This episode had bits I loved and bits I hated so while it wasn't nearly as successful as last week's, it was at least better for me than the first few episodes of the season. Anything that doesn't have to do with Richmond just seems like a colossal waste of time given how little time we have left. I mean, Jason Sudeikis basically feels like a supporting character this season while KJPR gets LOADS of screen time. I have adored Keeley's relationship with Rebecca since season 1 but they need to figure out a way to get her back to Richmond ASAP because her entire arc is just a time suck. I laughed when Nate's diorama got crushed. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I don't care about Nate, I'm not interested in a redemption arc for him, I'd be happy never to see him again. His creepy "showing up at the restaurant and peering through the window every day" did not endear me to him nor did his creating some Jack-in-the-box from hell to ask a woman on a date. LOVED getting to meet Sam's father and seeing where Sam gets it from. And the team banding together to repair the restaurant? *weeps* 🤗 All of the Richmond scenes made me giddy. Please let the show focus on THE TEAM for the remainder of the season and not these stupid side plots. Pretty please. Also, more Mae. Please and thank you.

I think I'm going to finish this season and then finally quit this show for good. They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for storylines at this point. It's unfortunate because I really like several of the actors - it's just SO STUPID.

It definitely wasn't a thing when I was a kid because I remember being VERY jealous when it did become a thing and and I was too damn old. ☹️

Is anyone really shipping Nate with anyone though? He's pretty much universally reviled so I don't know how much people care about his love life.

When did people start thinking that Ted Lasso was Law & Order: SVU??? The moment Rebecca walked into that bedroom, I flashed back to the psychic telling her she would become a mother. And I think they made it pretty clear that Rebecca's fertile days are behind her. Have we become so jaded as a society that some of us automatically leap to "She's going to get pregnant because the stranger had sex with her while she was unconscious!" It's a sweet comedy series, for pete's sake. And all romantic comedies are unrealistic, that's why they're so successful. They traffic in unrealistic fantasies. Personally, I loved seeing Rebecca getting her groove on and being treated like the queen she is. Dutchman is hot and I hope she figures out some way to see him again. Colin's conversation with Trent really hit me in the feels. And I'm absolutely THRILLED that the speculation that Rebecca's ONE TRUE LOVE is Trent can finally be put to bed, no pun intended. This episode was aces for me and really back to Season 1/2 form. I loved it.

Jacob's Ketanji Brown Jackson pajamas! 🤣 I'm not a huge Gregory/Janine shipper, but damn, they made me swoon in this episode. I loved seeing them have an honest, mature conversation with one another and recognizing the potential repercussions to a romantic relationship going sour. I haven't been to The Franklin Institute in DECADES but I was absolutely DELIGHTED that this episode was set there and that they actually filmed there. I could smell the stinky feet heart from my tv screen! 😉 I'm going to miss this show over the next few months.

Not sure where to put this so... I saw Prima Facie on Saturday night. In a word, WOW. It is incredibly intense and Jodie Comer is absolutely mesmerizing. I can't recommend it highly enough. One of the most affecting theater experiences I've ever had.

I have never loved Ms. Barbara more than I did in this episode. ❤️

I've been to a movie theater maybe twice in the last dozen years precisely for that reason. And my most recent visit did not inspire me to take up the habit again. Sigh... Our cultural campus just announced the 2023-2024 season and sadly, I'm disappointed. On the 1 hand, it will represent a HUGE cost saving as I'm a subscriber, but I'm not terribly inspired by the shows. Wicked, Company, Ain't Too Proud, Mrs. Doubtfire, Girl From the North Country, Frozen, Funny Girl, Mean Girls, Cirque Dreams Holidaze, Hadestown, Message in a Bottle, and Mamma Mia! Meh.

Has anyone tried or heard anything about Gobble? Their intro offer - 6 meals for $36 - seems like a steal, but I've literally never heard of them.

Utterly disgusting and classless. 😡

I saw the touring production of Six last week and REALLY enjoyed it. It was a ton of fun and I found the production and music really catchy and clever. My only quibble was with some fellow audience members who brought 4 young children who could NOT sit still for the show despite it only being 80 minutes long. But I'm also guessing young children aren't exactly the target audience for a musical about the wives of Henry VIII despite how poppy the music is. 😒

The most satisfying moment of this episode for me was seeing Nate wandering onto the pitch following his snub of Ted and essentially standing there alone. He wasn't being mobbed by any of the players or a real part of the celebration - he was just kind of standing there by himself. Karma is a bitch, you douche. Yes, I am petty AF.

I saw a commercial for this last night and it revealed the return of a certain character and I yelled at my tv.

Jodie did a very extensive interview in New York this week. At about 28:13 she begins talking about Killing Eve, including her thoughts on the finale, for about 10 minutes.

I finally just changed my DVR recording to go 90 minutes over so I don't have to rely on On-Demand and their annoying commercials that you can't fast forward. While I did like this episode more than the last couple, I was still thoroughly confused by certain plot points. Or holes, as others have pointed out. I feel like the writers think they're smarter than they actually are.

That 2 second scene just hardened my hatred for Nate which was already off the charts. I don't care if you're Mother Theresa, if you can't even exhibit basic manners or common courtesy, you can get stuffed. God, I hate him!

Binged this over the weekend and absolutely LOVED it. I really hope this will come back for a second season. I love Kerry but the MVP here for me is 100% Delroy Lindo. I've seen him in probably 100 movies and tv shows but he is just so wildly charismatic in this role. I too hope he isn't forgotten come Emmy time. I particularly loved the evolution of his relationship with Finn. And little Paige is a star. I just love her.

I'm fine with this. I know there are many that have loved it and want it to continue, but I'm finally ready to say goodbye after almost 20 years.

For her sake I certainly hope so! She is much too fabulous to be saddled with that prick in her head all of the time. This episode the show was back in form for me. But there are so many moving pieces, I wish they would slow down just a smidge. Let storylines and characters breathe a bit. I'm thrilled that Keeley finally put her foot down, however gingerly, with the CFO. I really do want her and her company to succeed and the stuff with Roy is really secondary for me. Although I've never been *THAT* emotionally invested in any of the romantic relationships on this show so that's me, not them. But I did love how invested the lads were in trying to comfort Roy. Zava is going to be an unmitigated disaster with this group. And I found it hard to believe that after 3 years, Ted still didn't know who he was.

I'm not going to lie - I screamed when Charlie's niece said she put a hot curler or roller in her doll's hair and they revealed what it was. I'm going to miss this show during hiatus.

It took 2 watches of this episode before I could get fully back on board. While there was plenty of story movement, it just didn't have any of those laugh out loud moments I've come to expect. Still hate Nate with the fire of a thousand suns and hope he dies miserable and alone. God, what a twat. I wish they hadn't taken the "Keeley is in charge and is now a basket case" route. Yes, starting a new business is a huge time commitment and is very stressful but they've always presented her as being pretty bad ass in her own right. I suspect some of it has to do with sadness over Roy but there is absolutely NO WAY she doesn't know what CFO stands for. I've now used "poop-eh" at least 6 times even when the sentence didn't call for it.
