Muffyn

This has become the most frustrating part of this show. So many issues could be solved or at least lessened if they would speak to each other like adults. I understand that sometimes people are reacting to things outside of the other person;s knowledge, whether from their past or a misconception of what the other person would be thinking, but they never move forward because everything is based on assumptions and miscommunication or no communication effort at all. When the show started, the premise was interns are highly intelligent but behind in terms of social skills and emotional development because they spend so mush time focusing on their careers. It's not exactly year one anymore. They should have progressed. The surgeons arguing in front of the girl with the massive infection and her mother was so far from appropriate. They're lucky she didn't die. Clearly they would have been sued for doing nothing while they fought over who goes first. For being a world class surgeon, it's surprising that patients aren't being sent from other facilities to the incredible Derek Shepherd. So maybe he's a really good neurosurgeon, but not world class or at least not world renowned. And Meredith is a comet, not the sun.

I was expecting him to hit her at some point. Perhaps we can have Luke cheat with Sadie, then get angry at Rayna and blame her for his cheating because she was working. Then he'll hit her for making him cheat. Just seems to fit his character. Wow. If that's the real place, those bathrooms looked like a high school. I was expecting to see a couple of teen boys stumble out of the handicapped stall in a cloud of smoke. As we've learned on one of the commercial threads, perhaps an "incontinence specialist" could help young Micah with his problem. Of course he could also consider wearing Depend for special occasions.

I love this quote from the article "“Manzo’d exceeded Bravo’s expectations ratings-wise and they are definitely interested in another season,” the source confirmed." What were Bravo's expectations, two passed out drunks and a dozen people with an incredible ability to withstand boredom?

A golden shower? Or is that just what they call the retirement party?

She also had a great look when the termites were at the church, listing people's names, Her expression screamed "Don't say Judith".

I believe Judith has also artfully employed stink eye this season. That girl can give a look.

That thing was bizarre. It did not read like a skull at all. And it seems like it will age poorly also. That poor "canvas" is going to end up with a big black and grey blob on his head. Jason does seem like he can do good work but the competition brings out the absolute worst in him. He is on a bad downward slide. Don's tattoo was oddly drawn and really lacked perspective. The small horns on the mid line looked flat and two-dimensional. It still looked better than what Jason produced. I don't think I would ever risk getting a tattoo done on a competition show. I certainly wouldn't get one in such a visible place. I did think there were some good tattoos last night. I liked both Kleen's and Erik's tattoos. Some of the others had good components but bad overall design. It's time to step away from the roses. The canvas jury was a little odd too. I think I realized what really bothers me about it because it seemed really apparent last night. You've just gotten a large tattoo and it was done on a TV show; a lot of people will see it. You're still on half an endorphin buzz. Then a group of people sits around telling you how much it sucks. (One of the guys almost looked like he was tearing up when they pointed out the problems in his tattoo.) It's not like you can wash it off. When you get inked, even if it's not good, typically your friends will say something supportive. After my sister died, her step daughter got a remembrance tattoo. To me it looks like a fungal growth on her foot, creeping up her ankle. Did I tell her that? No. Instead I commented on how nice it was to choose to commemorate her step mom and we discussed the symbolism. I want her to feel good about it, not spend the rest of her life embarrassed and covering it. These people don't get the chance to enjoy their new ink before a group of people pick it apart. As to who's a huge jerk on the show, this season in particular they are really trying to amp up the whole drama between the contestants. They are encouraged to trash talk constantly. It's tiring to watch. I'm pretty damn sure Emily is a nasty piece of work, although I do think she chose to really push those traits for notoriety on the show. Many of the other comments I take with a grain of salt. It just seems like production wants the smack talking, I'm better - you suck crap, and the contestants foolishly keep delivering it. This is a good show to DVR so you can skip those parts. phoenix780, the editing was really wonky. They kept fitting in these 30 sec scenes that were completely disjointed. Maybe I should have smoked the evil weed to make it all make a little more sense (or at least give up on trying).

We will avenge your death! I tried it once too, then threw it away. It was so heavy I couldn't keep my eyes open. Maybe it's for people who want to bulk up their eyelids through mascara laden lash weightlifting.

Thank you!!!! The way people interpret any song with amen or hallelujah or any religious imagery as religious drives me crazy. I end up defending these songs to atheist friends too damn often for my own good. Well that and trying to explain how people can see Imagine a a religious song. I kind of weirdly love DaNica with her matronly look and powerful voice, but Creep was horrible. Way to miss the point. They could all use lessons on song interpretation.

Why?!?!?! WHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!!? Is this a sign of the apocalypse?

After seeing her OD on hand sanitizer later, I was wondering if Didi had just used it before Betty Buckley asked Didi to hold her hand. I wondered if after Didi left she licked her hand to see if any alcohol had transferred to it. The pregnancy reveal scene with Dawn and Patsy was so brilliant - both funny and sad. She refuses to hear what he is saying. He is too careful to really blurt it out.

I believe Daryl is not a virgin but as you said has never been in a serious romantic relationship. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some level of abuse and humiliation in much of his sexual experience, with Meryl or their father pushing him into situations he wasn't ready for or interested in. I would opt for sexual activities unlikely to result in pregnancy. Hand jobs and oral still exist, although given how stinky everyone is, I might stick with hands only.

He is valiantly holding on to death.

And now I'm seeing that on a resume. Job title: Incontinence Specialist. Accomplishments: Maintained full incontinence for three years. Filled adult diaper hourly. Became tester for standalone toilet devices. Okay, I really have to finish my resume so I'll stop thinking this way.

And: It seems like Helen is trying to improve her Helen of Cry image from her prior season. She almost seems like she's on downers with her odd smile and low affect. But she is still such a special snowflake that even if she's not doing her grand over-emoting cries of specialness, she still can't stop herself from being a drama queen. Oh, I sewed sooooooo many ruffles I had to wrap my hands. I am soooooo special I need to put on my special outfit for the runway. Get my hair glue and tiara! She really does come off like she expects constant affirmation of how truly wonderful she is and how all of her efforts are so much more important than everyone else's. She really didn't expect to be on the bottom but at least she didn't immediately break down and start sobbing. I think the outcome was skewed by the way they had two designers compete for top and bottom. If not, we may have seen both Michelle and Chris in the bottom. Her dress was incredibly boring and ill-fitting. But his was a train wreck. So she may have barely edged him out - still kept her out of the bottom. A few of the pairings either had better design versus better design (as compared to the entire runway) or poor design versus poor design. That led to a bad split overall. They should have just done the good or evil and skipped the designer vs. designer. I did not get the love for Samantha's dress at all. It looked like an ill-fitting sequined sack that someone tore a hole in. That material must have been very impressive in person or something. Also, the exploding chicken that Jay sent down the runway was laughable but it still won his pairing.

Was I the only one who thought the man was holding a mannequin and not his dead/not dead wife? I seriously thought he had jumped out a window to save the life of "real doll" or equivalent that he was madly in love with. Quite frankly, at Seattle Grace Death, I'm surprise anyone checked for a pulse. So hey, go Meredith! As for Derek's great pain, okay, he's not head of neuro anymore. Doesn't mean he's not a surgeon. They act like only one doctor in each specialty ever gets to do anything. The waiting list for surgery in Seattle would be miles long. If anything, not being a department head should free up his time more for surgery, research and whatever else he wants to do. And I call shenanigans on yet another emergency board meeting. Was there anything emergent in the big Amelia reveal? Again, it's not like she's the only neurosurgeon available.

The other day I mentioned to someone I was on line discussing/snarking on/venting about commercials. He looked at me like I had three heads and said incredulously "Really? You do that?" like it was the strangest thing he had ever heard. I agree. It matters. it does. In our defense, commercials often guide the understanding people have about other groups. We all learned men are children who cannot be trusted to do the simplest tasks. That is, unless they're shopping for financial services. Then only recently have women been involved and rarely on their own (with the exception of telling mom to buy insurance on dad since you figure one of these times he'll fall off the ladder and kill himself - hell, the whole brood seems to be hoping for his imminent demise so they can score some sweet funeral expense insurance money). And women are obsessed with yogurt. If they're not eating it because they flove it, they're eating it to lose weight or to poop or to counter their eternal yeast infections which we know they have because they are wearing their grey hoodies of feminine itch and odor. They often talk to the men in their lives like they are complete morons. Of course, the men are so stupid they don't mind. Children are adorable when they destroy things. And snack chips render people so incredibly stupid they cannot tell an apartment from a restaurant or a box from a time machine. Okay, I may be ranting now. However, every time we praise a commercial that does show a positive shift in societal norms and mock one that leads to the dumbing down or negative stereotyping that reduces us all to mere caricatures, I like to think we do a little bit to improve the situation. Then again, I could just like to snark. And I am glad to have found my people. After I left my job as a shit shoveller, I really moved up in the world and became an incontinence specialist. I'm working toward a degree in body fluid controls and analytics with an overall goal of becoming a vomit analyst. If they really use the job title incontinence specialist, how would they ever be able to get another job? They'd be lucky to get through an interview without the interviewer being on the floor laughing. Do you prefer a cork, a clip or botox to the bladder to help control incontinence?

I went over this maneuver in detail with Dr. Muffyn over the phone (He's out of the country at the moment). After way too much back and forth explaining this, he finally decided it's a quick path to a fractured penis. Then he had to stop thinking about fractured penises. This did not lead to a hot and heavy phone sex conversation. Stillshimpy, light switch to the spine - ow! I will, however, try to fit "circus sex" into conversation from now on.

I caught the episode with Deon whatever his name is. After every comment he has to grandstand. He just ruins the whole flow of the episode. Say something potentially funny, pose, stare at audience, sway, act astounded at own supposed wit, re-engage audience, point at random people in the audience . . . . finally let the show continue. Even if someone else had a good joke, he had to get in on it. Just tiring.

I agree; the "patrons" are morons. Sure, this guy's apartment is a restaurant. There is little seating, only one idiot running around, no menus . . . . And the guy's no rocket surgeon. Is he taking orders for food he can't provide? The party at the coffee table would like guacamole, enchiladas suiza, chicken mole and a pitcher of margaritas. Hop to it, moron!

Stabler, scowling look of extreme intensity on his face, pushing Noah on a swing . Someone suggests that maybe a baby is the connection between the shelter and the pornographers, Suddenly Stabler yanks Noah out of the swing and pins him against the metal frame of the swing set. Noah's tiny legs flail helplessly in mid air while Stabler gets within inches of his face "Okay baby! Spill it! How are you contacting them? Don't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about! You're selling young boys into slavery!" Noah, shocked, confused and heavily jostled, spits up on Stabler's shoulder. Liv runs over, grabbing Stabler's arm: "Elliot, the baby doesn't know!!!!!! He doesn't know!" Stabler drops the baby and stalks off, leaving Liv to pick up Noah and calm him. Oh Stabler, how I miss your intensity and ability to Take! It! Personally!

Wasn't enough to get me to watch Chicago PD.

I think they also wanted the big dramatic look of Josh being escorted out. Of all of the nutjobs on this season, I really don't think they had something to fear from him. I wish Cris had been eliminated. That is one seriously bad tattoo. The design was bad; the execution was terrible. And, as others have noted, he's spending a lot of time in the bottom. He's the Wendy Pepper of the competition - just barely one up from the worst.

That was my take in it too. She repeated what Andy asked about whether she wished she could take her daughters with her. Then it occurred to her she was saying she would take her daughters to jail. With both Tre and Joe Go, you have to leave a long period of time for the thought to bounce around in their empty skulls before they can form a thought. Jim may be the tallest of the three men. However, each of the Joes has so much size on him; a centimeter in height is irrelevant. We all saw in the epic Joe vs. Joe shoe polish battle that Joe Gi is hard to take down. I imagine a fight between either of the Joes and Tiny Jim would go down like a grade school fight, with Joe on top of Jim, pushing his face into the dirt and making him say “uncle”. I don’t support bullying. I do support anyone who wants to humiliate Tiny Jim. Although the best way to hurt him seems to be to ignore him since he is so desperate for attention. He’s like a gnat.

The issue I have with the show is the way they choose to present tattoo artists as overly aggressive assholes constantly looking for a fight. They have no problem keeping the booze handy and they try to up the drama by creating any kind of disputes possibles. So basically the show tries to show tattoo artists as a huge bunch of assholes. So when I mentioned besmirching the great reputation of tattooers, I should have been more clear that I was speaking about the reputation as bad boy outsiders one step from a complete meltdown/busting heads that is promoted through this show. Of course, when they actually talk to them as individuals, rather than trying to create Dramuh!, we see parents concerned about taking care of their children, people who have had struggles in life that they have overcome and, in most cases, professionals trying to do their best as artists. However, that is not the focus of the show.
