BINGO, @Kareem!

LOL @ your husband folding his own t-shirts because you don't "do it right". The "right way" is always how the military taught, regardless of how well your alternate way works. But, when my husband tried to tell me the "right way" to fold his underwear, I drew the line.

As the wife of a Marine, I thoroughly agree with you statement. I asked my husband once what happened to all that hard work and training to keep everything around him straight?? He said it was a lot of hard work, and he isn't at work now. He did, however, maintain the self-confidence and commanding attitude he gained from serving with the USMC.

I'm very disappointed that this show hasn't caught on. But I have a sneaking suspicion that some of the lack of appeal has to do with the name 'BrainDead'. If I hadn't seen on this site the New Show Fact Sheet describing it as a "political/sci-fi drama/comedy" I don't think I'd have checked it out because it sounds more like yet another zombie show (the tank is full, folks!) or maybe a medical mystery about coma patients?? And even after my husband and I had been watching for a while, I could not get the name of the show to stick in my head ("babe, what's that show? Not 'Deadheads', somethingHead? You know, /exploding heads/..."). If they'd named it something more sticky like 'Aliants', would it be reaching more of an audience?

I remember his from his muzac version of Baby Got Back

I also love the accent Tony Shaloub is doing - I actually assumed he was Canadian, and using the chance to exploit his own accent. But, nope - I checked - he's American, and a really great actor!

No! They why did they need to rush this decision and pull the show before November? That's some short-sighted vision, CC :( My favorite part of The Nightly Show was the panel discussion. I think the panel should have taken up more of the show. It really benefitted when they showed rational discussion of truly diverse viewpoints. I think some notes to comedians on the panel - guests and regulars - on how to express their opinions without resorting to lines from their standup routines would have benefitted everyone. I'd love to see TDS add a panel discussion! And I loved and will miss "keep it 100".

I would watch "Tamal and Nadiya Teaching Children Baking Basics". In fact, I'd buy the videos to enjoy rewatching, and to learn for myself!

All of those would be more appropriate than "my brother set us up". That's not 'arranged', it's 'dating'. Wish we could see more of Christian's mom and dad (from Season 1) making an arrangement for Christian's younger brother.

I also thought Jeremy went rogue

OMFG I totally did! On Darius choosing Ruby, not on the recognition of White privilege but maybe they're saving that for season 3... ;)

I have a faint hope that at the final elimination/rose/key/choice (I honestly forget how it's being done on Everlasting) ceremony, Darius will refuse to choose either of the remaining women and tell the camera he wants Ruby, has regretted cutting her since it happened, and is ready to be the man she knows he can be.

For next week's finale, I predict Romeo will be back on set to help Darius navigate these shark-infested waters. Nobody else is able to see past their own self-interest to be trustworthy in their advice to him.

I am a (proud? shamefaced?) member of the exclusive club that watched this when it was on the air.

I agree 100% - this episode, and the focus on RACHEL's feelings and reactions, is so tone-deaf it was offensive. Sure, pop some pills to escape the reality you had a very large part in creating - the two men you set up might have been paralyzed or killed, but your mom's here to 'help' now. Maybe the show will redeem itself by showing this is part of a self-aware season-long white privilege/cluelessness arc, but I really doubt it.

Jay telling Rachel "This is not your story to tell" was the only thing i liked about this episode - it was so on point, on so many different levels.

Thanks(?) @sarah-d-bunting - I think that was a full hour I spent watching Irish people having the same horrified/disbelieving reactions to various TV show that I do, but with better accents. Yes, of course I subscribed to that Youtube channel. Yes, I also question my own time-management decisions.

Oh, thanks! Now I feel stupid...except I'm smart enough to be on this forum reading @chitowngirl's post. So there's that, at least! Off to watch BrainDead...

Thank goodness it's just the very terrible listings served up by my local cbs affiliate causing me angst! But now I'll need to wait until Friday to watch the episode on Amazon because I refuse to be strong-armed into paying for cbs 'all access'.

Are we ever going to see this next episode?? I love this show, but it looks like CBS now has American Gothic ("nobody is at the door" version) in it's Monday 10pm timeslot. I will be SO MAD if they let BrainDead go. :(

So glad I caught this article, because I doubt I would have come across this documentary otherwise - what's up with burying the documentaries, HBOnow? Although I rolled my eyes a couple times at some ham-fisted editing choices, this film overall was made of Win. I loved the sensitivity and understanding shown by Rae as she interviewed clients. It really seems like Bindle and Keep is changing lives, one suit at a time.

LOLAAAAAaaaa... ! :'(

I just finished watching the first 2 episodes, and I think I'll keep tuning in when I need something light. I didn't feel Mike Tyson was /too/ annoying because his kinda clueless gameplay really let all the other players and Anthony Anderson react and interact, and that's what was great about the old-school game shows.

I think that's the problem. Because he's her boss at work, he acts as if the marriage is just going to be an expansion of her PA responsibilities.

I was the perfect age to enjoy the original Voltron cartoon, and I am fully prepared to binge-watch this new version!
