Jackie issued a thinly veiled threat to the priest a while back. The wife was volunteering at the school but the priest said they had to let her go because of insurance liability, but she knew the deal.

I wash my plastics before recycling but not super thorough. I actually bring my recyclables to a separate location. I try to use less plastics, but you've got stuff like biodegradable garbage bags that break apart constantly.

How was the guy was cheating at chess?

Johnson was using it as a reference to his acronym for 'Deliver, Unite, Defeat' and then added 'Energize' because otherwise it would spell out DUD. So I think he was trying to make a lame joke not that it's used colloquially in the UK.

I didn't like the last segment, though I agree with Sam's point. Duckworth had a lot to say and the format didn't really let her get more deeply into the issues she was talking about.

I absolutely love that they're continuing Hayley working at SubHub. I watch on my tablet with the tbs app. Vehicle is the perfect song. I was dying when Hayley yelled 'smoke em if ya got em'.

It looked ok for Columbo in the 70s, so I can give it a pass. If Ward had it for a while, he likely could have learned to compensate for the lack of perception. I got nothing on the reporter. I guess it's a public building so she can just go in there. I've walked into City Hall where I live unabated. It looks like she's everywhere though, which seems a little much. That could have been the case back then. It's a pre 9/11 world we're seeing. As we learned later, she actually started the fight, so I think it's a subtext of her having some ptsd of seeing (presumably) this Kinicki getting killed. I think she's going to be key in unraveling the entire case. Jackie still doesn't know that the CI is the brother. That shoe is going to have to drop at some point. The mother was furious about her going to see the counselor (as she said) to the husband that she doesn't know what she's going to say. So they must know she saw something. The brother was a Vietnam vet with some serious problems, as he told Jackie when he was drunk. Jackie threatening to throw him in jail, where he likely wasn't going to survive, is a real threat. It's a parallel with Ward threatening to throw the guy's mother into jail. They both threatened suspects with questionable records. What are they going to do? File a complaint? They still have credible evidence on the mother/brother to put them away. As for asking questions after counsel, which are inadmissible - so what? If they learn something new, they can find another way to prove it. Notice how they had the guy (with the mother) walk by the window where hook was? Ward was seeing if he recognized him. The point is Jackie/Ward are skirting the margins. The suspense is whether this is going to catch up with them to ruin the case or they get away with some seriously questionable tactics. They spent too much time on this episode with the domestic drama, which I'm not really interested in, so I hope the plot moves better next week.

I could see Hop getting shoved into the Upside Down and finding a portal out which brings him into Russia. I'd rather not the Upside Down be used as a transport system that everyone is using though because it takes away from the value that he's one of the only few people to get through the Upside Down and survive.

I only knew the guest from the tv show about Washington's spy ring during the revolutionary war, where he was not the best spy. Cool he's getting a lot of success though.

So does he know she's Jackie's daughter? I can't tell. It would make sense he's doing it for revenge. I do like Jackie pulling an end around on Hook with the brother to get him over a barrel, which was paralleled nice with Ward pulling the same thing with the guy's mother. I can't say I'm interested in Jenny or the Asian babymama. Good for her getting an A+ though. As much as Jackie is awful, she's not the best mother either. I'm not interested in the reporter either especially when the other lady investigator nailed her on sleeping with Jackie. Yeah, great credibility. She did a decent enough job getting Jackie's name from her source, and since, all she's doing is just pestering people. Granted, they don't have to tell her off all the time, and I think the other investigator was trying to be fair when he told her that the case was actually sensitive, but you need to find another strategy. Maybe investigate and find clues? Jackie's babymama is basically shouting to the rooftops that she has his love child. And I mean, really, the 'state senator' said that and you're still here? Yes, because there's freedom of the press, and likely he didn't talk to you about anything anyway. So what? I wasn't too interested in this one because it only solved the AK as a clue. They don't know the trail for the gun. The AK they found didn't match the bullet. Even the deposition with Hook was kind of flat. Though I did like "lawyer. lawyer" like Mike did on Break Bad/Saul. I'm haven't been liking Ward's wife and even less now. Her smugness is going to backfire on her. She's just got it all figured out. Just telling all those other Coalition members what they should be doing. They're probably not going to back her because she's exhausting them. I think she's going to get herself into some hot water. The reverend may have been threatening Ward, but I don't think he was lying about having those connections. Not for nothing (which they should be saying on the show much much more), but Decourcy wasn't "defending her" or whatever she claimed she was. The reverend barged into his office, threatened him, and physically assaulted him. Though I assume she's smart enough to figure out how he got the shiner. Literally turning the other cheek and saying 'you want another shot?' was total gold. The reverend looked terrified. The only common thread I see here is the gun pathway. If they unravel who/how both groups are getting the guns. It would be kind of an awesome twist if somehow the reverend was involved. Like, perpetuating the violence so people can see him as the savior of the community. Unless their next robbery somehow intersects with them.

If I didn't already have Hulu, I probably wouldn't be getting it just for this show, and I really like it. It was my favorite of the last season. But, like I want to watch the new Picard show, but I'm just not getting another streaming service. I don't how this is going to equilibrate because it's ridiculous to expect consumers to get 5 or 6 services per month. No one has that kind of time.

I don't like Archer and Lana bickering *all* the time, so I liked them both going nuts over the space ocelots. Are they going to get the thirty million credits for blowing up the pirates? That's a big score. I did get the best laugh out of the cut from Ray asking "do you see a blinking green light?"

They could spend the next season trying to stop the Russians. They don't need the mind flayer to come back.

The cut screen of the chant and the olympic race was brilliant.

I thought Marcus was fine. He got in some good one liners and I believed him as a Ranger. He could actually fight. I didn't like him pining for Ivanova. He could have just asked her out. Marcus' best line - Did we just win? Ivanova - Shhhhhh! Don't jinx it!

iirc 21 Jump Street was one of the more diverse casts on tv at the time.

That's what Decourcy was saying - their movement is important. Rely on other leaders and freeze him out. I think the show missed a narrative beat here by not showing us having her listen to a whole bunch of other women in addition to the one we saw. I think the show was implying that's what happened but it wasn't entirely clear.

The only reason I could see him not dying is that he's one of the very few people who has survived through the upside down, so if the Russians were able to get to him and he's in the cell, I can see he would be a valuable intelligence source for them based on the tag scene. That also fits with the heavy 80s theme of the series though.

I watched Ellen. There wasn't anything I didn't know before, but it was a good conversion. He had a little bit of anger to her, which you don't see. I liked the story about how they wouldn't let her in to her own medal ceremony when though she was there for the party the week before. She may have thought of herself as weak, but she is very much not.

Natasha Lyonne was at her most Natasha Lyonne which is the best version of Natasha Lyonne for me. This was time well spent. I thought Horse was controlling the loops or something because they both interacted with him on separate occasions, and he was leading the parade at the end where they merged. I actually thought that killing the professor would break the cycle since he was essentially a common point on the night of their first deaths. I'm confused what would be in two more seasons, but if they had it planned out already, I can roll with it. Maybe they'll be controlling loops for other people. I don't see doing the same thing just with different characters would work.

That seems the most direct resolution to the plot to me. Which means Jackie will find out via his CI (learning who the brother is) and somehow he gets her in front of the grand jury for DeCourcy. Or, more to Jackie's style, he threatens the dad with doing that to get him in front of the grand jury to spill and unravel the whole thing.

Although given Jackie quoted Macbeth, I'm guessing not.

That's what I got. Plus they arrested two of them, so they can lean on them to give up who they sold the guns to by threatening them with a felony or something. Decourcy's wife is becoming insufferable. I don't know if we're supposed to assume that enough time had passed for it to sink in or maybe she heard a ton of accusers in addition to the singer, but she's becoming really condescending. It almost seemed like she was acting all better then the others because she was able to handle it or something. Decourcy was right to talk about trust to her. If he didn't rip the reverend in two for the house n-word he isn't going to cause a scene here, especially being a public figure working a high profile case. Plus, you know what? "Know how to talk to my mother" please. His observation of marginalizing was correct. Oh, wait. Are they trying to do some parallel to Anita Hill? I'm not a fan of the reporter either. I assume this plays off. I'm rooting for Jackie to get away with it all though. It's not like he doesn't know what he's doing. He's been right so far. I did love him trolling the cop as he died. Does Jackie not know the CI's brother is the ringleader of the heists? Or at least not know who the brother is?

I enjoyed this for the most part. If I didn't know this was based on actual history, I'd say this is completely ridiculous. I had a tough time keeping track of what the actual year was for the show present because it wasn't clear what war Pike actually fought in to me. I didn't really get how she knew Big Momma at first either. I didn't have a problem with 16 y/o Fauna being so adult. It seemed like she had to grow up fast. Jimmy Lee was harsh to me and 'Pat' already had a job as a teen. I mean, it's a typical TNT miniseries. We were making almost the same comments about Into The West in 2005.

I didn't watch much Seinfeld because I was in college at the time and we all lived with a lot of people so there wasn't too much TV time. I read a great article after the show ended though that kind of explained that the network hated the show because the main characters weren't supposed to be likeable and that the jokes weren't typical sitcom 'open setup punchline' which is why they forced in a laugh track. The ending within that context is exactly then what should have happened.
