Good Queen Jane

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.

5/5 with 1 *. There must be something in the cold medicine I’ve been taking to give me a perfect score. Of course, I’ve been taking my sainted grandmother’s remedy, which is honey, lemon, and lots of bourbon. Good stuff!

The next new episode isn’t until March 6, 2025, so the show’s season and the real season will match up.

I know the situations in this show are not realistic, but I like these characters so much, it hurts my heart when something goes wrong for them. Jimmy was having such a great day and then he gets walloped by those closest to him.

We’ve obviously been failing to keep the social distance from each other in this thread. I’ve come down with the cold now too. The Moderators may put us in quarantine!

3/5 with 1*.

Paul and Jimmy in the canoe has brightened up my whole week. I would never have guessed that Harrison Ford could be so wickedly funny. Louis seemed very skilled at bringing out Alice’s emotions. I wonder if it will turn out that he was a therapist before the accident.

3/5. I’m going through pumpkin spice withdrawal as I transition to peppermint.

I think Yasuda is a goner. It’s been several years since one of the regulars has died. I thought Schmidt was going to go down in the helicopter a few weeks ago but I guess he gets the departure to greener pastures exit. The show loves to kill someone off after they have finally gotten to a good place so Yasuda will be joining George, Lexie, Derek, and several others on Meredith’s beach. I hope her sister survives.

So if Grace is now president, is Billie out? And will Kate be recalled as Ambassador? Or will Kate keep her position to buy her silence? Kate better up her game because right now both Grace and Margaret have been out maneuvering her. The sight of all the Secret Service agents ( I assume) running out to protect the new President was a great visual.

Amber had a shaky free program (hand down on the triple Axel and a fall) but had enough of a lead from the short to win her first gold medal in a Grand Prix.

4/5. I was so excited going into Friday thinking I was going to get a perfect score for the week, but the clue made me think it was a movie about some sort of natural disaster and nothing came to mind that worked with the date.
