That interview wiuth the author iof the book about MLMs was good-- I thought they asked her real questions and seemed to really want to get the info out. I am not sure people watching don't already know, but maybe I'm wrong. Either way, I thought it was nice to see an interview that was designed to be conrete and informative and not just schtick and empty chitchat.
And that Moment of Zen? Whoa.
I enjoyed the interview until Costa repeated the question Desi just asked.
Getting that the correspondents are an act, and recognizing that I disliked Jordan's character on the show until he started doing field pieces (the 12yo in me giggles at "Fingers the Pulse"), putting Costa behind the desk for his turn has done nothing toward changing my mind about him.
If they're still looking for a permanent host, and they name Costa, I'll be resorting to watching bits on that site that I know best for music videos.
@Lantern7 I miss Roy, too.

I'm surprised she's lucid enough to know if it's been a month since she fell down there. Maybe she's somehow sobered up a little from whatever her ordeal has been. I wouldn't think she could count to 30 without getting distracted.
Exactly what I was thinking.
At the same time, didn't she confess to someone when she and Thor started dating that some of her forgetfulness was an act? She pretended with him to have forgotten some things so that they could experience "first times" again?
Or did I just walk through Flower?

Exactly the same for me, both times I saw it. I had to think about it a bit afterward. I'm not sure the ending is conclusive, and when I put myself in her shoes I just feel...melancholy? We all make choices in our lives that result in closing off the other path permanently, but for some reason I really feel it in this movie.
I love movies that let you watch the characters experience life and then you get to make your own decision. I agree with you that the ending doesn't feel conclusive, and doubt it was meant to be. It felt right.
I saw Greta Lee on the Graham Norton Show and couldn't wait to see this movie. Fast forward a month, and it was an option on the flight I was taking! It's not my preferred way to watch a movie, but since we don't get out to the theater as often as we used to, I'll take it.

Does anyone else think that Hanna's new roomie is not what she appears to be?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was muttering, "Don't do it, Hana, don't offer... oh, hell," at the end.

Good roles for the entire team in this episode. The killer was off his rocker but I felt a bit sorry for him at the end, he just went crazy after his wife’s death and the AI bot made things worse. It was a compelling story, this show has good cases.
Agreed about the cases on MW. I think this edition has the most interesting cases. I keep wanting to like International, but none of the characters work for me since Jaeger left.

I started to well up a bit at that too. That was the sole good thing about the episode. That and seeing and hearing the original handset.
Not to mention seeing Addison smack the side of the handset to get it to work.
I don't know. This thing with Ben and Addison leaping together could (will probably) end up being a total shitshow. I doubt it will last long, which is my way of saying that if it lasts more than three episodes, I won't be staying.

I'm definitely going to have to take notes on the finale; this episode just went in one ear and out the other for me.
That said, I agree with everyone above that there's no way Magic stays fired.

I actually think it is hilarious how bad Ben is at finding cover stories for things he shouldn't know. The looks the other two kept giving him when he mentioned finishing school.
I started laughing at all the "finishing school" comments to the point that I started re-reading the line, but changed it to "band camp."
As much as I frequently get annoyed by the stories at HQ, I love me some James Frain, especially as a deep grey character.
That said, I did love watching Ian tear up while Ben used them as a positive example for Dean. Their "you really listened to me" expression made me realize that I need to do a better job of dusting the house.

Was it just me, or did the rest of you get suspicious of Elena after the first time plans went south on bringing in Kevin?
And why would Kevin keep pouring diamonds out of the bear after Ben and Hannah found him in the basement? Did the director think we didn't see them the first time?

If the Hannah plot doesn't lead somewhere important then its a waste of a good storyline.
If I remember correctly (and its been awhile) the original series did a storyline with Sam leaping into the life of the same person over the time frame of her life and at one point falling in love with her and later finding in the following leap he got her pregnant.
I would find it kinda stupid hilarious if Addison's new boyfriend is Ben's son (I know stupid storyline but it fits with stupid tv logic that appeals to my stupid tv logic brain).
@KaveDweller mentioned two of the episodes you were thinking of. That storyline was the marvelous "Trilogy." Sam was the father in part one, fiance (which, yeah, a little weird) in part two, and finally the attorney.

You are my PEOPLE!
As much as I actually do like this show, there was far too much that annoyed about this episode, and you have each pointed out all of them (Ben losing and not replacing the cap; anachronisms galore; the "Plastics" which, has now become my favorite way to think of the other girls; the ever-popular Red Delicious apples, and especially looking so good in time of drought), however, the one that nobody has mentioned yet is the constant use of "Goody."
It wasn't her name, writers! "Goody," as everyone here knows, was short for "Good wife," or "Mrs." If they wanted to use it, Ben and the townspeople should have been referring to "Goody Sarah," or whomever.

Plus I was distracted by Joe Rantz's hair. It was so obvious it was dyed/bleached, and assumed it was because the real person had blond hair. But it just looked wrong, for a poor man during the depression to be coloring his hair.
I also noticed he had pierced ears, and his girlfriend in the movie had two piercings in an ear. I guess that's the down side of seeing movies on the big screen.
Oh, please. I was thinking about how Joe had a crewcut and there would never have been women in the engineering courses. About how McMillan was the tallest man on the team, and Chuck Day's father was a dentist (not broke). Oh, and how Roger wasn't the cigarette smoker on the team (that was Day).
I recently watched the American Experience documentary on that website that is known for videos, The Boys of '36, and highly recommend it.

I've been waiting for this movie since I first read the book several years ago. TBH, I have read the book far too frequently to be unbiased, so I'm still working past my quibbles.
Understanding that it's hard to tell such a detailed story in two hours, so cuts must be made, some of them could have been better done. Instead of having our eight young men simply start crew for the '36 season, do some exposition at the beginning (or a statement of some sort with the opening credits), because it would have been such a nice touch at the end to point out that in four years of competitive rowing, Joe, Roger, and Shorty never lost a race.
Also, I strongly disagree with the actress who played Joyce's opinion that all the actors looked "exactly" like their RL counterparts.
That said, they did a good job with it. The scenes on the water were marvelously shot. I was pleased to learn that early screenings were for actual rowers who said that they "got it."
We took my HS-age nephew to see it, and he's been recommending it to all his friends. :)

I've been waiting since I first read the book five years ago for the Boys in the Boat movie. I'll likely see it opening day with my mother (who told me about the book) and my sister, since that's our tradition.
I know there will be changes, and I hope they won't be too disappointing.

Grimm is now showing on COMET TV starting with S1 Ep 1. I so miss this show, even with all the Black Claw, & BT/Juliette storylines from S2 on etc. - she should’ve been a recurring character after S1.
I've been catching back up with the series via Comet. What an annoying channel. Why do they insist on making commercial cuts in places other than where they originally were? I get really tired of them cutting a speech (or even sentence!) to go to commercial.
Comet somewhat amuses when they blur the blood, yet air their "call the sexxxy girls of" commercials at the same time.
Just me?
Re-watching the show, I'm reminded of the reality of driving in Portland. They got around way too quickly, especially for the plotpoints that took them out to the "Mt. Hood area," Oxbow Park, or Vancouver.
Also, why did Nick think it was a good idea for anyone to be looking through those books while eating?
Still fun to watch again.

Wait just a minute. Bitchy mom whined in the post-windshield meeting with the principal that when she was in high school, "We didn't even have girls' sports?" How old is she???
This story was set in 2012 and they're in California. Gia is 17, so born in 1995. If we give the parents college and being older than 22 when their kids were born, Bitchy mom would be around my age (graduated HS in the mid-80s), and my small-town HS certainly had girls' sports. Our Girls' Basketball team regularly made it to State.
That was a sloppy line.

"@MEET TROUBLE, @THE CRAZED SPRUCE, @HANGED MAN (even though you didn't play much back then), can you blame me for trying to keep the spirit of seff and emjay and apple and Queen and brat#3 alive?"
Tbh, @MarkHB, even though it happened in a regular game, when I think of LOLMafia, I think of 1track DLing herself. And the old "rules" of: All things fruit lead to apple; all things tree lead to Maple/Spruce, unless they lead to apple; all things Canadian lead to Maple/Spruce, unless they didn't. I'm sure I'm missing something.

If anyone needs game closure-
I was Stassi "Birthday Girl" Schroeder on the Villain team with the supremely lovely @deaja aka Krazy Kristen Doute and reigning Calvinball champion @MarkHB aka Katie "Bubba" Maloney.
We tried to kill @SilverStormm Night 1 and @saoirse died instead. (Anyone know why?) And I blackmailed @The Crazed Spruce which is why he couldn't post Day 2.
Night 2 we tried to kill @meet trouble but @MarkHB (our protector) died instead. (Anyone know why?) And I blackmailed @JTMacc99 which is why he couldn't post Day 3 (you can talk now, JT.)
Yeah, Night two was me and my... massive Lisa Vanderpump powers of deflection.

WTAF? When did this get started? I've been cruising through, checking for PMs or notifications and haven't seen anything until today when suddenly people are mentioning me. I must be important!
Since clearly none of you are me, none of you are worthy as breathing the same air or, more importantly, drinking the same wine, as me.
Therefore:
3 to DL BizBuzz (SilverStormm, aquarian1, Deadpool) 4 to buzz off
1 to DL deaja (BizBuzz) 6 to level things out
4 to DL The Crazed Spruce (JTMacc99, Drogo, Deaja, ohjoy) 3 to put down the Pinot Grigio and make a difference
2 to DL Aquarian1 (MarkHB, meet trouble) because.
Honestly, this is LOLMafia. Y'all are overthinking this!

I will never understand just WTF is wrong with the word "moist." It's a perfectly good word! Sure it gets overused in cheesy romance novels, but when applied to my flourless chocolate cake, it is PERFECT!

My sister and niece watch way too many of these shows. I know them only through the gifs, so I can be in for that part!
FBI: Most Wanted - General Discussion
in FBI: Most Wanted
Clearly the new story will be the air marshal. Right?
