  1. I cannot handle bad stuff happening to kids. Totally cried at the end of this episode once Weasel's backstory was completely revealed. Though now that I'm drained emotionally, wouldn't the cops have kinda pieced together what happened? The kids were obviously killed by the explosion so while I get why they would have kept Weasel to study, I don't think they would have concluded that he was a murderer. Also, two cops and neither of them tries to save the kid? The kid who is obviously still alive? That was just sad for sad's sake. EDIT: Also, I'm guessing the princess is some centuries old, energy sucking vampire type thing bent on world domination. That would explain why the queen looks like she does and why she seduced Flagg Sr (probably figured he'd be useful to her later and look, here he is trying to warn her).
  2. Maybe she could trade it in and get a less expensive car instead? I think you'd have to compare the extra money in taxes to the cost of possible maintenance for an older car.
  3. I would say it comes off as vanity, more than anything. Jonathan constantly mugging for the camera and saying crass stuff just to be outrageous for no reason. Antoni giving pouty looks in every dance transition shot. Jeremiah seems to actually be sincere but the rest? Eh, it seems a lot more about them than the "hero" of the week. They're probably just bored with it after nine seasons and should have moved on when Bobby did, but here we are. That being said, I am enjoying this season a lot...but if they announced a new cast next season (save for Jeremiah), I wouldn't be upset.
  4. I just finished that one. I kept hoping that they would offer to pay for the woman to get a breast reduction, but alas, they did not. I've known two women that got them in the past few years (one was an E cup prior, not sure about the other as I only met her post surgery) and they both said it was a great decision. I know it would be a massive gift but still, I was holding out hope for her. I'd say so far that's been the best episode of the season for me as that woman and her child really needed help and she was so grateful to receive it.
  5. My husband and I actually saw Piff the Dragon in Vegas about five years ago. He was really good! I'm assuming the entire purpose of him being on the show was to get himself all fixed up to propose to the girlfriend (and free promotion), because we met him after our Vegas show and he didn't come off awkward at all, so I don't think he really needed help otherwise.
  6. Yeah, I just started the wedding episode and I think I'm just going to fast forward or skip it completely. If they really wanted to get married, they could have. My wedding was planned in six months and there were 200+ guests (my husband and I both have large extended families). They could have had that thing planned and done before she even started showing. And I can't with people who feel the need to say things like, "I don't want a traditional wedding." We get it, you're so not like other girls. EDIT: Okay, I fast forwarded to end. What exactly was "non-traditional" about this wedding? Her floral dress? Because all the rest was pretty standard. Ugh, I just feel like these people were lazy and looking for a free wedding. I don't need every episode to be a sob story, but I would prefer it be people that need actual help.
  7. I feel that this is a trend on shows right now. Like, Hollywood hired a bunch of writers with family issues and they're all working them out via their scripts.
  8. Are you kidding me? This show finally gets Keith David to guest star and it's as Ava's father instead of Barbara's brother? Come on! Those two have so much freakin' gravitas in their voices, it's insane to not have them play siblings. Ugh, it's like when they cast Taraji P. Henson to play Janine's mother instead of Sherri Shepherd. Wasn't a fan of this episode. As others have stated, they've been doing Holiday/Winter shows for years (even my public school in freakin' Utah in the early 90s had a holiday show, where we sang a mix of winter songs, Christmas songs and Hannukah songs), so I'm not believing that the scenario shown would even happen. And Jacob really got on my nerves this episode. You're the older brother, act like it! Being rude to this brother because he's mad at his parents is just ridiculous.
  9. Just finished watching this for the first time (Got halfway though season 2 on Netflix before I realized I could watch it on Max without commercials). I really enjoyed it but I hate how they had Keith go out. It didn't even make sense. One, he was a cop/bodyguard, not anything dealing with transporting money and two, if you own the business, you're probably not out there personally transporting stuff at age 61. It's especially insulting since everyone else got to die at a nice old age rather peacefully. If they wanted him to go out early, they could have at least given him a better death (pushing a grandkid out of the way of a speeding car or something) instead of having him go violently and alone.
  10. Moana 2 comes out on Nov. 27th.
  11. Okay, so I'm in the middle of watching the interview Sunny did with Matt Murphy about the Menendez brothers. Why don't they do this as a segment on the actual show, instead of just the Youtube channel? It's way better than the fluff interviews they usually do.
  12. I think what she meant was that she can't take large orders in advance since their equipment has been having issues and they don't know how much they'll be able to make day to day. So someone from the show probably called in the morning before the show about the order and since the boiler (broiler?) was working that day, they were able to make the cakes and freeze them until the next day, but they couldn't guarantee that that would have been possible a month in advance. While I agree that they need to fix their equipment, such things are costly and time consuming, so it might not be in the budget right now.
  13. Forgot to add, about Oz killing Vic after poor Vic says they're like family, if you look at all the other mob bosses, it's basically because of family that they get taken out. Sal's family is his weak spot and his trying to avenge their deaths leads to his heart attack. Sofia gets betrayed by her family, then sticks around to avenge the death of her brother, which ultimately leads to her downfall. So while Oz may be a psychopath, it's interesting that the theme if "family's a liability if you're in the mob" is quietly running in the background throughout the show.
  14. The entire show only takes place over a few months, right? So it's possible that no one really knew that Dr. Rush was hanging out with Sofia since she was probably paying him off the books and basically everyone who knew he was working with her is dead. So if he still had contacts at Arkham, then it wouldn't be that hard to get his old job back (I assume that Arkham has staffing issues, given the awful working environment).
  15. I had one fleeting moment in the middle of the episode where I was thinking, "Wait, is Vic actually going to make it out of this series alive?" But then common sense prevailed and I was all, "No, Oz is going to murder him" and I was right. I knew Vic couldn't make it out of the series because they'd need his death to really nail in that the Penguin is a bad guy. Also, where would the character go from here? Make a random cameo in The Batman 2? I didn't expect his death to be so brutal though. I thought Oz would at least make it quick and shoot him or something. Especially cruel to have it be a slow death where Vic is fully aware of being betrayed by a man he'd come to view as family. I saw the second in command double cross coming as well as Sofia getting put back in Arkham. Didn't expect Catwoman to write her though, so maybe she'll bust her sister out at some point? Because I would like to see more of Sofia. What did totally catch me by surprise was Eve dressed as Oz's mother. Good for you show, because that was totes disturbing. Also, Eve, you're in danger, girl! Out of all the weird stuff she's probably had to do as a hooker, I'd imagine that's got to rank in her top 5. I felt that the first four episodes of this show were the strongest but it was still a satisfying viewing experience overall. Even though I called a lot of the twists in the last episode, that finale is still sticking with me the morning after, so that says something. Now I just need The Batman 2 to come out, where hopefully we get to see Sofia and Oz again (even if it's just for Sofia to get some revenge on Oz before dying, cuz I mean, she did kill an entire city block's worth of people).
