We LOVE this show.....every episode, even those where Dre gets all preachy have been some of the best tv on these days. ....except THIS episode. We literally tried 2x to watch it but it just got waaaaay to preachy. We get it.....there were slaves a long time ago. Indigenous peoples were taken advantage of. It really really sucked for them. It should never happen again. They played to their constituents.....good for them. We will continue to look forward to Blackish every week....but this was an episode we will avoid every time it comes back in re runs.

Can we go back 2 weeks...to the scene where the electronics store "executive" (for lack of better term) chews out the staff before firing the lesbian? If that's not the perfect video to have HR dept's show their new leaders under the heading of "how not to run a meeting"..... Where I work, he'd have been fired for at least a dozen different things he said or did in those few minutes. It was absolutely hilarious in an 'over-the-top' way.

It looks like they might actually try to wrap this whole thing up in the next 2 episodes.....thankfully they're not going to try and stretch the story into another season. However....they did mention a new arena/center on the TV...but if they're going to try and tie the boy band concert to it, they're going to have to hurry. If they decide not to go the concert route, then we lose Thing 2, the shaved head...the wheelchair...staying at the motel the night before....the other kids he sees at the show including Jerome's little sister....the whole "being searched" on his way in.....Hodges heart attack....Holly's use of the happy slapper Kind of like having them re-do the original Star wars but leave out the death star.....

Has Alan EVER SEEN THE SHOW BEFORE? Rule #1: Work hard but lay low. Stick your head up and be noticed...especially in a super negative way...is the best way to go home quickly. On the other hand: Chrissy showed her Survivor chops. She knew folks would vote for her or Katrina so she lumped her vote in to ensure Katrina went home. At that point, her using the idol would have been pointless. The person she wanted to go home was going home. The PO reminds me, as well, WAAY to much of Tony. Again.....be a dick, go home. Lastly....can't you see the bell hop in his little bell hop uniform? The pillbox cap...the buttoned up shirt. He'd look like a cartoon version of one for sure!

I LOST my bet with my wife.... ! Ally did not scream and cry at all this episode....I guess that's actually a win for me, even though I lost the bet. We saw Chaz's name in the opening but honestly didn't figure out which character it was until much later. THAT is some awesome acting.....we were very impressed! What was the point of Kai in the shower? It was clear that he wanted to be caught....but to what end?

Ally's litany of bad decisions.....let us count the ways.... Approaching the protesters Running over to scream at the neighbors after Mr Guinea went ka-bluey Opening the door to anyone at this point Running in front of the truck spraying the green gas Shooting through her security door Not holding on to Ozy any number of times....the latest being when Ozy just walked into the neighbors house Not firing Winter ....feel free to add yours! The best thing about this latest episode....was Ally FINALLY being told off by Ivy. How much crazy is a partner supposed to forgive? ...and don't forget that it was the weird brother/(ex)sister neighbors that shot the footage of Kai getting beaten..... what's the connection there?

DOES ANYONE KNOW..... if they plan on wrapping the series up in the next couple of episodes or are they going to go the "Dome" route and keep adding seasons even though the story ends up not being ANYTHING like the book? What they did to the Dome was absolutely despicable. So far, no mention of anything related to a Boy Band or their big circus themed concert where all the shit eventually goes down....which worries me that they'll either ignore it and end the series in the next couple weeks.....or that they'll extend it to next year. Both of these are terrible.

Yea....i see Grace .....nowhere these days.

Once they get to the final 2, it was 100% clear that Darci was going to win. There's no chance they would have underage girl singers win 2 years in a row. That said, I echo those who praised Simon for going directly over to Angelica once the winner was announced to talk to her while everyone was congratulating Darci. He's a smart producer and that showed him to also be a decent human being. I've noticed that Darci's jaw is built for her act. There's something....different...about how it's set that I think allows her to sing like she does without her face changing. It is an awesome talent for sure...but will it change as she grows? All i can say is that she absolutely held her own with Fator on stage. She had a week to work on that act and she didn't skip a beat with her patter and back/forth with Terry. Lastly... my wife and I always talk about "Is this act really Vegas-Show worthy?" We would absolutely pay to see a show that had both Diavolo and Light Balance....doing bits back to back like we saw last night. Even Darci, in the end, is a one trick pony (singing ventriloquism), Sara/Hero have serious limitations beyond a 3 min bit and none of the singers were worthy of more than a side show act in a casino bar.

Is anyone else COMPLETELY tired of Sarah Paulson crying and screaming throughout each AHS series? In Hotel, she had makeup in every episode that made it look like she was constantly crying 24/7. In Roanoke, she ran and cried and screamed and ran and cried and screamed. So far, each episode has had her crying and screaming.....with absolutely no end in sight. I have a bet with my wife that every single episode this year will have her crying/screaming at length. Given how much of a loony tune she is playing this year, I feel safe that I will collect.

Spot on! The first letter was analyzed by the Det Ret in super detail....phrasing, word choice.... I also saw Brady's mom as being older, stockier....someone who wouldn't be able to get out of her chair later when she eats her last burger... :-) Holly is written as a child/adult....someone mentally withdrawn at an older age. I haven't see who they have playing her... Yes...Hodges with the heavy accent was not what I had in mind AT ALL (love the actor....was awesome in In Bruges....just not right for this role). Trilani's sister Janey was definitely older than Mary Louise-Parker in the book. As much as they make Hodges seem attractive to other women, there's no way I'd believe him getting on top of her later....much less them falling in love with each other. My take on the neighbor (Ida) is that she's being given a much bigger role in the show to set up her being killed by Brady in a way that will really get under Hodges' skin. I can't think of any other reason to push her so hard into the story. Janey will be the love interest later....me thinks this is just a Macguffin of sorts.

I'm thrilled that the early reviews of IT have been mostly over the top positive.....but the idea that they'd somehow be able to replicate "turtles flying through space" at the end seems too much to ask. Actually...I just wish King hadn't gone down that rabbit hole in the book at all. It was spectacular.....sans that BS.

I'd only point our poor Dave in Season 3 who, after 73 days, got yanked by medical for being to thin....but had a pile of fish stored... but decided not to eat it so he could stretch his supplies further. Of all the people that I hope comes back for next season, he'd be at the top of my list. I think he could have given Fowler a run for the money if he hadn't made that particular self-inflicted mistake.

You really can't compare Survivor with Alone. As mentioned, not only do they have regular rewards but they always seem to have SOME rice or beans or other food sources.

I'll start! First....loved the book....wasn't thrilled about the trilogy...but I digress My first impression from the opening scenes (job fair lineup) was "hey, this is exactly what i envisioned this would look like". But...the Det Ret's accent? The neighbor lady being a focal point early on? Mrs Trilani's backstory, especially the part with the Mercedes dealership and mechanic relating what they recalled? Are they going to switch the "big event" at the end from a boy band concert to a trade show? I haven't seen yesterday's ep yet......so I have great hopes still being that King was a co-producer....
