Ok, I just watched this thing all the way through in the last couple of days. The decor and the hotels all look very 60's. The magazines in the rack in this episode the same. One magazine had on its cover the moon landing which happened in 1969. The old fashioned on the wall telephones. The turntables playing the records. Yet, everyone has a smart phone which is very out of place for that time period. Then this men's group that has almost every man in town a member. Really??? I don't know what Ryan Murphy is playing at but none of this is taking place in reality unless it is an alternate timeline that developed smart phones in the 60's. All I can say is WTF!

I loved this episode! Yes, it was silly that the plane stopped right in front of Bobby, but I didn't mind that. So many moments that I loved but the two that are staying with me right now is Athena getting Jem to help land the plane at the end, and the guy holding the girl's dog as it was landing.

I am 67 and my twin grandsons are in their early 20's. I still can't believe they are that old already!

I don't remember if it was the beginning of this episode or the last one. A little boy was being bullied and he ran off. A lady came out of bushes with blood coming out of her eyes, he screamed and then they showed the toxic cloud. Was that the reporter?

I wanted to watch this show for Zachary Quinto. I love him in everything I see him in, and it is no different in this! The first time I saw him was on Heroes. Thoughts on the episode. The flashback to his mother telling him to keep things secret and not talk about certain things were a bit triggering. IOW, she was saying to not embarrass her. I am autistic and behaved in ways as a child that perplexed people and embarrassed my mother. Whenever people pointed it out to her, or I behaved in a way in public that was "wrong", she would get angry with me and scold me why I wouldn't act "normal." Of course I was confused as I had no idea what I was doing wrong, and no one would enlighten me. Back then autistic children were thought to be non-verbal and I could talk [most of the time], so that was not on anyone's radar back then. Teachers and others just knew I was different. Some thought I was simple minded. My mother told everyone that the only thing wrong with me was being "shy". I came to hate that word because I am anything but. My best friend once told me "You are quiet but you do and say the boldest things!" Yeah, cause I am not timid! Moving on, he is face blind! I am also to a degree. I don't recognize people unless I know them really well, and even then I can be thrown by people who look similar or see them in a different context. One example is a girl I worked with years ago at McDonalds. I saw her almost everyday at work. One day I saw her on the street and had no idea who she was. She had to tell me she was Debby from work before I recognized her. I only ever saw her in uniform so seeing her in regular clothes threw me off. I could not tell who she was by her face at all. As for people who look similar, on TV I can mistake one actor for another if they have similar hair color, body type, etc. I find I mostly recognize people by voice. On a personal level there are many times I would see someone who looked like my husband. Same height, same bushy white hair, similar body build. I would think for sure it was him but then notice that he is a wearing a shirt I know my husband does not own or something else would give me pause. So I would stand back and take a much closer look. My husband has a distinctive nose and that is how I would know it was not him! If I meet someone new I would not recognize them if I saw then a second time. Maybe not even after a third or fourth time! Ok, back to the episode! I like it so far and how he figured out how to make the mother recognize her children. I am happy he told the interns he is face blind. And of course his mother is the big boss. Eeek.

True! And thinking about it, if my older son has more children [unlikely] and my youngest son would have a child [also unlikely and tried in the past but not trying now] I also would have very young grandchildren!

I knew there had to be a specific reason she wanted to be in that particular law firm [and it wasn't money], but didn't know what it was. So the twist at the end was great! However, being a grandmother who is 67 years old, seeing someone her age with such a young grandson surprised me. My twin grandsons are in their early 20's!

I knew Jon was gone as soon as he said his tribe is the greatest and they are going to win every challenge since they came back to win the first one. I call this the Ironic Quote Survivor has done a lot the last few seasons. Win every challenge? Means they lose the next one. Feeling positive about his tribe mates? Bye Bye.

Yes, I think the body count was way higher. Thing is, I wasn't sad when Edith was killed. I liked her in the beginning. When I thought she was burned alive I was sad. Then when I saw she was alive I was happy. Then she turned into a religious power mad fanatic who was willing to kill people herself. Before then she seemed a humble spiritual person. She turned into what she preached against and paid the price. Not sad to see her go.

I loved the ending also and the whole season! I am sad that our heroes are gone, but they got to lead normal lives for years. I never liked Luther in the other seasons but loved him in this one! He was a hoot and much more with it intellectually. The other seasons he came across as too much of a dumbass and that annoyed me. They all got to say the important things to each other at the end. Standing together hand and hand waiting for the Cleanse to overtake them was a good way to go. I am going to rewatch season one now!

Someone wondered if Kristen's father could be the next big villain. If they do kill Leland, maybe they have that in mind if the show gets picked up?

To be clear about my feelings about Otto, I have no sympathy for the man. He rightly reaped what he sowed. The look on his face when he realized all his machinations led to this was hilarious. What he said to Aegon was true and that dressing down was fun to watch! Still, as others have said, Criston Cole is now at the top of the people I want to see die list.

I have always disliked Otto and his machinations, but he was such a bad ass in this episode! I loved the way he dressed down Aegon and tried to talk sense to him. Then when Aegon removed him as Hand and he got this "We are so screwed" look on his face! Can someone just kill Criston Cole already??!! Also Aemond didn't look too thin to me.

I finished watching the episode, and that was so tense! I always spoil myself by reading here first as I hate being blindsided, so even though I knew that Andy would not inject Laura, he came SO CLOSE to doing it I still felt the tension! That was a very well done scene. Yes, I hope Andy brings a burner phone or can't have a cell phone to the place he is going to. I also hope he survives, I adore him!

Haven't finished the episode yet, but the baby in this episode is a lot smaller than the baby in the last one. The baby puking on Leland is so funny!
