Danielle is lying to the Davises. I guess they didn’t see the talking heads

Wow that other couple already lost two other wives! Get a clue, folks. This does not work!

Billy is very smart!
April says it would be heartbreaking if Danielle left again,but it just feels like they would be upset at losing a victim.

I've learned to sweet-talk tech support or billing agencies into seeing my logic, especially with the "it's not you, it's me" charm of things like, "I'm getting used to this hearing aid; could you please talk more slowly" — which allows me to stop them to critique the validity of the script that they don't even hear themselves when they recite it.
This is a very valuable skill. It's very useful to be able to co-opt the people on the other end of the line and get them on your side. You don't have to be right, just get a result.

Do we know that this isn't going to happen?
I read in the Vulture recap that it's now revealed that Douglas, not Perry, has been having the affair with Mitzi. What? When did that get revealed?!?
I liked this episode more than any to date, and the reason can be entirely laid at the feet (or fins) of Evelyn and The Whale. Only Allison Janney could have sold it. But she did.
It might happen (with the whale). Obviously it's a cliffhanger.
They did reveal about Douglas but it was fleeting. I think he has a discussion with Robert. I can't keep it all straight, it's such garbage.

I'm another Apple TV'er who had the problem. Could it be that so many people wanted to watch it that we broke the internet?
Yes, and it happened in subsequent weeks. But I was able to watch on an iPad. Who knows?

I think a man having a cat is a sign he ... likes cats. And, as a bonus, that he's confident enough not to deny that based on some sexist stereotype.
Yeah, but it's living with Mom that's the stumbling block . . .
@shapeshifter I'm thinking your sample size of two is big enough.

Wasn’t Sam going to take over the Los Angeles office? How can he transfer to this show?

We watch them all. Our Favorite is “ Great Expetations,” , A Letter to Three Wives, the Thin Man Series, and any musical. Plus Saratoga Trunk. So many to count. Picnic too.
Letter to three wives and Picnic are two of my faves.

I'm still reading, can't finish it, 30 pages left. I don’t understand, I either don’t have the desire or the time.
Surprised you stuck with it that long LOL.

Agree, and the AI case involved really scary people. So did they really pursue it in a safe way?
There are a few people who have been filing those disability rights lawsuits and making bank off them, but they have managed to employ real disabled plaintiffs (incidentally, I don't think a shoe repair shop is required to have a public bathroom). What they do is borderline skeevy, but it passes the smell test. They really skewed things by showing that the lawyer stole identities. I suppose business owners should start buying insurance for these types of cases.

TIL there is something called real person fan fiction. Yikes.

Yes, Mrs. Doubtfire is also a misfire for me. And Robin Williams was always too over-the-top for me. The one cross-dressing movie I can stand is Victor, Victoria.
And back to Tootsie, I couldn't stand the simpering Southern accent.

Well...it's a quiet Friday night and I was searching for something to watch on TV (we don't have any premium channels) and, voila! I found Tootsie. The second half (where I came in) is the best part IMO. Great actors, whether stars or characters.
Unpopular opinion: I never liked that movie! I also dislike Some Like It Hot. Upon seeing mentions here and on the TCM thread, however, I decided to rewatch Tootsie this morning, after a 42-year hiatus. I still don't like it. He's so horrible to Teri Garr. There are a few funny scenes, though. But he seems so fake as Dorothy, I just couldn't buy the whole premise.

Adding to my answer above. Maybe my knife example could be used in a case of stranger rape to identify someone. Here there is no identity issue.

I'm not surprised by this decision. I read all of the main decision last night. It's a technical issue in evidence law, and nonlawyers may tend to call it BS. As @Quof says above, due process requires that even a scummy jerk like Harvey Weinstein get a fair trial.
Evidence from non-charged crimes can sometimes be admitted to show a pattern or MO (like someone always carried this kind of weird knife that no one else had--it's hard to come up with an example that isn't in a gray area). Otherwise it just sounds like a pile on, i.e., he's the kind of guy who commits rape. So that's why such evidence is usually excluded.

This. Also some were not recaps but more like editorials. I thought posters comments were supposed to be opinions but the recaps were supposed to be, well, recaps.
The recaps on Vulture/New York Magazine are a combo of opinion and recap. The writer also rates the episode from 1 to 5 stars.
@surfgirl what is TIIC? I tried Googling without success.

Tomorrow I'm schlepping off to a doctor for an injury from a fall a year ago that still hurts a little. It seems like a waste of time. But maybe it will be one of those doctors that has a healing vibe. If he's a jerk, I won't bother again.
Whatever happened to your attempt to get an appointment with a neurologist? I meant to follow up on that a couple of weeks ago. Did you abandon that weird doctor matching site?

The parents-to-be had an awfully big house---couldn't the surrogate have lived with them until she gave birth? Granted, her father still found the house and would have just grabbed her from there, but even so...
That was the plot of the aforementioned Law and Order episode, and look what happened there!
SpoilerSurrogate killed mother and wounded father. Tried to sell baby to someone else.

Apropos of this, my friend's son was recruited by MIT to play football. I am not making this up. He is a freshman now.

Pet Peeves: Aka Things That Make You Go "Gah!"
in Everything Else
Today's peeve: I blame only myself.
I ordered two bags of Peet's coffee from Amazon, and I mistakenly ordered whole beans instead of ground. Grr.
Since I own a grinder (not used in years), I'll suffer through the next few weeks of grinding instead of trying to return the order.
