If you google the original illustration of Tweedledee and Tweedledum, you’ll see it’s definitely an insult. They’re not just identical, they’re identically stupid. But somehow Kyle doesn’t seem like the literary reference type, so Andy probably made it up. I half expected that ball to pop when Andy bit it. Wouldn’t that have been great? Alas, that ball was made of sterner stuff.

Why is her face so dirty? Nobody else looks that dirty. She also seems to have smudged black eyeliner. If she brought eyeliner as her personal item (they used to be allowed one personal item, but I don’t know of that is still true) why does it always look so messy…like she slept in it? It’s not a tattoo like her eyebrows. I imagine putting on makeup without a mirror might account for it. I bet she won’t be thrilled when she sees herself on tv.

I’m glad that Alison wasn’t hurt when she fell off that table. I knew it was going to happen, thanks to Facebook, but her reaction was hilarious, just lying facedown, laughing too hard to get up. And then when she wanted to demonstrate what she had been trying to do, everybody was saying, “no, no, don’t” I did notice that she was limping a bit afterwards.

So glad to see the last of Rome, pre jury. He was exhausting…one of those people who have to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. Of course he did the maze, of course he sat in Jeff’s seat! At first I thought that there would be a last minute switch, even at tribal, but then I realized that they were playing the episode for comedy, featuring Rome’s boasting against what we knew was about to happen. I thought it was fun, though I do wish the food reward winners would have been allowed to wash first. I’m sure they wanted to, so TPTB must have said no, for whatever inscrutable reason. Hey…Sam ate a piece of pineapple! And he liked it! Next week he graduates to strained peaches, like a big boy.

I just couldn’t deal with that Hanoi woman with the 34 boxes of clothes and accessories! I mean, how many clothes can a person wear? And we’re not even talking about changes of seasons. I’m sure it gets cold at some point, but it’s not Canada! It sounds like she’s always buying new stuff and not wearing what she already has. And if she, like my late husband, has clothing in 20 different sizes, it’s time to get rid of what doesn’t fit. Sorry. OTT conspicuous consumption just bothers me. So she picked the apartment she didn’t prefer just so she could cram 3 bedrooms with clothes..well, good for her, I guess. She is a special ed teacher, so that is a noble calling. I’m not sure I would choose Hanoi as the place to meet men, but what do I know? I’m 73 and won’t be swiping left or right anytime soon.

S01.E01: The 6:10 to Lubbock

It wasn’t terrible, but how are we supposed to root for them when we know that they’re not going to work out? -
S02.E08: Shadow and Flame
Jodithgrace replied to paulvdb's topic in The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power
I guess if they can morph “Hold the door!” Into Hodor, the can morph Grand Elf into Gandalf. I too wondered if Adar was going to become Celeborn when he put on the ring and said he had been known by many names. He and Galadriel seemed to have so much chemistry. I was waiting to see Sauron put that crown on and become the Sauron we all know and hate instead of emo elf Sauron. -
I knew nothing about Anna Delvray until I googled her, but I was surprised at how devoid of personality she was. I would have expected a con artist to be oozing charm, but maybe now that she’s been caught, she doesn’t have to bother. I’m rooting for Stephen and the other Olympian. I didn’t know about Eric Roberts’ issues but I couldn’t watch him after he couldn’t get down the stairs. Why incorporate stairs into a routine when your dancer can’t navigate them cleanly? It got the whole dance off to a bad start and I found myself looking at my iPad in secondhand embarrassment.

Thailand: The husband was expanding his non profit (very unspecified) from Honduras to Thailand, which is why the move. The big yard house was the obvious choice, so they had to have the wife being concerned about the house needing TLC. They were all easy fixes, though unless the husband did the work himself, contracting it out might have been a problem with the language barrier. They seemed to be a really nice couple.

So, when season 3 begins are the “previouslies” just going to be all of season 2? I hope so, because no way am I going to remember all this.

The best part of this finale was the new ending to the tapestry with all the dragons. When Daemon says, “winter is coming,” I realized that there has been no mention in this prequel of the weird weather patterns that were such a big part of GOT. Are they in the middle of one of those ten year summers? It finally dawned on me that we probably weren’t going to get World War Dragon when I got up to go to the bathroom and saw that there was only about three minutes left in the episode. I guess they used up their dragon budget during the last few episodes and have to save the battle for next year. If there is a battle, that is. With Alicent taking Helaena and noping out of there, and Larys doing the same with Aegon, the only one left to fight is Aemond. Of course, he’s crazy, so… So now we know why Otto hasn’t returned any of Alicent’s texts. That prison wagon didn’t look like it had WiFi. Were we supposed to recognize any of his fellow prisoners? I didn’t. That pirate Queen was quite a character. It’s always funny seeing a Lannister taken down a notch or twelve. He wasn’t exactly one of the more arrogant Lannisters, though, was he? It did seem weird to me to introduce this new character in the last episode of the season.

Phouc screwed over his team by using onion in the cabbage rolls as well as leeks. Styxx had said no onions because she wanted to use peperoncini, but he used onions anyway and it would have been too many ingredients. Everybody questioned why they used two redundant ingredients and the dish was bland. Nobody especially liked the mushroom tempura either. On Austin’s team, they weren’t crazy about the scotch egg, but loved the other two courses. I think that’s why they won.
