That was the moment I switched to the Golden Knights-Stars playoff game and didn't come back. Between Dante and his dad being chased by the mob with the Secret Brother! revelation, retconned Miles trying to mack on Robyn, and the peach cobbler subplot, I rolled my eyes more times than it was probably safe to do so. The Queen for a Day scene was just the cherry on top of all the ridiculousness. Sigh.

There wasn't enough hand-waving away in the world to make this episode work. In that scene, we found out that one of Robyn's superpowers is to avoid being sucked out of open planes at 10,000+ feet. But my biggest WTF moment was Miles doing a complete 180 about what Robyn is up to post-CIA. "I'm in!" That's it? I guess the showrunners are aiming for a love triangle, but considering how Miles was so uneasy about Robyn's activities that he was willing to sue for sole custody of Delilah, this turnaround makes no sense. I'll grudgingly finish this season because I've invested so much time into it, but I don't know if I'll be back for season 5.

I literally busted out laughing and rolled my eyes at the same time. Like really?

I can honestly say that I was completely bored with last night's episode, so much so that about 15 minutes in I started doing online crosswords and kept the show on as background. The Equalizer shines when they stick with the "client of the week" format. When they get into that CIA stuff, they lose me. I know it will be revisited at some point since it was implied that Michelle escaped, but hopefully, they'll keep the espionage to a minimum with maybe a couple of future episodes at most. Also too, the Delilah and Aunt Vi being in danger every week twist has the potential to get old really fast.

NBC News sent me a notification on my phone that she was at MetLife. After being subjected to shots of her in the sky box every 30 seconds last week, decided tonight would be a good time to catch up on my DVR watching instead.

I'll miss it too. I'm too cheap to pay for the premium channels like HBO, Showtime, Starz, etc., so I would watch their series when they came out on DVD. And I'm also sad that now when I see a trailer for a movie that looks good, I won't be able to go on the app to add it to my Save List.

I have to say that after watching seasons 1-6 via Netflix DVD (RIP), I was debating on doing the Paramount+ Showtime 7-day trial after the series finale to watch the final season. Based on the recaps and all your comments, I'm not sure it's even worth watching for free. I was already annoyed with all the stunt casting, incessant pop culture references, and nonsensical storylines in season 6, and it sounds like they have doubled down. Sigh.

Super duper late to the Season 6 party, but I have to say this may be the episode that pushes me squarely in the hate watch column. I'm surprised I saw as much of the episode as I did for all the times I rolled my eyes. Granted, I don't know all the ins and outs of awarding an Olympic Games to a city, but I know this ain't it. A 2032 bid storyline would have been much more plausible. Chuck Rhoads, Man of the People...gimme a break. Kate, it's okay to tell him he's full of shit, you know you want to. The only redeeming storyline was the budding bromance between Scooter and Wags. I've invested so much time in this show that I have to see it through, but it's gonna be tough.

For now anyway. Richard and Angela met a tragic end, but his body wasn't found. Which means there's a possibility he could turn up like a bad penny midway through season 4 or something. Please showrunners, don't do it.

The positives of this episode: The Wheatleys will never darken our screens again. Other than that, I got nothin'

I don't know if it was because of the Olympics layoff, but this episode was flat. Twenty minutes in I turned to the Warriors-Trailblazers game and followed the live tweets of the rest of episode. I tried to give Wheatley 2.0 a chance, but this story is running on fumes. Thinking about ducking out of the rest of this arc.

Watching mid-January. Amused that the boys bullying Joseph are named Ben and Callum. Intersoap shoutouts are always fun.

In addition to NBC and Peacock, it's also on the NBC Sports app. They're carrying the OBS coverage with minimal commercials. The app is free, I think you just have to identify your TV provider when you activate the app.

I have to mute that ad whenever it comes on because the whistle freaks out my cat.

Random thoughts... Governor Garcia is an idiot. Jet and Malachi crack me up. I wonder if the whistling of "The Farmer in the Dell" was a low-key tribute to Michael K. Williams. "Keep working on that limp" 😆😆 That last scene made me roll my eyes so hard. It was over the top, even for this show.

Somebody I follow on Twitter came up with a backstory (based on the wheelchair tucked in the hallway) that the woman has dementia and her husband is now a stranger to her, but when the song plays that's the one moment in time between them that she still remembers. Now I can't unsee it that way. Merry Christmas 😭

But before all of that happens they are offered a big promotion/dream job, and are told to take the holidays to think it over.

Definitely not one of my favorite episodes thus far. I don't mind the Wheatleys so much, but all the family drama and Bensler...sigh. And the kicker was Eli's storyline being wrapped up in a nice little Christmas bow halfway through the episode. So it was like what was the point? The only highlight for me was the reveal about Angela. I always thought she was the brains of the operation, so I can't wait to watch the havoc she causes. And I see the next episode is yet another crossover with SVU. Please make it stop.

I finally got to these episodes this week. The one liners and retorts, oh my goodness. I think somebody in the writers room must have watched the original version of "The Women" for inspiration. Janine was always one of my faves, so I am looking forward to this.

Thanks for the heads up. Just added it to my wishlist.

Bingo. Folks saw the previews and let their imaginations run wild. Anything short of them ending up in bed together was gonna be a big letdown. After that scene, much of the Twitterverse was livid, feeling like they had been played.

I must admit I was quite amused with Organized Crime Twitter having a collective meltdown when the SS Bensler hit an iceberg. The storyline, action, and plot twists are making this an enjoyable series. All that Elliot/Olivia stuff grinds the show to a halt. No more crossovers, please and thank you.

Season 5 is my all-time favorite. On the "Law" side was the dream team of Logan, Briscoe, and Van Buren. I'm also an unabashed McCoy-Kincaid shipper, so I liked seeing how their relationship progressed. I really appreciated that the show wasn't in your face about it, and it was a matter of catching subtle clues here and there. And the cases were interesting as well.

It wasn't live on the app that was on Roku. It was folded into the main NBC coverage. YMMV.

It's good to see I'm not the only one who isn't thrilled with WE's shuffle. L&O was my Sunday go-to. I guess there's the SVU and Criminal Minds marathons to fall back on, but even then it depends on which seasons are airing because the later seasons for both are meh.
