I couldn't watch it. i was crying hard enough, a couple of weeks ago. I won't watch someone be told their husband, or father died.

I haven't read the comics, but I have read about the Whisperers. I wondered of they were the walkers in the water, in the preview. They looked too organized to be (un)dead. I think they would be stupid to pull another fake-out, though. Having him get bitten was bad enough (and I was one of the annoyed viewers, over Glenn and their going so far as to take his name out of the credits, when I was sure he wasn't dead). I don't think his father would have been so pissed off a couple of months ago, either, unless he's a really good actor, and got paid to do it.

I'll probably keep watching, but not tonight. I'm having trouble getting into it. And my dad was watching, too, which is just weird for me. 21 children. Crikey!

I avoid anything bigfoot, but will usually give a chance to anything ghost-related. I barely remember this show.

I guess I was the only one who'd totally forgotten about Sam Malone. I haven't watched the show for years, because it depresses me now, for some reason. I liked this, but I missed the others, once it was all on Eleanor. I was hoping my DVR had missed recording a second episode. Elenor gettting crapped on for doing the right thing, was too close to home. That happens too often. When Eleanor was alive, in flashbacks, they made it look like she was the only selfish one (in the past), I thought. All of her "friends" were awful here. I wonder if they were really like that, or if it's just part of the simulation.

I'm watching yet another show where a cop has to visit strippers and prostitutes. I have a sudden urge to watch Poirot - something I've never experienced before.

I've lived in the US since 1990, and for three years when I was a baby (we left just before my 4th birthday), so I know about the weather here. I've been living through it, and have never felt the urge to move somewhere like Minnesota. Ohio gets cold enough. We got enough cold weather in England, too, though. And blazing hot weather, with no air conditioning. :/ Wherever I've lived over here, our air conditioning craps out - it's like some kind of bad luck - so we have to rely on one or two in windows, but I don't remember having anything like that over there. I do remember the teacher drinking hot or cold drinks, depending on the weather, and we hated them for it. We weren't allowed to eat or drink in class.

We had the same schedule all year, and the same teachers taught all of the students. This was in England. I don't remember us ever getting snow days, unless I'm forgetting something. We had to go to school in the middle of hurricanes, and we froze our butts off on the playground, in snow. This is sounding dangerously close to "I had to walk five miles in the snow, with holes in my shoes", but it was true. I remember resenting mum for keeping my younger sister home, but making me go to school, during the first hurricane. I was "assisted" across a huge road, by the wind.

I think they should all be disgraced/imprisoned. Olivia was right, and said what people have been saying here for ages: they're all killers. How they think they deserve their freedom, but can threaten to take hers away, is both disgusting and laughable. Not that Liv isn't a monster. Shonda couldn't resist tearing her down. I loved Mellie's comment about Fitz spilling his DNA all over the White House. Like someone else said, he started a war just to get Liv back. Quinn's "We're better than that." LMAO. No, you aren't.

haha! Ohio. ;)

I heard one thing about that train yesterday, because it held one of my senators. I didn't know a truck hit it. I didn't post in the "only happens on TV" thread, because I know it happens. It just gives me flashbacks to a car accident. Yeah, I'd rather not compete over destroyed holidays. I was in a really bad state.

That, I understand. I just didn't think they would have the same powers - so hogarth would have been out of luck trying to generate that power for herself (having people do what you tell them to). I would love something like that, to help, or occasionally to make a day easier, I admit, but the latter is ethically a no-no. I don't think I could do it.

Can we stop with trucks coming out of nowhere, and slamming into cars? It is such an old freaking idea. I also hate it when they destroy Christmas episodes. My holiday season was awful, so I finally get around to watching things that aired just before Christmas, and find that I'm glad I didn't watch them at the time. This is the first episode I'd watched in a while, although I remember the first lady's mum being asked about something. I like the actors, but this also had me wanting to binge-watch the west wing again. The first christmas episode for that had me sobbing, but for a different reason. It was actually touching.

I'm watching the series again, and also came here to talk about the fetus. I think Hogarth wanted it for sinister porpoises, since she told the nurse not to tell anyone. It's only the girls word against his, that she was raped, and forced to do things, so they wouldn't need a paternity test. They don't even know that he exists. I think Hogarth wants to try to replicate that power, for herself. Hopefully, she isn't into cloning, but I wouldn't put anything past her. The only problem there, for her, would be that it seems that people get their own powers, they don't get passed down. I'm not a comic reader, so I'm sure someone will correct me on that. I'm not talking superman, from another world, where they're all alike when it comes to that.

Same here. I would just want to see my parents again - but my relationship with my mother went bad, a few years before we lost her, and we were in the process of fixing it, I guess, when she died. My dad, I still have (hopefully for a long time), but we went through a bad spell recently. So I'd be opening that door for both reasons. With others, I've had that realization hit me: that you can't do anything right, so stop worrying about it. When it's an immediate family member, though, it's more difficult.

One thing I liked was two different people pointing out they were talking about this in public places. First Oliver, and then the woman that Michaela works for.

Oh, sorry. Instant Pot. :) I mentioned it the other night, but there are a lot of posts here.

Re: the spoiler - I know! It's ridiculous. I almost went into a rant, but it's the same old crap. I still can't get over Fitz letting her father go free, after he killed his son.

That's what I think, too. Another flashback waiting to happen.

I share way too much at times. You didn't overshare. :) Losing a parent does change you. I have unresolved issues with my mum, who died eighteen months ago on the 24th. We had a great relationship for years, but there were major problems in the last few years, that I will never understand (and a few childhood things). We were slowly fixing things when she died. I was on Kevin's side this episode. I wanted just this sort of therapy session with my family, in recent years, but they wouldn't go. Trying to sort out things before they got worse. It's hard being the one that gets blamed for things, and being treated like a fuck-up, as they continue to contribute to you being one, or you get blamed for their shortcomings.

I wouldn't have been able to resist entering at least one of the rooms, either. Most people I would pass, but my parents... that would be the most difficult.

If this is the case, then I might be done with the show. Shonda did this in another of her shows: made both parents of one character, these psychopaths. I'll see how far they take it.

I see it a lot online. Me, too. Late last year, I happened to notice that I hadn't been asked about my accent for a while, and then ended up in a situation (two weeks ago) over a twenty-four hour period, in which a lot of people asked me about it. People do tend to be cute over it, though, like the judge.

I'm using mine right now, because I need to wash the IP, but I'm here to watch it.

Of course she was alive. His poor "friend". Going to this length to get back at Olivia? the preview said something about - nope. Never wanted anything like that. i don't know why Shonda has to destroy her best female characters. She breaks them down and changes them (mostly). This woman becomes one of the most powerful women in the world, and they made her a monster. I'm having trouble with the forums.
