    S07.E07: Faith

    in The Good Doctor

    I didn't read it as Shaun being bothered that his kid might be autistic. I just took it as him being very aware of the signs, and matter of factly noting it. Even if it's too early to be diagnosing, I can easily imagine him being sort of vigilant about it. He notices signs in patients, too, it's just something he picks up on. I get that because it's like people like me having "gaydar" and being hyper aware of signals people give about that, which straight people might not notice. It's not foolproof, but it's there.

    But I think his total lack of any autistic friends IS a sign he doesn't have pride or even interest, which I find strange. Everyone I know seeks out people with similar stuff to themselves; with or without pride, it's just useful to have people who get you without having to explain everything in exhaustive detail. NOT that folks with the same label are identical, but just that there are things others simply have no experience with in the areas where there's overap.

    S01.E07: Something Blue

    in Elsbeth

    The tape was driving me crazy! I kept wondering how they didn't notice the freaking tape when they pulled the body out of the water! 

    Is that fast dissolving tape real? I can't imagine any adhesive that would stick but be undetectable. Or maybe it works like coban (a kind of bandage)? But then I can't imagine it being dissolvable if also strong. 

    Anyway, if it's real, I want some. Just for curiosity, not crime.

    S03.E10: Isaac’s Wedding

    in Ghosts (US)

    I think they could have mined plenty from Nigel and Isaac together. How about Isaac having his sexual awakening with his husband? Somehow other shows manage to write both comedy and drama about married couples, but this show couldn't do it? 

    I also didn't understand how Patience was with Flower in the well but not there for the rescue. Did she want to stay in the dirt?

    S07.E06: There Goes The Groom

    in 9-1-1

    I was fine with the dress. It seemed to me like a pretty normal wedding dress, so if you like white lacy wedding dresses, it seemed like pretty standard stuff, though maybe showing more boob than usual. 

    I was really annoyed by Buck and Eddie getting shitfaced and trashing the room. Grow up, assholes! And who is paying for the damage? Better not leave Chim with that bill.

    I did think sootface was funny, though. I guess they needed some levity to end on.

    I didn't see the car theft coming. I had thought maybe Chim was in a car accident and the good samaritan was going to drive him to the hospital, clearly seeing he was in distress. 

    But then when I saw the shaking hand, he was obviously having a medical thing, even before the car.

    Jeopardy! Masters

    in Jeopardy!

    Does anyone know if the show likes to have triple stumpers? I've noticed more of them in the regular games lately, but thought it was because I didn't see many during the endless tournaments. But then there were some in Masters last night, which I didn't expect.

    Poaching a nanny is a heinous violation of the Girl Code - or is it the Mommy Code?

     

    Friendship code, I'm thinking. But even the mere acquaintance code. Decent human being code.

    S02.E07: Have You Never Been To A Wedding?

    in Will Trent

    I agree that Will and Angie have a dysfunctional relationship. I think he's also damaged and dysfunctional, though, too (Angie isn't the only problem). His attachment to her is over the top just like her ability to love is under-developed. I agree Cricket was a much better idea.

    I thought the "murder teen" killed in self-defense?

    And her "themselves" answer for the only people police are obliged to protect cracked me up.

    I loved that.

    I took a shine to Laura. If they decide to do more invitationals, 2nd chances, etc. I hope they bring her back.

    S02.E08: Alexi

    in Alert

    It's simultaneously terrible and also so realistic that they brought Maya back to show that there's no easy answer for her. It's such a TV thing to make it be all wrapped up and happy when IRL most kids in her situation do not get that kind of relief. One decent adult really can help, though, at least with some of the glimmer of hope and sympathetic relief angle. I hope someone sees this and takes Kemi for a model and uses it to help some kid they can't totally rescue.

    Likewise, with Alexei's story, even though they gave him more of a resolution, showcasing the domestic violence the way they did was something I respect. 

    But the coach not keeping his guns locked up? Stupid, irresponsible, terrible.

    S03.E09: The Travelling Agent

    in Ghosts (US)

    I fanwank it was a head injury-- she died from the effects of her head banging on the floor-- an internal head injury can be fatal but not look so bad on the outside. Or maybe the someone crushed her ribs and it punctured her lung or heart and that killed her. Again, not so bloody. Or she was knocked down, passed out, had a heart attack.

    So many ways to die!

    At least here in NJ, I was told that a lineman cannot get within either three or five feet of a 13.2kV primary without supervision present. E

    I'm all for safety, but why have a dozen workers and two bucket trucks dispatched to do nothing for hours on end? 

    The utility leaving entire neighborhoods without service for long periods of time, and not maintaining infrastructure so we have outages even when there is nothing happening with the weather, is a purely cost-saving measure. They don't keep enough staff and they don't do routine maintenance. But the shareholders are raking it in, so I guess that's fine.

    Anyway, I think resentment of the electric company in this episode is well-earned. They should write things so the complaints are based on the actual malfeasance, though. Say, sparking wires or damaged poles, or no staff to respond to emergencies, or whatever it is. This show is quite lazy, but the ratings are great so I'm shouting into a void.

    I liked the aspects related to 3 Rock's mission this week, and for me that overcomes any irritation about misrepresenting what the utilities do wrong, but I totally understand that if you are involved in that aspect of things IRL, it will irk that they fucked up the portrayal. 

    S07.E05: You Don't Know Me

    in 9-1-1

    My understanding is that the demo is based on who is influenced by advertising vs who is set in their ways and not really susceptible. Apparently, the research shows that people over a certain age are brand loyal, having already tried the options and decided what we like.

    I don't know how that explains the ads for medications and services that would typically only be of interest to elders, but perhaps those ads don't bring in as much money as ones that can be marketed to younger people.

    This is the second time Reenie's excuse for being there was that she had a personal connection to the case.

    I wonder whey they didn't just make the show about a duo and make her and Colter a couple from the start, so they can travel together and stop making excuses. They could still do the banter they appear to find cute and sexy, though I personally enjoy the episodes more when that's not happening.
