to defend Cam there for not being at the get together. And I think it would be totally inappropriate for Keisha to question or openly doubt what he says about his health (just as I think it would be totally inappropriate for them to question the veracity of Emily's accident/health, which I also take at face value). Emily herself wasn't even doubting that Cam had a surgery, just that if she had had surgery, she would have drug herself out of bed to be there, and Cam should have too (which is nonsense). And as someone else said, Clare wasn't even there!

They're definitely in Wyoming, on their way from Cascadia to Alexandria. I think they were going for Yellowstone, given the talk of the calcified walkers. They have to go back to Cascadia since that's where Jadis's dossier is and I think where Beale is to give Rick the echelon briefing, but I don't think they will then have to turn around and go back to Pennsylvania. I think this is where all the talk of the "summit" will come in. All the CRM leaders will be there. I've been thinking since the first time it came up that it had to come into play by the last episode. At one point I thought the scene of the helicopter blowing up the building was going to end up being Rick taking out the summit, but that's out now.

IMO this is not at all how it was actually written back when she initially chose Lucas, with the scene on the bridge, etc. I think that's what the new writers/showrunners are going with, but it wasn't what the previous showrunners had in mind, and certainly not what came across on screen. Totally agree with this. I definitely preferred Lucas/Elizabeth, but could have lived with it if it had been written with this in mind the whole time, but I really don't think it was. I still have the last 2 episodes from the previous season on my DVR with zero desire to watch them (and it took me a while to watch the episode before that, too), and I can't imagine I will be motivated to watch any of this new season.

Just saw this Allstate Mayhem ad with Larry Bird and I am crying.

@MaryMitch The results page isn't up yet I don't think. It will be in the list of links here, or that page will redirect, not sure. Either way, that's the link you need for now until it's available.

I loved when D'Arcy and Harry realized the cage was getting smaller and Harry's reaction was "Oh, he has the new model". He was actually impressed, lol. Also, the trap was perfectly tailored to Harry. The Grays definitely have Ben and Kate's baby. Ben saw it when he was abducted in the last episode of S2. But of course he doesn't remember.
