Whimsy

That’s very logical and makes sense, but I don’t think they portrayed that very clearly onscreen.

I saw the look, but like @gesundheit says below, I think she was trying to either convey to shoot Lydia (I thought her look was of pure glee when she pointed the gun that way) or even herself. She did say "it wasn't my fault" but I'm thinking now, after seeing that flashback, that she meant it wasn't her fault he was taken away from his mother. I thought this as well. That the mother turns to drugs or gets in a car accident or something to cause his death. They never explicitly said he died, if I am remembering correctly. I thought Aunt Lydia just said "it wasn't my fault" and then everyone just assumed he died. I think this as well, otherwise why would he even call her "aunt Lydia"? I'm not necessarily saying the writers are flip-flopping, but there are racist people even in this diverse world. That Commander and wife could just be racist assholes. I, like many of you, have lost all interest or care or anything in June. This episode, though, I flat out hate her. There is nothing good about her. For her to be so smug and Godfather-like in her bullying of OfMatthew and then not caring at all when Janine was getting beat to shit again. I'm just 100% done with her.

Anyone see Kirstie Alley on To Tell the Truth? She was showing her true, disgusting, colors. I can’t even figure out why she was on there. Anna Camp,has a new show coming up, Joel McHale was making the rounds as the new host of Card Sharks, Ron Funches- not sure exactly but he’s still acting so he seemed like a logical choice. KA- no clue.

Especially since she didn’t seem like she was joking AT ALL. My jaw literally dropped. She is just a horrible human being and that solidified my opinion of her. Love Ron and Joel. Anna camp was too giggly.

Reminded me of his character in Popeye 😂

I guess we were lucky. We had over 400 employees, had to enter each person's weekly time individually using faxed timesheets. These employees worked 24/7 with lots of overtime, etc. We did work for the state, but I really don't think that had anything to do with it. We just were able to get it done during normal work hours, I guess. I was there for 16 years, but now work elsewhere doing different type of work. But, despite all of that, I wasn't really thinking her work hours as suspicious or anything. I was just surprised by the discussion of coming in early and staying late to do payroll. I've noticed that all of the shows I watch (mostly just Dateline & 20/20) are all cases I've seen before with very little new information. I can't believe that there has been no new interesting cases of murder! I would like to see something new.

I worked in HR and did payroll with four other people. We NEVER worked early, late or weekends.

My daughter and I teared up, too. At first I thought I’d be annoyed with any actor portraying him (we weren’t spoiled, but my daughter kept saying throughout that he’d still be alive so we totally guessed where Jack was going) but as soon as he opened the door I was so happy. It makes total sense he’d still be alive since a crazed “fan” killed him. Without the fame, there’d be no one who wanted to kill him.

It has been repeatedly stated that there is not to be rehashing of past seasons in the episode threads. There is a pinned mod note at the top of the page for TAR and there have been several mod notes. Posts have been removed and warnings have been issued

I feel the same way. I avoided Dateline for years because of KM. then, when I did start to watch, I’d delete episodes that featured him. Now I jus grit my teeth and bare it. I thought this odd too. Even though there were a few explanations, still seems weird to me. If she just had come in later this all would’ve been avoided 😢

I just finished To Live and Die in LA. It's a true crime podcast. Very interesting. I listened to the whole thing in 2 days because I found it so interesting.

I was oddly invested in him and I am SO disappointed. This was my immediate thought. This literally makes no sense what-so-ever. Unless they now have to change to a profit-earning business... which still makes no sense. My thoughts exactly as I was watching this unfold. I am so bitterly disappointed which is kind of funny considering, until now, I didn't even feel that attached to this show at all. I watched it, but it was nowhere near my favorite show. So, to feel this frustrated is kind of amusing to me. But, mostly, I think i'm done.

Two quick things: 1. If your post did not include ANY response to THIS episode but instead talked about past seasons/racers, it's been removed. 2. The topic of who is the best racer is interesting, but doesn't belong here. I moved @Fukui San thread and the responses into a more general topic here. Further discussion of who is the best will be moved.

MASSIVE eyeroll from Eliza that I thought her eyeballs were going to pop out of her head. And this. They wanted all the attention on them, but it's negative attention. So irritating. I was rooting for either C&C or T&K. I was fine with either of them. Tyler didn't bother me as much as other people and they were strong racers. I'm happy with the 1-2 finishes by them.

Lololol. Yes.
