He will always be the PPoD in my heart.

The problem with showing nose jobs is it often takes a year for all of the swelling to go down and the final shape to be seen. She will still have a prominent nose, but it won't look as wide when it settles in. And she no longer has a drooping tip. She is quite pretty. From the way she spoke of her family, I expected them to be really good looking. Yeah, no. They were okay looking. Sounds like they were just terrible to her growing up. I had a large nose and one of my brothers made comments about it throughout my childhood. He would have had the same nose except he broke his when he was five and most of the cartilage was removed. It will mess with your head. The reveal for the tummy tuck person was silly. Of course her family had seen her before the big reveal. This show is ridiculous in setting these things up. Did she wear a muumuu for a month or something?

Blessings are stackable. They'll be fine in Chez Shack.

Richard: (Gary) does have beautiful eyes.

What bothers me about the search for Cathy’s birth mother is the way it was conducted. My niece found my sister through a search site. My sister wasn’t actively looking for her daughter, but a friend of hers who knew the story of her daughter’s birth and how she had lost contact (it’s very ugly) saw a listing for first name who lived in tiny town, state had a baby girl on date . . . your daughter would like to contact you. This left the decision up to the people involved and was seen by people interested. Dill put Cathy’s birth mom’s information out to her rabid followers. That reveals her and her family to the crazies. Since they had her name and DOB, they could have looked for her in other ways.

Hamburger Mary's in Houston was recently in the news/facebook feed because someone wrote a homophobic slur on their bathroom door and they counter by painting the door very colorfully and with a heart. There is more than one location. So you may have seen it from this coverage. The 3D rendering of Porkchop's face was really bizarre looking. It took me out of what they were explaining.

With no prior knowledge, I am fanwanking that he did not explode because he saw himself as having gained more desire to try to spread the word of god. The African preacher thought he became god. I can assume Tom Cruise might also interpret his changed status that way. If we take a "no god but god" approach, then people given the power who interpret it wrong and elevate themselves are most likely to use the power wrong, so they must be destroyed/exploded. I enjoyed this pilot. I too had no prior knowledge which can help. I can take it as a show without trying to compare it to source material. It's different. That's worth a lot to me.

That was bizarre. If her blog is important enough to have Richard want to talk to her, tell her all of the wrong things, and then go into meltdown over what he said, it's important. If it's that important (that is, not just general ramblings) and she interviews people and does research, she would be covered under the shield laws. What she reported was accurate. Her source heard it second hand so he did not violate his non-disclosure cause. The whole story line is a mess. I know we're supposed to hate attorneys, but this is why they exist.

Breakfast with Jonah? But he's fructose intolerant!

But Katie is pretty and sweet and sweet and pretty. That's some great dialog there. Really got into Jake's head. Now I know what he sees in her. He sounded like he was mimicking the Panera soup and salad and salad and soup commercial. OttoDbusdriver pretty much said it all. How the hell did the wonder tweakers do all of this? How did the numbers keep going up and down? How the hell was red shirt guy stabbed in the back and propped against the elevator door? Why did they do all of this? How the hell did they know this place was there? Why? WHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY???????? This show makes no sense at all. Oh, and I am pretty damn sure we were supposed to care that preggo's mom was bitten. I don't care. I don't care at all.

Between this show and Containment I am starting to think the human race is too damn stupid to survive..

I took it that watching the play and seeing the reenactment of her father's death brought back to her that she would rather be a Stark than a faceless girl. Arya has some shit to do and she's going to do it. So, buh-bye, stick-wielding faceless waif. You're in Arya's way.

Ben: You can not bail out Charlie Baird's bank. Selena: Why not? Ben: Because it's going to look like you care more about your boyfriend than you do the economy, normal people and everything else you are supposed to care about. Kent: AIDS, for example. Ben: Thanks, Kent's autism. Selena: At least when Truman made the decision to drop the bomb, he wasn't fucking anyone in Hiroshima. Woman in focus group regarding Jonah: His head is too big for his body but sometimes his body is too big for his head. Other woman: He's the wrong shape. Jonah: I work in the fucking West Wing, you Pepperidge Farm ad mother-fuckers! Richard to Jonah: We just a letter from the band Rush. They say we can't use the song Working Man anymore because they find you "odious." Ben: Hanukkah polls better in Mecca. Richard: We got the okay from Gary Glitter but he's in jail for child rape so maybe not the first choice. (said with a big smile and a shrug) Reporter to Amy: You don't want to be the face of cuntgate, although you do have the perfect face for it. Selena to Jonah: Hey, hunchback! I don't know what you've been doing instead of trying to win but I'm going to guess that it has the word anal in it. Now, you learn to control your cock-sucking temper, otherwise I'm going to come there myself and I'm going to shoot you in your fucking mouth.

Memories are very strange. I think people often get confused and think people don't have very early memories because we don't tend to remember a lot of day-to-day things, or they fail to realize that small children interact with the world differently than adults. For example, I have relatives that expect for me to remember street names and which public transit to take in Philadelphia. I lived there from birth until I was 6 years old. I certainly wasn't driving and didn't take the bus by myself so those would not have been known to me at the time. I do have some very early memories; unfortunately many of them are ones I would rather not have. On happy news, I am a Humanist Celebrant. I performed my first wedding today. It was a surprise wedding. The couple was having a barbeque and they decided that since the people they most cared about would be there, they would get married. They told me to dress like I was just going to a picnic because they didn't want to tip anyone off. We had some seriously good food. When most people were done eating, I got the crowd's attention to say that the couple had something they wanted to say. They said their vows; I pronounced them wed. The crowd was shocked, happy, excited - I think I could even unironically use gob smacked. It was really touching. And the groom made me some really good cookies. A win all around.

Jonah's campaign ad is made of win. He looks so awkward with the axe. And then to have him chasing a child. That is brilliant. Selina works with these people. How could she not know they have all (save Gary) called her a c*nt at one point or another? She called the queen one just the other week. I assume that Selina having a gay daughter will help her win somehow.

I am catching up and just saw the episode with the Sklars. How do we get them blocked from this show forever? Chris was laughing at their jokes but the audience seemed lukewarm. I felt sorry for the other comic, not just for the seemingly never-ending Canada jokes. Shut up, Sklars! Maria Bamford is a treasure. I'll be watching her Netflix show this weekend. Bamford!!!

A survey was done of adoption rates of shelter cats based on their names. When factoring out the other issues that affect adoption (age, breed, hair color, health issues), cats named Lola were least likely to be adopted/had the longest waiting times before they were adopted. I kept thinking of this during the episode. Poor Lola. She'll be all alone in her cage for such a long time. Would she be willing to consider Peaches? Fluffy? Princess Purrs-a-Lot?

Sweet baby Jesus on a cracker, Katie! Run, Quintin, run! Oh my God, where did Quintin go? Well, you twit, you told him to run. If that child is half as stupid as you are he's going to keep running until he hits a wall. Hell, he'll keep running into the wall until he passes out. Nobody told him to stop. I love you so much for this.

I have had the University of Phoenix brain song in my head all damn day. Must burn all University of Phoenix buildings to the ground. Must burn buildings. Must.

Okay, here's the thing. Native Americans/American Indians still exist. Really. And they face discrimination. They are the only group in the US jailed at a higher rate per capita (i.e., as compared to percentage in the population) than African Americans. They are also more likely to be shot by police, to die in custody or to go missing. Native rights issues are important. Acting like the team name issue is unimportant - fine. Have your own opinion. Stating that all of the Native Americans are gone/no one is left to protest turns us into historical artifacts rather than living persons. I expect more from this show. I can say I have never been called a redskin. Why? Because the racists save a syllable and call us skins. Maybe next time they talk about an issue regarding Native Americans they could have one on the panel. Y'know, since they still exist.

Clearly I care so little about this show I cannot remember/learn the characters names. It's not Thomas I wanted gone; it's Quintin. Damn, that kid bugs! You have all covered the stupid so well. what hit me most this episode was the amount of time spent on abandoned building dude. So deep, so heart-wrenching,, so who cares random guy! With 4,000 people in the cordon, we've seen 20? 30? Not counting the few crowd scenes. I like how quickly some people have decided this is the zombie apocalypse and there will be no ramifications for their actions later on. Sure, take over a store. Shoot someone for coughing. Hold hostages. It's all good. So maybe Thomas really won't get sick and is somehow the link to immunity. It's that or he's just another casualty of Katie's tremendously bad caretaking. She shouldn't be trusted with a potted plant, let alone children. I guess Jake loves her inability to keep track of kids and her willingness to abandon them. Love among the idiocy.

I agree Stephen's interviews can be hit or miss. He still does his best with politicos. He hasn't yet gotten down how to make an interview with yet another actor shilling yet another TV show/movie/whatever. On TCR, the interviews often ran over and were available on line. When Stephen did his first Late Shows he kept running over and they had to edit the show down to fit the hour. I wonder if he is still having some problems with time management since some of the interviews fell like they have been edited in a choppy way. On any talk show there are interviews I watch, interviews I leave on in the background and ones that I skip. Part of the problem is I watch too many night time shows - The Daily Show, The Nightly Show, The Late Show - and the same people make the rounds. For example, I like Anthony Anderson (had a major crush on him for years!) but he was on all three shows in five days. He is actually a good interview because he has more to say than just watch my show. However, I would rather not see him every night. I still find Stephen very enjoyable. I feel like Jon Batiste is better blended into the show now. He interjects sometimes without being too much. He's not a natural side man, but I enjoy his energy. They seem to be developing more of a rapport. I fast forward through cartoon Trump. However, I love midnight confessions (brings out the former catholic in me). Also Stephen doing the bachelors on the bachelorette was made of win. He absolutely had the patter and actions down.

@Rancide Nunez did look tiny. Then again, Cleen looked pretty damn short next to Anthony. I didn't realize until last night how tall he is. @candall So much hate for Peck's suit jacket without a shirt look. Yuck! His jackets must all have nasty pit stains with the lining wearing away. It really disgusts me. Would a shirt be so difficult to manage? Everyone else wore one, even the folks with fresh chest pieces. When Nunez in his big boy suit looks better than you it's time to step up your game. I weirdly liked Cleen's sharkskin suit. He may annoy me but he does stick to his style while still trying to look his version of sharp. And, he was wearing a shirt, so points to him. They improved some of the sound issues from the prior year's finale. At least the contestants could hear (usually) hear them. The live crowd shushing was silly. Also, it was obvious that a big part of this was personality contest/who do you like best. The live audience was chanting different people's names before they even saw the tattoos. Hence, Christian was third rather than in the top two. The panel had more Cleen fans than Christian ones or people that could just look at the tattoos. They were supported by the crowd. For the Matti versus Sausage competition, the crowd was chanting Sausage well before the tattoos were shown. Frankly I hated Sausage's tattoo because it featured a "Native American" woman. Don't make my people into a meme. Natives still exist.

I very much preferred Christian's chest piece to Cleen's. He fit the design to the person's body really well. I felt like Cleen's tattoo actually accented the wrong parts of the man's body. It did seem like he made it to the final two purely because of Meagan Jean's mouth. She would not shut it. Now I'm glad she was off the season when she was. Hope we don't see her again. From Cleen's face when Dave asked about their relationship, there's no there there. I'm not so sure Cleen is a "cowboy" as much as he's just not that into her. If the top two were Christian and Anthony it would have been a tough choice. I am glad Anthony took it all. He looked so nervous on stage. He seemed to be doing breathing exercises to keep himself in check. It was funny hearing Dave have to tell him he was supposed to talk. I'm surprised he didn't answer that he was afraid to talk for fear he would vomit. It's a shame Anthony didn't finish the dragon. I sense he may end up finishing it. After all, he's got $120K. He can afford to do a little free work.

I was expressing what I saw as Chris' POV. From Alicia's POV, he stood and watched when a walker was trying to make Madison into dinner and he threatened Alicia. From Madison's POV, she knows Alicia is afraid of Chris and has reason to believe he wishes harm to both of them. So waking up and seeing him holding the knife gave her good reason to be concerned. I agree Travis did the right thing by separating Chris from the herd. However, I still don't see his earlier actions as evidence of evil versus trauma. The kid is f'ed up. Then again, at this point, they should all be in some way. They are going for Schrodinger's Daniel. Is he dead or alive? Did he burn or did he just exorcise his demons? They were trying to make it sound open, then Gale said something that made it sound very much like he is still alive. Later she does not react to the comment that Daniel is dead. Shenanigans!
