  1. @Daff-That answers a question that I had and confirms one of my suspicions. Somethings things go (horribly) wrong and there is nothing the midwife can/could do to fix it. Sometimes despite all the best intentions and training, things happen beyond their control and ability to fix. I liked the younger midwives asking for a fair wage/salary. I am interested in seeing where the plot line goes. They are trained professionals with advanced/training degrees and they deserve to be paid accordingly (at least enough to live on comfortably). While the nuns made a vow of poverty, that should not have to apply to the secular nurses. It's a shame that so many caretaking/stereotypical women's jobs are not paid as well as they should be. (hope that last sentence isn't too political). I liked that Trixie was able to maintain her cool in a crisis and set an excellent examples for the new midwife.
  2. Unfortunately, it's not too young. Plenty of people start drinking at high-school parties at that age. I may be overthinking this, but what if that is their normal regular refund for the year? Sheldon does their taxes, he might not tell them what the refund is supposed to be, or knowing Sheldon, told them but they were too busy doing something else so they didn't hear him/didn't remember. And Georgie. It seemed toward the end of TTBT Georgie and Sheldon were starting to reconnect and develop a better relationship. I can picture Georgie telling Sheldon stories about what happened when they were younger and giving him more information than he had before. I forgot Hudson University had a law school. This is how you know you are among serious TV/Movie people and I love it. I liked that Billy was totally willing to go along with Missy's idea of a party. I found it amusing that his mother wants him to do normal teenage things, and is willing to let him have a wild party.
  3. I loved this episode. It may be my favorite episode of the season. At first, I was incredibly excited because I thought we were going to get a time-travel fantasy dream sequence (like Castle or Moonlighting, but since they did reference Moonlighting, I'm still hopeful we'll get one in a later season). I think the title is a reference to Dial M For Murder, the plot has nods to Rear Window (Todd being stuck and convincing someone, especially a woman, that he's right and getting her to help) as well as elements of film noir, like the femme fatale. Todd is a swirling vortex of chaotic comedy drawing in as many people as he can. This is what I tune in for and I was not disappointed. The show is silly zany fun with a case of the week.
  4. I not only LOVE that they carried the Godzilla figures on the red carpet and when they went to accept, but also that they were part of the official picture for the winner.
  5. It's a Canadian show that doesn't feel Canadian. I'm guessing because it was a joint production between a U.S and a Canadian company so it was designed to some degree for the U.S market. Overall, I enjoyed the episode. Ellis and Max make a great team. They clearly have romantic feelings for each other but they are not going to admit them. If a kiss did happen, it would have been like this. (It's from Moonlighting which is now available on Hulu)
  6. I agree. Lydic and Costas are so much better when they are allowed to be themselves and not do shtick or characters. I learned some new things about MLM during the interview.
  7. Here is my mini-rant about Paul Newman and the Oscars. Although Paul Newman finally won for The Color of Money, he should have won for The Hustler or Cool Hand Luke. Back to the topic of this year's ceremony: I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but there's some fascinating behind the scenes stuff about the naked John Cena bit. It starts at 5:19.
  8. The rebuttal is a prepared speech delivered live, much like the State of the Union itself.
  9. There's a joke about "make him an offer he can't refuse" somewhere in this but I can't quite find it/put into words.
  10. I totally agree with you 100% on this. I think my basic rule would be the cameras are not allowed to cut away from the screen. During the In Memoriam segment, you can have singers and/or musicians but the camera needs to be focused on the screen for the entire segment so the people at home can actually see what is on the screen for the entire segment.
  11. He did a movie version of Merchant of Venice 20 years ago. The issue wasn't timing. The issue was how it was filmed/edited/presented to the viewers at home.
  12. I agree with everyone who hated the In Memoriam segment. This may be the absolute worst ever. It is not a production number, it is not about the people/performers on stage. I have no idea how, or when or why the producers of the Oscars got into their heads that the In Memoriam segment is supposed like a best original song number but it needs to stop. The In Memoriam segment is supposed to be a tribute to those we lost and a chance to remember their work. This is impossible to do when you cannot see or barely see the screen showing the name and their role/title (director, writer, actor, what not). Focus on what is playing on the screen and do not I repeat DO NOT have something happening on the stage. You have a fantastic orchestra in the room. Let them play something suitable and everyone will be happy with the result while we sadly reflect on the talent we lost.
  13. I loved the number. I'm disappointed it didn't win best original song. My only problem with the pink sparkly suit was that he blended into the pink background too much, but maybe that was the point. He's just Ken living in Barbie's pink world and he isn't always noticed. Am I overthinking this?
  14. @scarynikki12, @Constant Viewer, @ShadowHunter I also loved that they all had toy Godzillas with them. I only saw one on the red carpet, but it wasn't until they went up to accept the award that I realized each member of the team had a Godzilla. It was adorable and wonderful until they had to figure out how to get to and read their speech.
