I agree with the rich boy money thing. And yeah, they were both expelled from schools. Every significant guy on that show had daddy issues except Dean and Max. Logan, Chris, Jason, Jess, Luke, Zach... At the end, Logan seemed to be really excited to go out and make it for himself. We get total reversal in that pig of a revival (where character assassination was the trope du jour), but Logan seemed to really grow and change in seasons 6 and 7.

How exactly is Logan supposed to be Christopher? This makes no sense to me. If anything, Christopher and Dean have way more in common. High school loves. Motorcycles (superficial, I know). Dumped by respective Lorelais. Obsess about their respective Lorelais despite being with other women. Pop up over and over as a love interest that is more about the familiarity than true compatibility and desire. Neither Chris nor Dean fit in with their respective woman's life direction. Neither Chris nor Dean were really going anywhere in life. They were both fairly unsophisticated and uneducated. Both men live in the women's worlds instead of really having their own thing. Like puppy dogs. Both men insecure and easily threatened. Neither guy really bettered the woman (and vice versa). Didn't encourage their growth (sometimes felt threatened by it). Neither guy was particularly ambitious or passionate about anything.

The sheriffs in CT were replaced by state marshalls in 2000. Guess no one told the costumers.

The worst part about the rando psycho is how unbelievable they make the story line to the point of unwatchability.

You know, as much credit as the actor deserves (based on what people say, I suppose) for playing this villain, it's the kind of villain I hate and actually makes shows annoying to watch: The rando psycho. The rando psycho has no compelling reasons for doing things. The rando psycho is generally surrounded by trusting dumbos who have the truth staring them right in the face but don't do anything about it. The rando psycho is often cruel and sadistic beyond reason. The rando psycho is usually involved in one of my least favorite plot devices: displaced blame/deliberate misunderstanding/frame jobs. The rando psycho is all these things and yet simultaneously boring to watch and, imo, lazy writing.

You know, I get that we wind up having Sheldon apologize and seem more understanding and contrite at the end, but haven't we been watching this guy grow for the last kazillion seasons? It's like he started at ground zero again with his brother and was completely dismissive and ridiculous. I feel like that's old Sheldon, not current Sheldon. Then again, we do revert to infantile behavior around our siblings sometimes. I thought it was unfair for Georgie to hold a grudge against Sheldon re: something he knew nothing about.

It is revealed in the Pilot that she is a hostess at Fuddruckers when Sheldon is expressing concern of "committing genetic fraud" about donating sperm at a high-IQ sperm bank ("I have a sister who has the same basic DNA mix who hostesses at Fuddruckers.") I agree with those here that said she seemed a lot sharper. Though didn't someone (Mary or Sheldon) say it took her 6 years to graduate high school?

Is he a snob or just someone who thinks everyone who doesn't like what he likes is flat out wrong? He has no ability to empathize or see anything from anyone else's point of view.

Everything medical they said about that pink eye was wrong. So we have to move on.

So there is a huge Male Yale party going on at Richard and Emily's with dozens of people there, but Dean can park right by the front door? Yeeaaaaah...ok. So here is a list I've compiled of recycled/reused jokes/references. They are not running gags. Those are different. This is more like they used it in a joke once and then forgot and then used it again somewhere else: Diebenkorn People named Sweetie Antique printing press Forensics being the only thing on tv Sylvia Plath/Bell Jar Weird dogs Tuesdays with Morrie Calling Luke Duke Chow dogs Lacrosse Nicholas Nickelby Leopold and Loeb

Figured out another thing that annoys me about Luke. He breathes too loudly and breathes/sighs too much when he talks. Perfect example: Watch the part when he brings the chuppah to Lorelai's house. Maddening.

Not to mention Lorelai wasn't interested in letting them have a relationship with them when she was little.

Mitchum. First glance, follow the narrative...seems like a dick. Look at him closer, listen to words, take at face value...I actually don't think he is the bad guy. What he says makes sense (about Rory, about Logan going to London, etc). I actually agree with a lot of what he says.

Just watched it and they specifically ask why she did not report her for being a gender traitor.

But then why in S1E3 did the Eye guy come and ask why Ofred didn't report that Ofglen was gay? Shouldn't they have known she was bc that was her gender-traitor reaon for being a handmaid?

Or maybe the comets you saw pics of were pics they showed people bc they were the most ideal pictures of comets. I'm sure there are thousands more pics that look like schmutz to the untrained eye. I agree with the osmosis thing.

And yet episode 1, you hear a dog bark (somewhere near their property). My question besides the obvious inefficiency of the dumb handmaid system (and if they truly had no reproductive tech, how did they know who was fertile?) is what happens to the kids they have if they are fertile? Kind of hard to imagine some rich, powerful dude giving up his kid to be a handmaid. Is this addressed?

Be a bit far-fetched considering these things don't generally look all perfect and clean cut IRL like you are watching NOVA or at a planetarium. Even Raj had to go confirm it.

Churyumov–Gerasimenko was discovered in 1969 by Klim Ivanovich Churyumov of the Kiev University's Astronomical Observatory,[26] who examined a photograph that had been exposed for comet Comas Solà by Svetlana Ivanovna Gerasimenko on 11 September 1969 at the Alma-Ata Astrophysical Institute, near Alma-Ata (now Almaty), the then-capital city of Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, Soviet Union. Churyumov found a cometary object near the edge of the plate, but assumed that this was comet Comas Solà.[27] After returning to his home institute in Kiev, Churyumov examined all the photographic plates more closely. On 22 October, about a month after the photograph was taken, he discovered that the object could not be Comas Solà, because it was about 1.8 degrees off the expected position. Further scrutiny produced a faint image of Comas Solà at its expected position on the plate, thus proving the other object to be a different body.[27] Precedence for sharing the name (not all Penny or Raj). The lady took a pic of another comet. He figured out it had an extra as yet undiscovered comet on it. Shared the name.

Stan the raccoon given free rein at the Huntzberger MV home bc he has been there longer than their family. Raccoons live 2-3 years in the wild.

Right. But most educated people know that is a pile of crap.

That's what I eat every day when I'm studying for my blood tests. ;)

I think Raj should have shared credit, for sure. But can you really "discover" something if you have no idea what it is and would have never had any idea what it was (and would never have followed up on it)? That's where he has Penny beat. But she did see it and the right thing to do would have been share the credit. Imo.

I really enjoyed it. However, given how much you have to stretch your imagination to buy all the fantastical stuff going on, the most unbelievable is that they let "Dr Smith" run around willy nilly (or even to be alive) given that she has proven herself to be a total psycho and liability. It's that kind of totally inconsistent nonsense that just ruins things for me.

Sure. I get that. But there seems to be a lot of timeline and continuity stuff discussed on Nitpicking. It kind of encompasses both. Also, you've never eaten breakfast at our house. Come on over!
