I laughed at Agnes' snark about Ada talking non-stop to the priest. When Mr. Russell agreed to the interview with Oscar, I was wondering if he would bring up his affairs to stop him from pursuing Gladys. Nope, he just said "no" with no explanation. I loved it! I'm glad that Agnes told Armstrong to shape up or ship out. Was Armstrong really crying about who will hire her, when Agnes only wants her to be kind?! I'm glad that Peggy basically told Armstrong to not fuck with her. Larry made a mistake sleeping with his employer. She could easily turn on him and destroy his career. Her jealousy towards Marion isn't good. I didn't realize that tall guy was drunk at first, I just thought he was an obnoxious guy who can't read the room. It's good to see more of the familial relationship between Oscar and Marion this episode. I also enjoyed the relationship between the Russells. They can be sweet. That ending with the scorned maid, ouch!

I teared up a bit at what happened to Peggy's son. I'm glad that her father's actions weren't brushed over, I would have scratched out his eyes if I had to live in the same house as him. I don't feel sorry for Oscar at all. Since when is he so in love with Gladys? I thought he was gay, not bisexual. Poor barons, their workers want fair and safe practices in the workplace! The Russell's new house in Newport was gorgeous. I really enjoyed the architecture and clothes in this episode. The ending with the opera setup was pretty.

I laughed at Lazslo's grin when he talked about how Perdita killed dozens of people in a settlement and it was blamed on winter weather. That's so messed up! Poor Guillermo, having to pack all the crap on the car and remove it after a long drive. The Guide's paintings were surprisingly good. I liked that one of Nadja. LOL at Nandor treating Guillermo like a bloodhound and at the fact that the "human horde" was all naked. I liked the mystery aspect of the episode and Colin Robinson's advanced hair growth to set himself up as a master detective. Nandor did have some menacing scenes in the finale. It almost scared me a bit when he got up close to Patton Oswalt in the Panera Bread and grabbed his wrists. Poor Derek! It's cool that Nandor arranged all of that just to reverse his turning. I wasn't expecting for the return of the Necromancer and Topher! I love the barbs that Lazslo trades with him. Due to Disney and cable provider shenanigans, I wasn't able to watch the episodes last night. I'm glad I was able to watch on Hulu before my trial ran out! If this is the last season, I wouldn't be too upset. They had a good run.

I enjoyed this episode, I wasn't expecting it to veer from the roast. I was laughing at the beginning when Nadja held Nandor's arm in sympathy in their diminished sex life with Lazslo. I wonder if the promotion of the actress who plays the Guide is part of the joke of her character - where everyone ignores her even though she hangs around a lot. I wasn't expecting for the Guide to spill the beans like that! LOL at Lazslo using her dress to clean his hands. It was smart of the guys to scheme to trick the Baron and Guillermo. I was not expecting for Guillermo to roast him again! The Guillermo creatures are pretty creepy, it's not surprising that the Baron would enjoy them.

Edie's boss was such a shithead, he could have given her a heads up that his bosses have forced him to take a deal. The press conference after the trial was sickening. I'm glad that she reconciled with her brother at the end. I can't believe Britt came over to Shannon's house and said that she was a good person. Seriously?? Shannon should have fought back, there's no way I would have cowered in my own home. I'm glad Glen's wife stood her ground about him not staying over. 30 days isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. I couldn't tell, was the couple that Glen stole from dead? The real life stories from the people in the beginning were heartbreaking.

It's too bad the U.S. Attorney team didn't get the evidence they needed from the secretary. It infuriated me that Sackler was playing with his dog and making all of that noise during the meeting, like they don't matter. That conference was cheesy in the beginning but quickly turned into something sleezy. Shannon is such a follower, I rolled my eyes when she gave in and decided to snort Oxy. Her protege has no soul at all. I knew Glen's request to his stepson would be self-serving, but he didn't try convince him much. I couldn't believe that long line at the clinic and the security guards, like they're bouncers at a club.

Did Shannon actually sleep with that doctor? They just cut away abruptly. It disgusts me that she quickly brushed off her concerns after getting paid off by the company and started recruiting others into the bullshit. It's shocking to see that their quote from a medical journal came from a letter to the editor. I wonder why no one tried to verify the source before? It shocked me when the car fell from the lift, Glen could have been killed. I do wonder why the stepson didn't bring up his concerns before though, good for him for getting out of the dangerous environment. Mte to the post above on why people are letting Glen drive around.

It's unbelievable that the FDA guy resigned from his job to work for Purdue. That didn't raise any red flags for anyone? Shannon seems a bit too stupid for me. She saw a girl she met before faking an injury at another clinic and snort up, and she's reassured that she's just another addict. It's really disgusting how they keep pushing the drugs and recommending higher dosages just so everyone can get paid. Poor Glen.

I didn't realize that it was Glen's stepson who was goofing off with the dangerous machinery and caused Glen's injury in the first place. I was wondering why he wasn't fired. It was pretty scary when Glen woke up in the middle of the night, trying to find his bottle. Glen's stepson just really gets on my nerves. I really hated Shannon's smug smile when Edie was standing in front of the car. I loved that Dr. that tried to school her and I hated the second Dr. gave in when Shannon started talking about gymnastics.

I really liked this movie. Slick had so many laugh out loud lines, I cracked up when they first met the lab tech with the afro. I'm surprised Fontaine didn't go insane when he saw the face of his clone. I don't know why I expected for only him to be the clone. It was heartbreaking when he found out that his mother wasn't real. The overlords of the experiment were very insidious. It was creepy when everyone was in the chicken joint. I was glad to see everyone come together at the end to take down the lab. The guy with the mini fan cracked me up.

This episode was hilarious, I had to rewind a few times. I love that Lazslo is now the go-to scientific expert. The way he kicked down the railing in the beginning cracked me up for some reason. Is this the first time that Colin Robinson cursed? I can't remember him having a foul mouth before. Poor Guillermo! The vampires abandoned him on the floor and Nandor and Nadja were arguing about who should help him. His foot was very gross. I was surprised to see John Slattery. When Colin made that Irish slur, I thought he would kick them out. It seemed like he planned on kidnapping the guys to take them to Brooklyn. It would have been interesting to see how that turned out. Nadja is bad-ass and crazy. She slapped the shit out of Guillermo (twice!) for no reason, which made me laugh like crazy.

There were a lot of people at my showing today, hope it does well at the box office. It's interesting that Jonas seems to have custody of Meiying now, rather than her uncle. I laughed hard at DJ's survival pack. After what they went through during the last film, I'm glad he was more prepared this time. I enjoyed the movie and the soundtrack.

I can't believe Guillermo actually went through with the circumcision!

I laughed throughout all of Laszlo's experiments. I just shook my head at him having a plague mask. I was expecting for his "Guillermo-sunblock" to fail. It was so odd seeing him in the daylight. I didn't really enjoy the switched bodies storyline of Nadja, but I was really disturbed to see Colin come out the back of her head. I loved the reactions of the crowd at the end. I was surprised to see that Nandor actually made it up into space. I thought he would chicken out at the last minute, or that he would end up floating up there and be unable to come back down.

I was surprised that Guillermo went through with the turning! I thought his hints to the cameraman indicated that he backed out of it. I jumped a little when Nandor busted down the door to speak to Guillermo. Laszlo's not so subtle spying on Guillermo was hilarious. I don't know why, but I cracked up when he was clutching at the wall, spying. Colin's new way of feeding was hilarious. I can see him thriving at his new workplace. The vampires are such assholes! The Guide zoomed into their house, and they just brushed her off. I wonder why the Guide wants to hang out with them in the first place? Nadja's slap to Colin was so unexpected and funny. It was so random that Guillermo was hanging out at the Baron's house. I would be terrified to be around him without the other vampires! It's terrible that the Baron turned a guy just because he was using his leaf blower during the day. Even worse, the poor guy exploded due to an experiment! So gross! I also want to know how everyone knew to meet up at the diner in the end.

I thought this was a horror movie when they showed the preview before Indiana Jones! I was surprised to see Michelle Yeoh in a random horror movie. I didn't realize it was a Poirot movie until I saw Kenneth Branagh. I'm not sure if my audience realized that it was a Poirot movie. I never heard of the story before, but I'm going to try to avoid a synopsis.

I enjoyed this movie. The opening scene was great, the shots that had the planes flying over the train was very cool. Indy's life at the beginning was so sad - sleeping in front of his TV, getting mocked by his younger neighbor, and half-heartedly teaching a subject that doesn't interest his students. I was really surprised how Helena went. I was hoping that she would get punished for all the shit she put Indy through. I didn't think that Nazis were willing to work with black people (the CIA agent at the beginning). I loved the room server's response to Schmidt about being born near the Yankee Stadium. The ending scenes were really cool, too. Too bad Indy didn't get his wish.

This episode really got to me. I didn't really like Pia, she steamrolled over her partner and threatened that she would just do the documentary herself. What a shitty thing to say to someone, especially since at the time his father was thought to be an indirect victim of the serial killer. It was pretty odd that two people in Davis' hometown made those racially insensitive remarks. I would have thought at least Stuart would have known better. When the trio broke into the house, I just got more and more tense. When they showed the blacklight in the room, I had to pause the show and come to the board to be spoiled. I'm glad I did, but I still ended up almost biting a pillow anyway when Pia was alone in the house with Davis' mom. This episode will probably stay with me awhile, since it's realistic.

Charlotte was being naive in the beginning, when she thought her love could cure him and he was fine the day of the speech. Reynolds must have been under so much stress trying to keep everything together. This episode didn't do anything towards my feelings about the Dowager. I really hate that she held the title over Agatha's head in exchange for information. Only when her nastiness caused Agatha to cry did she display some tiny semblance of humanity. Her little speech about wanting Agatha as an adversary was pretty messed up, not everything has to be about power and control. I'm glad Charlotte eventually found out about the situation. Charlotte's son was very frank about her role in their life. It's terrible that she sacrificed having a relationship with her children to manage her husband and ensure the continuation of the Crown. It looks like Violet's discovery has damaged her relationship with Agatha. I wonder if it will be touched on in the upcoming Bridgerton season. This was a great show. The ending was bittersweet and caused me to tear up!

I laughed when Violet speculated on if the Queen has a companion to tend to her needs. I really like the topic of the older cast, of loneliness and desire. I was not expecting for Agatha to have had an affair with Violet's father! Damn, I thought they would have unrequited feelings or something. I really can't stand the Dowager. Whitewashing the portrait and not taking a stand to secure the young boy's rights. Speaking of, that kid was so cute! I loved his little hat. I'm really surprised that the Doctor could get away with torturing the king like that. Did his mother know what was going on? The young Charlotte's story was so sad. It was awful that she had nowhere to go and was trapped in an impossible situation.

This was an interesting episode. I liked seeing George's point of view of events so far. It seems George's illness is triggered by stress. I thought the doctor was a good guy at first, but then he kept trying to isolate George and complain about how the new house might trigger a relapse. That poultice-making in the kitchen was very insidious so that George could relapse. I didn't realize that the house did all that preparation when George moved back into Buckingham. It must be awful to not trust your own actions. I really hated the end scene when George went back into that bastard's lair.

I loved Brimsley's spiteful remark to his boyfriend on if he has another "rider". It was very bitchy! It was sad to see George rip his hand away from Charlotte on the day of their coronation. I understood why she was upset with him, but not sure of why he was upset with her. I hate that Lady Danbury was forced to spy on the Queen, but at least she wasn't giving the complete truth to the Dowager. It was really short-sighted of the Dowager to "think" on the ball, when she wants the Great Experiment to succeed. I'm glad Lady Danbury forced Charlotte to pull her head out of her ass. I couldn't believe the ladies-in-waiting were insulting Charlotte like that during Mozart's little concert. I'm really enjoying the current scenes between the older Ladies and Queen. The older Brimsley's remarks and the Queen's response were so sad.

I really enjoyed how Brimsley was such an advocate for Charlotte, questioning his boyfriend on what was wrong with the king. I hate that his boyfriend put him on the spot in front of the Dowager. Good for Lady Danbury for sticking up for herself. I wanted to slap the Dowager for her condescension and telling Danbury that she should be grateful for scraps. I wondered why George was all of a sudden eager to bed Charlotte, but his outburst to the Dowager was heartbreaking for Charlotte. Learning that it was all a ruse and he promised his mother that he wouldn't let her properly be a queen. Charlotte's children were so lazy and ungrateful. Why aren't they concerned about the lack of legitimate heirs?!

It was pretty awful that Charlotte was betrothed against her will and her brother said that he indulged her too much while she was growing up. It was awful that she had to go through the Queen Mother's inspection and that no one would describe the man she was going to marry. I would have thought that they would have the couple get to know each other a bit before the ceremony, I wonder what the rush was. I loved that they showed the older Charlotte wearing a head wrap when she was woken up. They truly made Lady Danbury's husband look disgusting. I was laughing/cringing at her unimpressed face while her husband was on her. I liked her seeing the glimpse of Charlotte before the wedding and understanding why the minorities were invited to the palace. I was shaking my head at the Queen Mother. Charlotte is not dark at all. The Queen Mother and her cronies probably would have had a heart attack if Charlotte had the skin tone of Lady Danbury. George's 180 was surprising. I wonder why he insisted on having a biracial queen, but wants to stay in different houses. I hope he doesn't have a mistress.

I teared up a few times in the movie - during Rocket's flashback scenes and when I thought a Guardian was killed. I couldn't understand Floor's dialogue, but I think I got the gist of it. The pronunciation schooling of "can't" between Rocket and the High Evolutionary was funny, I think that was the only time I laughed during the flashback. Peter was really annoying me in the beginning, where he was trying to force the older version of Gamora into who his girlfriend was. Everyone kept saying she lost her memories, but that wasn't true. There was a lot of gory elements in this movie, which I wasn't expecting. I had to look away when they pulled off the High Evolutionary's face. The ending scene on Knowhere made me smile, I also loved the "Breakfast Club" picture of the group at the end of the credits.
