  1. Can someone explain the Caravaggio clue? I even got it right, but didn’t understand the wording of the clue. Thanks!
  2. Having no prior experience of these three finalists, I thought they were all fine. Ben isn't just sweet, but sweet in an odd, offbeat way. Troy is so focused and serious-seeming, it's a delight when he lightens up a little. And Yogesh never bugged me; he's a good player, and I even liked most of his jokes. None of them were absolute favorites compared to some quarter- and semi-finalists, but they were all watchable and worthy, for my money. Off to try and figure out what the Invitational is actually all about.
  3. I didn't understand the Ben and Troy's wagers in Final Jeopardy! Did they both make clever bets? (I'm pretty stupid about math generally.) Can someone explain?
  4. Thanks! I actually did miss this. Must have been folding laundry and just listening to audio at that point. Glad he's got that sweet dog. ETA oh good lord--I see what I did, missed the very final 20 seconds of the movie. That'll teach me! Glad I got to see that little dog again. He and Adrian look like a perfect match.
  5. I’d put off watching the movie because I’d heard it was very dark. Having just finished a series rewatch, I didn’t want to be jolted out of my Monk happy place. But watched Mr. Monk’s last case yesterday and enjoyed it. Question: several of you have mentioned Adrian moving on with the dog Watson as his companion as if it’s canon, but the movie I watched never made that explicit. Did I miss or inadvertently skip something?
  6. We saw Diana tell him Sid had been murdered, and he seemed to believe it. As a lover of the books, I wish they hadn't tipped off the Sid cover-up so early, but it's a minor quibble with a truly outstanding adaptation. Loved it, and have got my husband--who hasn't read the novels--totally addicted.
  7. "You did the right thing." How has NO ONE said this to Schmitt? "You did the right thing. You noticed that a patient's ID bracelet was incorrect--a pediatric patient at that--and you brought it to the attention of an Attending." How has NO ONE said this to Schmitt? This episode gave us one final opportunity, with Schmitt telling Meredith she must hate him. What does The Sun say? Does she say "You did the right thing?" No, she says, "I don't hate you. I still have my license and my job." Meredith, whose OWN ACTIONS nearly blew up her own and several other careers, lets Schmitt of the hook (where he shouldn't be, having done the right thing) because she got away with it. Not because he did the right thing (which he did). But because she got away with what she did.
  8. Bittersweet time for those of us who loved the New York CBS shows in their strongest years, as the beloved actors from that time have been passing away. Nice, though, to remember their careers and highlights from their work. It seems like a subscription streaming service would do OK offering all the old soaps, but maybe residuals and (as we've been talking about on this thread) music licensing would require too high a subscription cost to pay off. Anyway, wanted to say there have been some great Alan Locher interviews recently about late great actors. I was keeping an eye on his youtube channel during the lockdown and then forgot about it till this week. Shows about Michael Zaslow, Lisa Brown, and most recently Jerry verDorn. There are a few actors who show up regularly on these and who often have lovely stories to tell.

  10. To me, he seems older and more grounded than the others, this season at least.
  11. Anybody know who played the "lunch lord?" So handsome! I couldn't figure it out from imdb.
  12. Having seen Passing Strange on Broadway in 2008, I've been waiting for Daniel Breaker to sing on the show! Couldn't imagine they'd waste that voice. Worth the wait.
  13. and, in that same scene--while people our age are shutting down their lives, let's keep saying yes to everything. We'll die someday; let's be saying yes when we do. Loved that.
  14. The season was originally when parliament was in session, roughly October to May/June. Recess for the summer. Then I think it took on a life of its own and the schedule may have adjusted. But basically most of what we now think of as the school year. I'm enjoying S2 a lot. But this episode was a little ham-handed, at least the first half. The Bridgertons and Sharmas wouldn't have been openly cut by the whole ton like that. There would have been plenty of speculation, gossip, and giggling behind fans, but only in the case of an absolute scandal would they be openly shunned. And for my money, a more subtle version would have made for better television. But overall, like I said, really enjoying it all!
