  1. Did Jack and Rebecca go to an open house in the house Randal eventually buys to raise his family? It looked like it.
  2. Does anybody think the worse case scenarios may come true? Deja physically harms Beth and the younger daughter, maybe even murdered and the visit is to prison to see Deja for the first time since it happened?
  3. With Rebecca on the couch it was tonight’s game.
  4. My question is this, are we now jumping ahead? This episode was heavy with the reference of twenty years. 20th anniversary of his passing, the assumption the Tess scene was twenty years later and Kevin mentioning to his father’s tree that he hoped to be a better man in two decades. So who is the mystery death that the 2038 characters mull over? I’m assuming this is the formula.
  5. When the FBI was sorting out the Miglin murder I found out that I was at the same bar in Chicago at the same time as Cunanan. Wouldn’t remember him, it was crowded. He used a stolen credit card at the bar. At the time it really bothered me, this show is bringing that feeling back.
  6. After spending most of 2016 in the hospital as a patient I can attest that the cellular workings of medicine are not pretty. I have problems with medical dramas that provide unrealistic heroic last minute outcomes because it breeds a medically complacent viewer. This drama seems to be going toward the more realistic approach to portray doctors not as miracle workers but as flawed individuals who believe that they can perform miracles. I enjoyed the episode and I wholeheartedly agreed with the assessment of medicine being a for profit industry. I will most likely be a regular viewer.
  7. Actually no, as the doctors explained via the equation a decomposing liver processes toxins much slower than a healthy one. It’s not to say he would be intoxicated blood tests are far more specific than breathalyzer tests. And Chuck explained his decision, often you can spend years on the list waiting and wondering if today will be the day. It is maddening, I know firsthand. You are treated like a china doll. Careful of every single thing you come into contact with. He said he wanted one day to “feel normal.”
  8. I received a Liver transplant in June 2016. The standard protocol is when a donor becomes available usually hours before removing the organ from the donor two if not three recipients are called to their respective transplant centers and prepared for surgery. I found out I was actually the third try for my organ. In essence with a liver transplant there is no “list” you are ranked by blood type and scored by severity of your condition. The sickest get transplanted first. There is no hardline “law” regarding the six months of sobriety it is usually up to the transplant center and the social worker. If the patient has been compliant and wasn’t exhibiting signs to regression this should have been at the discretion of the center. I understand the show was between a rock and a hard place on this, it would have been bad pr for Donate Life organizations to show the patient receiving the organ. Also, it made a good juxtaposition between the two patients and responsibility of personal care in relation to wealth. In my opinion there is no real reason that if the liver was compatible Chuck should have received the transplant.
  9. I agreed that it was virtually impossible to go from her state at intervention to where she was at 75 days. I wish her all the best but the damage has been done to her body. Her daughters girlfriend had foreshadowing about the relapse. She said from what I can remember " Kacy puts on a good act when she is looking for liquor. " She needs to get the proper medical help which could take months if not years to somewhat correct the damage. Then she can start on the mental healing.
