But his quote isn't funny.

I don't know why the "I know he's watching" line was funny. It was a statement of fact, given he tweeted about the show before. Anyone notice the accents Cena did? Decent Alabama southern accent vs. other southern accents, a Chicago accent and a so-so Boston accent. Impressed he went for them. Katate Kid and Alabama football player were odd... they were broad, untopical, obvious subjects, and when the judge made a comment that clearly showed they were in on it,it was less funny than if they had continued to play as if nothing was amiss. If the show had picked U. North Carolina, with its 18 years of fake classes for athletes and a current NCAA investigation, it would at least have had a relevant hook. The rest was meh. Liked the Wendy's line.

I think Arrow (the show and the character) was diminished by the crossover, which felt silly at times and took away from the more realistic Arrow tone. It was like watching Batman do line dancing. I think DC has a challenge on its hands with how to mesh shows that are so different in their approach. I've watched The Flash, I quit Legends after 3-4 eps and i have watched Supergirl, tho it really changed when it moved to CW. They're all different. Otherwise, I am a latecomer to Arrow and have started season 3 or 4 (the one where Oliver tries to have a normal life with Felicity), so I had no idea who Wild Dog and those dudes in the lab were. For a minute I thought they had time traveled, and they were younger versions of the Legends (that one dude talked like Captain Cold). But I guess not? And "Dominators" is a stupid, stupid name, and sounds ridiculous anytime someone says it. Call them the Wraith or something, not an XFL team name.

I finally figured out what bothers me so much about this show, and what has almost caused me to quit watching: Everyone is so sulky and butt hurt. Whether it is Wally and his powers, or Cisco and his issues with Barry, or Diggle and his son instead of a daughter, or Barry and his endless moping about changing the timeline, GET OVER IT. You're superheroes. You do crazy things. Mistakes happen. Adjust. Adapt. If you can't find a solution, at least quit whining. Good grief.

I've always liked Kevin. He's only saying what some of us are thinking. I can't deal with another Robert or Lori (one of each is good, no more). Kevin is the Simon Cowell of Shark Tank.

Exactly. We are BB customers (two labs), and we kept wondering why no one asked if there were similar companies already out there.

It was beautifully done but I was disappointed. Not a single surprise. I don't get Felix. What was his motivation? And I don't know why all humans have to die for robots to begin anew. I'm a human. Many of us are good. Why shouldo I root for the robots? Also, called new season,new land. In episode 2.

I'm getting really tired of these characters, including normally intelligent Joe, deciding to take stupid actions, and then when they don't work out, kicking themselves for doing it. If you're gonna do it, own it. That goes for you, too, Flash.

I also wish they would drop the "clean, modern, new" (usually the husband) vs. the "older, charm, character" (usually the wife) back and forth.

I'm not sure I'm rooting for the hosts. Surely there are decent humans out there. If hosts take over, will they kill everyone? I'll stick with my belief that the show's message is we all, hosts and guests, are turds. Did we just learn that humans wiped out life on the planet? Or was that just overly dramatic language from Ford describing human history and the creation of Westworld?

Sorry, way late and catching up. No, I think the question was due to the repair of the guy Maeve slashed, which looked like a robot repair, not a human repair.

Anyone else think Bert had suddenly died when the guys saw the plaque outside Bert's office and said, "Oh, no!" For a second I thought, wow, this got dark quickly. Also, I believe I am safely in the minority when I say that, while I find Penny generally attractive, I don't find her to be anything special and her hair length doesn't change that either way.

But did he? I can't recall when the show picked up their romance, but did we see Paul seeing Lindsay pre-marriage like this? My recollection is that Lindsay was more normal when the series began, though she was always selfish. And she spent significant effort hiding her actions from Paul, even when she stabbed him ("you backed into my knife"). I don't think the question was whether an abortion was the right choice for Lindsay. It clearly was, no one watching this show can think she would have made a good mother (and neither did the anti-abortion woman outside the clinic). The issue was that she did it without ever talking with or telling Paul, before or after, until she did it as an attack in front of the woman who was interested in hiring Lindsay. I think that's right, but I also think the fact it was right means they didn't really have much of a relationship. Sometimes you need to accept help from your partner, sometimes you give it. And honestly, I think if their genders would have been reversed, people would be negative toward Edgar for quitting and leaving while Dorothy was experiencing success.

Finally had to fast forward through Alex, Kara and gay. Not sure why it required all the angst. I would think Kara would be fine with it. You're gay, great. What difference does it make? Between last week with Mon El banging someone on the copier, and all the hesitation this week over saying "I'm gay," I'm not watching this with my 11yo anymore. It's a shame because it used to be a good show to talk about the strengths of women. It treated being gay as something to hide. It may well be an accurate portrayal of coming out, but it's a superhero show, not 30something. BTW, wasn't force kissing Maggie in the bar not cool? If a guy did that, I can't imagine it would be ignored.

The show's dialogue suggested Gretchen had somehow come a long way (especially the scene with her therapist). I didn't see it. She doesn't seemed changed at all, aside from the fact that she said yes when Jimmy proposed, and the weirdness at the end when she was suddenly channeling Lindsay with the "we're a family" stuff (huh?). This assumption about Gretchen just confused me. Jimmy, OTOH, did move forward, propelled by his dad's death. However, he overshot his actual progress when he proposed. He wasn't ready for that. I'm not even sure he sees marriage as anything worthwhile, period. So the whole scene at the end was just a WTF for me, for both characters. Which is a shame, because the first 30+ minutes were excellent, I thought. Yay for Paul for finally wising up, and he was absolutely right about Lindsay's abortion (without telling him) being far beyond the pale. He should be angry. Still, I liked that when Lindsay was thrilled with $2k a month, he gently tried to ask her if she understood the reality of that. Then he went too far, and the snicker of the lawyer was a reminder that he needs to stay within his lines. BTW, when Lindsay and her sister and husband closed ranks, Paul's reaction was a nice moment ... he was seeing in action a family, as dysfunctional as it was, that he had hoped to be part of and continue when he married Lindsay. He is better off moving on, but still sad to see what he wanted turning its back on him. Edgar and Dorothy split up for reasons that seemed weak, but OK. They must not have had much of a relationship to begin with, if she bails because Edgar becomes "successful" (jury still out there). How about working as a team, propelling Edgar's success, and perhaps finding an opportunity for Dorothy? And I can't remember what the names of Lindsay's sister and husband are, but all of their behaviors were spot on except his inability to diaper annoyed me. Cliche, and one that I never struggled with as a dad. The constant texted baby photos, and Gretchen and Jimmy's reactions, were spot on.

I don't have the energy to post about this show anymore. Lizzie, zzzzzzzzz. Her dad, zzzzzzzzzz. Agnes, zzzzzzzzzzz. Let's see some threats to society and Red's genius, plus his awkward Tom/FBI partnership, used to stop them, please. THAT was a decent show. Create any larger mythology you want. Just. Move. On.

I didn't think it made fun of Clinton's supporters. They showed a very real reaction given the upset election win, and the cast played it to perfection. I mean, they could have been in my living room on election night and seen the same things! Meanwhile, I thought Rock and Chappelle played the role of two wiser, smarter people who recognize that while the US has a long history of "things will be better!" believed by one or the other side, for certain groups it doesn't make any difference. They were making a broad, thoughtful statement about the US, not just one political group. Overall, I thought it was a pretty even handed and mature way to look at what was an emotional issue for some. A big contrast to the opener. Now that I think about it, all the skits seemed to be slow starters. I spent the first minute trying to figure out the angle, and then, like with the breastfeeding skit, or the press conference skit, it picked up a bit (often when someone broke). Maybe the whole cast was down, and that further influenced the night.

YMMV, of course. At first I thought Kate's performance would lead to some comedy, given, SNL is a comedy sketch show. Maybe Alec would come out as Trump and join in, and we could have all the cast doing various impersonations and it becomes a statement on how, why there are many perspectives, we are all one nation. But as it became increasingly clear this was something else, I FF'd it. It delivered a message, but it wasn't funny, insightful or interesting. Unlike the election night skit, which felt very real and inclusive. That was fantastic. I was surprised the studio audience could hear it, because they definitely reacted. I played it back because it was so funny.

That's why I think the cold open didn't work, because it felt self-indulgent (unless you happen to agree with whatever that was, in which case I can understand that you wouldn't see it). The election night skit was much more applicable and representative to a wider audience. I wonder sometimes if everyone even got some of Chappelle's and Rock's comments in it. I really enjoy when Colin cracks up on WU. There is such a "I can't believe you just did that" feeling, vs., say, Seth whatever his name was who felt like he was just laughing for himself.

Didn't like the cold open as a cold open. The election night skit should have been first. Kate's performance would have worked better as a tribute to Cohen and not a political statement ... though why Cohen gets that treatment and not others who died, I don't know. Making it a political statesment continues the very differences the rest of the show railed against. Chappele was intelligent and interesting and sincere. Loved his commentary. The Negan skit was a yawner tho, a ripoff of Detective Head from In Living Color. WU was terrific. The rest was OK.Did Leslie spike the fake milk? She seemed to be up to something.

I like the realness of the show. I really disliked the closing song. Women bleed. Men die early. None of it is fair.

Like the Very Special Episodes on Gretchen's depression and Edgar's PTSD, the unbroken takes felt like someone had something to get out of their system. It added nothing to the narrative. Nor did whatever the hell that was with the three dudes who were working the wedding, and their drugs. OK, while Paul probably shouldn't have said anything to the prospective newbie employer about Lindsay being pregnant (from a purely ethical POV, actually he wasn't wrong given the job demanded so much travel), this in no shape or form compares even a tiny bit to his wife aborting their baby without telling him, before OR after.

I downloaded the BeSomebody app, and put in some "passions." What I got back for "experiences" looked like a bunch of highly questionable people decided to hawk themselves as experts on things, with no clear way for me to tell whether they were until it was too late. I mean, there wasn't a single "have lunch with Duran Duran"-type of "experience!" And the list of "experiences" just booked were largely booked by Kash. I don't care if she got a deal, and a "babe" hat that has accounted for $300,000 in sales, I will never be a customer of anyone who sells an actual item but says what makes them unique is "the experience." How about quality? The problem with fake flowers is that they can't capture the colorful beauty of real flowers without looking plastic. If you like that muted, Jo and Chip Gaines stuff, like what she gave Mark, maybe. But those colors always look depressing to me.

Great idea, but they missed the mark. Way too much time spent on gasp vs. ooooooooooo, when they should have run off and hit every other cliched phrase as well as the ridiculousness of examples like, "I grew up in a ___ style house, so I want one now." OK, so that's one "doesn't do well with change."

Thank you for voicing that, because it was what I struggled with even as I, too, an pro-choice. Paul is nuts for staying with Lindsay now. The casual way all of these characters deal with issues and choices that would be huge things for me is part of their appeal, but sometimes they go further than I am capable of going with them.
