Well I think this is the first time I ever cried during EHG! RIP Mr. Hooper.
I've cried from laughing, but this was a whole other thing. I agree with Tara, I'm glad they didn't use any euphemisms, they just said "died." I was also glad they didn't try to say anything like "he's gone to a better place" or some other vaguely religious reference to an afterlife.
Dave's Squarespace voice sounds remarkably like his Gordon Lightfoot voice.

It's so true, Brandon fits for so many of these! I probably would have picked Steve for lust. Pre-Clare, he was portrayed as the most overtly horny of the bunch. And Steve's dad (Rush?) for greed. Dylan for sloth -- did he ever do anything productive? I just remember him surfing and reading pretentious novels. And sulking, which I think should be it's own deadly sin.

The whole Simms plot line was way too coincidental, showing up right after the tornado wanting to buy the place. It made me think he was actually a heavenly surrogate a la Jonathan in "The Lord is My Shepherd." But nope, he's just a weirdo who forgot for a second that he's too old to work a farm and who has enough money to throw away on fixing someone else's damaged property. Wait, if he has that much money to waste after a lifetime of farming, Pa should beg him to come back and provide some badly needed farmer lessons.
Side note: "YOU lost a crop to a tornado? No way! I once lost a crop to a tornado!" No shit, farmboys, it's the prairie. Tornados are not exactly once-in-a-lifetime occurrences.

Thank you for detailing all the ways in which Steve would not know how to clean a house! Nor do I believe it would actually occur to him to do so.
ETA: David must be keeping all his BDSM equipment in those cargo pants.

According to Ken Burns' Vietnam documentary, they were aware of PTSD after the Civil War and called it "Soldier's Heart."

The kids' machinations in getting permission from all their parents to go were totally realistic. As was the parents' willingness to abdicate any decision making responsibility: "Oh, another parent said yes? Great! Now I don't have to put any thought into it!"

I don't know why Kelly talks about Brandon's "thick male ego" like it's cute and endearing and not exasperating and enraging.
That red two-piece looks great on Donna.
Steve should not be at all surprised that Rush is skeevy. Moral ambiguity is hereditary! And is he not the OWNER of the paper? Brandon sure likes to pick and choose his moments of "journalistic integrity." Even that dolt should know running this story themselves, with the owner being a subject and the publisher being his son, would ruin any chance the paper has of building credibility in the community.

Really, Merline? You were surprised to hear your mentor say that color wasn't enough to make the two looks go together? That seems like a very basic concept that any designer would understand. She and Candace should have gone home for sure.
I would dearly like to what Whoopi's "Mmmmhmmmm" meant when Isaac said he didn't mind seeing a crotch. Was she giving him side-eye, or agreeing with him?

That was awesome, Eve! I miss that show so much. And I really miss my "Who's Your Spy Daddy?" shirt.

After seeing that pic of Brandon looming behind Kelly in their room, I was really hoping Dave was going to bring Dracula to the podcast. Brandon was staring directly at her neck like it was dinner.

Great Kimmy Schmidt discussion. (And the nonac music, with Sarah's infectious laughter, is always a delight.) Dave's comment that Tina Fey is being stubborn rather than ignorant seems spot on.

Brandon's storyline is at least way more realistic than when everyone was throwing jobs and awards at him despite his shitty writing. It's also realistic that he thinks he's way too good for the perfectly decent jobs he's being offered in smaller markets. He's what my dad would have called "too big for his britches," though of course he's way too small for his actual britches.

Philip is so full of shit at the end of this episode. He's implying that he's always been there for her and always will be, but in reality he's there for her when he feels like it/when his guilt catches up to him. The only sincerity in that scene is his naked desire that she believe she can trust him and lean on him, but even he knows he doesn't deserve that trust. He can't even look her in the eye when he says he loves her.

Elizabeth and Philip are terrible at communicating with each other, especially Philip. We saw in flashback why the school meant so much to him, and why he thought it would make Charles a better adult, but instead of explaining any of that he went straight to demands and then to threats. Elizabeth gives him a LOT of leeway, it's not unreasonable to think that she could have been swayed by a genuine conversation about it.

I really object to the whole idea that Elizabeth's success in Ghana was only in response to some mean girl burn book bullshit. Women! So catty, amiright?! I hated every part of this episode that had a Kennedy in it, and loved every part with Elizabeth. All the Kennedy stuff felt so false, especially the idea that Jackie would have had such a loose tongue, first at the dinner party and then spilling all her marital woes to QEII. But Elizabeth's triumph in Ghana was delicious.

Thinking anew, I don't think that Mike Parker's letter would have accepted as a proof in the divorce court as there were no details. He could have claimed that it was only boasting such as men used to do.
Yeah, I kept expecting him to start yelling at everyone that it was JUST LOCKER ROOM TALK.
So Tommy's clever idea for getting Mrs. Parker not to divorce her husband was just to show up and ask her not to? I was expecting something more nefarious than that, or at least more persuasive. Was it really just taken for granted that if someone from the palace told her to do something, to subjugate her own needs for the Crown's, she'd of course acquiesce? And when she didn't they had exactly zero other ideas for how to handle the situation. Though I didn't like her "my whole life has been favors for you people" speech. They didn't show any history to support the idea that she'd been misused by anyone except her shitty husband, and she was probably thrilled to be "in" with the royal family at first. It just seemed to come out of nowhere.

I hope you look to the sky and shake your fist when thinking of your math competition nemesis.
I find it very hard to believe that there were TWO possibilities for where they could have gotten off the train to get home. -
"People do it all the time" is a terrible rationalization for having a baby.

I'm totally here for Dave's 2-minute Hobo recaps!

Nellie's evil grin when she hatches her plan is the best.
I guess Jason is an upgrade from that dumb knob Johnny Johnson. But it seems the pickings in Walnut Grove were slim indeed. -
"He seems tidy" is as good a reason to marry someone as any. Or that they look like John Denver. John Denver forever!
I am shocked that Kelly Taylor wound up being Tara's "Marry." Waking up next to cat butt mouth and baby voice every day? I'd rather listen to Joey Potter sing "On My Own" every day for the next 50 years.
What's with all the people submitting kids as options? No one wants to participate in that thought experiment.
Kim Reed, when you're done with Miss Beadle's biography, please let us know if it was worth the read!

Are we supposed to think that Kelly's not going to go to Columbia for grad school because of Brandon? Terrible decision-making, Kelly. Take a page out of Susan's book and do what's best for your career, don't stick around for that dingleberry!

Its sad because I think Jennie Garth is really funny, she was on that short lived WB show with Amanda Baynes and she was really funny in it.
I forgot about that show, but I actually really liked it! A way better version of Jennie Garth, for sure.
I call bullshit that Kelly would mock Clare's hair but not Donna's. It's really a tossup who's is worse.

"But it's not 'Bringing in the Sheaves,' so who gives a shit?" Love.
I don't believe for a second that Ma would be tricked by the necklace dude. She's the smartest one in that household by far.-
