  1. I wonder if it a case of since the ship has its transponder off the US coast gaurd is assuming the Mexican coast has it in thier sights and vice versa. It did look rather close to the border so it may be a case of each government assuming the other is taking care of it. Especially since no SOS has gone out. Yeah think about all the kitchen staff slicing and dicing in 10 foot waves. Don't tell me he never sees any blood. Most cruises would at least have IV bags for dehydration and extreme seasickness. Disney offers B12 infusions AKA an IV in the freaking spa on thier new ships.
  2. I think it something like that. Although with the therapy and the migraines I wonder if we might be headed for a health crisis with Athena. I feel like they are trying to set something up here with Bathena that is going to be ongoing after they get off the cruise ship. Yeah I feel like Buck took the wrong tack there and should have just underlined the importance of honesty and transparency in relationships. Empathy is great but not the strongest suit for most teens in any case. Honesty would appeal to Christopher's sense of right and wrong which has been pretty solid historically.
  3. Watching the opening it looks like the guy watching the DVD goes to hit pause when he gets up. I suspect he hit the repeat button instead because he was distracted. I also find it interesting that there is the implication that the scientists had some kind of role in a Native woman's death. I do wonder if the isolated all male environment wouldn't be a breeding ground for aggressive behavior. There have been cases of people going off the rails in places like that. The nature of the activists murder is meant to make it seem like her death is tied to her activism but "disgust" as Navarro put it would fit with intimate partner violence as well. Or someone who was rejected and hates women for it. Maybe getting away with one murder led him to think he could do more.
  4. Something to keep in mind is the diary is something Amy wrote to incriminate Nick not necessarily the gospel truth. It's likely his anger and resentment were exaggerated to make him look guilty.
  5. I think Steve Martin is 78 so the show will continue for as long as he wants to do it. I also think that since Steve Martin is 78 TPTB are hedging thier bets on how long he will be able to do it. It's not so much that Steve Martin doesn't want to do the show it's just everyone involved recognizes that he he could quite easily be forced into retirement. So I suspect renewal in this case came down to Steve Martin feeling like he had another season in him. (And possibly his doctor decarlaring him fit)
  6. I'm more resigned to it being Tobert. It does feel a bit repetitive for it to be one of their love interests. I do like the theory that he is actually an undercover agent investigating Ben's drug use. I do wonder if it's going to turn out that Ben tripped over Howard's cat and fell or something like thay rather than being pushed.
  7. I am indigenous and know a few survivors and the few stories of benevolent staff I have heard usually ended with them being punished or moved on away from the kids. Staff in these places were told these children were wild and required strong discipline, kindness was considered counter productive. Some groups have actually suggested the Catholic Church moved pedophile priests and problematic nuns into the residential school system because no one there was allowed to complain about it. I think Pallida covered the idea that Native Americans are not monolith but I was thinking you might appreciate a few notes from an indigenous perspective. Segregation is definitely a side affect of the reserve system. It's helped preserve our culture but it also made it harder to build up our communities. A lot of reserves are isolated and underserviced. (my Uncle just got WIFI last year for example). Discrimination is common, I myself have missed out on a job when the interviewer realized I am Native. Reservation Dogs is portrays the Rez is fairly typical. It does vary though my reserve has more newer houses for example and there are reserves that have investments worth billions. There are also reserves that are poorer where housing is extremely dilapidated and overcrowded. Like other racial groups Native Americans are a sub-culture we have our own commanlities like rez dogs that are hard to explain to outsiders. We also have our own spirituality and culture which differ between groups and tribes. We are not the Amish we don't reject the modern world we often embrace it. While the show pokes fun at it Native Rap is a growing genre that increasingly recognized. We also produce artists and musicians of all genres and mediums. We are not a relic we are a living breathing society. Sorry for the long post but I felt like the discussion needed an indigenous voice.
  8. I think he is trying to play the long game. He thinks if he moves out and gets a crappy studio it will be easier to move back in. He also doesn't want Miranda moving in with Che. Plus if she is living with Brady it might put a crimp in that relationship. I think Steve agrees with most of us that this relationship is doomed and is waiting them out.
  9. Yeah I don't think it's occurred to Frank that this could backfire. He has been trying to alienate Abby from the kids the shrink might call him out on that. It might also be worth noting that Frank doesn't seem to have the support system that Abby does. That is something judge's will often take into account.
  10. One thought I have had is that this show might reintroduce Monica Rambeau. Especially given the relationship she had with G'iah in Captain Marvel.
  11. I loved Ann's speech even if it was brutal to watch. It reminded me why I liked the character initially she refuses to be a victim. It was also something Ryan needed to hear. It's probably why he went to see Tommy in the first place, he sensed Catherine was holding back so he thought Tommy might give him the truth. If Ryan truly hadn't wanted to hear what Ann was saying he would have stormed off in typical teenage fashion. He stayed because he was finally getting what he wanted.
  12. I was thinking something would happen and they won't end up drinking the shots. Then Lisa would come in and take the loaded shot unaware (she has been built up too much to just be Natalie's guide to cult life). Callie would fit with that too but I don't know if the show would want go that bleak.
  13. Yeah I doubt anyone's first thought was cannibalism. The Indigenous people have been surviving in that area for hundreds of years, with a cabin and a gun it not impossible a group of girls did the same. I have a feeling someone talked. Maybe not one of the girls but perhaps a rescuer saw enough to draw conclusions. One thing that has occurred to me about them getting on plane after the rescue is most are assuming Coach Ben is dead because he obviously isn't in the press walk with the kids. It is possible he was simply loaded separately. In most cases airline's would use a chairlift for someone on crutches rather than have them attempt the stairs. He did seem to be rallying in this episode.
  14. One of the more popular theories I've seen is that they are actually being poisioned by mercury or lead and the land they are on is contaminated. So group hallucinations could be the result of that. Long term low level exposure is hard to detect and can cause cancer. Mercury contamination isn't unheard of in the Canadian wilderness. It would also explain why a place only 600 miles from the border is so uninhabited. 600 miles from the border is still cottage country in most of Ontario. (Although that could be the American writers not getting how big Canada is, it wouldn't be the first time.) Plus it explains why all the animals are so unafraid of humans.
  15. It hasn't been occupied in decades though. It's most likely there was a road but it's overgrown. Or was flooded out by a Dam. Ontario built a lot of hydro dams in the 60s and 70s and it rearranged a lot of their northern landscape. It also could still be hundreds of miles from anywhere there are a few abandoned mining towns in that part of the country.
  16. I don't see ABC wanting this show that badly since they have Station 19.
  17. I wonder if Matalas doesn't just want to save a Janeway and Seven reunion for the new show. When they have time to build a whole episode around it. Also a lot of this was filmed just post Covid so she may not have been available.
  18. He thinks Din still has the Dark Saber so he wanted to capture him and keep the Saber out of anyone else's hands. Which means if Moff has a spy in the Mandalorians thier information is out of date. So it would have to be one of the Death Watch tribe unless it was a merc who wasn't outside when Din made his speech. I also think that means it can't be the armourer because she noticed Din didn't have the saber anymore right away. I wonder if someone in Navarro is the spy. Not Greef but someone who works for him. Moff Gideon was based on the planet there he probably had allies and spies all over the place there. It would explain how they knew the Mandalorians were coming but not that Bo Katan had the dark Saber. Also Grogu is going to use his force powers to take control of the Mythosaur and use it to rescue his dad calling it now.
  19. The membrane between the vagina and urethra isn't all that thick though. My guess the vibrator went off long enough to tear a hole somewhere. Which would also explain the pain. It could be wedged in whatever path it's made so it's not causing a lot of bleeding. If she had given birth she might have had a tear there previously. Plus some people just have weird anatomy.
  20. It's possible there is something different about Picards brain that he passed to Jack. Maybe Borg made Picard into Locutus rather than a generic drone because there is something unique about his brain and how it works. I also wouldn't be shocked if assimilation alters the genome it's an extreme process. (I also wonder if someone shouldn't let B'lanna and Miral know as well if that is the case). I do wonder if that might have something to do with Jack's abilities.
  21. Yeah that would fit timeline wise. Although if Mandlorians were involved in breaking him out I wonder if it might be more just be to give him thier own trial and punishment. He did commit genocide against their people. I can see a group of them deciding New Republic jail is too good for him and deciding to inflict Mandalorian justice on him. Either that or Moff Gideon is outfitting some of his followers with Beskar armor.
  22. I wonder if it was another Senator like Bail Organa or Mon Mothma. Considering Mon would be Chancellor right about I wonder if she might be making an appearance at some point. Having her be part of Grogu's rescue from Order 666 might set that up. Personally I've never thought Din's journey was rejecting the covert completely. I always thought he was being set up to unite the various factions and lead Mandalore into the new Era. Which probably means finding a middle ground between Bo's liberalism and the Armourer's rigid rules.
  23. Which might mean Seven might have a chance to get through. We might get a Voyager reunion yet. In regards to Ryan vs Mulgrew. I always got the impression Jeri Ryan blamed those in charge and Bermanga in particular rather than any specific cast member. (Which makes sense since one of them is her ex). Reading between the lines from a few different sources (RDM's experience on Voyager jibes with this too) that the rot on that was from the top down and that Bermanga's particular brand of control issues and lack of people skills created a fairly toxic work environment. Mulgrew was mostly just towing the line and has apologized. (Braga still never really apologized to RDM who was his writing partner last I heard.) In the case of Jeri Ryan's introduction I think she blames the people who allowed the bullying to happen more than anyone which is fair imo. I think Jack Crusher is part of how the changelings have evolved. He was part of the medical team or accidentally stole some of their tech. He has some piece of their new secret and that's why they want him back.
  24. Yeah but this why I feel like cases like Tiffany's (Rey Rivera is another one) were it should have been ruled as accidental unless they have direct evidence. (Like a note or her saying something to that effect) Its just too hard on the families to declare it a suicide when it could just as likely have been an accident. I also feel like in this case the railway authority did it that way to avoid any responsibility. If it was an accident you could argue the rail company was at fault and sue.
  25. I wonder if it was simply an accident. If she was charging around the woods upset she might simply fallen backwards on the tracks knocked herself out and was still lying there when the train came through. She could have lost the head band and shoes walking in those trees. Or it is possible they flew off when the train hit her. Its actually fairly common for people who get hit by trains to lose their clothes completely. Plus its sounds like the shoes were ballet flats which fall off in a stiff breeze anyway. One thing about it being murder or an attack is her hands were intact and there were no defensive marks found. Nothing under her fingernails, no scratches or broken nails. Two autopsies and they found nothing.
