Katekate

Finally. A good episode this season. It only took them 11 tries. Glad I’ve hung in there!

Do I care about the Vietnamese woman? Meh...not really.

He said both. He has a brother 10 years younger than him that doesn’t like him. He told Rebecca he has a sister in the episode where they all go to a tapping of the Manny.

Swipers only work if you have signed up for and downloaded the credit app (like square). It only takes minutes to sign up on your phone. In the absence of a swiper, you can manually input the credit card info. Randall needing to learn boxing around the same time he went to weekly karate classses with Jack. Um, okay. Its almost like the writers don’t care about us. (Randall running in a district he doesn’t live in, Jack mentioning to Randall after the Howard visit, he watched his number get called for the draft on TV, Rebecca mentioning she has a sister. Toby tells Rebecca he has a sister after Kate’s first bar appearance). Anyone else got some?

The last 2 cuts were brutal. That has to be a horrible feeling - being pulled off the field and driven in a golf cart down a creepy, empty corridor to a make shift office. So much time to worry and freak out. Watching Malena become unhinged - ugh. So uncomfortable. I always thought there was something off with her. She reminds me of Reese Witherspoon in that movie...Election? Way too high strung but smiley.

I have a theory about Chrissy and her character, Kate . Originally, as reported , the actress agreed to lose weight for the storyline. The reality was simply too hard while at the same time receiving fame and accolades for the show. The fame goes to her head and she flips the script and writes ( or has ghostwritten) a book about how she loves her body and is happy with herself ( I don’t believe this but your mind can play serious tricks on you ) and she receives even more fame and money for the feel good book. Now she also thinks she’s empowering other women by not losing the weight. Its really hard to lose weight. Chrissy didn’t even try hard before she gave up and decided to run with the story that she’s happy with her body. Now the writers don’t have an interesting story line. Kate’s the only character I don’t like. She isn’t written to be very likable. The only storyline I would be interested in is her losing the weight, so she could then develop an identity apart from being a fat person. Or maybe just becoming a bitchy skinny person. I’d even settle for that.

Sorry...”we have all seen Kate talk and play with” Tess and Annie? When? I would argue the opposite. I don’t recall Kate ever interacting with the kids. Please correct me if I’m wrong ( with specific scenes).

Would anyone like to discuss what a horrible mother Kate would be? Adopted or biological. She’s a narcissist. They make the worst mothers.

Toby is in for some serious brain zaps and dizzy spells, and possibly becoming suicidal. Poor guy. Stupid decision to quit antidepressants cold turkey after 6 years.

What’s most confusing to me is why “everyone” likes Tina so much as to give her daughter special treatment. Tina seems like a complete mess...there I said it.

I know this has been discussed a lot already....but I have to vent. Kate loved the dog. Jack loved Kate so much he risked his life to go back for the dog. Jack dies. No one will ever know the exact cause. Kate resents and gives away the dog ( we think ). Jack was the one who wanted to get a family dog. Good grief , Kate . You could choose to see the dog as a family member and a beautiful reminder of how much your dad loved you. Why not throw away the photo albums and Rebecca’s necklace as well? I’ve tried so hard to like Kate for 2 seasons now. But now I’m beginning to think she’s just an asshole who only thinks about herself. ( and...did her brilliant plan of giving the dog away work? She wallows in her dads death everyday for the next 20 years anyway ). iP.S. If Kate comes to her senses and keeps and cherishes the dog, I’m the asshole. I am aware of that ?.

I would appreciate it, now that he’s had time to cool down, if Randal would send Miss Linda a fruit basket and an apology note. And a picture from Annie.

The social worker with the little boy looked a lot like an older Tess. I don’t think they’d jump that far in the future...but, weird, no?

Oh, man...this was a really good episode!

Excellent point. I was wondering how she even fits in the shower.
