I just really can't stand the mom. I'm just tired of the plotline that someone can be an absolute nightmare, treat everyone like crap and all is forgiven because they're sad and are vulnerable for a moment.
Tunde and Only continue to be the best. And teaching Dele about the Sugarhill Gang and Eric B. & Rakim is golden.

I thought this episode was completely out of character. Bob dropped out of college to, as Dottie described it, save the company. He internalized the stress to the point where he gave himself a heart attack. The TV commercial responsible for their current success presented the company as a family organization, and then Mom put 16 of them — including the son who saved the company — on a performance improvement plan. Even if we get the sweet Bob back, the damage is done to his relationship with the floor staff.
Abishola was gleeful to report to her Mother that Bob had to work overtime? Why wasn’t Abishola concerned about his heart and health overall? Did they retcon the heart attack? And Olu and Tunde used to be impressed by Bob’s success, which was a reason they encouraged Abishola to date him.
This show doesn’t need an asshole teen, and the storylines aren’t funny. Please don’t go there with Dele.
See and I thought they all were completely in character. Dottie has never come across as the most compassionate of characters and she hsan't really show much motherly consideration to her kids. Her completly ignoring everything her eldest child has done for the company (and for her) and willing to cut bait on employees, long term loyalty be damned ... yeah, I can see that. Of course, I think Dottie's a dick so I may be biased a little.
Abishola is a little more odd, but I just figured she's reverting back to old childhood behaviors "always please mom" that was ingrained in her since birth. Those are characteristics that are hard to let go.

So I'm doing a West Wing rewatch to appease the nostalgia gods and I'm reminded of a major UO which is that I would have liked to see Hoynes be president after Bartlet. I enjoyed the Vinick vs Santos campaign storyline but I thought the early seasons did a great job of fleshing Hoynes out after our initial negative impression. He never stopped being himself but he also had issues he firmly cared for and could see the bigger picture. Two of my favorite Hoynes moments are in the season 2 premiere: 1) when the Secret Service burst in to take him to a secure location he gets a look of horror because he understands immediately what's going and 2) when he doesn't care if the military guys in the Situation Room stand for him when he enters. Prior to that we'd have assumed he'd take advantage of the shooting to make himself look good but he didn't.
It would have been nice to see how he would have ended up if he'd been allowed to continue that same character trajectory. Again, I enjoyed Vinick vs Santos but Hoynes will always be my What If.
I always liked Hoynes and thought he got a bad rap. Sure he wasn't Bartlett but sometimes Jed could be a dick. I thought it was last writing to always want to make Hoynes the bad guy.

Everytime I see the opening credits I always think: just how freaking huge is that house supposed to be?? It looks ginormous!

Just because it gives away that they're Canadians playing Americans, and I'm petty enough to be thinking: Gotcha!
That's more an American way of saying that word?? While I occasionally say it both ways, I by far pronounce it with a long "I" sound. And I'm from the southern US (primarily).

I want as into this episode as the past ones. Nikki was a little much and really needs to be told that her friends are grown adults and can make their own decisions regardless of whether or not there l they're good decisions, but this is a super typical succumb trope, so I can't get that upset.
Did anyone catch what happened to the groom though? I feel like I missed something from him overheating his fiancee had doubts to seeing her dance at the end.
I also love Noah. I needed to put that in the universe

I enjoy it a lot more on YouTube now that the video is part of it. Watching them interact as themselves and more as the characters is pretty entertaining.

What did Connor mean at the beginning of the episode, that Silo was "paid for" already? I guess it's a Valentine's special with a certain number of courses, but restaurants force you to pay for everything up front to reserve the table?
Yes. It's been my experience on major holidays (not Valentine's day but Christmas and Thanksgiving) that restaurants are reservation only, pre fixe menu, and prepay. You have a table and that table is paying, regardless if anyone eats.
Sarah continues to annoy.
Edit: man, I cannot post on my phone without messing up

Nancy (?) can stay in the cholera cellar. Her crap got old real quick and her voice reminded me of Cam’s sister in Modern Family (who might be the most annoying character ever).
It doesn’t really bother me when some of the ghosts are missing, if anything I think it makes it more realistic and all of them competing for the 20 minutes of screen time would get too much.

I can guarantee there are people who haven't heard of this case at least to any serious degree. I know them. They don't follow news and have no social media. They may have heard the name but know nothing about what it means or the background.

Not automatically. The judge and lawyers would ask question to determine is the person could be unbiased. The lawyers can ask for anyone they think can’t be impartial to be dismissed for cause. That decision is up to the judge. Each side also has a set number of preemptive challenges that can be used to dismiss anyone they feel won’t be favorable to their side without cause (as long as it’s not discrimination).
It is possible for a judge to determine a sexual abuse survivor can be impartial and to come up late enough in the process that the defense is out of challenges.
On purpose to get on the jury and convict or on purpose to cause a mistrial?
See that’s what I was thinking, that it’s not necessarily automatic so I was confused as to why the response so aghast. I wouldn’t think it would (assuming the court found they could be objective). I didn’t know if I was missing something.

There are more stories coming out about this, and it seems like a new trial is going to be a forgone conclusion.
This is in The Guardian:
This juror is an executive assistant at The Carlyle Group, according to a Bloomberg article behind a paywall, and has now retained a well-known attorney to represent him. So for someone seemingly somewhat sophisticated in the business world, it is baffling how negligently he acted in his questionnaire responses and after-trial interviews. That Bloomberg article behind a paywall also mentions that identifying as a sexual abuse survivor on the questionnaire subjected the respondents to additional sealed questioning by the judge and attorneys. So it’s not a given he would have been removed for cause, but Maxwell’s attorney not having the opportunity to question him about it is a huge issue in my eyes, since he is saying that his experience swayed deliberations.There is also a second juror who was also a sexual abuse survivor who brought it up during deliberations, but the articles I’ve read so far are unclear about whether that person disclosed it on their questionnaire.
This is what I had initially heard as well. Of he truly did share it during deliberations that's concerning.
Question: would a sexual abuse survivor automatically be excused as a juror?

I guess I'm the rare one (possibly only one): I do not care about spoilers. Know ahead of time how it ends (movies, tv, books, etc) does not affect my enjoyment at all.
I have no interest in the Lucy movie, I just don't get why everyone hates that Kidman is playing her? She's a lot less annoying than the actual Lucy.

I’m confused but admit my memory is crap. I thought Dennis and Dee grew up with a different man as their father and only in the second season learned Frank was their real father?
Just the opposite. Frank raised them and as adults found out that Stephen Collins (can't remember the characters name) was their biological father.

This could get interesting. Ren buys the ranch, and finds out that the Duttons are her neighbors. Fireworks!
That would be way more interesting than anything currently being shown. And less annoying characters.
Of course my favorite part was TTea getting his ass kicked. Downside is the undercover (Justin?) has him so he won't just kill him. That's unfortunate. And I really need Darwin's natural selection to kick him and take those kids out. Maybe not the boy. He may be okay, but two main girls? Yeah, I'm done. Do you think the writers know they are not at all likeable or just clueless?

Ahh nostalgia. Neither scripts were standouts in the original series and I vaguely remember people not really loving the scripts that were chosen last year either so I do wonder how that gets chosen. Anniston was fine but grossly miscast and I have no idea who Ann Dowd or the Tolman (?) person is. No always annoyed me on the original cast so that colored my impression of Hahn, but wow even original Jo want quite as ridiculous. Honestly I think Arnett and O'Connell were my favorites. They seemed like they were having a blast.

People on TV shows start home baking businesses but never have to deal with health department regulations. I know "it's only a TV show", but I have a friend who had to add an entire separate kitchen to his house to start his business. It could actually be an interesting episode to see them handling the consequences of a health inspection.
I know Florida allows cottage food kitchens (something like that). It allows people to produce certain foods for sale in their home kitchens. I believe it's only certain types of food (I know baked goods are okay, there's probably others) and you can't earn over a certain amount on a year.

I mean if the dog is a stray I doubt that old pizza is the worst thing he's eaten. Ideal? No, but one slice isn't going to kill him. And it looked like a basic cheese pizza

I hate the idea of T-lock so much that if he and Ronald got in a fight, I would root for for Ronald.
And I also feel like I lost some brain cells actually typing that dumbass nickname.

Ben Stone is dead. It was revealed he died of an illness on the SVU episode The Undiscovered Country, and Jack gave the eulogy at his funeral and talked to Ben’s son Peter, also a prosecutor, about him. I guess you don’t follow SVU. It was a well done tribute to Ben I thought, and since there was zero chance of the actor ever coming back, it didn’t bother me that he died, and Jack’s words about him at the funeral were very true to Ben’s character and it was a well done, moving scene.
Well crap. I don't follow SVU so thanks for the info. It's good to know that they did right by him though. Thank you.

My absolute dream would be Ben back but that will NEVER happen. Paul would be a good second. Jack always sort of annoyed me.
I don't see AA coming back while shooting black-ish (or if the studios would let him).
The only time I would accept a crossover with SVU is if was a massive investigation of all the bullshit Olivia has pulled over the years.

For the fish product…why can’t they sell their product without the fish. People could by locally. That way, their costs would be more stable and the product would be shelf stable.
When I looked at their website there wasn't much of anything else except fish. A couple of crab cake and the fish.

I think I've spent about $300-400 on a purse before but I've always found Birkin's ugly do I've never gotten the appeal. I did like how it got delivered by a white glove doorman. Wonder if he had security for delivery?
I don't remember them every mentioning the beauty pageant part but some of those dresses were PRETTY!! And of course Dave had JNCO.
