possibilities

Jason's girlfriend wasn't in this episode, either,w as she? First time in a while.

Hmmn. I thought Sharon wouuld be able to get a lot more from the company after all that info was uncovered. But I don't know how she would be able to get Manny out of prison. Why would the company have any leverage for that? And are they setting up a three way competition for leadershio, betw Bode, Jake, and Manny, now? Eve seems to be happy running 3 Rock, so at least that doesn't make it a 4 way competition. Auntie Micky: sad for you. And you can't really expect people to change, sadly enough. But I thought you could legally grow in CA now? It's not like he was cooking meth.

I watched The Good Place and Nobody Wants This, and I don't remember Jackie Tohn from either show! But I liked her on CJ! and thought she played well (not so much in the game, but I mean socially) with Margaret and Kamau.

I think he is doing what he wants to do. He's not doing more because nobody asks him to. They established that in an earlier episode, when he did a bunch of chores and was asked why, if he's so capable of doing them, he never did them before, and he said "because no one asked me to". His mother apparently enjoys infantilizing him. I'm not saying a lack of ambition is a great thing, but then again he doesn't seem unhappy, and I bet a lot of people would "retire and pursue hobbies" if they had the means. I actually find him to be one of the more likable characters on the show. Not because he's loafing off this parents, but because he's not always complaining and he's generally easy to be around. Everybody else is either irritable or stressed most of the time. If I was his parent, I would expect him to get a job (we saw he can do that because he did it briefly in another episode). But just from a viewing perspective, I find him enjoyable. He is so *reasonable* all the time.

I think this is not the kind of show based on a major on-going story arc. It's more like the old style of sitcom with each episode being more or less a "vignette". There is SOME development of character or story, but mostly each episode is a moment in time and a slice of life.

I know that this show, and most if not all tv, plays fast and loose with legal issues, but I'm thinking about what happens when Matty's fake identity is discovered-- does it endanger the verdicts in the cases where she was used in court? Obviously, it would be a huge scandal that Jacobson-Moore let this slip by them, and Olympia is already in hot water for all her "do gooder" cases, so I am thinking they won't want to just out her without a plan to cover their asses. But I don't know what they could possibly do, either. Matty can keep her ruse going for only so long. If she leaves, the show ends, so they also can't just fire her anyway. And if they bury the evidence, that's going to be a lot like them burying evidence in the Wellbrexa case, right? "We were protecting our clients". This has become extremely morally murky. I like the idea that Olympia would understand why Matty is outraged and upset, and would also want to punish whoever hid the evidence. Or, it could turn out that Belvin is just wrong about what happened. If the former, maybe Olympia could forgive her and they come up with a scheme that is actually not so insane, but I don't know what that would be. And if the latter (that there was no hiding of evidence and Belvin is just wrong), that is kind of an anticlimax.

I had one year where a bunch of people remembered and a bunch of other people forgot. And the people who remembered were not really the people who I thought liked or loved me the most, at all. And vice versa-- the ones who forgot didn't seem like people who were genuinely less invested. It still hurt my feelings, but it did help me to let go of the whole birthday thing to a large extent. Still, I felt for Hen. I also liked the gift the COTW gave Hen, though his timing was terrible.

Elsbeth misses Kaya but it doesn't seem like Kaya missses Elsbeth. That is sad. I liked Elsbeth telling her kid that his issues with his boyfriend were not about her. I like stuff. I have a lot of stuff. I don't carry all of it with me, though. I don't think we knew before that Det Edwards is in a throuple. I like that they are giving her some characterization, and it's not just "uptight detective who finds Elsbeth annoying".

That's an interesting idea. WE didn't see the body. Usually on TV that means it's a fake out and not a real death. However, they all acted like THEY saw the body-- and it was the most convincing acting I've ever seen out of Scott Caan, so I assumed it was actually that they killed her off.

Marion trying to tell Will he's not a bad person is one thing. Suggesting he just, essentially, forget about it and go to the movies, is beyond not reading the room. After she was traumatized, he didn't say: But you're safe now! Let's go to the movies!

I think they were trying to show that Angie's new boyfriend is a lot llike WIll, just happier and not in law enforcement. It's less pressure for her, but still comfortable and familiar and she has a type. She does love Will, she just can't live up to his moral standards. And I thinK Will is shutting Betty out because he thinks he doesn't deserve to feel better, doesn't want to be comforted or distracted from his grief. It's unbearable, though. Shutting Betty out won't bring back the 14 year old kid any more than therapy with the idiot therapist will. And it hurts Betty! Stop hurting Betty!!

I'm pretty sure a tanker full of cocaine would weigh a lot less than one full of oil. But, like you said, maybe a compartment somewhere. Or just being carried on the bodies of the drivers. It's not like she searched their physical selves. If they were worried about trafficking marijuana, the 2025 audience would laugh. So it has to be something other than that.

I really hope that she gives the speech somewhere else. I for sure will watch it if she does.

I guess Marion wasn't a "big bad" like some feared at the beginning of the season, but she certainly was absolutely terrible at understanding what Will was going through. It seemed kind of callous, actually. She had a total breakdown after her trauma, but I guess she doesn't make the connection that her being attacked for no reason is like the kid dying for no reason, and that Will empathizes where she doesn't? It's actually pretty disturbing that she doesn't get it.

I have no idea what tv hosts vs stand ups make, but she does sell out large venues on the regular. I wanted the Kathy Bates basketball.
