If the show is not good, we may see them in one episode as a favor to Grammar to get viewers.

Reviewer describes reboot as "the new series takes place in Boston, the cast will mostly comprise of all new characters who Frasier meets while navigating a new city." https://www.primetimer.com/news/frasier-sequel-bebe-neuwirth-david-hyde-pierce-jane-leeves Does she not know that Frasier was a spinoff from Cheers, set in Boston? The city is not new to Frasier (unless she means it's changed a lot??).

My baby boomer sister had one of those in the early 1970s. So the music being the sword to Vecna? That's why in the earlier episodes we always saw Max with her Walkman on? The music was protecting her then.

One more thing. Did the stories the men told Danny about their first times really help? How about "everyone fumbles about their first time," or "just communicate with your partner." I didn't think "her parents watched" or "blockbuster employees played my tape asking a girl out" could help first-time jitters.

Also, all of the addiction specialists I read about are former addicts, therefore older than most college students. I agree with whoever above said he likely could do all of the classes online. Else it has to be that of the over 200 colleges in Boston, only this one offers his major AND doesn't offer online classes. And neither does any other school in the whole USA. Right. And what happens with many people after significant time off is that the employees covering for them find out how poorly they were doing their job and therefore they return and are fired for cause. We save AMLT for after our weekly beer night. It's such a bad show. Not looking forward to the Alzheimer's story line b/c have had that in my family. What tests exactly did his father have done, though? Usually it's diagnosed through conversations with the patient. Diagnostics might be done solely to rule out other possibilities. The show made it seem like his diagnosis depended on whether an MRI instead showed he has some other condition.

I really don't like that it's a family of criminals. The parents seriously put their children -- and grandchild -- at risk? The show seems to want to make it seem chummy. Maybe I'm just too judgmental. Do they ever even operate the bar? And wouldn't the CIA agent wonder about a 1/4 owner of a bar being able to afford that huge hotel suite for 3 days and also that gala? She and Milo are pretty to look at (I called it that Milo would change to a tux for the gala) but no chemistry. And why would Milo's character pursue someone who isn't a fellow criminal? Yes, I realize the criminality of his last girlfriend bit him in the arse, but he can't really date someone if he's a criminal. I may continue to watch as a fluffy story, only.

True. More hands in front of eyes.

I specified to Mr. Smartymarty that we would watch this first, then All Creatures Great and Small. I did not see the "kiss" because my hands were over my eyes. One must plan these things, people. I'm old, so I don't understand how this is a video game.

I just was bothered that the teacher said the homework would be due "by the end of the class." But you did the work at home? Why wouldn't it be handed in at the beginning of class? Liked the pilot a lot. Gave a good, deep backstory. I like that we saw Sara's whole story in sequence rather than a series of memories of her father. Had forgotten I'd read that it is based on a video game.

It really seems like the marriage, to Charles, was like the arranged marriages of royals for centuries--a non-divorced, virgin, to create the next heir to the throne. But mix in 20th Century perspective on marriage as not merely a contract, but of love, which is what Diana thought was happening because that is how Charles acted, and you get this mess. I did feel a little sympathy for Camilla. She loved someone she wasn't allowed to marry. Yes, he could have abdicated, but the royals saw abdication as a terrible thing to do, not a romantic one. Hated the "Harry Met Sally" vignettes. So contrived, and done before in this series. And the conversation at the end, I just couldn't place much importance on, since I assumed it was totally made up by the writers.

I can't imagine that the prenup, if it did have a sin clause, then gave all or an enormous part of Tanya's money to Greg. *She* had the money, not him. More common is a sin clause against the less-well-off spouse, such that he can't divorce to be with his new girlfriend AND claim half his ex's fortune. Given that, and that it absolutely appeared that the plan was to kill Tanya, why have the whole party/cocaine/sleep with Nick montage at all? They didn't even need to take her so far away first, since they seemed intent on doing her in just off the coast of the hotel. Maybe a director just really, really wanted to edit together that wild party scene. And is the idea supposed to be that Ethan is now newly-attracted to Harper merely because someone else was? That seems farfetched.

When they got back together, that's when I started really shipping them, because they had so much ease with each other, and fun. Fun! They joked and laughed all the time. Remember Lawrence walking away and Issa wondering what just happened, and then he turned around and was "gotcha"? They just worked so well together. In contrast, while Issa and Nathan had a comfort level, their relationship seemed kind of dull. Like a relationship of convenience. I'm glad Issa ended up with Lawrence, even if it felt rushed in the finale. The one thing I would have liked in the finale, to make me really think their relationship was solid, was a view of Condola dropping Jah off, with her and Issa okay with each other. But at least they had Lawrence say that the babysitter was coming soon, so we knew that his relationship with Issa wasn't going to be dominated completely by his son. (Which it shouldn't be anyway, since he's sharing custody. They of course would have other times that Jah would be with Condola.) Looooved Molly's wedding dress. Agree that I wish we knew more about Taurean. But okay. As for Tiffany and Kelly, as others have said, Issa and Molly were the most important relationship, so I'm okay not knowing more about where they landed.

I didn't see a down jacket on Tanya before she fell into the water. Regarding passports, I always either have the passport on me or a copy of the front page. If the passport, then the copy is in the hotel. Though Harper and Ethan finally had sex, they looked like back to dull form. I don't think anything really changed. Hopefully they don't agree to vacation with the other couple again, though. I kind of think they won't, since Harper hates Cameron and Ethan got his confidence back.

I don't think Mia's off the hook. I think Valentina will make her continue sexing her to keep the piano job, completing the irony of Mia trying not to be a sex worker, but having to do so to keep her legitimate job. Also the irony of Valentina making up that Rocco and then Salvatore harassing that woman she wanted to date (can't remember her name) as an excuse to remove them from the lobby, and then Valentina will actually sexually harass Mia in exchange for Mia keeping her job. I just didn't see a change in Valentina, except to the extent that she didn't care about [other woman] anymore.

I realize I'm responding years later... but my college Thanksgiving break started Wednesday after one's last class. As for winter break, as far north as southern New Jersey, high schools don't have winter break. Just saying. Glad to come here to find out my thinking the newspaper guy's resemblance to Gary Busey wasn't a mere coincidence.

But you still had to be home by dinner. I don't get these kids being out after dark. Yes, there were tip jars in the 80s. Also, I was a female reporter from 1987-1989. I agree, though, that the sexist men are over the top. I accept them treating her as the coffee maker and lunch person, but not the rest. For me, in general, men in the 80s commented that if I stayed pretty and could cook, I would be a great catch for marriage. Nobody considered that I could have a career (which I did, by the way).

But the teams wouldn't initially know they were in descending order. Second pass through, yes. First time? Maybe about half way along. Meanwhile, they'd associated names and dates already, but now could use a different mnemonic device. I've seen friends' FB pictures from their trips to Iceland, and none showed the beauty (none of the waterfalls!) we saw in this episode. It's incredibly beautiful. I wouldn't mind doing that first water challenge, either.

Cracking the Russian code was interesting, but did it really need anything but the "blue and yellow come together"?

I recall him being featured as most eligible bachelor back in the 70s and looking quite handsome. He seemed to be with woman after woman (in the tabloids). Called them Charlie's Angels. https://www.tatler.com/gallery/prince-charles-ex-girlfriends

Same. Not my style (I go for practical clothes) but I find her clothes interesting. That they are not run-of-the-mill suggests to me that she is meant to be showing style. Very surprised so many here hate her outfits.

I learned about bulimia in a Psych 101 class in high school in 1980. The bird looked like a hawk to me, so I also saw it as a bird of prey. But we only saw it in scenes with Phillip, so I wasn't sure what the directors wanted it to symbolize.

Why was the gate to the secret tunnel locked on the outside? I guess it would be locked on the inside until someone went out on it, then that person would put the lock on the outside until they came back. So was someone out? Also, why didn't they have Saul walk across the Tarmac as the prisoners walked across, passing in the middle, rather than letting the prisoners get all the way across before Saul was released? it was an exchange.

Agree. Many more characters to like last season. This season, I'm only interested in Daphne, Albie and Lucia. That was ridiculous. No 5-star hotel would be like that. Mr. Smarty and I can't stand her!! We tolerated her in S1, but in S2 fast forward all of her scenes. As someone else aptly said: How she even was nominated for that performance is beyond me. Yes. That and the 3 characters I like are all I'm watching for, so far.

We thought David was the one being a dick. Just slow down at the signs, for heck's sake. What about those tasks that require people to be amazing sculptors, but one contestant doesn't have that skill??

I did not consider their evening a date in the romantic sense. Just two former girlfriend/boyfriend, now friends, getting together, with Lawrence wanting to revisit why their relationship had failed. We then saw how good they are together -- why they'd had a 5 year relationship in the first place. But it was so beautifully written, their maturity now to look back at the mistakes they both made. Lawrence didn't want it to end, inviting Issa into his apartment (even if for just 5 minutes more, but to show her how he's grown), and then Issa not wanting the evening to end, them spending the night together expressing their love to each other. Issa left in the morning with a renewed sense of her own agency. Yes, she and Lawrence had sex, but she participated in that fully knowing he was going to see Condola and fully knowing he's considering moving to SF. The two of them certainly got some closure on their old relationship, and time will tell whether they will go back to dating now that the issues that drove them apart no longer exist. I don't think Lawrence has a "date" with Condola in the romantic sense, either. I got the sense (though only from him) that she also wants to figure out what went wrong in their relationship. I don't think she's pregnant. She only kept texting him because he initially said, yeah, I can see you tonight.
