Ailianna

She's quick on the buzzer but she guesses a lot, based on her expressions, and is very timid in wagering. I predict she's gone in the first round. But why spend so much time talking about the TOC which isn't for months? Why acting like a sports announcer with score updates after every clue? It's Jeopardy! Not tennis.

I have many of the same concerns about how Sands was treated, but there's one bit of sexism I haven't seen anyone address. Its that Wanda's whole motivation is her kids. Such a 1950s stereotype of what a woman values. She shrugs off temporal/ruling power just for her kids. Now, Wanda has been seeking love and family since she was 10 and a Stark bomb failed to go off, but it is never questioned that her whole ambition is in "a woman's place." Which I think is heightened by the complete lack of Vision or Pietro or her parents. And I get that parents love their kids. There's just something about how this was presented that made me think they were making her an uber powerful "little woman" and it grated. I should add I love Wanda and WandaVision and hate them making her a villain again without some developed, emotionally resonant reason.

I wasn't saying his staff was in the actual Capital building. He still failed to address the fact they were in a secure Congressional office building without proper permits and where they were already asked to leave. Doesn't matter which building. They got a chance to leave and go back when they had permission and not after 8 pm. They just apparently didn't think they really had to. He didn't address that part at all.

Though he left out the widely reported information that they did not have permission to be in the hallways and had already been asked to leave once. I have a little less respect for him not addressing all the facts, only those that made his people sound blameless. If he wants to call out others for selective facts, he shouldn't engage in the same behavior.

They meant in competition for awards, not ratings.

But the judge wasn't going to the courthouse. He was headed to HHM and it doesn't look like it's anywhere near the downtown courthouse area.

This is exactly my thoughts. I have given standing ovations--a small handful of times in my life when something was truly amazing. But otherwise I usually sit and clap and can't see the curtain call because of everyone standing in front of me. (A few examples of performances I did think deserved it include NPH in Hedwig, Oslo (paid Lincoln Center prices to see it TWICE!), Lifespan of a Fact, Alan Cuming in his one man MacBeth. All performances that have stayed powerfully with me years after I saw them.)

1/5. Just all around a rough week. Thursday the game didn't record for some reason and I didn't even realize until I saw comments about it here. I wouldn't have gotten it anyway. For some reason, I'm in the mood for pickled sausages (which my grocery store is out of!), but we can all enjoy virtual ones, I guess.

The multiple choice banking round questions were a lot of art and pop culture, which were weak areas for James on Jeopardy! I could understand him missing them, but it felt like he was getting frustrated and having trouble shaking it off. But he zeroed back in for the final chase.

But that's a convenient coincidence too, that he should happen to hear a broadcast that happens to mention a settlement that hasn't been finalized and refers to the new name of a lawyer who isn't even involved anymore. A lot more of a stretch, in my opinion. I think Lalo going to the condo at some point was inevitable and I could buy Howard going. The timing was the only coincidence I saw. I agree though that the liquor store would have been better if Saul had some other way of getting that information.

My parents took me and some friends to see it in the theater for my seventh birthday, but the place was packed and the only seats were in the front row. The scene where Drew Barrymore finds ET in the shed and they both start screaming--well I freaked out and started screaming too. A few people claimed temporary deafness from sitting near me that night. I did love the movie but I was VERY startled when ET popped out.

Probably was related in that it was the 50th anniversary of the break in at the Watergate Hotel.

An incredibly long partial list of those who have already done this. It even has its own TV trope.

I think it's more they think no non-rural people drive pickups than they think rural people only drive pickups.

Or a cool chance to see something new. Even if MCU hasn't done that particular thing, it's been done over and over again. Hardly new and exciting.

I just watched this again and thought of something I missed the first time around. Does this take place the same year as Hawkeye? Because the end scene with Peter going out to be Spiderman in spandex he just sewed (not sure why), he swings through Rockefeller Center, and the tree is still up. And it looks just like the Hawkeye one. So I thought, guess it's taking place before Christmas Eve, since it doesn't look like a fight just happened there. But are they the same Christmas?

2/5. But I definitely knew all the answers when I read the clues again today just before posting. That doesn't always happen so I'm hoping I actually learned some things this week.

It reminds me of Brad Rutter's advise to players, which is that each question should be taken as it comes and then forgotten so you're ready to move on to the next one.

I'll bet you dollars to donuts that was written for her though. She's not ad libbing things like this. Of course, I was also thinking that people who like Jeopardy! should know the Boston Tea Party. It's one of the two or three most fa!ous parts of the American Revolution.

It's so random what kind if questions anyone will get. You get a bunch of pop culture when that's not your thing, for example, and you can be wiped out even if you'd be awesome at all kinds of other classic trivia.

People did talk about her job being fancy and her education being out of the ordinary. And I'm guessing that some people think it's not a very feminine job. But I love Lillian and already miss her.

Why would Kim and Jimmy have resources to take on Gus, which is what going after the lab/laundry entails? Makes no sense. I'm sure he wants something but it's not guys.

I feel like the intro with the list from Philly was written Gor Ken, who could have made it seem like he actually knew all the people and that they were from Philly. Mayim made it sound like an awkwardly memorized list of random words. I also didn't like how she led into FJ with "Ryan you had a good run..." Even though she linked it to his late game surge, it sounded like she was writing him off before the category and clue were even revealed.

3/5, 2*. A really good week for me.

Is there something that says we actually have to get to the timeline of BB? Or do we just need to have Jimmy become the person Saul is in BB? I thought it was the latter. So if Jimmy completes his transformation to Saul, we are where we are supposed to be. If we see what happens to Gene, we are far past BB. So I don't think we have to be in 2008 at all.
