Every thing Katie made either gave me flashbacks to horrifying children's clown dolls or a Crazy Rich Asians quote: "I'm not sure if it's working or if she looks like a clown's tampon." "On a heavy day." I think Christian begged her to adjust the hem because when it was long, I wondered if she was flat-out finally making a clown's jumpsuit.

He's a wise, wise man.

Not only that, but Gavin lost his job years ago, so Eve was the only one making money for quite some time. It's a new house, so it's not like they're coasting on a paid-off mortage or something. They just survived a serious accident that should have them swimming in medical debt. That prosthetic leg ain't cheap. And yet no one bitches about money. Maybe Gavin was found with a suitcase of gold bars from the Civil War when he was adopted?

So... they left 911 in the hands of half a dozen untrained firefighters? Why the hell didn't they just have 911 forward dispatch requests to their bullpen? Just... W. T. F. Seriously.

Honestly, my first thought given all the talk of Controlling Hyper-Religious Secretive Daddy was "Kidnapped Stockholm sister wives!"

Yeah, I can see that hiding the info from Heroin Hank in the first place was a good idea, but now that he knows, tell the whole camp! Take away his power. Every time Mr Panic Pants would freak out at the drop of a hat, I was hoping for someone with a long stout stick, too. Calm the hell down, my dude, you are Not Helping. So, was the entire fort empty and then the ENTIRE POPULATION returned from wherever and the kids went to hang out at school / daycare? Like, NO ONE stayed behind? No feeble grandparents watching over babies too young to walk far while the gang was out hunting/gathering/farming? No sentries to make sure more modern-day weirdos who fell through a light in the sky didn't wander into town like Goldilocks (complete with Failed Pre-Med eating their "porridge")? Just... ghost town to kindergarten and town guard in five minutes?

Hell no. Just agreeing with your statement that it feels forced.

Oh, god, this is SO TRUE. For a set of shows that can't keep the main characters out of each others' pants (cross-polinating to Med and Fire as needed), Atwater is a monk. The son (Wolf Snack) just comes across as too young; she's a college student and he feels like a high school kid. I hope they end up bonding over being stuck in Prehistoric Land with their overprotective parents and that's it.

Assuming they aren't white-washing Jon Seda, Failed Pre-Med is at least half Latinx.

Heh, given the wildlife, grenades might be necessary. Steel machetes, boar spears, recurve bows with steel-tipped arrows, weapons that can last without running out of "ammo". Land mines might not hurt for a defensive perimeter. And nah, Jesus can take care of himself :)

Or, IDK, AIRDROP SOME SUPPLIES DOWN THE HOLE VIA PARACHUTE? They know that humans survived just dropping 20K feet (?) into the light and are walking around. Send medical supplies, food and water for now. Tents or pre-fab housing. Weapons. Jesus. Also, I hope they go clear out Dead Cave Guy. The gang is going to need more secure, defensible housing SOON. If the sloths here can fuck you up and the most defensible things you have are cars, they're just going to be snacks.

You only get to play that "holding on to the past" card when you've HONESTLY apologized and are trying to do better and the other person keeps dredging it up. It doesn't work for "I can do whatever I want and if you don't like it, we'll blame you for wanting me held accountable".

They've been infantilizing her since Reynolds was forced to ride herd on her after her diagnosis, but this time they set her up to be a parallel to an actual fucking helpless child.

Boden old-manning his way through that made me wonder if someone's going to have a heart attack and free up the upper management at 51. We've been grumbling about 'too many lieutenants' for a while - they need to put Captain Casey in charge of the house to make room for Lt. Stella?

Forget that, everything should have been resolved way before he lost his voice. Why wasn't everything already in Maggie's name? She should have had power of attorney for anything that was post-mortem or have had those documents already both digital and originals in a safe. They have a son that's a lawyer - this should all have been done way in advance (maybe not by David, but he'd know the right people). Nothing should be tucked away in private accounts that would require his personal password.

She was trying to pretend she cared about his "stepdaughter". She couldn't even get through a sentence without messing up the little girl's deets. "...Leah..?" "Aliyah, Mom." And then there's Tyra declaring that she'll force her child to do whatever she wants. Jesus fuck, you'll be a winner of a mom there, college girl. "I don't care if you're unhappy and crying, you'll dance to make me happy, child!"

Saint April, I saw that eye twitch when Will said the study is closed. How are you planning on getting self-righteous and holier-than-thou about that?

Oh, look, Owen doesn't listen any better than his mom does! God, these people are all horrible. Ethan is so whipped by this new doctor. Even more than he is by April. (That's her real objection - only she gets to keep Ethan's balls in a jar. There are two, but she won't share.) Bets that a cursory background check on Dean would have shown he Doesn't Play Well With Others? (Looks like next week he starts the shit-stirring.) I love Dr. Charles, except for everything having to do with his kid. Then he's just another MedAsshole. He really is kind of a manupulative bitch with his ex. Run, Crocket, run!

s4e4 - Paradise. HITG William Mapother and his wife get trapped in their cabin by Psycho Wil Wheaton. I have to give real props to the husband here. They sit down to room service breakfast, realize neither of them actually ordered the banana pancakes, which were the exact thing she was saying she wanted and he immediately said "Pack your shit, we're leaving" and followed through on it. A+ "I'm not an idiot; I've watches horror movies" skills

And here you see where some types of abuse are dismissed because someone has it "not as bad". At least decent humans will allow you to be affected and scarred by your abuse, but you aren't willing to offer the same courtesy to other abuse victims? Is it that important to win the Abuse Olympics? Emotional abuse and neglect are equally horrible and more likely to make the victims feel like there's something wrong with them, not a failing of their abusers. Buck spent his entire life wondering what it was about him that, no matter what, his parents ignored him, didn't love him, and treated him like a fuckup for existing - which to them, he did fuck up with his very existence. They uprooted Maddie in the midst of her grieving for her brother, moved her away from everything familiar to her and ERASED that brother's existence from their lives. The kids learned that any attention was preferable to no attention at all, leading to Maddie suffering in a physically and emotionally abuse marriage for years for the scraps of "love" she'd get and Buck self-harming through risky behavior his entire life to get his parents to interact with him. Mom needed therapy YEARS ago. She's still just hysterical in her grief and neither parent understands what they've been doing to their children or really feels the slightest honest remorse. Dad should have made her get help after Daniel's death instead of enabling her at the kids' expense. One child dies and they THREW AWAY the other two, wallowing in grief. They didn't deserve any of their three kids.

I was confused because people with amyloidosis GET liver transplants; they don't generally GIVE them. Having someone with amyloidosis give up a chunk of an organ is potentially cutting years off their life - they generally have a life expectancy of 10 years on the far side once diagnosed and one of those years should be spent trying to regrow their liver to full size? In someone with a disease that attacks the organs? Nice how they only gave a shit about whether it might not be an optimal organ for Augie. ETA The fact that we can detect pregnancy that early is probably causing a lot more grief over "miscarriages" that would normally not even be noticed. SO MANY fertilizations don't make it out of the gate and get flushed. It's totally normal.

Well, if it were Burgess, she would have flat-out told the father who the suspect was, so... one point to Jay? Is everything with Voight these days going to be a philosophical / ethical debate? I mean, I get that they softened him up after Al's death in this post-BLM cop accountability era, but damn, dude. Is he managing by the Socratic Method now? Nice compromise for Jay. I would have been disappointed if he'd let the father go altogether.

So... Kelly's just a fucking idiot, isnt't he? And the fact that Casey didn't tell him so when Kelly shared his idiocy makes him one too. Casey looks hot with his hair all ruffled. They are dragging this Cruz-Mackey super-secret BS out waaaaay too long. It can NOT be interesting enough to be worth all this kerfuffle.

For pregnant women, "over 35" is the magic number for being automatically considered high risk, regardless of your test results. I would literally stamp 'normal' lab results with (essentially) "Normal values, but OLD, so we can't promise anything". So the fact that Mom used that phrase was expected regardless of Maddie's actual age.

She's the one who social-media-stalked him (against protocol) and found out his origin story. They were still trying to track down his most recent jobs.
