I was thinking the same thing. We're so used to using day/night to mark the passing of time in our shows and movies. When there's no change, it really confuses things. But they said it could take 48 hours for the scientists to thaw, so there probably was a change of at least one, and possibly two, days in this episode. Wasn't he in charge? Presumably he'd be the one conducting business on behalf of the station, and they were trying to figure out who was funding it right? They wouldn't necessarily know which credit cards were his personal cards, and which were issued to him by the company, for station business. This is literally an international case; these scientists are from all over the world. But it's been less than a week, and they seemed to be trying to find out who funded the station, so haven't been able to figure out who to call. Is Ennis too remote to have at least one newspaper/reporter though?

I would watch a series with newly-forgiven Munch going around randomly helping people, like a socially awkward Robert McCall.

Maybe it was the knife that he ultimately used to kill Witt. As for prisons, don't authorities try to separate co-conspirators in prison? For big crimes anyway? And they would have likely been charged federally, since FBI were involved for a cross-border kidnapping? State-level at minimum, so they could have been put in any prison in the state (or in the country, if charged federally).

I watched it twice and laughed out loud both times

I chalk that up to Dot being heavily traumatized and needing to heal immediately after the events, and then being busy as a star FBI witness for the trials of Roy and Gator. But especially that first part. In fact, when they were showing Dot's face on the ride home, the trauma was obvious. When the driver said "Almost home" and you saw the conflict on her face. Mentally she was still back on the ranch, but knew she couldn't bring the worst of this back to her family, so she was struggling to transition out of the darkness and back to the light as fast as she could. For Wayne and Scottie. Silently. It was amazing to watch.

I loved how he told his story to the child. In some ways he was child-like himself, so I think he felt a connection to her that let him tell a story he probably never told anyone else in full before that moment. And she looked at him with such empathy, and drew it out of him without judgement. No one judged him. Dot forgave him and Wayne followed her lead the whole time. This was Dot's story, but I was so glad they ended it on Munch's awed and tearful face as all that sin dropped away.

I was wondering why Roy was still there at all. Why did he hang around for someone to find him instead of just booking it down the tunnel as soon as he came through the door? Maybe he lives there now! :) OK that final dinner scene was art, it was beautiful. I literally teared up. I wonder if he can die now.

Gotta say though, I never saw her as an Arctic wild woman.

For me that reason was Vince Vaughan lol. He's just one of those "give-it-a-miss" actors for me. It feels very "The Terror S1" to me.

This is going to be good. This version already feels more supernatural than S1 did. I mean, even if there turns out to be a non-supernatural cause of these 8 scientists buried in the ice with fear on their faces, let's not forget Dead Travis showed where to find them.

I was struggling a little to really describe my thoughts. I may have written this somewhere before. If you've ever stumbled across a kid's sitcom on YTV or Nickelodeon or something in the last decade or two, what you've seen is a very broad, , shrill acting style. And of course, since this is for kids, the comedy itself is very simplistic. It feels like the kids who grew up watching this, who've done little as they've grown up beyond scrolling their phones and tablets, and have become writers themselves, think that this is what comedy is, even for adults. And the new generation of TV executives who greenlight these shows don't know any better either. Between these lightweight sitcoms, reality TV, and cookie cutter procedurals, network television seems to be an idiocracy these days. The more enlightened and mature writers seem to gravitate to HBO and other premium sources. Are you me?

Ha, I was thinking much the same thing. She's more attractive than Jimbo, and more outwardly bitchy, but she seemed to be copying Jimbo for sure. Unless she's been doing this since before Jimbo came to prominence about 5? years ago

Or as some have theorized, it is an escape tunnel. Munch could have found the other end, brought in the goat for the ceremony, then left it there and went to Tillman's house. Then used the same tunnel to escape again. If so I suspect at some point Roy will abandon his supporters and try to use the dugout tunnel to escape. And Dot will be there, as someone upthread suggested.

I think Aurora was always going to be top 2. As for Venus and Nearah, the judges made it clear they preferred Venus' song. And I think maybe her runway was a shade better too. But it didn't have to be, the song cinched it, it seems. ETA: when I think about it, I think production wanted Venus. The final lipsync song was geared to an emoter, not a dancer (which was the main strength for both Aurora and Nearah.)

I wouldn't have minded if Aurora won, but this felt correct. And Gisele looked lovely in that reindeer outfit.

People scroll their phones while watching TV these days. No one pays attention anymore.

The writing in this version is definitely not as good as the old one. I seem to recall the 80s version had writing almost on par with Designing Women (except it didn't tend towards the dramatic as often), and that's saying something. But I think that might be a reflection of TV sitcoms today in general. I often think that newer generations of writers, on average, don't have the life experience that older ones did at the same stage of life. I generally worry about what younger generations aspire to. It seems that more people are trying to make money on TikTok and YouTube, rather than trying to become doctors, engineers, construction workers, people who create and build things, instead of reacting to what others are creating and building. Sorry for the existential dread lol.

Linda was the best part of the episode. Wish she could be a regular.

I saw that too. I've been hoping someone here gets what it means lol

I'm inclined to feel sorry for him. Then I remember what he's done.

Forgot to mention, she called the "orange idiot", presumably Trump, since it's set in 2019. So she went straight to the President of the US.

Her reaction to the news of Danish's death was understated perfection. Her first feelings of vulnerability in decades probably. Aw she really did care about him, in her way.

Since this is the US show, I imagine most folks on this board are in the US, and that many don't watch Drag Race Canada. The current Canada season has a queen that doesn't tuck at all, Venus, and I have to admit that it has, at times, been distracting. But not overly so.

My preference is in between, like regular human sized breasts, rather than the really big ones, or nothing at all. Although, sometimes nothing at all can be very appealing, depending how it's done. But super big breasts, not my thing, whoever it is.

You're not wrong. I'm not an opera singer either, but I like opera and I've listened to that song many times, by various singers. She was def flat at times. But that's OK AFAIC, because she did something different, and I'm here for it.
