I'm intrigued by the Kelsey Poe hints. They both feel she was actually far crazier than edited? Yikes!

Ha, maybe even Drill finds Minx too annoying to possess? "Okay, I'll travel across the universe and I'll talk to those kids, sure, but I draw the line at inhabiting that she-devil! Plus, have you met her mother?" [Kang/Kodos voice] Of course, we might have a better sense of what Drill really sounds like if this show ever broadcast AN ACTUAL GODDAMN WHISPER.

This. I don't even understand the more basic premise of how these children are always just wandering around on their own. I guess this is a vestige of the original short story being written in a different era? In today's world of helicopter parenting, it completely takes me out of the story every time a little kid walks up to a random car at night in a gas station parking lot, or rides the hospital elevators by him/herself. Where are the parents? Even if their parents are too stupid or preoccupied to be concerned, why isn't anyone else questioning these things? In real life someone would have called CPS by now. I'm not buying it. These kids are all old enough to know right from wrong, and none of them are presented as psychopaths (well, except Minx).

But who's "all happy and in love" around them at this particular moment, though? This was literally Day 1 of the show. Everyone was practically still introducing themselves. Kardashley and her sister both seem mentally unstable. Hopefully it's just all the booze making them cry constantly over nothing.

Good grief. Because evil children aren't bad enough, now they have to wear creepy masks too? I really don't understand this flood of children with no conscience. Seriously this creeper kid just stands there and watches someone get electrocuted without flinching in the slightest? Meanwhile his sister is stabbing people with syringes? No way that regular kids their age would go along with shit like this just to play a "game", right? I fear for humanity. Meanwhile, how did that kid manage to extubate himself? I also think I missed something in the beginning because I don't understand how Drill's BFF Lena, who spent the last episode shooting people at Drill's request, is not only wandering around outside of jail but also trusted with the inner workings of the investigation. How stupid are these people?

Not liking the news about Karen's trip to the doctor. PLEASE not pregnancy. These people are all too stupid to procreate.

Given that everything on these shows is scripted, posed, and reshot from multiple angles, I'm not buying that this was truly Esther and Caitlyn's first visit anyway.

Is the headmaster really allowed to date the mom of a current student? Hello, conflict of interest. Imagine having your principal show up to make you breakfast and make out with your mom when you were in elementary school. Gross.

Damn, these people are stupid. It seriously took DAYS before it finally dawned on Joss that maybe Calista could have been the killer? Seriously?

I find it fascinating that the producers, for all their "most shocking season ever!" nonsense, basically just completely recycled the script from Andi's season. At the end of the day we're left with a lead who strung her F2 along even though she allegedly knew her final choice from the beginning (or is now feigning such a claim to keep her oily bohunk meathead F1 from punching something), then acts like a bratty bitch because F2 "misunderstood" that the sex and I love yous weren't real, accompanied by much cackling and high-school cattiness. They even recycled the same damn F2, for crying out loud. Someone fire the writers. Ugh, don't forget Vienna and what's-his-face.

I love Jon and Trinity. The two of them teasing each other in the car about the moon/stop sign was the highlight of the episode. This is where the vast age difference (in appearance, not chronologically) really stands out to me. If I knew nothing about their relationship, I would guess that he is a sullen teenager embarrassed by his kooky mom's crazy antics. I find it fascinating that in her world it's perpetually 5 am and she's wrapping up a wild night of partying. Regardless of surroundings or time of day, she invariably looks like she needs a bath, a nap to sleep off whatever stimulants she's ingested, and a dose of penicillin.

Was it really pre-empted? The Bachelor/ette finales are always 3 hours long, so I would assume that the intention from the time the schedule was set was to use the 10-11 pm hour for the ATFR. In other words, this likely was not a response to the crappy ratings.

Every single ad I've seen for this looks terrible. Like, cringeworthy unfunny.

I couldn't even with 'Kiptyn'!

Love the elegant black-tie affair - everyone dresses to the nines while sitting around in what appeared to be a basement rec room, eating steaks off paper plates and salads without forks. Classy!

I was just coming here to post about that! 'Red Lobster's Crap Fest' - finally some truth in advertising.

So, killing Drill is somehow accomplished by killing off one of the other infested children? Awesome. Bye, Minx.

Come, come now - Kris is such an accomplished cook that has her own cookbook! [eyeroll] http://www.amazon.com/dp/1476728887/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=64258788516&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3711293849952470196&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_1w2dp4v1qc_b Though I did enjoy the Amazon review that suggests that eating the book would be a preferable experience to preparing any of the recipes.

This. I found them extremely annoying and hence last night's outcome was depressing, though I did love that Lockjaw's captain immediately ran over to congratulate them. Take some notes on classy behavior and sportsmanship, children. Also, I know I'm old, but the blue hair and the cats ears just make me snicker.

I love that the supporting evidence for Kanye being a father figure to Mason is that he took him to the movies one afternoon. The bar keeps getting set lower and lower for this family.

In fairness, though, 99% of Bachelor/ette contestants would have responded exactly the same way. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone who responded "What the eff is this nonsense? No thanks!" to any date suggestion on the show, other than the ones who were freaked out due to a specific phobia (and even then, they invariably still carried it out, after much dramatic coaxing). And a lot of them had far worse than a bed in a damp prison to contend with - like poor Carly and the icky sex coach last season. ETA: Forgot about Tony and the wrestling refusal. But that turned out to be more of a referendum on the whole show rather than refusing one specific date but still wanting to be there.

I love Trinity. She's almost always the voice of reason. The anti-Eva jealousy pileup was ridiculous, but I'm also over Eva - there is just something off about her. Not sure if she's lazy, not too bright, on drugs, or just a typical entitled millenial, but her blank stares and constant whining about working hard are annoying. She seriously expected to be done training after six days? And don't get me started about Jonathan. I know he's her manager, but why is he just sitting there watching her all day long? Is she not allowed to interact with a male trainer without her husband's watchful eye? Get a real job, creeper. Nattie continues to drive me up the wall. So much for the big dramatic breakup with TJ last season. And I too caught the catty "this almost feels like losing friends" statement to the Bellas. She still looks old enough to be TJ's mom. Hell, she looked older than her own mom. Color me shocked, SHOCKED! that the Bellas aren't actually leaving. Nikki's weird flirtatious little-girl cooing act with her boss was absolutely horrifying. Way to set the women's movement back fifty years.

The part about this that annoys me the most is that Kris is validated - she always thought he was beneath her daughter and now she's proven right. Nothing that fuels Kris' massive ego further can possibly be a good thing.
