SovCits make me want to shoot them, too, but damn, boy. Yeah, the actor was pretty good at giving me the willies. Brad's "redemption" will last all of an episode, I'm sure, before he reverts to an a-hole and returns to getting fawned on by Captain A-hole.

And Josh thinking that getting rid of the garage will improve its value. I mean, it might benefit someone willing to live in a shitbox while their tenant lives in the brand-new suite.... But that house is a fixer-upper at best right now and he's worried about giving Granny Tina a suite worth more than the rest of the house where his family is expected to live.

I hope to god Nelle leaves Josh behind hanging off Tina's teat, takes the kids and moves to FL. And have a tiny guest room with a twin bed for when he comes down for visitation. I love that she tells tells Tina and Josh (essentially) to just fuck already and she'll leave them to their faux-marriage.

I would have expected Violet to call in to an actual doc who would be able to authorize it and/or talk her through it. If they had come across a dead mom pinned in a train wreck, I believe that's the kind of thing they would do to save the baby (based on other TV shows, granted). She didn't even start a dialogue with Dispatch about a deceased mother with a live fetus.

Was it Uri who whipped a towel/shirt in anger? I remember thinking "daaaamn, I never would have been able/want to do that when I pulled something in my shoulders or back."

Rrowr. 🔥 When I saw Bobby first standing there, I knew it was because if Athena's plane ate it on the 110, Bobby wanted to be right there to go with her. (Not that he felt suicidal, just that they were in it together, for better or worse.) I swear, Bobby makes this same hand signal when he's directing a fire truck into the station. Honestly, I forgot all about the prisoner in this episode and wondered if that was Jem's dad for a sec as everyone was debarking. Jem, kiddo, don't let this go to your head. We don't need you becoming AirJonah as an adult, faking mechanical issues as a pilot. Athena, just drag the probably-dead copilot to the slide, throw him down and pick it back up on the ground. Gotta be better than both of you dying of smoke inhalation.

I am EpiPen-allergic to micromanagement, but I get the feeling that once Hermann (for example) talked to McNewChief, it wasn't micromanaging so much as wanting to get a sense of their methods and thought processes. The faster he can be in sync with his lieutenants, the faster he can trust leaving things to them.

I like Trudy being involved with the team more. I really loved the episode. Story, pacing, cinematography, use of the whole team. New patrol officer seems solid. Don't know if she'll end up with the lighter B-story "comedy" like Atwater and Burgess occasionally got, but I like them getting that patrol element back in the mix. But damn, girl, offer Ruz a hit of that hand sanitizer hanging off your vest. I appreciate the symbolism of the bloody hands, but he gettin' crusty.

I wish Carver's private life wasn't always a hot mess, because I love me a hot, steady, competent guy. I understand the urge to "fix" a guy now.

Heh, the more TV shows I see Capgras in, the more frustrating it is to have the doctors in the show take forever to figure it out. 😄 I really liked that for the first time, I saw what the treatment would be! Triggering their relationship connections first thing in the morning via voice, retraining her visual pathways to work around the damaged area, etc. Kinda cool.

Not a lot of opportunity to hear Oliver's accent except for "Los Angeleeez". :)

Heh, I like that Jeff's all "They're being fake nice to Gary!" So, just like you have been? I'm surprised everyone else didn't help smoke/dry that meat Gary brought home. They know he's happy to eat rotten meat so he won't bother. I was so hoping he'd have to tap due to shitting his brains out.

Yeah, but I imagine they could make a case for being off their head a bit by the time they tap out and argue they didn't mean it / were hallucinating / has a little breakdown but didn't mean it. By making it a specific phrase and and the players knowing that makes it official, the show can avoid dispute.

Well, that's... done.

Gary is the neediest person, I swear. I mean, he was always an attention whore, but this season is just highlighting how much he needs from everyone. I loved Patrick pointing out that Gary hasn't gotten shit on his own. I can't believe he actually wandered over to stick his fingers in the latest find and take what he thinks is his due. I don't remember seeing Gary walk over to their camp with a chunk of warthog, for all his claims that he'd share with others. And Fernando really let that meat rot like that? He deserved to vomit up his guts. He knows Gary will eat anything and never seem to get sick, so don't listen to his "rotting makes it yummy!" bullshit.
