I was wondering why she would expect him to pay for her expensive dinners out when she apparently makes enough to afford the house, the car and the remodel and he's just starting out - much less expect him to be a provider instead of a partner- then when Daddy made that remark about the HVAC systems I realized he bought all those things. He basically told Izzy "I raised my daughter to think she's too good to fly coach - OOPS - my bad - your problem now"

I held my breath through just about the whole Gordy scene. It was one of the most terrifying things I have seen at the movies in a long time. It's odd that it's so scary because we meet Jupe as an adult and so we know how it turns out.

And any time they need to get rid of Pooch, they can just say they need a pawn and he's volunteer

Yeah, I did too. Seems like Jake is the only one that doesn't get it. He seems to expect everyone to drive right into his flipper while his bot sits there in one fixed position or they aren't being "aggressive"

Jake Ewart: "driving in circles isn't aggression" Me: Planting your ass in the middle of the floor like a mushroom and spinning around isn't aggression either.

I was fully expecting it to be a selfie stick

Chris is one of the least aggressive people I've seen on this show in a long time.

Chris doesn't realize it, but he dodged a bullet. I remember in one of the kick-off episodes Alyssa said that she's "traditional" and thinks the man should be the provider. She's a lazy ass who doesn't want to work and thinks that a man needs to pay for the privilege of being married to her dour self. She wants expensive things like horses and acreage and she's so dumb that she doesn't realize that a hard-working realtor could make that happen. I wouldn't say she's a butterface but I don't see her as a 8 or 9. If she were fifteen years older maybe - but girlfriend is not aging well. Even with all the procedures she looks way older than she is. She seems to be what I have heard called high-school pretty. Pretty in high school and thinks she's still just as pretty - even though she isn't. People with this syndrome have never had to develop their personality or intellect and it's a shock to them when those things are needed in the real world once their looks aren't the same.

He also called Lexi fearless, which is a quality that she never saw in herself. That's intoxicating for a teen.

I know. I didn't watch "The Nevers". Did they have a cheerleader too? Was it a steampunk cheerleader? That would almost be cool.

No, I meant I thought that the doctor could be a healer, that is he could instantly heal people who were injured. Claudette can only heal herself, as far as we know. Boring and played out. I think I was traumatized by that damn cheerleader in Heroes.

They probably did. I wasn't alive in the 50's but all the oldies I know call it pop. The term pop has been around forever. Detroit classic Faygo Pop has been around since at least the early 1900's and their number one flavor is literally called redpop. I doubt the show runners or writers have done extensive research on it either and I would side-eye anything from this show that would pretend to be historically accurate to that extent. They are trying , though, to be accurate to the area where the show takes place and it is appreciated. There was a (bad) show called Detroiters that I loved only because it was so accurate. One of the companies in the show was an actual advertising agency in Southfield and in one episode the main characters walked in and they were in the actual building, which I knew because I'd been there before and I recognized the cool front doors. So far, the fifties and earlier characters have been from the south and New York. They (or any of the non-local characters) can ask for a soda as long as a local looks at them strangely and asks why they want soda water. "Wouldn't you rather have a pop?"

Pop

When the doctor mentioned that Claudette's leg injury was so much better so quickly, I thought they were going to make him a super-healer. I was a little disappointed when they didn't. It's a little less common. As a Detroit-area resident, it was fun to see some of the local references. Belle Isle, the DIA, Vernor's, Palmer Woods.... I don't think they'll make it out to my neck of the woods, but it's still fun to hear some familiar place names. I swear the first time someone asks for a "soda", I'm turning it off. I saw that in another show that supposedly took place in Detroit and it takes you right out of the story.

But It’s soooo beautifulllll. Sooooo. Beautifuulllll.
