    it's a small thing, but I really don't like they way they're styling Keeley this season. Something about the hair and the makeup, Juno Temple just looks so... harsh, or something

    She looks gaunt. I don’t know her from anything other than this show, but from pictures of her that I’ve seen online, she wasn’t always so thin.

    turned Ted's son's therapist into his exes boyfriend

    No, Jake is Dr. Jacob, their former marriage therapist. Which is why it’s unethical for him to be dating Ted’s ex-wife.

  3. I don’t remember the last time I saw an actual matchbook. I have a box of matches in my kitchen for emergency purposes, but I almost always use a barbecue lighter for candles.

    The false start to the theme song, interrupted by Colin hitting the trash can?  Comedy.  Gold. 

    I didn’t even notice that when I watched, so I had to go back and look for it 😄

    Burr's monologue is probably the best in the entire history of the franchise. I use variations on it all the time when I'm pissed off at work because people are just gaming rules as they suit

    It’s my favourite episode of the whole series.

  6. The dogfight at the beginning was exciting - I particularly enjoyed R5 succumbing to gravity 😄 And Grogu standing beside Mando’s head as he regained consciousness 🥲❤️

    As far as the Dr Pershing story, meh. I enjoyed the worldbuilding (while hoping to see Carson Teva 😄), and I’m hoping that the story will have greater ramifications overall. I found it interesting that some aspects of the New Republic bear uncomfortable similarities to the Empire, but perhaps this is an established fact of which I’m unaware! 😄

  7. Yes! That was such a powerful line, but so quietly spoken - no drama, no nothing. But it showed how far she’s come on their journey together, how far they both have.

    I never buy TV seasons on iTunes, but it just came out yesterday and I’m soooo tempted - I watched all the episodes on my computer and I just want to be able to sit on my bed and watch them with my Apple TV 😄

    Oh, bless you. This is the image I needed today after that very grim and sobering finale! Thank you for this. I especially love the fact that even giraffes are visibly helpless against the power of Pedro Pascal. (Let's face it, Pedro could probably cure real-world cordyceps with a smile or a dad joke.)

    And that scene reminded me of Jurassic Park, when the kids and Sam Neill are up in the tree feeding the brachiosaurus (and then it sneezed on them 😄).

    His shootout through the hospital reminded me of nothing so much as the police station shootout in Terminator. Just mercilessly killing people without anything approaching remorse

    Yes, that’s exactly what I thought while I was watching it. Especially the shots of the shotgun shells/cartridges (whatever) falling around his feet as he walked.

    Would it be possible for the gardens of the world, especially the commercial ones, to have reseeded themselves during this time?   Could a tomato bed that was abandoned after the fungus, with its fruit dropping to the ground and seeds getting buried, survive? Could some of those seeds survive and grow the next year?  Could a potato field keep itself going for a while?  If so, people should be heading to farmland to see what may be left. 

    I'm also thinking there should be wild strawberries, blueberries, fruit trees...

    This makes me think of the seed archive somewhere in Scandinavia - I think it’s managed by the Norwegian government. 
     

    (I wish I knew how to do quote tags)

    The Svalbard Global Seed Vault(Norwegian: Svalbard globale frøhvelv) is a secure backup facility for the world's crop diversity on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergenin the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago. The Seed Vault provides long-term storage of duplicates of seeds conserved in genebanksaround the world. This provides security of the world's food supply against the loss of seeds in genebanks due to mismanagement, accident, equipment failures, funding cuts, war, sabotage, disease and natural disasters. The Seed Vault is managed under terms spelled out in a tripartite agreement among the Norwegian government, the Crop Trust, and the Nordic Genetic Resource Center (NordGen).

    Also, I love the phrase "massive nonce" and am going to start using it as soon as possible when I encounter a frustrating doofus.

    I’m partial to “pillock” and “bellend” myself, but I gather the latter is not altogether polite 😄
