  1. He's from Florida? Yup, Bad Place. Ha! This show was delightful. I hope it comes back.
  2. How does she...perform basic hygienic maintenance? If you know what I mean.
  3. Agreed re Hyun. She's always stuck in my head as the worst ever. It was infuriating hearing her say she'd do anything for the little boy -- what about the little girl that was in your care? Bitch. I do wonder about her background though -- someone did a number on her, no doubt. In the same ep (on right now and AE) is the severe anorexic Kaila, and her family seems to be fine (though who really knows), and she's more messed up than Gina! And what triggered her is being called fat in junior high? Perhaps more than meets the eye, there.
  4. What always amazes me about outdoor hoarders in climates like Vermont -- isn't everything ruined after the first winter? I just imagine these hoards covered by a foot of snow, year after year. I mean I KNOW even if the thing is ruined that doesn't make it ruined in the mind of the hoarder, but don't things just rust to pieces or disintegrate?
  5. "I'm just a girl...towering over a boy." I larfed. Just loved it. More episodes please!
  6. Right?? There were also "chicken flavored" chunks. Chunks! Flavored! WHAT ARE THEY MADE OF.
  7. Was that the severely disturbed woman in Edmonds Washington? With the hoarded urine? That was definitely the worst I ever saw. Or maybe the violent family? Well, I'll miss Hoarders, but I wish all the best to all the folks who worked on it, especially Matt. Hope he has a great, happy life with his family. And same wish to all the other kind, compassionate folks we've seen over the years.
  8. This was kind of my take also. I didn't have that bad an impression of the guy, but people on this board certainly do. Maybe I'm not picking up on an out of control controlling vibe as well as others.
  9. I think it's so we, the viewers, wonder every time -- is this going to be the time they all come alive and attack the humans?
  10. I think he is. He said something like, but I can't be one.... He knows everything about their limitations and nature, and until Ford put the whammy on him, was even expressing some shock at realizing he was a host, in a very human way. I have to go back and re-watch the episode with the conversation between Bernard and Ford in Ford's office, in light of this new info.
  11. OR...Real Bernard got the Teresa treatment himself, back in the timeline where he's talking to Dolores.
  12. I read nothing about this ep in advance and I confess I kind of snoozed for a little bit (haven't been sleeping great these last couple days), so maybe I missed something. But this episode showed that Aaron had got into the Nazi necromancer smashing business, along with some group or other? which is news? Maybe they're just planting the seed for more of that later this year. I'm now hoping Supernatural continues for a good long time. Like four years. Please? I'm not sure I can withstand news of the show wrapping up.
  13. Two Fords -- android and human. The android is currently inhabited by Arnold. OK, that's the craziest theory I can come up with. But it WOULD explain why he's not sentimental and yet very sentimental.... Anyway, all I could think about when Charlotte showed up was -- really? Guests who pay $40K to visit spend time at what amounts to a Hyatt pool bar? Glad there was more to it!
  14. I wonder if the woman moving to Thousand Oaks has considered taking those children back into her womb? For safety, of course.
  15. Hee! I always find myself saying, Ninja Custodian...the name of a college band from the 80s.
  16. Also, it would not surprise me to learn, Happy Pills.
  17. How weird that was just in the LAT yesterday. Huh! I clearly do not read very closely....
  18. Oh geez. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-bieber-lookalike-toby-sheldon-overdose-20160725-snap-story.html
  19. "When he asked me what I wanted I said, blowfish." WHYYYYYYYYYYYY???????
  20. The nipple tissue can contain cancer cells. Nipples come off with the rest of the breast. Not sure if that was always the case, but it seems to be the way it's done these days.
  21. OMG those naaaaaaaaaaails.... Also, "Giner and Alicier" -- this west coaster is never going to "get" the tri-state area culture and language.
  22. Agreed -- I was kind of taken aback by the "after" nose, but I tuned in almost at the end so I didn't really see the "before". Glad she's happy anyway! The former Miss Egypt (or whatever) -- that the best nose "after" I've ever seen on this show.
  23. When I was a teenager, my mom and I were talking about the lamentable state of popular music, and she expressed a hope that it would "go back" to the kind of music she liked. Now, this was probably the early 80s, so -- you have a point there, Mom, but no -- music continues to progress in a way that pleases the new generation and that (bonus!) the oldes will hate. I mostly love and listen to music from 20+ years ago, I don't like hip hop/rap/EDM. People that like today's music, when they get to be this stinkin' old, will dislike whatever's popular and wonder why people can't just make music like that Kanye fellow? And on and on and on.... Similarly I wish the world would go back to the way it was 20 years ago, when people could actually go grocery shopping, or do a day's work, or go to lunch or dinner and NOT BE ON THEIR PHONE WITH OTHER PEOPLE THE WHOLE TIME! But some things are one-way and the days of having someone's undivided attention, short of slapping that thing out of their hands, are probably over. I accept. But regarding this show, and the "open plan". I desperately hope that this is a fad and someday there will be ROOMS again...but I wonder, when every homeowner on all these shows, especially this one, say they want a "nice open" living space. JFC, why??!?! I'm sure it's delightful when you have a bunch of family over for the holiday, or all your sophisticated guests in, and it's like an olive oil commercial what with the white wine in crystal glasses and beautiful roasted vegetables and everyone laughing and smiling with their perfect teeth gathered around your enormous island! But what about when it's a random rainy Thursday, and it's just you and your sullen teenagers fighting with each other and whining like it's their job, and you can't get away from them because you're trying to watch TV, or make dinner? You banish them to their rooms, so what was the point of "open living"? Or you're the sullen teenager and you're trying to do homework, or practice the piano, but your brother is watching NASCAR with his buddies? And what about that cloud of greasy smoke from the roasting duck fat, that spreads throughout the entire living area and gets all over your upholstered cream couch? Or when your significant other spends all his or her time in the "study" or the "man cave" or your bedroom because s/he's tired of the kids fighting too? The only time that "open space" works is during those occasional family gatherings, or the odd olive oil commercial. Plus it looks like you've stuck a bunch of furniture into an elementary school gym with a fancy kitchen at one end. Everyone can like EDM if they want, or an open living plan, but why is so there so little variability? Does everyone truly want it? (Don't bother reminding me I am old, I KNOW IT.) I'm not saying let's go back to poky little Victorian rooms, but why oh why is this the only style? And shiplap. Oh, shiplap. You mean, that crappy looking worm-eaten stuff that was on the walls of the chicken coop and the root cellar of the house I grew up in? The first couple of times I saw this show it was kind of nostalgic and, I thought, how funny that this house has shiplap. But the show that was just on, it was like Chip and Joanna, and both the homeowners, were somehow equating shiplap to beautiful lath-and-plaster from the 1940s, or solid oak, or solid gold I don't even know what. People are THAT EXCITED about finding shiplap under drywall? This isn't exactly solid Brazilian cherrywood flooring hiding under shag carpet. I am not a fan of shiplap. Or EDM. Or open living space. (And I haaaaaate open office, but that's an old person rant for another day.) To summarize, this show aggravates. I need to stop watching it. But I do really think they do a better job than a lot of these programs illustrating true costs and timelines. But SHIPLAP.
  24. I liked maybe opening up into a wider hunter/MOL world, I liked that no one died (to come back before the first commercial next year), I liked that I did not see Mary's return coming at all. It's a trick to come back from apocalypses and Chod and the MoC, to less universe-destroying stories, which I think they actually managed to set up for next year. Didn't like the weird pacing and disjointedness of the handful of eps leading up to the end. I always wonder what impact the "will they or won't they" re renewing for another season, has on the production. Is Mary going to be able to integrate back into her earthly life, while John is still in heaven? Hrm. Also Castiel back to full angel power? Argh, another year of finding ways to de-power him. Finally, Rowena's wardrobe and whole...thing. At some point it just struck me as funny she walks around in public like that.
  25. Co-sign your entire comment. Truly wanting to be an example for her young daughters would be to model accepting and loving a body which is imperfect, but still healthy and natural, and beautiful. She got dealt a crummy hand a couple of times, and wanting perfect, symmetrical, D cups? You go girl! But those kids don't need to be taught that having them, or physical perfection generally, is some kind of requirement in order to be a happy and successful person.
