Affogato

Is it possible Mulder flew on a private jet with the cigarette smoking man? I seem to remember something like that, but vaguely. Haven’t watched for years.

No, of course not, but there are different kinds of jobs. Anyway, a lot of detectives are characterized as being obsessed. They neglect their families and personal lives and end up not listening to their bosses one time too many, at which point they become hard drinking, hard core PIs with a soft spot for women who need help. Maybe their old partner, who is still on the force, is killed and they are the only one who cares enough to give the partner’s wife closure….

A remarkably transactional, even sociopathic interaction. If the women is compassionate to the cat, she is a compassionate person and likely has moments with the child as well. And the child is being modeled respect for other living creatures. I think sometimes a commercial can be taken at face value.

I was hoping the Breen would look like dogs.

I thought she was mean not letting him have the waternmelon, Then, he must have been really vicious out of the box.

I think, possibly?, but I could have missed it. They spent a lot of time on that backstory, given there are established characters that need attention. I read an interview that said that the people on the Discovery would end up in unexpected places at the end of this season. I wonder if Michael will go off with Book to do something, leaving Discovery to her new number one? I also wonder if Culber and Stamets will move to the Academy show with Tilly. Will Tilly end up captaining a teaching ship for the academy? Anyway, I assume everyone will go to Saru’s wedding….

Yeah, Wilson should have broken off with house a long time ago. Of course now…. It is hard. It is also realistic. Cuddy had to absolutely accept house wasn’t going to change. She needed him and he knew it and it makes emotional sense. i do agree that the show stopped being, well, fun? But I think the characters were consistent.

Or you can consider that House is a fairly abusive narcissist and this is part of the drawn out struggle that Cuddy has to get out of their codependent relationship. House has toxic relationships. Maybe she should have realized nothing would ever change before this incident, but this brought it into focus.

They are a series of books that I read and enjoyed. Less socially appropriate than either movie or show, but great characters.

This was a fantastic way to remind us of the distance discovery and its inhabitants have traveled, changed, while making many nods to star treks past.

There have been times for me when it wasthe only borderline watchable thing on the ymca exercise machine tvs, but I can’t remember the details of any episodes.

I had forgotten this show was still alive

Not what Paul uses as a yhreat in the books. Odd choice. But yes, Gurney had time to set up the weapons, bunkers, and so on.

Following someone’s life over time is an reasonable idea. “The Before Trilogy” is an example a d a rimance, too. If they have an actually thought it could be interesting.

You would think everyone except Klingons would want a neutered Tribble! I do. Moll is confusing in general. I also wonder at her motivations, because of the confusion. There is something we don’t know, I think.

I just saw this yesterday. I will remember this movie, for sure. Everyone in the gtoup I saw it with wanted the prequel movies, but ai think it stands on its own.

I think the deputy and Liv storyline have made the most progress, except for maybe Harry himself. There is actual growth and the healing of trauma and there are other changes in their lives, as well.

Well yes they kind of pulled Bran out of their rear end. He needed mire involvement and personality in the latter seasons. That had less build up than Dany to me. I don’t know about scarier but we were not told he wouldn’t be, really. Kind of a natural computer AI? As a small folk he may have been better, though. Less sudden fits of rage.

I think it is implied that she wants adulation and the adulation was not sufficient. I believe that one issue with the Targs was that the dragons minds affect humans and drive them to the psychopath end of the personality spectrum. Maybe like having a great power, say nukes, and being the one to make the decision. the video was fairly boring. She did not have brilliant insights, just fairly surface snark. The show needed more depth and less night king, absolutely. Since it was ending it needed to spend more thought on history it was based on and the characters. However the story wasn’t the triumph of the good queen Danaerys, she was a microcism of Targ failure and I think the point was the kingdoms needed something different v

The white whale analogy throws me. Also i wasn’t that upset by Michael looking for Walt. We shall see, though. It would be funny if reynar is her father.

Started this. Like the ambiance better.

I disagree, though. I thought season 6 was ‘the season of the witch’—not Willow, but when all the bills came due. Everyone mistakes caught up with them. It is the only season I rewatch regularly. i agree that the season was rushed. But also think people like to have expectations met in television. Everyone saw Dany being hurt by her family and saw her come out of it and they missed the signs she was becoming a monster as well. But they were there. That part wasn’t rushed.

I think it could have been done better, but in general I agree that it ended where it was supposed to end. I always always think of that episode of futurama where the aliens are attacking earth because they didn’t like the end of Ally McBeal. People want television shows to confirm their expectations, not challenge them.

I think that Saru isn’t going to return to Discovery and I don’t think T’Rina and Saru are going to be split up, by death or anything else. I think this show wants people to grow up and get new jobs, leave home, make life changing decisions that work out for them. Do you mean Booker is doing an Ahab with Moll, chasing the white whale of family connection? Because he kind of is. Raynar, I think that is unlikely. I think there is a chance that Michael goes off with Booker at the end of the series and Raynar becomes captain of the Discovery, maybe an offside chance. Anyway, I think this season is about people making those decisions about the direction their life is going to take when the series ends, I don’t think the plot (aspeople have mentioned) is really any more than a macguffin, really, although the end point (that they are seekers looking for the reason for their existance) is central. I’m not good at this, very often, but I really see a lot of self actualization and not a whole lot of death in this season.

I like them, too. I think they are handling the romances well. Adira and Grey are also going through relatable times for teenagers.
