  1. I was surprised it took the whole episode to figure out that a GoFundMe managed as a charity fund for the hospital could work. I guess the Max Magic was making it less about the personal need ("victims") and more about the result (survivors).

  2. I could appreciate how Buddy went with "iconic NYC", and the Statue of Liberty was pretty good, but I also kinda agree with Duff that the real New York is probably not shown by having a tourist trinket shop throw up on a cake. They were just missing a "I heart NY" t-shirt in there. 

    Duff really could have used that landscaping though, to really make it polished. The fact that it's such a monochromatic exterior didn't help.

    Eh, big police department like LA will have opportunities over the years. Heck, our little bitty one has had several guys move up (and move out). I think the bigger issue is that Bradford likes where he is, and that training Lucy was more an excuse than anything else.

    Yeah, is there any option for Bradford to keep doing what he does as a Sergeant? Be in charge of the boot program. something? He really doesn't seem like an administrative or desk jockey kind of guy, He seems like someone who needs to be on the streets and is good at it. And he's not a bad trainer.

    Of course it's not. Under normal circumstances it would be a corporate HR function.  It's (asshole) Logan Kim's attempt at bullying Conrad. It actually falls under "job discontinuance" and it is much more complicated than just making an announcement and saying good bye.

    Well, yes, but usually your boss tells you you're being let go and then you have the HR meeting. No one just has an HR person appear with a pink slip. Conrad (Chief Resident) actaully wouldn;t have been the person to do it, even in RedRockWorld - Kim pointed out that the actual OB/GYN dept bosses were out of town on a conference or something and therefore it was getting dumped on Conrad to inform the residents. 

    (Okay, I don't know what all the "ranks" are in a hospital, but are they not also letting go of full-fledged "doctors"? Like, I get that the residents are doubly boned because their schooling is getting interrupted, but aren't there doctors who are past their schooling who will also be fired? Is anyone scrambling to get them a new job?)

    It’s laughable that a hospital wouldn’t even have an OB department when nurseries and NICU are some of the highest revenue producing departments. 

    Not in RedRockWorld! In RedRockWorld, those damn babies are just money pits!

    Yeah, that treadmill idea was stupid and dangerous. And setting it to 5mph?  really? very risky and unnecessary.  Walk, jog, bike, but put him on a moving platform????

    Once they had him in a gym, a recumbent cycle would have been best. Exercise the heart rate without him hurting himself if he passed out and a much more stable location to do heart procedures from. Although I swear there's a way to artificially make your heart race that they use for stress tests where the person can't physically exercise to that level. Maybe try that, guys.

    It's exactly as you say, they want people to see them as noble vigilantes....maybe the first time but now it's just revenge killing for the sake of it because these incompetent writers have backed this show into a corner and there is nowhere else for anyone to go.

    It would help if they didn't have so damn many relatives needin' the rule-breaking and revenge-killing. We're dragging back actors from four years ago now because we're running out of relatives of the current cast. If they bring back Mouse to fridge him for Halstead's turn, I will go ham.

  7. Watching the end again where Martin takes control of his nightmare, I love how he has Malcolm gazing up adoringly at him as Malcolm recites "No, you're not [ordinary]. You're a preditory psychopath." That's all Martin ever wanted, I think, for his boy to admire him as he is. Or even for what he is.

  8. Eh, I wasn't nearly as wigged out about the half-sibling thing. It became taboo for two big reasons: in-breeding (but we know how to avoid that) and the need to create connections and alliances outside your birth group. They weren't raised as siblings, they aren't part of the same family and they don't need to have children together (although, honestly, with some real genetic workups, I'm sure they can be given a risk value for breeding, As long as their genes are healthy and they aren't carriers for dangerous recessives...). Just because some of their DNA is in the same formation doesn't mean anything qualitative - don't tell anyone and calm the hell down.

    In interviews the cast makes it seem like Chris is incredibly fun to have on set and just an all around joy to work with. So maybe that explains his constant presence. 

    I wish a fraction of that got to his character then.

    Solid episode feels like its  been years since the show was on... Everyone helped out.. Still wish almost every big moment wasnt a fillion moment.. Why was he seemingly leading a briefing.. He's still a rookie... 

    I think because he was reporting on what he learned from Psycho Redhead?

    Yeah, I was in college back then and even if you did have a cell phone, it wasn't like today where it is something you take with you everywhere and use all the time.  So, of the many unrealistic, "must suspend belief" aspects of the show I don't think this is really a big one. 

    While I agree one wouldn't have expected someone to have a cell phone, he was actually TALKING ON ONE to within earshot of her. 🤣

    Victoria, that ruffled thing is called a valance circa 1975

    Hands up if you had that exact look hanging over your kitchen window!

    Yes, those were Nancy's usual pants but damn her outfit had flair.

    I love Nancy's style myself, but damn, woman, stop making the EXACT SAME PALAZZO PANTS (but the extra attached crap makes it special!). It's good, but it's cookie cutter at this point. MAKE. SOMETHING. ELSE.

    Reggie clearly isn't a warm and cuddly dude but he seems to be genuine when he congratulates those who do well, and relieved each time he does well himself. Also, it IS a competition, so not sharing ingredients you're still using yourself shouldn't really be seen as a character flaw!

    It's not like they had a limited amount of heavy cream available for an ice cream challenge. I'm sure she could have run to the fridge and gotten her own quart.

    But Malcolm's a silver medalist ax thrower.  Or catcher.  Or something.  Sure, why not

    Well, he actually challenged Dani to an axe-throwing match in an earlier ep, so I guess he puts the antique and unusual weapons in his collection to use.

    I guess the ending takeaway is that Malcolm's really not entirely well and he's going to just keep being that way and that everyone's just going to let him?  

    I think Malcolm's always just tried to find something that works for him, rather than thinking he can ever be "normal". And his team and family seem to be working for him, so... good? He certainly seems pretty self-aware when it comes down to it.

    I hope they never get him together romantically with Dani - can we please just enjoy two friends and partners without the drama? She's already closer to Malcolm than Eve ever was.

    Yes, please take a vacation, Malcolm! I wanted to see how Malcolm would interact with his new German nanny - LOL!

    Judging by his white linen suit in the previews for next week, it looks like he took that vacation somewhere nice. It was amusing to see that he could be bought with a good hot toddy, however, despite his exasperation with his mom's interference.

    Malcolm was starting to snoop around into daddy's peculiar hobby and Martin was already having to chloroform him.  How long could that go on? 

    I'm thinking the camping trip was a way for Martin to see if Malcolm could be brought on board since he couldn't keep him quiet. The family that slays together...

  17. "If Bright were a state, he'd be Florida."

    I am looking forward to Malcolm addressing the "you were going to kill me" issue with Martin, but yeah, I like that they can take any chunk of the ensemble and make it work well.

    Also, where did the box come from, was it just sitting on the floor in the house?

    On 1/22/2020 at 7:23 PM, ItCouldBeWorse said:

    Exactly. So Malcolm took the time to drag the box up the stairs instead of seeing if the killer was attacking his family? 

    That was not the same box that the girl was in. I assume it was just some piece of furniture in the room and Malcolm knew Watkins had been locked in small spaces as a child.

  19. So Upton is the New Al (the person willing to be old school and take care of business) and Halstead is the New Antonio (the person who will push back at Voight about doing the right thing)? It feels like they're trying to refill those roles which, ot be fair, were kinda important to the dynamic.
