  1. I was so excited that Katy didn’t die. It was just a fun change-up to the formula. And I was so sure she would since the family legacy and accident at a practice immediately mad me think of Adam Petty. Charles Melton is so ridiculously pretty. I didn’t want him to be evil. He had good chemistry with Natasha Lyonne. And Natasha Lyonne has killer legs. These are my major takeaways from the episode.
  2. AI guy has had a great character arc. It was nice to see Nora and Ingrid bonding. I hope "copy" Nathan is the dead one, or that he's misunderstanding and he got something like a "merge changes" procedure with both sets of memories. I think that would give Ingrid some good motivation to work against Horizen more actively if they destroyed the version of Nathan that actually loved her back. The commercial for Horizen was very well done.
  3. I just want to give Nathan (and the show) credit for his calm and sweet response to Nevaeh throwing a tampon at him. "Aw, Nevaeh, you're all grown up." A lot of other shows would've gone with him being grossed out, but nope, he's a good uncle and maintains basic maturity.
  4. Jade's great. They really roll with these supernatural punches far better than I would. Wouldn't make a bad addition to the cast if there were going to be a season 5. I mean, I still ship Nick and George Ace looked just completely done when Bess squeed at the possibility of Nancy and Tristan being soulmates. Can't even depend on his platanchor. "How'd you find me?" "Oh, just followed our death curse." Hee. Nancy's past life being buried at Dead Man's Bluff where she was born feels very on the nose. Nick's "These people are my family. I will protect them. I will protect this town" hit a little harder than it should have. He's such a great character. I love how much he's grown since season 1. Or maybe just how much I've grown to like him. I'm so happy they stopped him from running in. When Bess told Nancy this was her last life, I was like eh, whatever, she didn't know she had a past life till now, this being the last isn't a big deal, but when they said Ace's was damaged too, I was like "No!!" I'm glad they all are doing well and taking on some good career choices. Good kiss for Ace and Nancy. Glad they broke the curse. I like that the girls were all wearing their uniform colors in the last scene. Ace's initial's are AH. Is that the closest we're going to get to calling him a Hardy Boy?
  5. So I just finished watching and/or rewatching every episode of the series and am now completely caught up on The Simpsons. I think their 30s are going somewhat better than their 20s, but maybe that's just cause I had seen most of the 20s so they weren't as amusing as new content.
  6. The supportive bromance between Ryan and Carson is always great. I love how Ryan gave Carson full credit for raising "the best person I ever met" and supports him in being a dad again. I feel like I need to rewatch season 1 and remind myself much he has grown. All right, the truth was heartbreaking as the title suggests. Poor Ace. And it makes perfect sense because all I can think of is back in season 2 when he got kidnapped and was telling Nancy not to give up the info to save him because he couldn't be responsible for the deaths of those people. Yay for character consistency. Boo for sad Ace breaking my heart. George can do better than this guy. I really liked her and Nick better together. I appreciate that they're trying to set everyone up for a happy ending with significant others, but I feel like George going off with this guy and selling the Claw is a bad idea.
  7. I just finished the second episode of season 3 and really enjoying it so far. The confrontation between George and Joe was good. A very satisfying and believable fight scene. I'm glad they didn't drag out the realization. I liked the goodbyes between Callie and Joe (and him telling the team to call Callie with the good news that Frank didn't break up with her). I'm amused that Joe is now taller than Frank. I don't know who he was playing but Rory/Ragman from Arrow was some guy in a suit. Which makes two My Babysitter's a Vampire alumni on this show. I want to know who on the show decided they would not be using "codices" and would say "codexes" instead. I also was completely thrown by Drew listening to "None of Your Business" since it didn't come out until 1994 and I thought this show was pretty solidly set in the 80s. ETA: Okay, I finished and I don't want to make another post. Overall I liked the season more than season 2, would need to rewatch season 1 to tell that for sure. There were a lot of subverted expectations - setting us up for a Nancy Drew reveal, Laura seemingly returning from the dead, mind control setup leading to simulation reveal. I enjoyed Chet's insistence on not cutting off a hand when Joe would've totally gone with it. I'm more confused by the benefits to Drew of having everyone in a simulation. She doesn't exactly have a Matrix-style feeding machine set up for the planet, so I feel like they're all gonna die in a few dies. Bailee Madison made a good villain. Joe saying he doesn't even know what grade he's in anymore was a nice leaning on the 4th wall moment. I still feel like I've decided JB is alive. He looked dead yes, but they had to leave immediately, who's to say he couldn't have been revived.
  8. I just hope that in the final episode just when Nancy and George are ready to go off to college the pandemic hits and they find out they're stuck in Horseshoe Bay just a little longer. The way their luck goes, it would be fitting.
  9. Ah, supernatural shenanigans that show off the cast's respectable comedy chops. Tunji Kasim did a solid imitation of Bess's accent. Maddison Jaizani also did a pretty good George. Aw, Nancy was learning ASL. Carson and Ryan talking about Kate was a nice little moment. I appreciated Ryan accepting his role as Dad #2. I've been really happy with the way he's taken on his fatherly role to Nancy. Carson hugged Ryan! I didn't know I needed that until now. I loved that Nancy was willing to open up to the Drew Crew in the end. And George was the first one like "Oh, Nancy." Group hugs are always welcome. Oh, town council lady was one Army Wives. I always liked her there. I was not expecting this episode to include a food fight. I love the way Ace acknowledged that he's a better person with Nancy in his life. So often when characters say that they're using it to manipulate the person or excuse their own bad behavior, but it didn't play that way here.
  10. I love when we get to see the Drew Crew together doing ridiculous things. The show does well with the silly supernatural montages, so I loved the one person fights with riddle solving. I loved Nick's "that's not going to work this time" right before it, of course, works. Smooth slipping the dice to Bess during the interview. Did he really say "You just won the silver." And then the strategically ripped, pec exposing shirt which he then tore more before going full 80s action movie on the Grim while explain things to his new romantic parner who also threw out a silver platter and made puns. Proves they're a pretty good match. Jade's winning me over even if I still want Nick with George. I loved Ace speaking for the audience with "At least we got to see you as an action hero." "You let a beloved domesticated ferret go!" Kennedy McMann once again has excellent delivery. The Ace/Nancy convo at the end was sad. Well acted, but sad. And I was less emotionally invested in them after being in a mood for ghost fights. I liked the representation of having Carson revealed as having dyslexia and George likely having ADHD but it felt a little forced to me. Like I would've expected Carson's dyslexia to be mentioned sooner rather than halfway through the final season.
  11. I'm glad Midge and Susie tried with Lenny, but there's no hope for that situation. Kind of makes me wish there was less Lenny Bruce throughout the series. "My daughter's trauma will have to wait until she's old enough to go shopping with my mother." "That's fair." Good for Rose. I'm glad everyone was supportive of her. The writers giving her a standing ovation. I'm glad Gordon came around and was genuinely surprised he invited her to the couch. Great aging on 2005 Susie's hands. Susie seems to be living in Hawaii. Good for her. I was expecting Midge to be one of the Jeopardy answers. The flashforwards feel even more pointless now, though I was happy to see some of the successes.
  12. And to be perfectly honest, when I first saw her on Gilmore Girls in 2000 she looked older than 29. Granted, she has aged pretty well, but she seems to be constantly 40ish.
  13. I love that she sent her enforcers out for Dinah's boyfriend. And that she was sending her care deliveries. The death scene with Harry Drake was moving. Darren Criss did some excellent work in his scene. His voice sounded so different from what I'm used to, I had to look up whether it was really him. I love that Joel looks after Midge still. And that Susie wouldn't press charges. And that he earned Nick and Frankie's respect. And he made sure Archie steered clear of the trouble. They really brought in the Gilmore Girls alums for this one. "I am gonna beat you with a pineapple" is an excellent threat. I loved Midge's wedding pantsuit. That cake looked delicious and expensive. The FBI raided the temple to get Joel? Yikes. I loved "Dammit, Chava, I understand a decent amount of Hebrew." Susie and Midge's breakup was excellent. I love that Susie knows the B-52s. The Midge video was beautiful. "Tits up" almost brought a tear to my eye, which is not a sentence that should be true.
  14. The long-winded explanation leading to Midge becoming a pirate amused me. I thought Midge only meant to fake the jacket going overboard. It was good to see that she actually stood up for someone. I appreciated Shirley's dedication to making sure Zelda's dress was perfect. I'm glad everyone loves Zelda, but Joel's parents were genuinely sweet and caring while they are also the least involved in her life.
  15. Ethan turned out way more normal than I would've guessed. I'm not convinced this season isn't just a dream from Midge who's still recovering from that hypothermia.
