The alternative is being at home with too many people and a baby which cries some of the time. He chose what was the lesser of two evils to him. I took it as the fear of being partially undressed outside where someone might see him trumped his fear of birds. At least they appear to have been caged in the coop.

I imaging she hanged herself with it. Puritans suck so I'm fine with it.

I consider her more like Crash or Stephanie or the basement ghosts, so no, she shouldn't be in scenes with the other house ghosts every episode. When Hetty started to panic in the flashback, I wondered if that too much morphine wasn't taken on purpose but I never considered the phone cord until she pulled it out of the wall. Poor Hetty. And yes, Rebecca Wisocky absolutely deserves an Emmy for making us care so much about a character who could easily be one-note and awful in the hands of a lesser performer.

You're welcome to dislike it all you want. Personally I'm not sure how I feel about it. But it's not cheating if the rules allow it and they have since the very first season. They can't enforce that because it's not against the rules. Now, the question of making that a rule for future races is a different matter, and yes, they should make that a rule.

There were 3 stations and each station had a team at it. Once Danny & Angie finished their meat puzzle, that freed up a station, as intended by the task designer. Nothing wrong with what Danny and the others did. It's always been allowed as long as everyone involved are the team members doing the roadblock.

Yes as long as it's one of the team members who is also doing the roadblock.

FJ was an instaget for me too. The year gave me a president in a wheelchair and that gave me a charity focused on paralysis. I like the song but don't know the lyrics well enough for that to have helped me. They are when my BFF and I play because we're not sticklers for all the rules. I prefer her humility, which I don't believe is phony at all, to other contestants' arrogance. Where the original Jesus was Ian Gillan of Deep Purple and Mary Magdalen was Yvonne Elliman. Best cast for JCS ever.

I never thought Abbott Elementary was all that good to begin with, which is why I stopped watching partway through season 1. I watched an episode the other night because it was the only thing available to fill the time before Amazing Race, and I really have to wonder why it gets all the praise and Emmy love.

I suppose that made her marginally better than the characters who were monsters and didn't love their children, but yeah, she was a monster who did terrible things allegedly to protect her children. Neither her love for her children or her supposed oppression by the patriarchy excuses any of the horrible acts she committed or which were committed at her order. I hated the character. She was marginally less insane than in the book but that's it.

It does talk about that. It was a massive clusterfuck all around at NASA's higher levels. Their chain of command culture was the biggest flaw of all. The time to do something which would've prevented the tragedy was well before the launch but those with serious concerns weren't taken seriously.

Glad I'm not alone in hating obnoxious Amanda in Madrid. She's totally a trust fund baby who's never really had to pay for things. Honestly, I was surprised the realtor was able to find anything in central Madrid with two beds/two baths, but of course it was to small for that whiny witch.

It's almost like the Challenger disaster changed things for the worse, making NASA bureaucracy even more insular and less open to the voicing of concerns. In all likelihood, there was nothing anyone could have done to prevent the Columbia disaster once the shuttle had been launched, but had the higher ups at NASA pursued the options to get better pictures of the shuttle's underside, they would have had more information and might have known one way or the other if there was anything to be done. But no, we won't ask the DOD for their satellites to take a look because we might not see anything and that would be embarrassing, oy.

I said Yalta despite being sure they wanted something that wasn't a place name. I can thank my older brother for my getting this clue. Not that I remember anything about their music but I do remember the cover of the album Thunderbox with its keyhole picture of a woman on a toilet. Obviously that really impressed my 9 year old self. I didn't think it was clunky at all. The clues should be a little more complex than just a simple equation. I got it right away but there wasn't anything in the clue which should've confused anyone who knows the movie.

Is that where that nightmare came from??? I cannot stand that woman. Her face, her voice, the apparent preciousness of her character, they all make me wanna do damage to myself when the commercials pop up. Times change. The 70s was a long time ago. Lots of US shows came from British shows in previous decades. Including All in the Family. And both Maude and the Jeffersons were spin-offs. Not that they were bland. Okay, so that brings up a possibly very unpopular opinion: I hate All in the Family. The only good things which came from it were The Jeffersons and a private joke between my BFF and me about Edith's nasally pronunciation of Scranton.

Thankfully my mom is not anywhere near like Mary either, but she definitely was the dominant partner in the marriage.

I said Darwin but didn't think that could be right. Really I had no clue. I know very little about Newton except for the apple/gravity story, his laws of thermodynamics and that Fig Newtons were not named for him. It's always Newton when they want an English physicist but there was nothing in the clue which told me that, unfortunately. I got it from Delaware County. Helps that I live just below the Mason-Dixon line and have some familiarity with the counties of southeastern PA. Brain fart? Glad he corrected it right away. I was like "WTF? That's Florence!". I am very pleased to say I ran that category. Sidenote: a radio station to which I listen in my car has a habit of playing certain songs multiple times in the same day for weeks at a time; more than once that song has been Our House by Madness. I think that's because he corrected it right away and another contestant got the right answer.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Seriously, Liverpool hands you a gift and you blow it against Villa! What the fucking hell?!?!?!

Eh, I keep my cat's food in a separate drawer, away from the people food. Which is what this ass could've done with his dogfood. So I think he's the jerk in this commercial. Of course, I hate all those high-end pet food commercials anyway for basically implying that anyone who doesn't spend the money on their stuff is a bad pet owner. (Why yes, Blue Buffalo commercials, I AM looking at you. F the hell off.)

I don't believe they thought they were being cool or original. They were just capturing a moment for a memory, like millions of people do everyday for things which are much less "once or twice in a lifetime" in nature. Honestly I wish I had been able to travel to someplace where there was a total eclipse, but it was still cool to look out my window at work and see a crescent sun peeking through the clouds and see the darkish area on an otherwise sunny day. As for the media hype, well it was some good news when most of what we're getting right now is bad.

If they wanted Amy in the Masters Tournament so badly, they should've just put her there to begin with rather than wasting a JIT spot, imo.

Very realistic for the time, though. I'd say that's a huge factor in Matthew not telling Trixie about what are obviously huge financial issues. But he needs to bite the bullet and tell her now. And Marbella, which often seems more English than Spanish with all the sunburned expats.

I thought it was perfectly logical because her default when anyone opposed her was pretty much "Burn them all". She was her father's daughter and started showing it in Season 2. Exactly. That I fully agree with, but I think the notion of a king who can see the mistakes of the past (literally) and not repeat them is pretty appealing. Doesn't mean it would work out, but it has a certain logic to it. I just wish they'd had Tyrion use that as the reason Bran should be king instead of the "who has the best story" nonsense. Although it's possible not everyone gathered knew about that ability. Honestly, I don't think GRRM knows how to get there either.

I did too. They seemed reasonable in their requests and also understood that they might not get everything they wanted. And they weren't insisting on central Paris for a change. I liked the couple in Falkirk for a lot of the same reasons. Yeah, that was annoying. I know damned well that other countries have things we don't. France, for example, has pastries the quality of which you cannot get here, even in the best bakeries. (Ummm, eclairs!) Eh, not everyone aspires to have a career. Depends on what kind of lifestyle you want. But yeah, Scottish winters are going to be quite the shock.

I usually do that but apparently messed it up this time.

Idk, my family is a bit like that. My dad was the peacekeeper. Which was a good thing given what the interaction with some of my mom's family was like. It didn't seem like he'd ever told anyone about it, so why would it be mentioned? Unless you mean in Sheldon's voiceover. I actually resisted watching the show at first because I detest Sheldon, so I'm fine with less and less of him. I like most of the rest of the characters and find them enjoyable. I don't mind her most of the time. There was an episode in an earlier season of Young Sheldon with a voiceover which referenced Georgie's first marriage. Of course, he also said it was when Georgie was 19, so . . . I'd watch a spin-off with Missy, preferably with Sheldon MIA completely.
