For someone who was supposed to have been at death's door when he was found, he made a remarkable recovery especially considering he didn't have anything in the way of the necessary medical equipment in his hospital room.

I have a new-found respect for Q for not falling for Liz's attempts to manipulate him into taking her on his reward. Her sob story didn't come close to rivaling Bhanu's which Q had to listen to repeatedly for the first part of the game. A contestant who hadn't had that previous experience might have caved.

There also would have been the risk of all the equipment getting wet if they were in the same cars.

The Busbys must need money again. How many of their "businesses" have failed?

Sasha Alexander also asked to be written out of NCIS in a way so that she could never come back.

I have my doubts that the Survivor doctor would have let her be in the cast if there really wasn't anything she could eat anywhere on the island. I also don't need the constant updates about how many hours it's been since she's had something to eat. She can leave anytime as far as I'm concerned. However, I'm sure she'll drive the cooks crazy with her dietary restrictions after she's been voted out, and I really don't wish that on them.

I kept thinking "It's time to blow your cover and call for backup!" Once again, Thorny goes for maximum drama by stapling Jeremy's head with no anesthetic when she had super glue available.

I'm guessing it was a grapefruit spoon.

However, why didn't Rosalind immediately realize that this hadn't been consensual when Allison said she had never had a boyfriend? Why did she jump to "she doesn't seem to understand how baby got in?" Rosalind was more naive about it than Allison was.

I'm always amazed at how infrequently this is ever considered on this show. It was almost commonplace in the US in the '50s and '60s. Maybe the socialist government in the UK discouraged it thinking its cradle to grave benefits should have been sufficient to support anyone in any situation.

The mystery has not been solved.

Back in the days before the rapid strep test was available, there were doctors who would give you a full 10 or even 14 day prescription of penicillin while a throat culture was pending. If in 24 to 48 hours the culture was negative for strep, it would have been appropriate to stop the antibiotics. With 3 kids in the house, that could have given her more than enough "leftovers" to cover her syphilis infection.

Was "I didn't just fall off the turnip truck" an expression in Briton in the late '60s? Maybe that is the symbolism they were going for in regard to the other story lines? Or, maybe it was their variation of "making lemonade out of lemons?"

He appears to be a gambling addict. Even though he didn't burn through his/the foundation's money at the track or a casino or poker games, he thrives on high-risk investments to satisfy his addiction. Trixie is probably seeing herself in him which is what she finds so frightening, not just the trip to the poor house. He doesn't seem able to stop the high-risk behavior. Is it too late for him to have handed Nonnatus House back to the nuns? Is that still a seizable asset due to him waiting too long to return it?

She said she had taken her children's antibiotics from when they had tonsillitis. That most likely would have been penicillin, so it should have adequately taken care of it. Obviously, she knew exactly what she had and how to treat it. She wasn't naive about it or in denial about what her husband had been up to.

I was pretty confused by that, too. Hopefully, there is a deleted scene that will explain how the whole story was supposed to fit in. Maybe there's some symbolism behind it that the writers were trying for and missed (pretty badly).

Maybe they can figure out a way to spend their entire married lives never having to get into the same car with each other. Otherwise, it's just not going to work out.

We're talking about Pete: he wouldn't sit in an airplane seat without fastening his seatbelt even if the seatbelt sign was off.

There are still New Yorkers today who think nothing exists west of New Jersey.

I mean this in the nicest possible way: I think it would be good for someone to die on the plane, so Pete has someone to really keep him company on the flight.

The house my parents owned from 1972 to 2007 was nearly impossible to find with just the address. GPS didn't improve that at all. When we were expecting a delivery, we always told dispatchers that we needed to give directions directly to the drivers, or they would get lost. They rarely believed us and didn't put us in touch with the drivers. We would either be down at the cross street flagging them down, or they would just leave and tell dispatch there was no such address. Fortunately, when we did have the need to call EMS, they were clever enough to be able to find us without too much delay or the need for us to be out at the street frantically waving them our way.

I really didn't appreciate him thinking that he knew what all the viewers were thinking. That was completely out of line.

Season 1: Lenny & Karen Season 10: Peter & Sarah I think there may be a few others, too.

Do we know who pays them? Does it come out of the Nonnontas House budget, are they paid directly from the NHS, or is there some other government agency who is responsible for their wages?

With fast food franchise wages now being $20 per hour in CA, I can see an interest in this after a lot of modifications. That's probably why their recommendation was to lease at least 3 machines. I remember another food prep vending machine that was similar to the old fashioned automat. It served a lot more than just hamburgers. I don't remember the name of it or what season it was on, but it would be interesting to know if it is still in business. That would be a pretty good clue as to whether or not this machine will produce a viable business.
