CarpeFelis

Trying to kill Harry was plenty evil enough to me.

They did a great job casting younger versions of Dexter, Deb, Angel, and Masuka. Though young Dexter doesn’t seem to have that feline way of moving that IMO is part of the appeal of Michael C. Hall’s Dexter. (Let’s face it, if someone lacking Hall’s charisma had been cast as Dexter, the original series probably would have bombed.) But… nothing against Christian Slater, happy to see him, but why the heck didn’t they find a Harry who resembles James Remar? The lack of resemblance pulls me right out of the episode. And another question: And the pre-med thing. It annoys me that SO MANY SHOWS do this: some college student knows almost as much as an actual doctor or knows how to do procedures that med students don’t learn until at least their third year if not later, and says it’s because they’re pre-med. This is ridiculous! Pre-med is college, not med school. I was pre-med in college and I sure as hell never performed an autopsy like Dexter did (in fact, from that scene I assumed he was about to graduate from med school, not college). Closest I ever got to that was having to clamp a flowmeter around a dog’s carotid artery in a senior year biomedical engineering lab. And we students were not responsible for opening or closing.

I wanted to smack Jules AND whoever wrote that scene! Since when would a resident get away with mouthing off to their boss that way? And why was Bailey not pointing out that it was Yasuda’s own decision and she couldn’t handle being around the hospital where her sister had died? And after the way Yasuda acted in the morgue and her freakout in the ER, Jules should have realized she was nowhere near ready to be working again. I half expected her to try to crawl into one of those morgue drawers. When I first moved to Seattle in the ‘80s we barely even had discernible seasons here, but now heat waves are not all that unusual. Snow, OTOH, still freaks people out and lots of people who grew up here still don’t know how to drive in it. Right from the minute Nora first showed up I thought “here we go…” Seriously, Owen, you see your wife in an elevator* with another woman’s hand touching her arm and immediately jump to jealousy and offering this other woman a ride home? We all know wnat kind of ride he’s thinking about. * Yeah, yeah, I know… this is Grey’s and all sorts of carrying on happens in the elevators.

You’re not alone. Loved his hair! I also like Kim. Would love to see her give Kreese the boot and team up with Chozen.

The guy looked somewhat younger so I kind of wondered if he’d turn out to be her son or something.

Auto brewery syndrome has been done on other shows enough times that I diagnosed the problem before Max did. I also thought “carotene toxicity, maybe?” before Max said it because of the earlier comment that one guy looked like he’d overdone the self-tanner and looked orange. I obviously watch way too many medical dramas. Avery seems pretty selfish and doesn’t seem to have any real feelings for either Max or Tristan so the threesome turning back into a triangle wasn’t too surprising, either. The only surprise here is that both men want actual relationships and she just wants something physical.

I really, really despise Maud. Is she the biggest narcissist on the planet or what? Here she has a hot husband but she just has to have the attention of every other man in the room (that whole riding in showing herself off on the camel BS) not to mention blatantly throwing herself at that reprobate Rupert. And the way she talked about her own daughter was reprehensible.

Why the hell didn’t they immediately call in Cardiology when they figured out Emily’s problem was with her heart, instead of trying to brainstorm solutions first?

I was surprised and disappointed in Sharon’s reaction when they finally came out of the comas. It just didn’t ring true. Like Picard in “The Inner Light”, she’d just experienced living most of a lifetime, even if it wasn’t real. It looked like they were in their 90s by the end and had experienced decades of a happy, loving marriage. It was clear that Ian was still feeling it, and I felt bad for him when Sharon just brushed it all off. The experience may not have been real, but the emotions were. And in the world she’d just been living in, she’d had many, many years to grieve Spence, so the super emotional “it should have been you” scene seemed off. If anything, I would have expected something like “Look at you! We’re young again!” and a big hug and/or kiss that would have surprised the hell out of everyone else. IMO that would have made for a more interesting story. LOL’d at Angus showing up at Alicia’s cabin looking 1000% more confident and looking her up and down after getting Brice’s advice. Also at Trust referring to himself as an asshole.

I could not believe they said it would have to be the entire liver! That was a really dumb error. You can donate one lobe and it will regrow in both donor and recipient. And he could have given one of his kidneys to Spencer.

Her tone was so “nyah nyah nyah” I was disappointed Lucy didn’t mutter “smig bitch” right after that.

I’m supremely annoyed that she got away with that little stunt. I was hoping she’d feel enough guilt over it to confess, but no. This is why I can’t stand Devon. She’s a little backstabber with an overinflated sense of entitlement who thinks she’s way better than she actually is. Then again, I didn’t want to see Kenny win that challenge either. He hasn’t been redeemed enough (or for long enough) to deserve it. And he’s still jumping right to blaming Anthony. I suppose he’ll do something nasty to get even. Too bad it will be to the wrong person. Tory is so volatile I can’t help thinking she’ll manage to seriously injure either herself or someone else during the Sekai Taikai. (Am I the only one who keeps thinking of it as the Sekai Tie-Dye because having “kai” at the end of both words just sounds weird?)

Jeanette has to be one of the most cartoonish villains I’ve ever seen. The amount of makeup she wore—especially the exaggerated red blush and lipstick—would probably have people in a small town of that era thinking she looked like a hooker. And the exaggerated imitation Marilyn Monroe breathy voice was way over the top. Really disappointed that

I kept wondering why the heck Lucy didn’t show her the scar when she first grabbed her. The driverless Uber looked suspiciously like an Ioniq 5. The “you’re in my office” glitch seemed for a moment like it made Jules wonder if Lucy was telling the truth. Felix may look older but he hasn’t changed a bit. And still my favorite character.

I was a Boeing engineer for 41 years. That struck me as odd because the only place I ever heard that sort of naming was internal Boeing where we would refer to, say, the 747 as “four-seven”, 757 as “five-seven”, etc. (The exception was “triple 7”, which initially meant a combination program maintaining the legacy 707, 727, and 737, and later referred to the 777.)
