Wow...where to begin...you know I can't even begin to unpack all this but I'll just say it's loaded with snark.

We’re still talking about Frankie effing Jr. going to the prom?

In this episode Teresa talked about "how hard she has to work" and she goes to "work" everyday. She also talked about all the "businesses" she has that are getting hurt by what's happened to her and Joe with going to prison . Question: WTF is she talking about? Where does she go to "work" everyday and what "businesses" of hers are taking a hit from their combined prison stints? Just asking....

Good point! Didn't think of that angle...

I haven't been keeping with this waste of space for awhile...why did Jenelle pick Nashville to move to? That's a fair distance away from Jace who is in North Carolina. Just wondering why that city when she claims to be so invested in seeing Jace as much as possible...ha ha.

Amen to everything you said...Trump won because there was the underlying hatred of minorities and the fear that "white" America was going to be the minority in the near future...add to that all the wealthy people who voted for him so they could get that big tax cut they feel they deserve. And your point about Bill's misogyny is spot on...this is a guy who spent a lot of time at the Playboy Mansion back in the day banging "bunnies" and Playboy Magazine models...he has said in recent interviews that he only dates much younger women...what a cliche he is. He's no feminist that's for sure.

Nice to see someone is validating my confusion and it isn't just an "old fart" moment I was having. As for the Kate character...I know my daughter dressed differently after high school (thankfully)...the Kate character just doesn't look 18...more like 15. But, whatever...a point that's not worth haggling over.

I was seventeen when Woodstock took place...lots of my friends went to it. I wish I had gone but my summer job kept me from attending...I really needed the money at the time. So whoever wrongly stated that early-mid 60's were likely not to have gone to Woodstock is just wrong. True, most of the attendees were people that are probably now in their late 60's early 70's but there were a fair number of high schoolers that attended...16-19 year olds.

Totally agree. Victoria's "design" was truly awful..in every way possible. Delvin's was uninspired but hers was just an unmitigated disaster. Yet, she stays in the competition?

Goof lord...she's gained a lot of weight in recent months...and what the hell is she promoting here? Some energy drink? If that's their spokesperson then they won't get many buyers.

My experience with my two sons when they were 20 was they wouldn't be caught dead going to a high school prom. They're already pretty ensconced in the social life at college and had zip in common with any high school girls. But that's just my two sons...the whole Frankie /Gia thing was a set up by the moms...let's be honest. And guess what...I really don't care...move on.

Why do you care so much??? Good question.

Still...20 is way older in maturity and experience than the boys at the prom.

Bingo! Teresa is the queen of denial...she lives in a constant state of denial and spin. And you are so right about David...he seems detached, unemotional and disinterested in anyone but himself. Also, I think he's pretty unattractive and creepy. I would feel real uncomfortable with him as an OB/GYN...eccchhh. He doesn't want to commit to Delores and probably could care less if she leaves him. They don't have a real relationship because David never makes time to do anything with her...she even said so. Her nagging him for a commitment is not going to make him do so...quite the opposite. She thinks she's so smart but apparently she's pretty dumb when it comes to men and relationships.

EXACTLY! Good grief! That was so over the top! And I'm sorry, "little" Frankie at age 21 or 22 going to a high school prom looked absurd. And all the fuss over him from Delores...just stop! We all see how in love you are with your baby boy. Gia has a major crush on him...that was obvious. Not one boy her age from her school asked her to the prom?

Right? I actually think there is something psychologically or cognitively wrong with him. He was arrogant, condescending, sarcastic and smarmy. He seemed a bit narcissistic to boot. He had no sympathy for his ex wife and never apologized for how he ruined her life and blew away their nest egg. My God...he's living on the streets and eating meals at shelters and he's sitting there acting like he's a healthy, normal retiree who happens to have five young women wanting to marry him? He almost seems addicted to these internet trolls who are milking him dry....it must give him some sort of a rush or high to go online and engage these women in romantic fantasies that are dependent on his gifts of money in order to continue their online relationship. It's very sad for his ex wife to have scrimp and save and work at her age to survive. And he's giving out money to "women" he does not know or has ever met instead of giving her a couple of hundred bucks a month to help with her financial situation...just awful. She must have seen some of this behavior during their marriage before he blew it all on online trading...I tend to think he was probably a pompous ass all of his adult life.

Wow...you have a helluva memory.

Uh...no. I’ve been watching since day one. I can’t keep track of where everyone is with all the back and forth of time/places/ages. Maybe because the actress playing teen age Kate looks 16 not 18...frankly, I don’t think anyone could jump into this show at this point in the series and possibly understand everything that is going on.

Uh...ok...I wasn't ridiculing her I was merely voicing concern for her health. How is that off topic? Wait what? Kate is an adult in those scenes with Mark? I thought she was 16 or 17...the actress playing her doesn’t look 18 and they have dressed like she’s still in high school.

I agree...however...it worries me to see someone be morbidly obese at such a young age. I worry for her health as this much weight puts her heart and other organs in a high risk category...high blood pressure, heart failure, diabetes...all are risk factors for her. At this juncture, she would probably have to have a gastric band procedure followed up with a dietician/coach to help her make the diet transition successful. Her health would improve and her life would be extended. Her weight is centered around her middle which is considered to be the worst place to carry it. I think Chrissie Metz is a very talented actress/singer and I hope she makes some personal changes that will help her to live long life.

While I really enjoy this show, I have a few problems with some of the characters. So Rebecca voices her concern over her daughter's boyfriend and the response from Kate is belligerent and nasty...Rebecca just allows this kind of disrespect? I have a daughter that was a teenager at one time and I would never have tolerated that level of disrespect and then allowed my teen daughter to spend the weekend at a family vacation home with an older guy. Come on This is Us writers...give me a break. The Rebecca character is soft on all her kids while they walk all over her. After Rebecca marries Miguel, the kids, now adults, launch their verbal brattiness onto Miguel. I don't know...just seems like an unrealistic portrayal of a parent's reaction to the tone and language of a mouthy kid.

I thought it was her...wow...time has not been kind to her.

Bingo on both of your replies...Bannon is a professional shit stirrer. His goal is to make people distrust candidates and election results. He's a part of a system of conspiracy theorists, Q Anon and Four Chan followers, white nationalists and lone wolf types that follow him on Brietbart and social media outlets. He's no genius...just another white guy with a grudge against women, Jews and people of color.

This show is OK...but I have a big problem with the way the team treats a crime scene or does home/workplace searches...they never wear gloves! No law enforcement professional goes into a crime scene or does a home/workplace search without putting gloves on. This omission is unbelievable. How do you make a show about the FBI and make an error like this? Very sloppy technical work on the part of the writers and director.

Bannon being "buffoonish" is hardly how I would describe him. He has spent the last year traveling all over Europe speaking at rallies and in lecture halls to white supremacist groups and supporters of Neo fascism...yelling his support of keeping Europe white and Christian...even saying that they should "wear the label of being a racist as a badge of honor". He's a dangerous man who is spinning conspiracy theories on everything as fast as he can make them up. He's a misogynist, an anti semite and a racist. Saying he has a "differing opinion" is absurd...his "opinions" are what's fueling hate...never mind his view of blowing up our government and the constitution.
