  1. This was especially upsetting because both her and Bebe were acting as if May Ling was kidnapped. Despite the tragic circumstances Bebe did leave her at the firehouse and the adoption was done in good faith and with love, so despite Bebe's grief, her outrage was really not justified and Mia who knew the people involved behaved outrageously.
  2. Nice catch :). This now makes sense.
  3. I was wondering why after shouting "Austin Fire and Rescue" Owen didn't add: "please open the door" before motioning to TK to breach the door, without even a warning in case someone is standing on the other side. Even if the grandma was too distracted to remember the door was closed, this would have reminded her.
  4. Exactly. I must admit this whole plot point eludes me. I kept thinking that I must have missed something here, because it never made sense, not when KIm suggested it and even less when the dumb pair went thru their rampage. The only point that sort of contributed to the story was that they went for a much larger drug buy, which is probably what resulted in the packets being stuck in the drain pipe.
  5. This. He was clearly in tears when he heard her scream. This way he could get his sister what she wanted and still give Soji a chance while seeming to try and kill her.
  6. After Harry Treadaway role as Brady in Mr. Mercedes, Narek is positively a sweetheart :)
  7. Ditto. He sometimes sounds shady and others sincere. So either the writers told him to leave it open or this is just inconsistent acting. I am quite sure he did something shady that he is trying to hide but on a personal level is still very likable.
  8. Both mothers used sperm from a sperm bank that apparently came from the same donor (they came from a small town) but the families were not acquainted. It did seem a little strange because I would assume, to be on the safe side, that sperm banks would not leave multiple samples in the same place, especially not if its a small town.
  9. Later it occurred to me that this scenario could only be accepted and nearly unnoticed because the kid was not actually killed and the people who were killed were either unknown to us or not even shown.
  10. What really disturbed me was that they were taking care of the copied man by providing him with an alibi, while essentially waiting for another kid to be murdered. They knew what the killer will look like and that he was hunting for kids and yet did not even try to do anything about it. Also did not try to find and stop the killer "helper" from providing new bodies for it. There is zero urgency in what they are doing while people are being killed.
  11. He was asking her advice as press secretary when and how to release this information so it does the least harm. Read more And later when Mayor and Wife appeared together holding hands on TV, Press Secretary had a line like, "That's what I did," which I presumed was as opposed to Press Secretary having a hot date with Mayor at his most vulnerable moment, but maybe that was not the intended subtext? I saw it as her patting herself on the shoulder for giving him a good professional advice, which he followed, i.e. filling the news cycle with positive message supporting women, with his wife by his side, which will make the news about the divorce a small private issue that will not harm him or humiliate his wife.

  13. Susan Heyward. I remember her from Powers. When IMDb or Wikipedia fail me on guest stars I turn to TVmaze as they list them in the episode description and usually with a picture: https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/1796088/tommy-1x03-lifetime-achievement
  14. i find Jenny's behavior confusing more than her health problems. She always speaks with a vague expression as if she is not all there, which for her profession does not make sense. It was the same in the first season as well when she did not have tiredness as an excuse. I now think its the actress choice more than what the script indicates. It reminds me a little of Ally Walker in Profiler (a 1996-2000 TV series).
  15. I loved 'Wild Bill' as well and really hoped for a second series, but reading the premise of this show I had to laugh. It almost looked like Wild Bill was either the inspiration for this one or a test run to show that Rob Lowe can do this kind of character (police/fireman). Fish out of water, baggage form previous place, daughter/son relationship and he is an executive producer on both series.
  16. I did not get the impression she was petting it, but actually hurting him by squeezing his nape very hard. He was not enjoying it but grimacing and groaning. You could also see that of course this caused her pain as well, which looked a little like indirect self harming. It was really odd. There were two other examples, sweet ones in this case, of the synchronicity between the characters and their daemons: the one you mentioned of Marisa Coulter and Lord Asriel daemons making out even before their humans kissed, sort of a hint of what was going on in their minds even before they acted on it. The other one was Roger's daemon going backward with him when they entered the bathroom with Lyra in the tab. Does this mean that Roger can see what his daemon sees? It was extremely sweet & funny.
  17. I came in knowing nothing of the books or video games and so the flood of unfamiliar names and rivalries and the whole mythology was a bit much at the beginning. However, as I was never a fan of fantasy or comic books and only came to both late thru movies and TV series, I knew I just had to flow with it and will eventually understand who is who. I have to give this series credit for doing it so well and clearly enough that it was captivating from the start and made clear surprisingly quickly. What I really really enjoyed is that they took their time revealing (for the uninitiated like me) that the Geralt & Cirilla threads until now have been happening several decades apart. Even showing Yennefer and striga transformations as almost parallel becomes stronger with the realization that they are separated by time as well as place.
  18. I know Nick is not supposed to know who is under the mask, but I have to assume he is told before the reveals. It would be really embarrassing if after they take the mask off and he has to announce their name, he has no idea who they are. With some of the less well known ones, especially non singers, it can happen :).
  19. checked the episode again and my comment was a mistake but delete not allowed
  20. Hitting the deer was done so well I nearly got a heart attack. I have seen quite a lot of unexpected hits in tv series and movies but never with such an impact. On another subject I really liked how Smitty reacted to Bridget trying to touch him after he got out of prison. He really got how sick her reaction both times was. He was not trying to emulate her father to get her approval, he just wanted to show her how wrong her expectations from him were.
  21. I got the impression that Kristen was really spooked and this was why she reacted so violently. They showed her earlier frantically tucking David's shirt under all the other clothes to hide it at the bottom of the laundry basket but here suddenly she saw the cat had somehow pulled it up again to the top. It looked almost deliberate, like he was showing off her "secret" to her husband.
  22. I never thought I would be happy to see anyone shoot himself in the head but this was so right. Especially after I was sure they would go the projected route of David sins, misses the church group that is slaughtered and is haunted by guilt thru the remainder of the series. . Yes indeed - All right, show!
  23. I also don't like her personality and am often annoyed by her interference and meddling but in this case she was right on both counts. Its a matter of context and degree. Glassman does need to let Shaun handle more decisions on his own but the death of his father is a major life change and anyone, especially young people, not just someone with Shaun difficulties, need emotional support to handle it.
  24. After liking Freddie Highmore so much in this series I started watching Bates Motel and when Shawn said to Glassman: "I liked it better when it was just the two of us" I was eerily reminded of Norman Bates reaction to discovering his mother married the Sheriff. This is the third series where Freddie Highmore plays a character who is emotionally damaged in varying degrees (he played a returning soldier form ww2 suffering from PTSD in the BBC mini series Close to the Enemy, between the two last seasons of Bates Motel). What I find really impressive is how, while physically looking exactly the same he managed to give such completely different yet nuanced performances in all three series.
