I was not expecting Goodwin to buy the company

The Guardian: The Post Office inquiry is finally exposing the part the politicians played in the Horizon scandal https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/15/post-office-inquiry-politicians-horizon-scandal-government-profits?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=twt_gu&utm_medium&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1713190201

Egads, the Post Office folks are bunch of meanies for the way they went after and destroyed people, especially the guy who visited Fujitsu and saw things he shouldn’t. Mr. Bates is a hero for pushing for the truth

So Mickey and Sharon are half sisters or step-sisters? I initially thought it was the former but I relistened to how they described their relationship and it sounded like the latter Overall, I liked Morena though at times she and the dialog seemed stilted, but it was interesting to watch the byplay between Sharon and Mickey I did have some background suspicion about the shooting with the deputy only getting shot in the arm while the sheriff was shot in the head, but I didn’t fully twig to the deputy being dirty. And of course he was dumb enough to spill his whole plan to Bode and the other inmate The sick inmate certainly ran well for someone with stage 4 cancer. He didn’t look sick at all

It also wouldn’t surprise me if Francey, Margaret’s executive assistant, is sabotaging things. She indicated she thought she cut a vendor a check, but that could be a lie

This was a fun episode and Jenifer Lewis was such a crazy loon delight. Her operatically singing not guilty in court was a highlight I already didn’t like Beverly last season and I dislike her more this season. It certainly seems like she’s setting Margaret up for something. As noted there seems to be funny business with paying vendors, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Bev is setting Margaret up to take the fall for the firm’s financial issues (and Bev is behind that probably) and oust her from the firm

Hmm, maybe. Just enough to differentiate

Mr. Bates considers private prosecutions for Post Office officials https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68805556

Just an FYI with a new season coming up, I conferred with a couple of mods on how to designate episode titles (ie the S01.E01 part) since the new season is starting with Season 1. For the moment, it looks like the best choice to reduce confusion and problems sharing space with existing episode titles is to go with something like "S01.E01 (BBC/Disney+): Ep Title", so for example, S01.E01 (BBC/Disney+): Space Babies. This will especially help if we're all still around when they get to Season 8 given the board starts with Series 8 episodes, and if a future showrunner decides to start with Season 1 or Series 1 again. If anyone has thoughts or suggestions on something else you think might work better, please say so

So contestants competing against each other was somehow different from contestants in teams. Except for the elimination round, I didn’t see much difference in behavior; they still jostled with each other to get the ingredients on the platform I wish the judges had explained better what a Japanese Bento Box was; I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before

Maybe because she’s the mother of the actress who plays Cricket and was possibly doing it as a fun favor? Otherwise, I agree with you that they aren’t focusing enough on the ghosts

It would not surprise me if CBS uses the timeslot for the new soap they are developing

For those without Twitter, the Doctor Who Twitter account is showing first look photos of Millie, Ncuti and Varada Sethu, who will be joining the team in Season 2 in 2025 BBC press release about Varada https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/varada-sethu-joins-the-fifteenth-doctor-and-ruby-sunday-in-season-two

CBS is ending the show with a shortened 15th season in the Fall and the last episode will air in December https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/the-talk-ending-cbs-december-2024-1235873110/

Man, they are making really obvious efforts to hide Rose’s pregnancy

Flower!

The dinosaur stuff with the stripper was so unexpected and hilarious. And the rest of the episode was fun too, but not quite as fun as the stripper with Dino noises

Uh…renewed! Surprise! http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2024/04/11/surprise-cbs-renews-hit-drama-series-swat-for-the-2024-2025-season-950211/20240411cbs03/
