From "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" Fitzwallace walks in. FITZWALLACE: Mr. President. BARTLET [hurries to shake his hand] Fitz! Fitz, you old polecat, you old so-and-so! FITZWALLACE: You trying to be one of the fellows, sir? BARTLET: Yeah. FITZWALLACE: Well... well-done, sir. BARTLET: Thank you. -- From "A Proportional Response" FITZWALLACE: You're gonna have to set him down, Leo. LEO: I know. FITZWALLACE: He's gonna have to talk to the country a little bit. This is not the last one of these we're gonna have to do, but you're gonna have to set him down. LEO: Any advice? FITZWALLACE: It's not my place. LEO: Yeah, it is. FITZWALLACE: Tell him it's always like this the first time. Tell him he's doing fine. LEO: He's not doing fine. FITZWALLACE: Yeah, he is. Presidents don't make new friends, that's why they gotta keep their old ones. You'll know what to say. Rest in Peace, John Amos. ❤️💔

I could get on board with Peter going to Paris. :) I also think there might be a case made somehow for Neal coming back to NYC. I know there's the Pink Panthers 'danger' if he were ever to come back... but (for example) if something has happened to Mozzie, I would think nothing would stop Neal from coming back. That might be a way of honoring Mozzie as a character as well. Whatever happens, I'm very curious what they have planned. Especially because the articles / interviews I've read from Matt, Tim and Tiffani all seem very positive. They've said the plan for the new series honors the characters (especially Mozzie) and the show overall. I think Tiffani said the script she read even made her cry, she was so moved? No matter what, I hope the writing is smart. As Peter says, "you know how I like 'smart'." 😄😉

I also like Mozzie with that brilliant hacker woman (Sally / the Vulture) he briefly spent time with in season 3 episode 7 (called "Taking Account"). They had a lot in common, plus she called him "the handsome one," which I adored. Especially because we all assumed she meant Neal, lol. As Mozzie would say, "Consider that a lesson in modesty." 😄❤️ I think watching a reboot of the series will always hurt my heart a little bit, with the loss of Willie Garson. But if they can find a way to write a great script and do it justice to him not being there, I'll definitely watch.

Oh wow, it's been AGES since I've watched Lois & Clark, but I will never forget that damn clone thing. (Lol) Definitely a frustrating ship-stalling "plot" that drove me nuts. I don't mind waiting, but that idea was bonkers.

"You know what happened? I didn't have my game face on." Lol. 🤣

Personally, Serenity 1 & 2 hooked me the best, but otherwise I'd recommend one of the funnier episodes, like Shindig or Our Mrs. Reynolds. I'd save Out of Gas for part of the standard episode watching order, because I think it's most meaningful after you've gotten to know all the characters. Then seeing their flashbacks to how they came to work with Mal and Zoe is so much more fun, funny, sentimental and moving. If you don't know the characters yet, it's a good episode, but the deeper meaning of everything isn't known as strongly, imo. It goes from good to amazing when you have that personal connection to everyone and what's going on.

Lol. What's the forehead sweat episode?

Marvelous little "brunch" video between Tom (Lucifer) and Colman Domingo (Father Frank) and their friend Brandon Kyle Goodman:

"I haven't eaten since 6 o'clock this morning, and that was a half a cream cheese bagel. And it wasn't even real cream cheese, it was light cream cheese!" Cracks me up every time.

Such heartbreaking news. Not Mozzie. 💔 😭 Way too young. Just read this article about Willie and Hilarie Burton (who played Sara Ellis): https://people.com/style/hilarie-burton-got-a-tattoo-to-honor-willie-garson-before-his-death/ That is the sweetest. ❤️

That was one of my favorite parts, especially that he was basically using a replica of Dr. Linda's office. Perfect. He's learned so much from her! (At last, lol.) I was delighted.

Lucifer holding his arms out for a hug from Maze, and her staring at him like, "What are you doing? We don't do that," was hilarious. And after all their beautiful careful words, I just kept saying to my TV, "Hug him, Maze, hug him, hug himmmmmmm." :D That whole scene between them was fantastic. The evolution of their relationship -- and of each of them as characters -- is one of my favorite things on the show. Dan seeing the light was so lovely, I actually got teary-eyed for him. I've had my issues with his early-seasons character, especially how he treated Chloe back then (knowing full well that he was responsible for a lot of what she was going through and the crap she had to take from the precinct, because of what he did and hid about Palmetto). But I've really loved seeing him figure out what he felt guilty about, and work his way through each thing, and try to communicate with people as a ghost (and annoy the crap out of Amenadiel in the cop car, lol, so funny), and his final talk with Trixie was wonderful. I'm glad they switched from his inherited body to Kevin Alejandro so that Trixie's actual father could be seen and heard saying what he loved about her and reacting to her standing firm about him being a great father - it was beautiful to watch. (Though I will say that Rob Benedict did a great, great job imitating Kevin's Dan mannerisms and speech patterns. That was terrific too.) So happy for Dan to reach heaven at last. He earned it, 100%.

"You interrupt my honeymoon, you take what you get." LOL. I love Maze. I don't like how they jumped to Ella and her investigation board this season without really showing us in the previous season that she was doubting something or finally seeing the light about who Amenadiel and Lucifer and Maze are.... but I will say, I LOVED the look on her face when she got to see Amenadiel fly off. Perfect. It was like her faith was restored and then some. She looked so happy. I was so happy for her to finally see proof.

My tv must need some color correction because I thought her wings were purple. Lol. Loved Lucifer's song and dance number with Busty. And Carol and Ella are really sweet together. He better not turn evil, or I'll be pissed.

Nice return to the cop from the very first episode. Sorry to see his life has been messed up ever since, though. (Lol) I feel like I need to replay the scene between Lucifer and Dan. For some reason, I thought I heard Lucifer say that he'd created a whole bunch of scenarios for Dan to play out, and the ping pong one was just the latest. So I don't think he's been stuck playing ping pong the whole time? He might have had to do other boring annoying stuff too? Unless I misheard. Like I said, I'll have to go back and rewatch the scene. Does anyone recall what Dan said?
