OK I waited until the finale to comment on this show.
They showed the shark too early. I wish they had spent S1 with character expo rather than revealing right from the jump that she was keeping Sir in a cage. I understand that's the entire hook of the show but now that hook is gone. I would have preferred it that they kept that reveal for the end of the season, showing her being held captive and spending time getting to know the background of the other characters and why they work for M&A, as they all seem to have connections to being abducted. This episode felt like a way to have him escape rather than be a true missing person case. The previous case with the trafficked children would have made a better finale because it naturally tied in with her real life teacher-student-abduction story.
The best thing they have done with this show, especially the prev episode, was to show how children are REALLY groomed. MPG has been excellent in this role. Perhaps now that the cat's out of the bag, they will focus on the backstories but I doubt it since I'm sure there will be legal ramifications to deal with regarding the reveal and also Lacy's upcoming scenario with Sir.

On what planet did Brad think he could beat Sarah at a final tribal? Nobody on that jury would have voted for Tai, except maybe Aubrey, I don't care what Jeff's "what if" scenario said.

I'm listening to this 2 months after it was recorded and the scream-laughing had me in tears at my desk.

Glad to see Mike and Liz get eliminated because I was sick of the bickering. I enjoy Team Fun because they seem to be genuinely having a great time running this race and have embraced this season's gimmick of pairing up strangers.
I like Becca because she's got this Jeff Spiccoli-type vibe going that's entertaining.-

Her lounging was amusing. The munching on coconut was hilarious.
They should have picked her for the challenge - she swims well and could probably scamper across that beam like a cat.
I need to go watch Ponderosa now and see how fantastically awkward the Debbie - Ozzy reunion was.....-

See, when I first watched it, I was 90% sure he WAS trying to get more out of her. BUt watching the way he reacts when she comes over, when she explains "You can't take this money...because it's not enough?" he seems somewhat sincere when he says no. Plus, his explanation makes sense: he's screwed anyway. THen the meeting with Kooby and Huell, he seems really shocked at what's going on, and not in a "Didn't see this coming" way, in a "HOw did Skyler get this so wrong?" sort of way. It's confusing in the best of ways, and I totally undersold it when it first aired. I know she didn't go to the hospital in 5's season premiere to intimidate him, but she recognized how useful that situation was going to be, and had to take advantage. Jeez, I demand a national rewatch of this show.
I'm nearly at the end of my rewatch and that was one story-arc that I don't feel got cleared up. I agree, it seemed he was being sneaky at first. The look or horror on Skylar's face when she walked into Ted's hospital room was fabulous. Think about it, he's probably too cheap to have bought health insurance so the medical bills will destroy whatever life he might have had left. Another victim of Walt, really.

Wow, there will be so much to wrap up next week. How will they do it all? Obviously, there isn't going to be a long, drawn out trial (Romero kidnapping Norman ensured that). Until that happened, I was just saying "the hospital would have the (missing) psychiatrist's session notes somewhere, which would prove multiple personalities. That should get him acquitted." If this ends at the Motel/House, how will they get in there? The place is crawling with cops.
I think the scene with Emma and Norma(n) was one of the top 3 in this entire series. I watched it twice, the second time, I closed my eyes and listened to the switch between Freddie and Vera - it's really hard to tell who is speaking because he has adapted her speech mannerisms so well. When she asked to speak with "Norman", it almost looked like "Norma" was going to let it happen. I had hoped Emma would then run back to Dylan at the motel and be like "ok, I get it now. Let's help him."
I still couldn't pick up the relationship between Romero and his lady friend who healed him...who was she? Had we seen her before this season? She really wanted him to run off with her.
What an ending this will be!

I knew this was Luke Perry's last storyline because all of a sudden he's 50 years old. I think the spell wore off.

I know it's supposed to be an "all genders" bathroom sign that the camera lingered a little bit on, but it could also work as a pictograph depiction of Norman's state of mind. Sometimes he's Norman, sometimes he's Mother, sometimes he is both.
I noticed the sign also and didn't make that connection...good analysis. Very true.
The reflection of Mother in the glass was also a nice touch.
Mother doesn't realize that Norman almost walked away from this but she just couldn't stop meddling. I'm sure as soon as "she" started talking (calling the sheriff by her first name especially) it tipped her off that something wasn't "right". In the previous interview Norman gave, he was contrite, desperate and remorseful. Afterwards, he acted like a criminal after his lawyer got to him and I'm certain she saw right thru it. I love Vera but I wish Freddie had been on-screen during all of this and Norma was in the reflections only.
I was disappointed that the writers had Dylan describe Norman as "crazy" rather than "mentally ill". Up until now, they have done a great job avoiding the stereotype.
I thought Norma was going to pin Sam's murder on Marion, which would have made more sense, since all her stuff was gone and she peeled out of the parking lot and left evidence.

Sandra ranks with the best players this game has ever had. I was impressed last week and this week I was glad she at least gave her best effort to make it through the tribal, rather than just lying down. I'm also glad that the other players (from their points of view) were able to articulate just how she does it. Her manner of speaking (at tribal), her calmness, her choice to lay low when other players might obnoxiously advance in that situation and most of all, her skills at observation are what got her to be a two-time winner. Ozzy was practically hypnotized after that meeting before the tribal. As proof, here was Cochran, also a good player, schooling Debbie - who is one of the stupidest players ever - on how to play the social game, tone it down, observe more, know when to compliment, etc.. She's like the Pied Piper.
I could have watched her win a 3rd time and be thrilled about it. She could win 4 more times and I'd be good with it.
I'm rooting for Zeke or Aubry at this point. Tai is a goner.

As for Negan's story line, I hate him, too. I hated him before he came on, but I watch because I'm interested in the people and how they are going to survive this.
And I'm afraid we're in for a long haul, here. Kirkman LOVES Negan. From my understanding (I don't read the comics), he's here to stay. And I mean forever.
Then it must be the actor who plays him because this character to me is as one-note and boring as it gets. Maybe if they had introduced him at the halfway point of last season (and replaced that AWFUL Glenn under the dumpster crap) with a mid-season cliffhanger bat swing, we would have had more of an opportunity to appreciate him. Instead, it was "OMG Negan will appear soon" "Almost time for Negan" and the worst: "Who will Negan kill?"...massive ramp up then that SPEECH then THUNK. THUNK.. Right after....6 months off from Negan. Huh? I spent the whole time off pissed that they didn't reveal who got plunked as opposed to "Wow. That's tragic and powerful. This character is a badass."

Woof. Well, there's your half-season over. From tip to tail this entire Negan run has been an unmitigated disaster, but I'm actually kind of shocked at how quickly (and badly) it has gone completely off the rails in the 2nd half. Where to start...
...[snip everything you said - and it was all right on the money]...
Anyway, that closes the book on my bitching for another season.
I haven't watched Talking Dead yet and I don't know who the guests were but if it's Gimple and he tries to smugly explain this crap away AGAIN, I'll riot.

This entire monotonous storyline could have been cured if Shiva had just jumped onto Negan and tore his head off. Scratch that...tore his vocal chords out first so he couldn't monologue anymore. This show is stupid.

I must say, I got a bit sniffly at Sasha's demise. She died for nothing at all.
Agreed. However Sonequa Martin-Green is on to bigger and better things (and probably better writing!) with the new Star Trek series. Good for her. I will miss her.

Plus I did get a kick out of Rick slowly backing away when Jadis propositioned him, like, "No thanks lady, Ima pass on that."
It would have been more believable if she had hit on Michonne instead!

Edited to Add: I think a great final shot woulds be a pan in of the house and motel to the "closed" sign (showed last night) on the office door with the Psycho theme music playing. No one person shown before cutting to the credits, just the iconic house on the hill and murder motel closed for business.
I really like that idea because the house is just as much a character as the people, if not more so.
With last episode's twist I think they are setting it up for an ending sympathetic to Norman. I predict Romero and possibly the new Sheriff being offed, some kind of confrontation between Chick and Dylan and perhaps Norman's psychiatrist talking him off the ledge.

There really is just one word for the acting here: Outstanding. This needs to be Freddie's Emmy submission. It really doesn't get any better.
I never wanted a carbon copy of Psycho however I love the call-outs to the film. Was the music at the beginning, when Marion drives to the motel, the same as the film? If not, it was still a good choice. Sounded like a throwback to the 50's & 60's instrumental film soundtracks. The shower scene didn't need screechy violins, IMO. I remember my parents talking about going to see Psycho in the theater and my Dad's buddy jumped into his lap at one point. They joked about it for years.

So I'm not gonna Google it at work (lest Homeland Security descends upon my cubicle), but an entire CRATE of aspirin may come to be useful in some kind of explosive preparation, I would think...

I can't see how Heather/Maks won't win this, unless there is fan backlash and the judges continue to under score them. I wonder why on earth they cast her this year. She a pro.
One of these seasons they should pair the celebs with each other, ala "SYTYCD"-style, and have a professional coach them. -
When did Tara divorce Dave and marry Stephen Hawking?

OK I am on re-watch and just did a facepalm. When the kid gets shot, and the Saviours are getting ready to leave, Morgan very loudly says "we need to get him to Carol's, we loaded her up with all the medical supplies". Just me, or was that kind of dumb? Sloppy writing or something that is going to be used to move the plot along (since Morgan is now at Carol's and sharpening sticks with what I imagine to be an insane cackle in the background of his mind). I doubt the Saviours KNOW where the house is exactly, but it wouldn't take much to figure out that they're stockpiling medicine AWAY from the Kingdom.
This! I'm actually shocked that nobody driving by has seen her outside gardening and been like "let's hit that place, it's just some lady"

S01.E13: Missing While Forgotten
in Found
My thoughts exactly. There are parts of this show that are very good and parts that are very, very bad. This episode was not a good ending. How did Sir get the money for a super underground passport and money for a train ticket? How did he poison the dog, how did he erase security footage that's most likely backed up in the cloud with a password. Is this guy a genius? He's been chained to a bed for months. Did he cut his own foot off? How did he pick the locks? They made us watch all this dreck but we can't get a backstory on why Zeke won't leave his apartment? Or why Dhan keeps a cache of guns hidden in his wall? The only person who got character expo was Margaret.
