Every time I see a couple oohing and aaahing over a gigantic master bedroom and its palatial ensuite bath, I can't help but think, "Blah, just more space to clean. No thank you." Unless these people really love cleaning. Or maybe they hire someone to do their cleaning for them? Me, I'd much rather have a small-but-perfectly-functional bathroom that takes much less time to clean! Of course, the first house I remember from when I was growing up didn't even have a master bedroom with an ensuite bath. One shower for everybody (though we did have another half bath downstairs). Then we moved to a new state and our new house had an ensuite in the master bedroom, but my parents never really treated it like it was their own private bathroom. We were five people with two bathrooms, to be split however was most practical at the moment, and one of the bathrooms just happened to be off of a bedroom. I remember sometimes I'd have friends over and if the front bathroom was occupied and someone else needed to go, I'd tell them they were welcome to use the one in my parents' bedroom at the end of the hall. I would get these horrified looks in reply. I didn't get it; to me, I thought, "It's just a bedroom, and they're not in there at the moment, so...? It's okay, I promise! They don't care!" One of those things where it takes you awhile to realize that not everyone thinks the same thing is "normal"!

Having been traumatized at a young age by the wedding arc on Lois & Clark, I was more amused than upset at the ending. More like, "Silly me, I should have known better than to believe we'd actually get a happy ending on the first try. Well, at least Kate has not been replaced by a frog-eating clone...yet." Obviously a procedural-dramedy show isn't quite the same thing as a cheesy comic-book-based show, but hey, which one is harder to believe: that an intelligent woman in her 30s wouldn't realize her Vegas marriage was a real marriage, or that a baby from another planet would be sent to Earth where his alien-ness gives him superpowers?

I am also on board this ship! It took a little over half of the season for me to get on board, but once I fell, I fell hard. I especially agree with this point that Danny Franks made: That's so important to my enjoyment of both his character and the potential Jake/Amy ship, and it's also made for what I thought were some interesting storylines at the end of the season. I agree that the friendship between these two seems very genuine and sweet. I think they complement each other well. We saw Jake give his nice little speech about how their job sucks less when he gets to do it with her; I imagine Amy feels the same way, going by the moments when we get to see her amusement/smiles at Jake's antics (provided they don't go too far, of course). It will be very interesting to see how they pick up this storyline in season 2.

Love it! Hi everyone, I'm yet another TWOPper looking for a new forum. I wasn't all that active of a poster over there (I read more than I posted), but I sometimes posted in the threads for The X-Files, The Mindy Project, New Girl, The West Wing, Downton Abbey, and my most recent love, Brooklyn 99! Hopefully there will be some fun discussion over here during the (long...why so long? sigh) hiatus.
