Muffyn

Being the family scheduler for 19 children would be a big deal if they actually did things as individuals; that is, if the kids went to age-appropriate schools (pre-school, kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school) and had after school activities. It would be a lot to get everybody ready to go then to coordinate picking them up, getting them to soccer, little league, etc. However, when they are barely home schooled and then just hang around, there is not much to schedule. Mechelle would fall apart if she had to take on the responsibilities of a typical mother of two.

Black Hawk Down with Laurel and Hardy. 'Nuf said.

Well Mere, as we can tell baby Ellis does not look just like Patrick Dempsey. As the floating head of McDreamy shows us, he has luxuriant hair and a smaller head than old melon head Ellis. Brings to mind So I Married an Axe Murderer.

Michael Rappaport was excellent in this. He really owned the role. I liked the storyline of someone so desperate to be liked that they are over bearing and off-putting. So he tells Louie he is an ugly and unfunny; that's the way to make him want to spend more time with you. I've known people like this. I feel sorry for them but there is only so much you can take. Unfortunately hipster store owner rang a little too true to me. I live in a neighborhood that is rapidly changing. It is amazing how many of the newer businesses don't bother treating the older residences (i.e., over 30) with even a modicum of civility.

Because Meredith ended up at a competent hospital at which they not only looked after her children, but they also took good care of her and reached out to her emergency contact. Okay, so maybe I'm still bitter about they way Derek died. I really disliked the engagement scene. I recently had a long discussion with a group of friends about big showy engagements and almost all of us said we did not like them. (Dr. Muffyn had sense enough to just slide a ring on my finger when we were heading to dinner and asking if I would consider wearing it for awhile.) The scene at the restaurant was realistic. The hospital engagement was OTT. Why would everyone else around be so happy for them? I can understand the doctors with whom they are friends being invested, but not every random person on the floor. Why was no one pissed off because they wanted to take the stairs? Off to look for floating Derek head. . . .

There was just not enough STFU in the world for that scene. The doctor was complaining she had to wait two hours for a neuro consult. Derek died because there was no neuro consult at Podunk hospital and, when the neurosurgeon was finally called he took too damn long to get there. (Okay, in Derek’s voiceover of death he said it was already too late, but still.) Then again, Grey Sloan Whateverthefuck features departments with only one surgeon. Callie cannot head off to unnamed foreign war one because there will be no ortho surgeons left. In my ideal world, Amelia takes the entire bag of Oxy and overdoses so I don’t have to see her on the show anymore. So many crappy soliloquies, so little caring.

I hope Mere arranged to have someone clean the house before she came home. Sleeping in a bed with 9 months’ worth of dust would be pretty nasty. If she gave birth to that baby, I hope it was a C-section. She wouldn’t be able to walk if that melon came out of her birth canal. That is one big baby. Did you know there is such a thing as a carousel? And sometimes you want to get off of the carousel? I feel like I may have heard tis about 6000 times in the last two hours.

I vaguely remember that there was a time when I liked Gunnar. Now, unless he’s singing with Scarlett and/or Avery, I cannot stand to look at him. The only thing worse than dealing with Kiley is if we have to see Micah again. Yes Gunnar, your pain is so overwhelming, what with seeing your ex you had not seen in ten years (get over it!) and having your son/nephew that you instabonded with happily living with his grandparents. And now your non-son is the product of rape. I just cannot feel anything for him, mainly because of the mopey mcmoperson face of extreme mopeyness he sports. The purpose of the Luke and Jade relationships that I can imagine is Luke potentially coming to the realization that he cannot be happy playing second fiddle in a relationship. One of his big issues with Rayna was shown when she won more awards than he did. Now he was uncomfortable with Jade being the center of attention. At the same time, it was so hard to take his scenes with Jade seriously. First we have the worst use of a green screen ever with the supposed beach scene. Then we have Luke and Jeff bonding over their inability to deal with the women in their lives being the center of attention. Beverly’s backstory was just soooo stupid. Deacon decided to pursue a PAID music career with a woman he was attracted to and Beverly could have come along as a backup singer. Oh, the humanity! Had that not happened, she would have been a huge star! They were setting it up like rape or torture should have been part of her past, not freakin’ Kiley’s, with the extra dramatic black and white flashbacks. If only they had used the black and white to show her unable to crack an egg or strain spaghetti. As a corollary, if everyone was always an asshole would Deacon not have gotten cancer or would he just never tell them?

Where does one find an adult onesie with a split front? Kimberly may be telling us she%u2019s not confident but you have to be very confident to wear that. As for her performance, um, yeah, so there was that. I understand wanting to have her put more real emotion into the song but by the time she hit the bridge there was nowhere to go. Expressing emotion through a song does not mean the equivalent of slicing open a vein on stage. She really needed to dial it back. The Meghan does the same thing with Something. It was a night of women going over the top. Koryn, you are not literally on fire. This brought to mind Tobias Funke auditioning for a commercial for a fire sale. And getting back to shallow clothing commentary %u2013 where does one find a sequined rugby shirt? I am more and more convinced that Sawyer cannot take off the hat because he is an incarnation of Beelzebub and is hiding his horns under the hat. Only me?

Wow. That was the greatest Following ever. James Purefoy leaving no scenery unchewed. Ryan, bloodied and beaten asked how he’s doing, answers “I’m okay” and walks off. That is top quality bad TV. Now if only Joe’s last words had been a proclamation of his love for Ryan.

If they had him die of cancer it could have been written in such a way as to raise awareness of the cancers that have very poor recovery rates. Certain cancers get much more coverage than others. And great strides have been made in treatment reducing the mortality rates for many types. However things such as pancreatic cancer have horrifically high mortality rates. This could have been a showcase for a high mortality cancer and been used to promote the need for more research into better treatments. Alright. I stop pretending that GA does anything in a subtle and poignant way that could have been meaningful.

Being one of those people myself, I had no issues with her reactions. She is a surgeon. She was clearly in shock when the police came to the house. Her worst fears were realized. I also did not expect her to think clearly at that moment. I can see her not thinking immediately to call Derek's sister or the au pair to take the children. I can also accept her reactions at the hospital. With that said, during the long ride to the hospital that is apparently so far from Seattle that there are cell dead zones on the way, I would expect her to regain her composure enough to call someone.

To be fair, Derek's 100 mile plus "shortcut" takes him north and east to Mt. Baker. There he cuts through the forest of no reception before he reaches the transporter that demolecularizes him to zap him to the receiving transporter inside the pancake house about a half mile from SEA-TAC. He's then just a quick jog from being at airport security.

So many annoying issues. They had just cleared the road of two crashed vehicles and had multiple ambulances and at least one fire truck. Yet no one waited for him to get back on the road. And a truck was barreling down the road that would have just been re-opened. How far back was the road closure that the truck had enough space to get up to speed? Derek is narrating his own death. Okay. So when he was awake but couldn’t speak, fine. No one ever checked his voice box or looked for a head injury when he couldn’t speak. Sure. Not a trauma center so rather than being overly cautious we go the exact opposite route. Well, it’s Shondaland, so okay. After Derek’s pupils are blown and he’s brain dead on the table he’s still chatting away in his head. Um, okay. Thanks for that Shonda. Where did Derek’s wallet go? Did the cops take it? Usually they’ll at least give the health insurance card to the EMTs. The EMTs would have kept trying to use his name to address him. That’s pretty standard to help keep the person alert and check for reactions. But non-trauma hospital of fuckery doesn’t reach out to the cops or EMTs to get a name for Derek. Dr. Muffyn has seen a rescue helicopter overhead and rushed back to the hospital just in case. That is, when he was actually willing to leave for a few minutes to get an ice cream. On call means you are there and ready to go. Not a long way from the hospital, out to dinner having drinks, or anywhere you cannot readily get back from. In his hospital it can take twenty minutes to get from one area to another. He still gives me a hard time for how long it took me to get back to the surgical waiting room when my brother had surgery and Dr. Muffyn was waiting to tell me how it had gone. Are they now going to rename the hospital Grey Sloane Shepherd Whateverthefuck?

Sometimes I forget what a beautiful voice Christina Aguilera has. It was nice to see her sing a straightforward song – no big trills or runs – just simple and truly wonderful to listen to. It was also really nice to hear Daphne singing in a duet in which she really got to take lead at times. She is so often overshadowed. I am not as enthralled with the Stella Sisters as many seem to be. She really changed my mind tonight. Another beautiful performance. Okay, I still just cannot with Gunnar. I am tired of his mopey mope face. I am tired of his great angst. I am just tired of him overall. I do not see him as the great love of anyone’s life. I do see him writing in his diary about all of his oh so deep feelings and crying into his pillow about the girl who wouldn't dance with him at the junior high dance. Just based on this hideous outfit we new the DRAMAH! was coming. We're lucky there wasn't a pool available so she could get into a fight with Jade, they would yank on each other's hair and shoulder pads and end up in the pool.

We can only hope.

All of this talk about the number of pumps needed does not have me thinking about washing my hair.

That's it exactly. Deanna is an attractive women with a beautiful body. She is taller and larger than many of the people with whom she is on stage. Corey, Joshua and Sawyer are all short and/or slight. I am 5'11" with broad shoulders, I am larger than the average man in the US. So if you put me in a white jumpsuit under stage lights next to smaller men who are in dark clothing I would look very large. It is just really bad styling, something The Voice team excels at. DaNica was a great example. The things they did to such a lovely woman. If Deanna was standing on her own and performing in that jumpsuit it was a bold choice that accented her curves. However, when they lined her up with the other contestants, they did her a disservice. At least this season we are not seeing the Kohl's ads where the stylists explain their insane decisions when putting together outfits. Deanna needed a coach that could really help her with breath control and maintaining tone. Blake might have steered her toward songs that better suited her voice. Adam really doesn't seem to coach his people that much. Rob was a king of runs, putting them in wherever he could whether they fit or not. However, he also had problems with breath control in the unembellished parts of his songs. Maybe he found them too boring to care about?

It really wasn't her night, First she's put into an outfit that makes her look three ax handles wide. Then she has to participate in her group sing. Finally she's voted off. It was a humiliation trifecta.

After a traumatic event you may feel you are reliving it. Seeing that vag wash split maneuver was a traumatic event.

Dear Ry-Ry, Gwen makes me stabby too. However, I don't have dreams of teaming up with Joe Carroll to kill her in her sleep. Maybe you want to lay off the pre-bed snacks or switch your sleep meds. Okay? Thx. I was talking to my niece the other day about how many more young men are sporting beards; we were even joking about mutton chops making a comeback. And then an abomination occurs - Michael Ealy in mutton chops. Of all of the horrors this show has seen fit to show us, this is the most inexcusable. Sure, the plot makes no sense, the story seems more and more like it was pieced together grabbing odd plot contrivances, characters and scenes of ineptitude out of a grab bag. But could they leave the pretty to be pretty?

Are we sure his hair isn't attached to it?

I wish they would consider this when picking the group sings. The opening number (especially rocket man) was painful. Meghan's performance had me really listening. I tend to half watch. Normally I fast forward through everything but the actual performances but I'm watching live tonight. Koryn kept it going. She may be picking it up at the right time. Prior to The Voice, I liked Pharrell. Um, not so much now. I had such hopes for him. Then he went all super Jesus on us.

Well, he does like women who light things on fire and Dany has three dragons.

Did anyone expect a titan up-skirt? Dany is a ruler with good intentions but she really doesn't know what she's doing. While I feel like Bronn should be free to live his life, I like the thought of him on a road trip with Jaime. And yeah, he was planning on knocking off his fiance's sister as soon as they were married.
