    While thinking about this episode a thought occurred to me. Where was The Doctor’s TARDIS key? We see Ruby’s when she exited and they needed hers to get back in. So where was his? 
    My theory. Susan Twist took it while the Ambulance was attached to him. 

    Or he left it in the Tardis along with his sonic

  2. I did like this better on rewatch this morning, though I thought the resolution and remaining scenes bogged down the episode. I didn't love it as much as the first two episodes but it was still pretty good. I give it a 7 out of 10

  3. In Season 1, Jake covered the following scandals:

    Ep 1: Rob Blagojevich - former Governor of Illinois who had a corruption scandal trying to sell former President Obama’s Senate seat. Jake interviews Blagojevich

    Ep 2: Mark Sanford - former South Carolina governor who disappeared for a bit to go see his mistress in Argentina I think and the cover story was he was just hiking the Appalachian Trail. Jake interviews Sanford

    Ep 3: John Edwards - former Democratic candidate for president who cheated on his wife with Rielle Hunter and they had a baby. Jake interviews Hunter

    Ep 4: Eliot Spitzer - former NY Governor who was revealed to be a client of sex workers after a sting operation. Jake interviews Spitzer’s former mentor and closest friend

    Ep 5: Jim McGreevey - former New Jersey Governor who came out of the closet and resigned after a corruption scandal including hiring a boyfriend to work for him. Jake interviews McGreevey

    Ep 6: Valerie Plame - former  overt CIA agent outed by the George W. Bush administration after her husband criticized the administration’s rationale for going to war in Iraq. Jake interviews Plame

    I haven’t seen the last episode yet, but overall it was an interesting season, with Jake even rethinking how he felt about some of the scandals he covered

    The press release for the ordering of the second season doesn’t indicate specific scandals to be covered, but I’ll post it to be complete https://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2024/05/15/cnn-orders-a-second-season-of-cnn-original-series-united-states-of-scandal-with-jake-tapper/

  4. I’m not quite sure what to think of the episode. It didn’t quite settle well with me but I’m going to watch the episode again to see if my opinion changes or I can figure out what bothers me about it

    I was confused at the reference to the Doctor being the Last of the Time Lords as I don't remember the Master dying last time we saw him (not that that would make much of a difference anyway!) - leaving aside any Time Lords scattered around the Universe whose fates are unknown (the Rani, Susan, Jenny, River Song*...). But in an episode full of callbacks, was anyone else worried that (Room) 357 was uncomfortably close to "the 456" (though a Children of Earth reference would definitely jar with the tone of this story)?

    The conclusion where the Doctor saves the Bogeyman felt suitably Who-ish. I guess in this Universe, Aliens has a very different ending!

    * OK, technically we do know her fate as we saw her final death, but as a time traveller, she could be alive at the time of the episode

    The Master seemed dead at the end of Jodie’s final episode “The Power of the Doctor”

    I hit the FF button as soon as Ned said Violet would be singing an original song. I was not sitting through that, no matter how talented the kid is!

    It was cute and about what you would expect written by a kid

    How do you think the final season of Superman & Lois will be received?

    I have watched nine of the 10 episodes and [they are] f–king awesome. It is weekly event television. Greg Berlanti and the producers have constructed 10 bangers. They really go for it. I’ve cried twice watching [the first nine episodes], and I haven’t even gotten to the finale yet. It’s Emmy-worthy. And, by the way, you can watch this final season without having watched the previous [seasons] and still be emotionally invested in what is happening. It’s a wonderful, 10-episode, contained arc.

  11. ABC News announced today the upcoming documentary "PRINT IT BLACK," on the local Uvalde newspaper's response to the Robb Elementary School mass shooting and the fallout that hit home, premieres Friday, May 24, at 8 p.m. EDT / 9 p.m. PDT on ABC News Live and Hulu.

    After the devastating tragedy, Uvalde Leader-News journalists are left to report on the fallout - and on one of their own staff members. Reporter Kimberly Rubio rose to national prominence as an advocate for gun reform after her 10-year-old daughter, Lexi, was killed in the shooting. Told through the lens of the journalists' reporting, the social fabric of a small Texas town unravels as Kimberly and other victims' families search for accountability from law enforcement and local leaders.
