  1. I really hate what they're doing to Bernie now. Does anyone want to take a bet on the odds that she's confiding in the wrong person? She shouldn't be talking to ANYONE at her new station, especially her roomie (if that is what the older border agent is).
  2. Thank you! I was so sick of her, as well as Duffy's pathetic accent. Also agree about the Long Fight (yawn) I really only watched it because I am a HUGE Alan Richson fan. This episode especially was just preposterous and boring, despite the amazing body count. I wonder how they just hand waved aside all those deaths? I can't remember watching anything that had less suspense.
  3. Isn't he the choreographer for the deb dance? Not a favorite episode (aside from adorable Betty, of course) - not a fan of the spoiled, super annoying teen. And yes, I understand, as Will himself helpfully pointed out, she is a representation of his own thoughts. One thing I didn't understand - why Will now thinks she is a hero (or some term he used) because she was going to investigate the pills? She was the one who publicized her former friend's hospitalization, was a total bully etc. So all of that was swept aside because of one intended good action? Added: Loved the refrigerator murder board.
  4. I'm sorry, I guess I am a pretty horrible person but I am sick to death of the constant "Teresa" "Teresa" we have to save Teresa. Yeah, I get she's a person and an informant and I would not like her to harmed, but Duffy should really be focused on the big picture. Speaking of Duffy - that intermittent NY (or whatever) accent isn't doing her any favors if it's supposed to an indicate her toughness. I'm glad there was quite a bit of Alan Richson fan service in this episode, from his actions (my primary reason for watching) to his physical presence. Ahem . . . .
  5. Much as I enjoyed the revelations produced in this episode, I feel they could have been done in half the time.
  6. Not a bad start, but I thought it was obviously from the very beginning that Reacher was being set up to be inserted in some probably nefarious gang because he was so out of character. I agree with the poster above who expressed some concern about Neagley having a major part - the appeal to me is that Reacher is not just a loner (by choice) but that he is so awesomely self-contained. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season -
  7. I'm not gonna lie, my favorite part of this was the light up mariachi hats.
  8. This whole season -except for this last episode, in which there was some plot advancement - was a colossal waste of time. Not to mention being so ridiculously dark in the 2nd silo (16? ) as to be unwatchable for me. It seems it was a colossal waste of time for the Silo residents, as well - they're back, really, to square one, in which it is dangerous to go outside. Was the whole last scene only to set up something with the Pez dispenser, or were we supposed to recognize the people? I don't think the fact that a dirty bomb was deployed should have been a surprise to anyone, why else would the environment be so hostile to life. I guess I better go read some recaps.
  9. I can't believe how disappointed I am in that whole Juliette business. Boring and dark. Filler.
  10. I can't believe how disappointed I am in this season, after really liking it previously. I really don't want to see any more, dimly lit scenes of Juliette macGyvering her way around the second Silo., and while I am a HUGE Steve Zahn fan, he seems like totally AI here. I think it would have been much better from a story telling perspective for her to have been able to interact with more people, perhaps by having her find her way to a Silo with different social aspects from her own for comparison. I think it was just a cheap way to have that dramatic opening scene of Silo 18, and all the bodies (and I still refuse to believe that every single person - except Solo, if he is a person - died in that one incident.) On the other hand, loving Bernard and the original silo gang. Not sure why they felt it necessary for the show to have an actual, recognizable actor like Iain Glen for such a pretty routine role.
  11. Love the show, but this episode was a COLLOSAL waste of time. Also, as other have mentioned, too dark. I don't see any point in having Juliette flashbacks at this point, we know she is an engineer/tinkerer. I'm giving the show the benefit of the doubt, at least until the next episode, because I really liked how S1E10 really tied things up, in terms of relating to the clues (so to speak) we were given throughout the season.
  12. I was just lucky to catch it, only because the DVR was set to record the series from before. It was nice seeing them all again, although I got a laugh out of how tall Max is now.
  13. That was so enjoyable, they are all lovely people and none of them produced embarrassing bakes. I'm a faithful watcher, but I remembered none of them, including Carol's fright wig which should have been pretty memorable. Poor r George, he was lucky his flavors were good. I felt sorry for Sophie, who clearly felt the pressure of being an actual past winner, but I thought her idea to incorporate bread in her showstopper was strange. I am glad she was Star Baker, though, she deserved it. I just can't express how much I love Allison, her warmth and humor are amazing. Also funny: Not just Amelia's vagina remark, but that Dan said he'd never seen a vagina!
  14. First, let me say how much I enjoyed the final (I think the right contestants made it through) and the series as a whole. What a lovely bunch of people. Even though Dylan had a truly bad first day, I don't think he would have won even if it that hadn't happened and everything went perfectly. I know I am old and a bit of a traditionalist (although always open to new flavors and techniques), but I don't think his showstopper in any way was at the level of the other two. Unless he just didn't have time to put a TON of decorations on it, it was a very poor design choice, as was his decision to use a genoise as the sponge. My favorite thing: Georgie rolling down the hill. I guess that was arranged, she seemed to be wearing pants under her dress.
  15. I thought that Gill should have been sent home (regardless of everyone's bakes) for the decision to use canned peaches. Why in the world would she have done that, unless she couldn't afford real or better peaches to practice with. Similarly, why in the world would Christiaan use rose water? I really don't think I have EVER seen a bake on this show where that worked. I had to laugh when he said he was going to put it in his showstopper but it wouldn't be enough to taste, so why bother? I thought Dylan certainly deserved all the accolades this episode, but I don't think it is a sure thing that he will be the ultimate winner. Maybe a grump, but I did get a bit tired of the spotted dick jokes. Based on some of her choices in other seasons, I know Prue is a fan of steamed puddings, but I do feel it was included here solely for comic relief. Speaking of comic relief, I did love Dylan's insistence on how old Noel and Alison are compared to him. Much as I enjoyed Sumayah and her beautiful, imaginative bakes, I am so glad not to have to hear her again. I'm sure she will be successful in whatever she does in the future. Finally, except for Sumayah's (not a fan of coffee/lemon), I would have eaten every bite of every one of those tiramisus all by myself. Yummy.
