I'm kinda glad they aren't trying to keep this level of villainy going all season (Lord knows this show loves its cartoon-level villains), but I do hope they are keeping along that theme. It could be an amazing season if it's about race / police relations and the changing world of policing, especially since you have someone like Voight as the old school struggling with needing to change. It'd be nice to swap out some of the white folk for POC cops to give a little variety to the "sides" - honestly, ANY C would help.

So did Jesse Spencer just get bored during lockdown and give himself a box-dye-from-CVS dye job in "one-note matte brown"? Jesus, who in hair and makeup is letting him leave the house looking like that? (Ok, I guess at some point they fixed it because he gets something resembling highlights/lowlights in some scenes.) Honestly, Chicago is a TERRIBLE place to show "TV COVID" times because Gov Pritzger and Mayor Lightfoot went f'ing HARD right off the bat and anyone walking around all barely-masked would all but get a personal smackdown. Seriously, so many Lori Lightfoot memes...Save Lives, Stay Home #whereslightfoot Also, thanks for making it seem like Chicagoans don't know how to slow down their cars when a fire truck screeches to a halt and someone jumps out. We don't keep drivng and honk at them like an asshole, thank you. Likewise the El platform.-

But only April truly knows how to minister to the COVID-sick! What would Chicago do without her? (And it looks like it will get worse next episode.)

Heh, actually, I was thinking of auto-brewery disease myself. But mostly because of the literary irony coupled with his current relationship crisis almost required it.

Why is everyone saying that Leo helped Will and James? He moved them just enough to benefit himself. Which, totally fair, (RAAAAAACE!) but it didn't help W&J at all. It let everyone else pass them when at least Will's lack of skill had been holding all of them back together.

oMG NAPERVILLE. I get the feeling that Jason and family will be fine when they move the hell away from Annette and her desperation. (Even her husband thinks their relationship is freaky.) Like, when she's around to latch on to him, he finds it hard to not give in, but with distance, he's not a total dependent loser and he's protecting Justina. But someone needs to get this woman some mental health care if she's crying when they go home to the suburbs at the end of the day. She's such a selfish cow. [And that's the nicest c-word I find myself using during this show.] Shekeb's just wallowing whole hog in the creepy. "Yeah, Mom, I get it - your wish is for Emily and your husband to be dead so you don't have these annoying reminders that you and I aren't married." His own dad is saying that the relationship is too close and he just nods, yep, yep, inappropriate. Girl, get out, he's quite aware that Laila will never, ever even be in the same room with her voluntarily, no matter what Emily does for her. Like some clothing store accessories will change her entire dysfunctional personality.

We were expecting an NYC spinoff for season 4, with kids gradually graduating and either disappering or moving on to the NYC show. If they were smart and staggered the HS kids more, TPTB could have brought in small numbers of new kids, integrated them and by the time they had to anchor Glee, they'd be familiar. Rince and repeat.

I started writing commentary, but I hated it sooo...much. It-it-th-it Flames. Flames. FLAMES on the side of my face. Breathin-breathle-HEAVING BREATHS

I think calling Archer a "sperm delivery device" in front of her will at least fill her in at some point.

Hah, finally realized where I saw Will before - he was on ANTM.

Well, that was some horrific mental rape shit that Kinsey and Gabe were so damn cavalier about. Nothing like using someone's body against their will. Is it a rule that if one sibling's annoyingness goes down, another one needs to step up to the plate double?

"Not since I found Valium!" I like how her friend thought she actually spends any time with her kids. I still hope Bode dies a painful death and soon because he earned it. He is just too stupid to live. I'm actually using KindleUnlimited to read the comics because I don't think I can handle watching him be this annoying for many more epsidoes but the story concept intrigues me.

Bode is just a terrible, terrible Darwin-award-winning idiot. And Mom walks around like she's on some heavy post-trauma Valium. I think there was some mention of the skill for using the keys runs in bloodlines so maybe that's why Mom forgot everything to do with them once out of the mirror? ETA How was Echo able to leave the well? I assume there was something in place keeping her there and Bode is stunningly stupid, but didn't do anything to let her out that I saw.

Stop putting John's wellbeing on Janet. She is not his emotional support animal. If I were her, I would never move into that place - I mean, that's pure "cleanse with fire" territory there. He would have to keep the place that clean from now on just to allow him to touch me again after seeing the filth he lived in.

"They're threatening to assess like $30K cleanup of the things they want to steal from us. They won't steal our things and charge us $30K for them to steal it. And in turn they want to keep our property and our land too We've got a lot of stuff out there. It needs to be cleaned up. We don't want that stuff out there anyway. But they don't have the right to threaten and deprive us of our rights." Bitch, you got a mouse in your pocket? Who's this "we"? You and the son whose property you've effectively stolen? Don't think he feels that way.

My house looks like a hoarders right now and it's a fun combo of depression and ADHD. (yay executive dysfunction) So you never know, she might appreciate a helping hand decluttering. I had a huge purge once where everything was stashes in a spare room on the third floor and I couldn't imagine carrying it all downstairs and out for trash day, Finally, I rented a dumpster and invited my friends over on the weekend to chuck my old couch and hurl everything out a window into the dumpster. Lots of fun, actually, got support from my friends and as a single person, appreciated the muscle assist. I could see being a caretaker could leave you a little depressed, and pretty drained, and just not having the energy to keep things from getting out of hand.

So the whole family was just devastated about the violent abusive drunk dying? Everyone was singing his damn praises and Louvinia was blaming Flora for not making the violent drunk want to come home promptly? Jesus, these people have issues. And, to be fair, it's not Flora's responsibility to take care of Louvinia's kids. I can see why she might be pissed that everyone's worried about the kids and her making her home suitable for the kids. They might have gotten a little farther by focusing on her enjoying her retirement in a comfortable, clean home. I mean, I guess that didn't last if she didn't stick with aftercare, and telling her she was finally free of the alcoholic and could enjoy her home now wouldn't have been as effective if she glorified him as much as the rest of the family....

WTF, Tahiry fricking CHUCKS two apples straight into his face, and no one does SHIT. Then she tries to put that bullshit back on him and he loses it briefly and well, I still have no idea what he actually was doing, but he was laying hands so no bueno. If they remotely gave a real crap about domestic violence, they should have kicked Tahiry out already.

Yeah, I guess I just got the impression at that moment that

It was extremely weak since

`I read this and had to click through because my first thought was "Corey Chalmers?! Did a hoarder finally make him crack?" 🤣

Spam is YUMMY. Slice it thin-ish and pan fry it? It's like a fluffy ham steak. Dice it small, make lardons out of it, use it in little tacos? Or make a BLT bite like whatsherface made with blue cheese, but a crostini with a thin slice of fried spam, lettuce and tomato marinated in balsamic? Mwa! *chef's kiss*

Someone needs to get Sarah on some anti-anxiety meds. She's pretty much pathological at this point. She needs some therapy to deal with that and probably she still needs to deal with seeing her mom eekl over as a child.

I was at one of Chris's book signings and while he was signing it, I told him that I loved the way he told stories, either writing or acting; even back when he was on Glee "and the last few seasons were a total shit show", he did his damndest to spin gold out of the shit they gave him for storylines. He started laughing his ass off and agreed that it was a total shit show.

Oh, man, I wish there was a Clothed and Opinionated episode for this! Seth thinking he's hallucinating barbeque - cut to Bulent crunching his way through a roasted turtle. I would love to know how many days he survived without Suzanne. He ended up pretty much how I expected him to - crying weakly; or at least trying to but not having enough moisture to succeed. Dear god, I laughed so hard at him begging Bulent for water and then asking like he's being magnanamous offering the bow and arrows. Dude, he's gonna pluck those off your dead body and never look back. Keep pretending you're even participating in this thing. And then riding off into the sunset calling it "redemption!" like he wasn't just riding on Suzanne's coattails the entire time.
