Dowel Jones

I think that, despite the cutting of the scene where she rushed out to the balcony, the fact is that she actually pushed Jon over the edge.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone dropped a dime on some dicknose Chief (yes, they do exist), and said,"Hey, can you work this into a plotline? Don't use my name."

On the other hand, the project he designed for the other architecht had no bathrooms whatsoever. If you don't need one... Speaking of podcasts, I liked Michael's last line in the car after he tells Eleanor that she actually told Chidi that she loved him: "You want to listen to a podcast, maybe?"

And, after he finally gets the building done, he has a moment of Randall-inspiration, goes for the grand gesture, and renames it Deja View Apartments.

As long as West Coast Gabby is on duty and berating superior officers, none of the firefighters at 19 have a thing to worry about. Sullivan did err in the way he lashed out at Bishop during the training, despite how elementary it was. Praise in public, discipline in private. A general word to everyone to stay on track and accomplish the task at hand should have been sufficient (assuming everyone in the room was actually professional). As it was, he got publicly burned by Ripley.

At least when they encounter a pregnant woman on some incident, they will know to ask her "Whose baby is it? Are you sleeping with anyone else? Are they rich?" I agree completely about the Spanish skills. I spent several weeks at an immersion school in Mexico way back when I was a firefighter in a primarily Latino community, and, although it helped considerably, I wasn't even close to being able to adequately translate everything people said. That whole storyline was just some inspired silliness that this show engages in all too often. I think Gorsch had Benny waxed after Benny went to Grissom and ratted him out. That would make a helluva story. Gorsch will probably still submit those letters of reprimand because he's really that stupid to think that there wouldn't be any blowback based on his actions at the incident. I loved Capp dropping that hint on him. "That's your job, boss."

Gorsch continues his reign of terror at Firehouse 51, taking over Boden's morning meeting and going out on calls in Boden's place; Brett and Foster respond to a call where a Halloween prank has turned deadly serious.

Close.

My sister was chairwoman in SF one year, and they filled their entire garage up with boxes.

Or, if you're Beth, you can ask the customer to write down his CC number and promise that she'll tear it up as soon as she's done.

I have forgotten the specifics of Galindo's brother's death. What did Devante tell him? Lesson learned too late. If you're going to be a mob lawyer, always carry a pistol in your pocket.

They spent the last fundraiser on a cavernous convention hall one floor up from everything at the hospital. Or maybe it was one floor down. If everyone checking in to the Corrections wing of the hospital has to surrender everything in their pockets, why are the CO's walking around inside with guns and such? That was some might effective defib work. Two shocks and he's back from asystole. And no drugs, either. 4-5 drinks in and she can still walk and talk without slurring? I'm impressed.

New York young'un goes into construction, makes mad money. Check. Gets involved with shady business man who does favors for him. Check. Goes into politics. Check. Has an affair while he is married. Check. Has shady friend pay out hush money during the campaign. Check. Nothing to see here, folks. Moving on.

I have to give the writers' room a snark credit for one scene. When Katherine and Eddie are in the kitchen post-play, she begins with 'I don't want to be with you', but finishes with 'This Isn't Us.' Boom. Did anyone else think of To Kill A Mockingbird when Theo presents his costume?

Deferring to the late Steve Goodman here (several years old now): "The law of averages says anything that will happen, can. But the last time the Cubs won a National League Pennant, was the year we dropped the bomb on Japan." I took Allison's remark that she didn't even vote for the candidate to mean that she skipped that race, not the entire election, and was surprised for a moment when Bess told her to get off her butt and down to the polling place. And it was an eloquent speech. Small story: Regarding the polling place, I remember living in Chico, CA, many years back and being a polling official at the University polling place. There were 16 local residents and 100-200 students registered, but, they were all gone by the time primary elections came around in June, and were a factor only in the general elections. Thus, I had to sit there for 12 hours, even after the 16 local residents in the precinct had cast their votes. And I'm sure the students went home and tried to vote at their home precincts, too. I think Bess should make it a point to quietly spread the word around State that employees should avoid eating at that establishment, period. I also think the staff should get a loan of a shelter puppy and meet Bess at the elevator just for one day. The DoD chief, in my opinion, was being a bit too strict on protocol. Yes, it was wartime, but he was stateside, as I understand it, and made it back to his unit before deployment. I think that if they did some digging they would find more than a few soldiers AWOL for more than 18 hours. I saw a program on tv once (Whispers in the Wind, if I remember rightly), about the desertions in the early days (1942 on) of the air war in Europe. They were a constant problem because the Allies were basically losing, and crews were flying their bombers to Sweden or Switzerland for refuge and internment. So I can see the attitude toward desertion, but he didn't desert; he served his country.

What I didn't understand is why Slattery ordered Octavio and Kelsi to "Halt!". What are you, a cop? Shoot those motherfluckers and be done with it. It's not like they're getting a trial or anything. President Spineless better find himself a VP in a hurry, because his cred went way down with the (rapidly decreasing) military. Of course, I find it surprising that anyone would believe a confession with an obvious stretched rope around his neck. No sign of the battleship this week, although I did like the guy swiping it off the table.

Don't get everybody started on defective slow cookers, now.

Well, that was a 60 minute (commercials included) Saturday morning cartoon show. That's all I got.

Everyone is less than enthusiastic when Sullivan assigns each member of the crew a specialty skill to learn. During a house call, Ryan is caught off guard when he comes face-to-face with someone from his past; and Sullivan, Andy and Maya handle a structure fire in a derelict building.

Of course, if he goes to the Bad Place, it will be difficult to tell who is being tortured more; the demons or Doug.

Both. Apparently they have a policy that no fire gear is to be left on the apparatus floor. It should have gone back on the truck, probably so the firefighter can find it in the case of another call. Was it worth a write up? There's your second question.

Two episodes in a row with water being applied to a fire. OMG. Hey Mouch, or Hermann. Since Ritter is your protege', it might have been a good idea to warn him about some of the station politics so's he wouldn't eat it in front of Chief Asshat. While Boden does a great job of standing up for his station and personnel, I have to go with Gorsch on his directive about helping the reporter. The standard reply should be "Let me refer you to our investigators to answer that question." As it is, Casey is quoted as a CFD Captain, and thus puts the department on the hook in any kind of civil action. Grandberg's attorneys would eat him alive on the stand. I thought at first that the Molly's reviewer would be the guy that Hermann just kicked off the engine. He was right about one thing, though. It seems like the only regular clientele is the off duty crew from 51, being their usual boring selves. I would have laughed myself silly if Casey's little explosive experiment went awry and the refrigerator skittered across the bay floor, coming to rest under and igniting one of the apparatus. Note to Emily. You can't be gay and work on the Station 51 Ambulance. You will die.

Considering the definiton of hallow (verb) is "to consecrate, or to make something holy", that was a colossal blunder given the content of the episode.

"Worst" line of the night, from Coco: "Make the grave look like a penis, so for once she'll be inside one. Instead of one being inside her. Too soon?" My first reaction when the Mexican agent was talking to Emily in her house was, "Don't talk to the cops if you have anything to hide. Never." But, there we are. I'm not so sure the DEA could make the infant custody thing stick. The first thing the Galindos would do after contacting their attorney would be to very publicly and loudly announce that the feds were holding an infant because of a bogus kidnapping reporting charge. It would create a lot of really bad PR for the DEA.
