I read the first book in the Clifton Chronicles, not realizing that it was going to be the first in the series. I was so pissed off when it ended on a cliffhanger that I actually threw it at the wall. I then resolved to not read any of the rest of the books until the whole damn series was published. I kept to my resolution...and then binge read them all over the course of a week or two. I might do the same with the Warwick series.

In terms of Bake-off credentials, Paul was the one who had been doing the Bake-off for years before Prue was hired, which gives him the edge. Now if somebody was casting a brand new show, then that might be different, but when it comes to presenting this specific reality show, Paul is by far the more experienced presenter.

So they have this wonderful ship with amazing technology, and nobody thought to install seatbelts for emergency situations? Okay, they might still have been taken unawares with the first time the artificial gravity cut out, but after that they should have been well strapped in.

IIRC, the technicals in the Final are usually very sparse as by then, anybody left should have basic baking knowledge.

IIRC, if you break an Angel into pieces, every piece is still an Angel so you just end up multiplying the threat.

For some reason, Sky Comedy (which airs SNL on Sunday nights) cut out the musical guest. I didn't realise it until I saw the end of episode on stage gathering. (to be fair, I'd have probably fast forwarded through that part anyway). And it can't have been cut for time because there was a good 7 or 8 minutes left on my recording after it got to the closing credits.

Cack is slang for shit. Basically Chigs was saying he was on the verge of crapping his pants he was under so much stress.

STD clinic? 😜

The doctor explained it to Park. High levels of HCG in women are indications of pregnancy. High levels in men are indications of testicular cancer. When the levels showed up in a supposedly male sample, the obvious conclusion for the testers was that it was cancer rather than pregnancy so that’s what they told Ressler.

I can't believe that Ben showed up with the kid at the firehouse only to dump her on Maya once he was called upon to actually do his job. What would he have done if the entire crew had been called out? Just left her there and hoped for the best?

We don't know how closely related to humans Vinder and Bel are. Maybe gestation takes a lot longer for them.

CSI NY had a similar 'death by blanks' plot back in season 2. In that case the gun was fired intending to scare somebody but the shooter hadn't realized that it would cause damage if fired too close.

And they thought that Gary was the best person to be responsible for the key? Don't get me wrong, I do like Gary, and I suppose that of them all, he has the most experience at trying to fit in in a world that's not his own, but I would have figured that Nate as the historian would have been the more reliable person to do it.

If they'd stuck to pointing fingers then they wouldn't be in this situation. (yeah, I'm going to hell, okay.)

Very sneaky of Paul with the bait and switch in the showstopper. I thought Crystelle was going to faint when she thought he'd found something wrong!

Technically Fred only lost his original stake which was probably not all that much. The whole idea of an accumulator bet is that you pick a number of matches or races to bet on and you end up with better odds than if you'd placed the bet individually. But once the bet is made, it can't be changed, and if any one of the individual matches or races goes against the gambler then the whole bet is lost.

Just finished The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid It has been so long since I read a book that I enjoyed this much. I was reading it on my commute a few mornings and wished that I could just stay on the tram to finish it. I didn't go in any direction that I'd thought it was heading, but I really enjoyed it. And I may even have to re-read it sooner rather than later.

I think that the only advantage Jurgen had over the other bakers was being able to pronounce the German words correctly!

They should have just called it a remake of Diagnosis Murder if that was the premise.

Emmett He only became a firefighter because he was pressured to by his father - the jerkass police chief - and eventually stood up for himself and quit because it wasn't what he wanted to do.

No, they just stood there and there were a few repeating mechanical noises and that was pretty much it!

I presume that he was an OB-GYN surgeon and as such entitled to the 'Mister' honorific rather than 'Doctor'.

After the shitty way he treated the Torchwood fans who were upset after Ianto's death, I swore I'd never watch anything else with his name on it. Guess it's goodbye Doctor Who from me now.

The scene when Luke walks out of the house at the end. I was sure that it was going to turn out that the sister had succeeded in killing him and had taken over while Luke’s spirit got sucked into the portal. But I’m glad they didn’t go there.

If she's that competent on the bassoon, it shouldn't be that difficult to play a song that she knows the tune of. (My late grandmother used to be able to do that on the piano). Wait, how high can cats and toddlers climb? (oh wait, you mean worried about the ones on the inside getting out, not the outside getting in!)
