  1. We're talking NYC in 1960, home to model agencies and television production. Men were probably looking for Barbara Eden types and not so much leaning towards Imogene Coca.
  2. Ah, right. Forgot about that "dying on the grounds" bit. Thanks.
  3. The back story I'm most curious about concerns the character the show has apparently dropped. How does a biker get decapitated inside a mansion?
  4. Was Kovich's "three hour tour" remark a reference to Gilligan's Island? I wouldn't be surprised if that damn show is still being rerun in the future, or maybe it was rebooted as Gilligan's Planet. Wait, that was an actual cartoon.
  5. FYI Chrissy is Croc's sister-in-law, I guess his wife doesn't like camping. I had to laugh when the promo for next episode implied that Chrissy was going to turn into some holy terror because Croc was booted. That woman is completely lost by herself and has no clue how this game works.
  6. "...and a good time was had by all." This was kind of a downer especially since it seemed to me like the finale, but I see on IMDB there's one more show to go. Maybe Elsa will gain another superpower and fight off the infection. No wonder antibiotics were called "wonder drugs", almost any wound could prove fatal after the fact because of infection. Any immigrants who make it to Oregon will certainly have earned it. I don't know how many are left but it doesn't look good and they still have hard times ahead. Weird how they keep running across Natives who speaking amazingly good English where almost no White people are found. Are the showrunners afraid of offending people by having Natives speak broken English?
  7. I love how the movers stopped in their tracks at the mention of orgy lamps. So Midge thinks she can do her progressive act in a strip club? Maybe if they can get her in a G-string and pasties. Um, I'd be okay with that. Poor Abe, getting a job he loves but getting paid a pittance for it. I think he may have a tough choice to make in a future episode. I have to say, this time period (early 60s) is one of my favorites, when the culture started to loosen up but before it went dark with assassinations and riots. Everything seems so bright and colorful even when things aren't going that well. Kudos to wardrobe and set designers!
  8. Liberace was known for threatening legal action at anyone who even implied that he was gay, in print or otherwise. That's why many people thought the flamboyance was just an act. Being outed was a career- killer at that time. Shy Baldwin couldn't afford to have a blabbermouth like Midge around and by then she should have had enough experience to know where the line is.
  9. Why would they all be sitting alone in the Wonder Wheel? Those were two person seats. That ride operators gonna get fired if he doesn't pack 'em in. All those f bombs she was dropping in her set is the kind of thing that got you busted for obscenity in 1960, small club or no. I wouldn't be surprised to see cops sitting in for her next show.
  10. Everyone's waiting for Michael to say it first, she's the only one allowed to solve things. Maybe Saru can feed her a leading question, but that's it.
  11. I really couldn't care less if this show comes back but if it does I'll probably tune in despite all the quality issues raised by other posters, as I'm a fan of the sci-fi genre and time travel stories in particular. But I have to say the heavy-handed "white heteros bad/everyone else good" theme borders on offensive, although I've come to expect this from the CW. I just didn't expect it to be this blatant and crude.
  12. Elsa telling her mother she's an adult because she's 18 sounds like an error. I'm pretty sure the age of majority in the US was 21 back then. Of course, where they are now, there's no one to enforce that or any reason to. In the scene where Elsa and her mother are by the river bank washing herself, I found Elsa coming off as rather haughty and pretentious. I don't know if it was meant to be played that way but I suppose it tracks for a headstrong teenager who thinks she has it all figured out. I'm curious to see how this story loops back to the massacre scene at the start of ep 1.
  13. Are there people who don't pronounce the L in Tolkien? It's the second part I've never been sure about, pronouncing it either Tol-ken or Tol-key-en at various times. Now it's said to be Tol-keen, which I dunno if I like. Don't get me started on Dr. Seuss...
  14. I don't know who wrote that line, but Leota says "sequester" the clinic's vehicle when she should say "comandeer." Unless I'm the one who doesn't know what sequester means. Thank god Eagly's okay! And, yeah, wild raccoons ain't nothing to mess with.
  15. I agree, they want Eli gone so Jesse can inherit and invest in their project. Pretty sure I saw bloodstains on Eli's right arm before he passed out but nothing on his chest. He'll be fine, relatively.
  16. Power moves, making employees ( or servants) feel awkward and vulnerable. Does Alex appear to have been aged up since last season? She looked like a young teenage kid before and now looks about 20, to me anyway. Rowan Blanchard must have experienced a puberty spike since last year.
  17. Does anyone know the name of the tune playing during the montage of abandoned exercise equipment? It sounds so familiar but I can't place it and it's going to bug me for days.
  18. So how did that crate fall on that guy's arm in a weightless environment? The supply depot wasn't rotating or accelerating to provide pseudo-gravity. Are we to assume the crates are magnetized like their boots? Seems it would be cheaper to just make them with tie-downs.
  19. Does anyone know what those opaque bubbles some people are wearing on their heads in the future are? Was it ever explained?
  20. If they keep Flash's gold boots, I hope they make then more stream-lined because those clunky things look like something KISS would wear. I really don't see how removing Thawne's speed protects him from timeline correction, but whatever... Pretty sure Thawne left himself an escape route when he consulted Gideon in the last episode. I'm always surprised at how short Cecile is next to the others, and she was wearing heels! She sure filled out that dress in the right places, though. A softer, gentler Damian Darhk is hard for me to take seriously considering his past actions. He can care for his daughter while still retaining his evil edge. Maybe next time. Nora kind of looked to me like Sue Dibney for a moment.
  21. Maybe it's because I've gotten used to some actors' unnaturally whitened teeth, but I find Tilly's teeth rather dingy. Or maybe it's just in contrast to her lighter red-head skin tone.
  22. Doug may not have been wearing his "hooves" in the scene with Tilly. Those things can't be comfortable for long.
  23. Gee, I wonder why? Hmm, what could it be, what could it be...
  24. So is every white male in this series going to be a stereotypical villain? The nefarious Mr. Greene hatching an evil scheme, the belligerent drunk at the bar, the guard raiding Hayden's room, even Shanice's husband is being a hard-ass compared to the new wife. The CW has never been known for subtlety when it addresses social issues but this is cartoonishly bad in its heavy-handedness.
