  1. i missed parts of this episode. Did they show Emma actually stealing the prescription pad?
  2. No wonder Mike didn't recognize the key, since Harvard Law School isn't a member school of the Order of the Coif (which is the law school's world version of Phi Beta Kappa.) If Louis was awarded the Order of the Coif, then he didn't go to Harvard. Really, writers, you couldn't do a little research on such a key point? (pun not intended, especially since I believe that the Order of the Coif doesn't present a key to members anyway) Proof once more that the Suits Universe is not our Universe
  3. Did I miss something? Divya goes to see Vivianna, is not impressed, threatens her, and leaves convinced Vivianna is using Jeremiah. She should have been happy when Jeremiah tells her that Vivianne won't see him anymore. But instead she tells Jeremiah what she did and apologizes profusely. When did Divya decide Vivianna was on the side of the angels after all?
  4. It’s nice to report that a new Pair is forming for the U.S. – Gretchen Donlan and Nathan Bartholomay. Donlan formerly skated with Andrew Speroff, but he retired from competition and is skating Pairs with his girlfriend Kylie Duarte on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. Bartholomay previously skated with Felicia Zhang, who retired from competition to attend college full-time. The Pair is newly formed and has begun training with Jim Peterson in Florida. Also, it’s official that Valentina Marchei will partner up with Ondrej Hotarek to skate Pairs for Italy. The new Italian pair will train in Montreal with Bruno Marcotte and also in Milan with Franca Bianconi.
  5. Penny's friendship with all the brainiacs will give her enough familiarity with the scientific aspects of the job to at least sound knowledgeable. And it would be great if she actually found she was interested in and learned more about those aspects. But the job really is more about being attractive and personable enough to get in to talk with the doctors. This really is the perfect job for Penny.
  6. I missed the beginning. Did they explain how there's a strip club in the Hamptons?
  7. It's always fun when they get the audience involved.The guys who were storming the castle were great.Note to self: don't sit in the first row.
  8. Madeline Aaron (Max’s little sister) and Max Settlage are the reigning U.S. Junior Pairs champions. They had already indicated that they planned to compete at the Senior level at Nationals this year. They have received Zhang and Bartholomay's spot at Skate Canada.
  9. The U.S. Pair Team of Zhang and Bartholomay have announced the end of their partnership. They are the reigning U.S. silver medalists in Pairs, finished 12th at the Olympics, and finished 14th at 2014 Worlds. Nathan Bartholomay has expressed interest in finding a new partner while Felicia Zhang has said she is retiring from skating so that she can attend the University of South Florida on a full-time basis. The talk last spring was the Zhang and Bartholomay had planned to stay together only through the Olympics, but after achieving decent placements at the Olympics and Worlds, were considering continuing on with their partnership. Apparently, Zhang has decided to move on from the sport. So another U.S. Pair bites the dust. The field is going to be pretty thin at Nationals in January. At this stage, pretty much any team who wants to do Senior Pairs is probably going to get an invitation to compete.
  10. Evan doesn't have to build a hospital (although I think the show is heading there; He just has to build an imaging center. There are a lot of free-standing places where you can have MRIs, ultrasounds, etc. done without being part of a hospital. You just need the start-up money for the machines and the New Jersey waste management guy is sufficiently grateful if Boris doesn't want to make the investment.
  11. The only good thing about killing Topher would be that I could finally stop watching this show. Things I learned in this episode: There is only one trauma hospital in the ten counties surrounding San Antonio.Texas isn't as populated as I thought. The hospital's financial problems are so bad that there is no supoort staff to transport patients to testing/operating rooms so doctors have to do it. The way to learn how to satisfy your girlfriend sexually is to have a lap dance performed on you. SWAT teams in Texas shoot first before attempting negotiations with a hostage taker. Doctors in Afghanistan participate in armed search patrols. Maybe it would be better if Topher dies.
  12. Russian Men’s skater Evgeny Plushenko told a news conference that he is planning to compete at the 2018 Olympics in Korea. Plushenko told reporters that “Everything that was broken has been fixed, and there is nothing left to break. I will try to participate in my 5th Olympic Games and give a dignified performance.” If he does compete in the 2018 Olympics, Plushenko would be 35 years old at the time. Some people just don’t know when to call it quits.
  13. I thought that Matthew just said Ruth and Alex immediately said yes. There was then the edited section where I guess the judges pointed out that the response wasn't in the form of a question, but since Alex had already given away the right response and that in the first round Alex would have told him to put it as a question, TPTB gave him the points but had Alex admonish him as his warning. But that's only speculation on my part.
  14. And hit by a drunk driver who the staff must try to save.
  15. The Spanish Rhythm is for the 2014-2015 season. The Waltz is for next season, 2015-2016. The ISU announces the Short Dance rhythms a year in advance. In other news, U.S. Pairs team Denney and Coughlin have announced they are going to sit out the 2014-15 season in order to give Caydee Denney a chance to rehab her lingering right ankle injury. Denney injured her ankle in practice on March 19 as the team was preparing for 2014 Worlds. Denney and Coughlin indicated they will skate in some shows but don’t feel they can return to the competitive level that they need to be at in time for the 2014-15 season. They won’t be doing any throws or jumps in their shows, which are the elements that are causing problems for Denney’s ankle. So another U.S. Pair bites the dust, at least for this season. Let’s hope all the other U.S. Pairs stay healthy because the ranks are getting pretty thin.
  16. So Dr. Specialist Snowflake is not only the World's Greatest Gonzo Surgeon, but he also has mad skilz as an OB/GYN. it's amazing what you run into on the battlefields of Afganistan! That said, the birth scene in the hospital was sweet enough to warm my cold, stone heart. Topher (or rather Ken Leung) is the best thing about this show. Did anyone else hear the Bells Of Doom for Rick, Drew's boyfriend? I predict that he will die in a tragic accident once he leaves Afganistan. Is Landry named for Tom Landry, the famous Dallas Cowboys coach?
  17. Aren't we a clever bunch at PTV? Two Jeopardy Champions among the posters! And thank you Tigershark and theajw. "Knowing" someone on the show made it so much more fun (and nerve wracking) to watch. Yay, Jennifer!
  18. The ISU has announced more technical changes for the upcoming season. ALL SKATERS Each Skater/Pair Couple must take the starting position of each segment of the competition (Short Program/Short Dance, Free Skate/Free Dance) at least 30 SECONDS AFTER THEY ARE CALLED TO THE START. (Previously, skaters had 1 minute to take their position, but the ISU has cut the time in half). The first competitor(s) in a warm-up group will be granted an extra time of 30 seconds after called to the start. The timing procedure will start after the 30 seconds extra time period. After 30 seconds, if the skater(s) have not yet taken the starting position, the Referee shall apply a deduction of 1 point from the final score. If after 60 seconds, the skater(s) have not yet taken the starting position, he/she/they will be considered as withdrawn.The Referee will time the duration needed to take the starting position and decide on subsequent deduction or withdrawal. So no more long conversations with your coach at the boards, "talking to your skates" or taking pre-skate victory laps around the ice after your name is called. When they call your name, go to center ice and take your position. SINGLE SKATERS - Any double jump (including the double axel) cannot be included more than twice in total in a Free Program (as a solo jump or as part of a combination/sequence). What this does is eliminate a skater doing, for example, a triple lutz-double toe and then later in the program, a triple flip-double toe-double toe. Also, if a skater messes up and doubles a toe, then they better think on their feet and not do two more toes in the three-jump combination if they want to get points for the combination. This is in line with the ISU's new philosophy of "Do it right or get penalized". - Of all the triple and quad jumps, only 2 can be executed twice. If at least one of these jumps is done in a combination or sequence, both are jumps are evaluated in a regular way. If both executions are solo jumps, the second of these solo jumps will receive 70% of its original base value. So if a skater does two solo quad toes, the second quad toe will receive 70% of its original base value, unless the second quad toe is done in combination. This also eliminates skaters doing their best jumps multiple times. Basically, the ISU is saying, "Ok, we know you can do that jump; now move on and do something else". - The choreographic sequence may now include a jump with a maximum of two revolutions and may be done anytime during the program (previously the choreographic sequence had to be done after the step sequence so the judges can tell the difference). The choreographic sequence will be identified when it is concluded with the preparation for the next element, if it is not the last element of the program. In other words, if a skater wants to do the choreographic sequence early in their Free Skate, they have to end it by moving on to another element immediately. No skating around for a bit as a skater can do after the step sequence. The choreographers will have to think about this one a bit. DANCE PATTERN DANCES FOR 2015-16: SENIOR - Ravensburger Waltz; JUNIOR - Starlight Waltz For the 2014-15 season: - For the Senior Short Dance, the required Spanish Rhythm may not include the Spanish Tango (a small mercy for those of us who are not looking forward to having to sit through two hours of Spanish music for the Short Dance). - Long lifts are now define as combination lifts which include two rotational lifts in different directions, two curve lifts on two different curves (forming a serpentine pattern) or two different types of short lifts. The duration of the lift should not exceed 12 seconds. - Combination lifts are evaluated as one unit by adding the base value of the two first executed type of short lifts and then applying the GOE. The GOE of the Combination Lift is equal to the sum of the numerical values of the highest value (Level) of the corresponding GOE of these two first executed types of short lifts multiplied by a factor of two. And they wonder why no wonder understands how the scoring is done in Dance...
  19. I so want a copy of Kelp! I wonder if it's on iTunes? Actually I want the video. It was absolutely perfect.
  20. Yay, Andrea! Well played! I was worried because the FJ seemed to be an instaget for all three of you, but you rocked the wagering. Must be nice to be able to add some real money to your trillion dollar bills.
  21. In an interview which has been printed in several Canadian newspapers, Olympic silver medalist and Canadian Men’s Champion Patrick Chan says he will not compete in the upcoming Grand Prix season. He plans to wait until fall to decide if he will compete in the 2015 Canadian and World Championships. “I’m going to take a bit of a break from the Grand Prix season,” Chan said. “I’ve done it so many years, I think I deserve a bit of a break from it. Just take that opportunity to catch up with friends that I haven’t had a chance to see, and play some hockey or go do things that I’ve always wanted to do and just haven’t had the chance.” If he decides to return for the Canadian and World Championships, Chan estimates that he’d need about two months to get back to top form. That means he would need to make a decision by no later than mid-November in order to be ready to compete at the Canadian Nationals, which take place Jan. 17-25, 2015.
  22. Retroactive good luck, theajw. How will we know you? I look forward to hearing about your and Tigershark's behind the scene scoops.
  23. So wild hogs can bite off hands, swallow them whole, and keep them intact in their stomach for several hours without digesting them and the hand can be recovered with only a little incision in the belly of the hog and reattached to the human without any problem . I did not know that. The things you learn by watching television!
  24. Two new Pairs have announced partnership, pending the approval of the Federations involved. Pairs skaters Marissa Castelli of the U.S. and Mervin Tran of Canada have announced they plan to form a partnership, pending Skate Canada’s approval to release Tran from their Federation so he can skate for the U.S. Skate Canada is expected to decide on Tran’s release at their annual meeting at the end of June.Tran had previously skated for Japan and won the bronze medal at the 2011-12 Worlds with then partner Narumi Takahashi. If Skate Canada does approve the release, Tran and Castelli, both of whom are 23, would still have to sit out next year, because Tran competed for Canada internationally last season with Natasha Purich. Under ISU rules, skaters have to sit out a year if they change Federations.Tran and Castelli plan to split their training between Boston – with coach Bobby Martin – and Montreal, which will be their primary training site, with coach Bruno Marcotte. Castelli previously skated with Simon Shnapir, who is now skating with Dee Dee Leng. Canadian Pairs skater Dylan Moscovith plans to partner up with Russian skater Lubov Iliushechkina, pending approval for her release from the Russian Skating Federation.Iliuschechkina, 22, won the 2009 World Junior Pairs championship with Russian skater Nodari Maisuradze. The pair split, however, March, 2012. Iliushechkina had hoped to skate for France last season but a proposed partnership fell through.Moscovitch, 29, previously skated with Kirsten Moore-Towers, who ended their partnership and is now planning to skate with Michael Marinaro.Assuming that both Iliuschechkina’s release from the Russian Federation and her Canadian visa application are approved, Iliuschechkina and Moscovitch will be able to skate for Canada in the upcoming season, since she did not compete internationally in 2013-14. The Pair plan to train in Toronto with coach Lee Barkell and in Hamilton with coach Bryce Davison. Take good notes on all these team changes. There will be a quiz in September. On the positive side, U.S. Pairs team Scimeca and Knierim have said that they are healthy, happy together (both on and off the ice) and are committed to competing for the next four years, with the goal of competing at the 2018 Olympics in Korea. No word yet from U.S. Pairs Denney and Coughlin on whether they plan to compete next season.
  25. I've noticed that Wayne asks the person who is the focus of the song to give them a hook to base the song on. Since Robbie said he wanted to perform with One Direction, the song was about giving him the opportunity to do that. I do love how later skits kept bringing up the counting to five. A good running gag is priceless. And I want to see more of Fighting Alisha.
