    After zero contact she just turns up?  Presumably with a lot of luggage.  Why didn't she contact whoever had set all this up? What if her room-mate wasn't home?  Or was on holiday?  Was she going to camp out on the front doorstep until someone turned up?

    Have they acknowledged the pandemic on the show?  I wouldn't just show up at anyone's house these days.  Not that a cancer survivor has anything to worry about if they contract the disease....

    And what happened to Charlie? Why is she an infant again? She's at least 6 months old if not older, isn't she? When Eddie came home though, Charlie was presented to him to kiss as an infant (very obviously fake).

    THIS!  Exactly what I was thinking.   The curious case of Charlie Dixon.

    All the scenes with Maggie in Oxford irritated me to no end.  What kind of idiot flies to a foreign country (for a year no less) without getting an international phone plan and $50 worth of local currency?  

    Stupid contrived story for Maggie.  Looks as though they put in five minutes of thought to come up with it.  Probably less.

    Random other thoughts:

    • Agree, I liked that Gary stayed with Katherine.
    • Theo is useless.  And annoying.  Needs to leave the show.
    • Maggie is useless.  And annoying.  Needs to leave the show.  No idea at all why she's featured.
    • Delilah's speech to Maggie after Maggie said perhaps she should come "home" -- what random cliche generator wrote that?  Who is Maggie to these people?  So bad it was laughable and Delilah doesn't do fake sincerity well.
    • I hated Gina's hair.

  3. I would not have been shocked if the surprise they were hinting at regarding someone from the BBT turned out to be Professor Proton.  There were multiple references to him in the episode.  Perhaps that was misdirection b/c they had told everyone to listen for a BBT reference at the end of the episode.   Amy's voice and naming their son Leonard was wonderful and much better than what I was thinking.

  4. I can't recall -- does David pay alimony to benefit his children? 

    Overall an extremely realistic depiction of what many families are going through with Covid, but I have to admit that I am really tired of watching the Conner family struggle financially and I found this episode terribly depressing.

     My one complaint is they didnt have a blueberry.

    I know Gus referenced the car they did drive...something about two steering wheels, I think. 

    Wonderful to see the cast again.  I felt Juliet and Chief Vick had weak parts here and didn't do much with them, Henry was better in this movie, felt that Corbin Bernsen was more invested this time around.  Not enough McNabb or Woody.

    James and Dule were wonderful, of course.  Never cared for Sarah Chalke and she didn't change my mind here.  Not warming up to Jazmyn Simon but if she makes Dule Hill happy that is good enough for me.  Nice casting with Joel McHale, well done.  Allison Miller was useless.

  6. Joey Fatone -- am I the only one who dislikes him?  I've been watching GSN from time to time checking out the new quiz shows.  Well, new to me.   On Common Knowledge Fatone comes across as a game show host wannabe.  From the way he enters the stage, to the sometimes clashing tie/handkerchief, to the way he reads the questions and answers.  It's all wrong and to me it's cringeworthy.

  7. Really bad episode, I don't think I liked much of anything.  Ben is a good addition to the show, so that's a plus.  Jackie needs to be completely changed, such a shame for a talented actress.  Darlene, the less said the better. 

    It's like they made the worst decisions for Dan and Becky and stuck with them.  I'm already not watching live....may not watch at all next year although I do have such a fondness for the Conner family (Roseanne included).  And I like Louise too.

    I HATED the car ride between Sophie and her grandfather.  So Jon wasn't always the perfect husband?  That doesn't give Delilah license to have an affair with his married best friend.  That was such a cop-out to resolve Sophie's completely understandable resentment towards her mother.

    Why on earth would Sophie believe what her grandfather said when he didn't even know who he was talking to?  He has memory issues, maybe what he said about Jon was accurate, but maybe it wasn't.

  9. I'm adding myself to the list of people not particularly enjoying this season. Perhaps I'm just bored with the concept.  

    I would like to see one challenge as a "surprise us".  Contestants have to make a dessert that represents them -- their style, or taste, or heritage or geographic location.  There are no restrictions other than time and there are no "twists".  No shouts of "25 minutes bakers!!!!!!"   And while I'm at it, no fake tears (last night's tears when the ear cookies fell on the floor and when the boy was eliminated were fake, fake, fake).

    The "imposter" shows are my least favorite.

    Saleem needs to go, he should have been sent instead of Elise.  It seems he's there more for exposure vs a love for baking.  

    Naima needs to cut down on the cutesy act and focus.  She's quite a good baker but she's obviously loving being in front of cameras.

    Came here to post the exact same things! 

    I've never liked the imposter episodes.  I think this year's were some of the worst as far as resembling the assigned food.  Glad it's over for this year.

    Naima patting herself on her back during the eliminations -- not cool.  Somewhere during the baking she announced that she looks good.  Preening for the camera.  I do think she's cute and talented, has a style of her own and is well put together.  AndI think the other kids like her.   Maybe I should cut her some slack. 

    Saleem.....definitely needs to go.  Doesn't seem to have the talent the others do.  I'm not sure why he's there.

    One of the boys, and yeah, it would help if I knew their names, has reached an annoying level himself.  I'll have to pay closer attention next week to see who it is.

    I can't swim and hated undressing in front of all the other girls. They also made us wear school issued swimming suits which flattered no one.

    Yes!  The awful high school swim suits, looked horrible when dry, even worse when wet.  We were required to pass a number of swimming and endurance tests in order to graduate.  These included treading water, diving in head first and swimming underwater.  I was fortunate, I enjoyed swimming, but I had a friend who had to repeat swimming instruction over and over again because she was afraid to dive.

    Meanwhile, to make this a Young Sheldon post -- does anyone know how many episodes Craig T Nelson will appear?  Has he been made a member of the cast now? 

    Mary is getting very close to being an annoying character, both gullible and lying.  I thought George was the wiser parent this week. 

    The cup was the best part of the episode with Welcome to the Dark Side a close second.

    Oh god, could Elliot maybe kill himself? Nash DID hint that there was more coming in the Danny/Elliot plotline and that it would be heartbreaking.   But would Gary and all of them go to Elliot's funeral? Seems hard to believe, no?

    Perhaps Delilah will ask them to go -- to comfort Danny.  And you don't have to personally know a child to find his death heartbreaking. 

  13. Still trying to make sense of this episode, especially regarding the dog(s) and I am relieved that they did not have a scenario where an animal was injured.  Nash had done some strong hinting that Colin fans would be in for a rough time so I was concerned there.

    Everything was ok until Maggie got "Colin" out of her car and Gary appeared.  Gary had already said goodbye, it was emotional and painful and it should have stopped there.  Returning "Wesley", who proved he knew his name at the park, was the correct albeit painful thing to do.  I did notice that the dog, in this case supposed to be Colin, did not recognize the neighborhood, the house or the woman.   No way that would have happened.  And the dog didn't seem to know Gary either, Gary should have realized something was wrong although I suppose we can chalk that up to his being so distraught.   Maybe the dog was just a bad actor?

    So here we are.  Gary did not switch the dogs, Maggie did.  Once he found out Gary seems to believe that the "old" woman wouldn't know,   That's on him.  At this point once Gary thinks it over he should take Colin back and swap him for the rescue dog admitting there was a mix-up with two similar dogs.   He should ask for visiting rights with Colin/Wesley and he should adopt the rescue animal.

  14. I would be so relieved if it turns out that Colin isn't the one to die.  I didn't watch last night, was waiting to see what people said about the episode before I did.

    So that means Colin is likely NOT the season 2 death. So, we're back at square one: either one of the main character's family members or Barbara Morgan and her husband, so Rome and Regina take PJ in.

      As someone said in a thread a few weeks ago having Barbara Morgan and her husband die so Rome and Regina "adopt" PJ somewhat resolves the child issue for R & R.  And apparently I'm happier to contemplate the deaths of two humans over the death of one dog.  Not sure what I'd be thinking if this were real life but I suspect I'd still favor the dog or at least this specific dog over those specific people.

    Great idea!  Why didn't the show think of that?  She could've also had Rose as her middle name, and they could call her Danni Rose.  So cute.

    Roseanne Roseannadanna?     Danni Roseannadanna?
