  1. They were referring to the equation for Ohm's Law of Electricity.
  2. She's so selfish and so arrogant that she can't see that the best way to protect her son is with the help of CPS. Even if it meant losing custody, Luca would be in a much safer environment without the constant interference of the cartels or back home in the Philippines. She already has herself convinced that she is the only one who can take proper care of him, yet she keeps proving herself wrong time after time. What will it take for her to stop trying to convince everyone else involved that no rules apply to her while still believing that is actually protecting Luca somehow instead of actually doing more harm than good? I don't think we'll be that lucky. Since this entire season was written with the hope that Adan would be able to come back, this seems as though it is all just filler, and every episode will continue to be just a holding pattern until a big cliff hanger in the season finale. I doubt we'll see any conclusion until next season. I hope I'm wrong. I'd prefer the electric chair, so she is held accountable for all the murders she has either participated in or cleaned up after, plus all her other crimes.
  3. Those seem to be more working relationships than a friendships.
  4. . . . and once again, Thorny makes an open admission that life would be easier for all of them in the Philippines but refuses to realize that is what she is saying. Nothing would make me happier. It might actually be the wake up call Thorny needs to finally decide to go back from whence she came (but only after finding out that Arman is dead, of course; she wouldn't protect the unity of her family over the gangster who has her deep into Stockholm Syndrome). It might also bring her ego down a couple of notches.
  5. The Spanish was all "a little more to the right" or "move it up towards the center" and nothing else that was relevant to the actual plot.
  6. For someone who claims to be so benevolent, Thorny jumps to conclusions about her coconspirators pretty quickly. Does she have a single friend outside the family who isn't a gangster?
  7. There are places where it would have been considered scandalous for a pregnant nurse to wear white even if the pregnancy had been "legitimate." We were really supposed to be thought of as pure and virtuous in all aspects on and off the job. I know of one married nurse in the 1960s who didn't want to quit while she was pregnant, so she was forced to move from working on the floor where she would have to wear a white uniform into Labor & Delivery where she would be allowed to wear colored scrubs. This was in the US, not the UK, but maybe the nurses we've seen on the show who were pregnant on the job were just allowed to stay because they already weren't in jobs where they needed white uniforms. We've come a long way, Baby!
  8. However, this is still the 1960s and managing the finances isn't "woman's work" or even shared responsibilities in the majority of households. She may only be responsible for an "allowance" (I cringe every time I hear Lucy Ricardo use that word with Rickie) for food and other traditionally female household roles.
  9. When Violet had her breakdown terrified that she thought he would die, I knew he was going to live. If the intent was to kill him off, we would have been hearing about how everything was status quo, and he was "doing as well as could be expected" then he would have had a sudden and dramatic turn for the worst closer to the end of the episode. TV writing is too predictable. Writers apparently all go to the same school, and only know one way for handling the melodrama.
  10. Refugees? From https://www.christianaid.org/ : What is a Refugee? A refugee is someone who flees to a foreign country for safety due to war, terrorist invasion, natural disaster, persecution, or other types of threatening conditions. If anything, Fiona and Chris left a country where they were safe and put themselves into a situation where they weren't safe by coming back to the US illegally.
  11. I've got news for her: the State Bar does a thorough background check on every applicant who wants to take the bar exam. With her family history, it would be unlikely that she would ever have been allowed to take the test, especially in NJ or NY.
  12. I just finished watching this series for the first time. There is no doubt in my mind that Tony was killed instantly in the diner; however, I think Meadow was the one who killed him. Has anyone else considered that possibility?
  13. From WebMD: Delusions of grandeur is when one has a false belief about one's own greatness or skills. You say potato; I'll say patoto.
  14. However, the cat was thinking "Here is my chance to show my true acting range. I'll get an Emmy (or whatever the British equivalent is) for this if I can hit my mark and pull off a look of sheer terror then scratch some eyeballs and hiss at my assailant on cue." (parts of the scene may have been deleted by PBS for failing to maintain a G rating)
  15. It seems there is a lot thinking, "If The Fabulous Beekman Boys and their roller bags can win this, then so can my grandmother and I."
  16. Three kinds of meat plus eggs really surprised me. That's a lot of protein. That must be intended for someone who is going to go do manual labor all day and not get his next meal for another 12 or 14 hours. I can't see that considered to be a "normal" meal otherwise.
  17. It's still better than standing on the sidelines yelling "You got this!" over and over again.
  18. However, having it all done at the same time wasn't part of the challenge. True, if you could figure out how to get 4 burners going simultaneously and having everything ready to plate at once, it took less time to complete, but that wasn't what they were being judged on. As long as you didn't cut the avocadoes first so they weren't turning brown (and I haven't stopped giggling about the guy who thought cutting an avocado in quarters meant horizontal slicing) by the time you got everything else together, I don't think anyone would have been turned back for having something on the plate that wasn't serving temperature. Had they cooked each item one at a time and done it properly the first time, they may still have been able to keep themselves within the time range to get caught up with a least one team at the detour.
  19. I just assumed it was traveling junk dealers like the US had during The Great Depression.
  20. The title of this episode should have been "I'm here forever!"
  21. I understand the reason they apply: delusions of grandeur. What I don't understand is why casting thinks the viewers have any interest in seeing them. I do viewer reviews for CBS and CW, and I try to tell them repeatedly to pay more attention to who they chose as contestants. I don't seem to be getting anywhere.
  22. I'm not sure that they understand there is a huge difference between "enthusiastic" and "obnoxious." Add me to the list of those who want them gone.
  23. I toured a coffee plantation in Hawaii, and Colombian coffee cherries are tiny compared to the ones they grow in Hawaii. In Hawaii, it takes 30lbs of cherries to make one pound of coffee beans (a little less than half a kilo). I'm pretty sure these people weren't carrying around 15 pounds of cherries.
  24. I wouldn't be surprised if once they finally found the airport, they had to wander around the concourse for days looking for their gate then realized their flight was long gone and then couldn't find their way back through security to get reticketed. Like Tom Hanks in The Terminal, they are now destined to live in the airport indefinitely.
