    S13.E07: Custard Week

    in The Great British Bake Off

    I’m late to the season, but son watched it and didn’t like Sandro.  His obvious competitive nature seems slightly inappropriate in context with this show.

    I knew Kevin needed to go, but I am glad it was at least on a high of that custard tasting so good.

    Exactly.  She didn’t try to bully anyone - just said she was uncomfortable with the storyline and asked to be written out of the episode.  I applaud the show runners, who first asked if she wanted her character to argue against Natalie’s plan, for agreeing to send Blair out of town that week.

    I don't get how Lisa W. was ok with the storyline that Nancy and Roger had sex before marriage but she was so against Natalie losing her virginity In the First Time.

    IIRC Lisa became more dedicated to her church’s beliefs over time.  I am someone who isn’t bothered by her respectfully asking not to be involved in an episode that made her uncomfortable.  It’s not like she put the show on blast or tried to shut it down, just asked for the week off.  In one interview she said she still isn’t sure if she made the right decision.

    Autocorrect is not my friend

    MASH gave Frank very new few notes, but Larry played them gracefully whenever he got the chance.  The show runners were smart not to try to replicate the character.   Charles was a good antagonist and rounded character.

    Whether its hospitals, schools or something else the employer doesn't care and won't do anything unless they are forced too.

    And their PR is so good that they will convince huge swaths of people that the strikers are the ones being greedy.

    Friends - General Discussion

    in Friends

    I remember the lottery episode hitting home to me because I worked in a small office, and when the lottery became legal in our state we played it as a group.  All of the things they described on the show essentially happened to us:  some staff complained that $20 per month was too much, and they thought the higher ups should be footing the bill; some people mocked the fun because of the odds; the secretary in charge of the effort sent out a memo with her separate numbers so if she hit on those we wouldn’t be asking for our cut.  Only a couple of times did we hit anything, but it was never more than $200, which we agreed she could just use for the next month without our input.  I don’t know if she enjoyed organizing it, but we had some fun planning our big adventures with the winnings, and yes some wanted to invest.

    Pacino's over the top scenery chew of Scent of a Woman

    I always thought Chris O’Donnell should have told the headmaster which students damaged his car so I have always hated Al Pacino’s big speech at the end (“I’ve been around you know. 🙄)

    No final words to the man who's headed up POTUS's security detail for the previous eight years???

    I had given up on the show about halfway through the first season without Sorkin, but I came back for the last few episodes and wondered if there had been some fallout I had missed.  They blew it there.

    Another missed opportunity (mostly because Sam was always my favorite character) was when Bartlett commiserated with Santos about Kennedy screwing up the curve for inaugural addresses, but said Santos got some good lines in.  I would have liked Bartlett to add, “Sam?” and have Santos nod.  I thought it would have been a nice callback to Sam’s ability as a speech writer.

    “I think if what you’d do for your last day on Earth doesn’t look like a pretty normal day for you, you probably need to reexamine your life.”

    Eh, I think that sentiment is horseshit.  If I knew today was my last day on Earth, I wouldn't be at work and I wouldn't clean my house and a thousand other things which one absolutely has to do on a normal day.  I'd be lying on a beach, probably reading a book which I'd never need to return to the library.

    Very few people can get away with not paying bills, but most of us wouldn't care about them if we knew there was no tomorrow.

    I chose not to take it that literally.  YMMV.
