Good Queen Jane

2/5 with 1 *. I’m off to Wichita for the US Figure Skating Championships so I will be late in reporting my scores next week. As always, I will wave at you from the stands if you are watching the competition.

0/5. Obviously I need a Third Chance.

3/5 with 1*. i knew Thursday’s FJ was moons of a planet but I thought the planet was Saturn, not Jupiter. Those Roman gods!

3/5 with no *. Saturday Night Fever came easily after a month of commercials of John Travolta recreating his walk as Santa.

Jimmy et al are psychologists, not psychiatrists. No medical degrees. Tia’s death happened two years ago. Immediately afterwards Louis was consumed with guilt and self loathing. As stated above, he didn’t think he deserved happiness so he broke up with his fiancée. He then served his prison sentence of 10 months and started to rebuild his life. He started to believe he could be happy again with friends and then his past actions came up again and destroyed that. Dashed hope can become despair so quickly. I’m glad for both Louis and Jimmy that Jimmy could reach out to him in time. Next season should be really interesting.

2/5 with 1*. I was happy to get the law question. RICO is one of my favorite named laws even though I didn’t know it was deliberately named that. So cannolis for everyone!

Jimmy didn’t break down because of Alice. Jimmy broke down because he never really dealt with the death of his wife. He covered it up with women and alcohol at first and then by “jimmying” his patients. But, as Paul said, that wouldn’t be enough until Jimmy finally admitted he wasn’t okay. The final scene brought me to tears. I never thought I would say that about Jason Segel.

3/5 with 1 *. I would have been excommunicated from my family if I missed Friday’s FJ as “Thanks for all the fish” is our standard farewell to each other.

That’s the second in a month. I think the writers are pandering to us. Or making up for Women Writers.

1/5, no *. My cold is gone and so is my high scoring. I knew Friday’s FJ was the Addams Family but for some reason I thought the husband’s name was Mortimer instead of Gomez. Gotta stop making Granny’s cold medicine recipe.

Ilia doing all six quads plus his raspberry and a backflip was amazing! No wonder he laid on the ice after it was over. The US won GP gold in Senior Women, Men, and Dance and Junior Men. Worlds in Boston should be amazing. I really liked the French Free Dance. They never slowed down. It reminded me of the Duchesnays (which shows how old I am!)

4/5 with 1*. Grandma’s cough remedy is still working although, as a retired lawyer, I’m ashamed to admit that my one miss was the Supreme Court FJ. Perhaps I added too much bourbon that day.

I can’t make up my mind about whether casting Brett Goldstein as Louis is good or not. It’s easy to forgive Roy Fucking Kent where Louis really hasn’t earned it yet. On the other hand, the casting of Brett does make it easier to see Louis not as a villain but someone who made a mistake. Regardless, my heart broke at Louis’ face when he promised to stay away from Alice and Brian.

Dance teams tend to cluster with the same coaches. It’s only a matter of time before the younger teams feel neglected and go elsewhere. I predict Michigan Ice Dance Academy will be the hot training center after the next Olympics.

Yay, Amber, Gold at Cup of China! This means one US entry in all four disciplines at GP Finals.
