Yawn, runaway games are boring. Hoping for strong competitors tomorrow. As for beards, I like some but not others. I don't like Bryce's. IMO, some men look better with beards. I dislike is the "several days' scruff" look: either grow a beard or don't.

NPR "All Things Considered" interview: With 'The Mirror and the Light,' Mark Rylance closes the door on Wolf Hall ETA: spoilers for what happened to Thomas Cromwell.

Did anyone suggest contacting the boy who got the girl pregnant, and at least telling him what he did? Or did the parents not want anyone -- even him -- to know the girl's situation?

I wish the characters would address each other by name more often. There are so many characters that it's hard to keep track of them.

Week 29: 3/5 + 2 *.

Good for John, to suggest that people be aware of the symptoms of pancreatic cancer. Here's the Mayo Clinic's page: Pancreatic Cancer Causes and Symptoms

The Characters of Wolf Hall: The Mirror and The Light

Agreed. That's why I asked if someone is doing medical reviews.

Shinwell Johnson was in the Doyle canon, as a minor character in The Adventure of the Illustrious Client.

Our PBS station aired "Lucy Worsley Investigates: Bloody Mary" just before this episode, so I was well briefed on Mary.

'Jeopardy!' "Triple Stumpers" That Even The GOATs Didn't Know

That was an imposter! In YS we saw that Meemaw had the potential to become the bitter nasty person we saw in BBT. I don't want to watch the whole process though.

Week 28: 3/5, no *.

"All generalizations are false."

I'm still wondering why, when YS already had Mary, Missy, and Meemaw, the writers decided to name Georgie's girlfriend Mandy. Maybe another example of "we think more about this show than the writers do."

Wondering if Chris would be able to lift another ghost up into the air.

Sheldon wouldn't have lasted even that long; he would have insisted that Mandy not tell him any secrets. Of the three siblings, apparently Missy got 99% of the secret-keeping ability.

4/5. Bringing a sweet potato pie.

Same here. I find those generic workplace sitcoms boring, so this show is becoming more boring. I read a book and glance at the screen occasionally to see if there are animals. It's becoming less worth having it on at all.

Jack's buzzer thumb: guessing he's right handed. Many lefties could handle a buzzer with either hand. When I was taking my last piano lesson before a big recital, my teacher got a call and told the caller, "It had better be your left leg." It was; the other student arrived at the recital with their left leg in a cast and played fine.

That was Jeremy's first mistake. His second was not backing out of the offer when Rafael told him to deliver the bag. Backing out would have put Jeremy in danger (from Rafael and his people) but likely less danger than delivering the bag.

CeCe Moore: Telling Stories with DNA: Case Studies from PBS' Finding Your Roots Description of how genetic genealogy works, especially how she investigated one of Prof. Gates's ancestral lines for an upcoming episode.

I don't pay as much attention to this as to some other shows, but recently I dreamed I started a new job and my desk had a book "How to Speak Dutch." So maybe it is sinking in more than I thought.

As I suggested earlier, Connor might be able to work at a radio station or recording studio in a behind-the-scenes position.

Is anyone writing reviews of the medical aspects of this show? Someone did for "House" so I'm hoping someone will for "Watson."
