That huge safe was so prominent in all the home scenes that I thought it was going to be Chekhov’s gun safe and fall on them in the third act.

I’ve always liked Kevin Hart as an actor but wow, he is a really savvy businessman and investor. Totally hold his own against bully Kevin and the rest. Major props to Kevin Hart.

The thing to remember is that the Challenger flight was very hyped over it being the first to take a civilian, and the civilian was to be a schoolteacher. The whole point was to bring attention to the space shuttle flights that had become ho-hum for the public, so there was a big campaign to get everyone but especially school children excited for the flight. That's why schools had televisions in classrooms and gymnasiums for them to watch the launch. It was a big event particularly for school kids. In the months prior teachers talked about it a lot, and I'm sure very many teachers said things like "Just imagine if it was me going to space! Maybe I'll go next time!" So young students had that kind of focus on it and a sudden tragic end would have affected them more than just a random space shuttle exploding. Kindergarteners might have been the least affected because of their age, maybe more confused than anything else, but I think it had more impact than a typical news event.

I see your point and can't disagree, but I wasn't suggesting her outburst was inappropriate or some kind of burden to the others. I only meant it as a dramatic choice, that seeing her sadness could be as or more effective as seeing her frustration.

If I were the writer or director, I would have had Rebecca kind of quietly and forlornly say, "...caboose" at the dinner table instead of shouting it. The others still would react quizzically because it came out of nowhere, but you would have Rebecca sad at the realization of what is happening to her instead of explosively frustrated. Maybe they shot it both ways and went with the more dramatic over the soft sadness.

Kate is some kind of pscyho for standing there listening to that terrible breakup scene and then immediately walking in to the office. But then again, he did call her in for an "emergency," that turned out to be a birthday song for her. So maybe she felt she had to talk to him right away. The whole scenario just felt off, like nothing real human beings would do.

I see with today’s sick woman episode he changed the chairs. Maybe just for her? I’ve always thought I could never be a guest on Dr. Phil because I’d be so awkward trying to get into those 10-ft tall high chairs, the ones where you have to back up to it and then climb backwards. But today’s club chairs? Yes, my favorite type. Now I can be on Dr. Phil.

Oh that poor fat girl with the cheesy wigs. Just sad. Her friend knew it was bad.

I want to see what is required for Ella to get on that poor horse. I’m 250 and won’t subject a typical horse to that (though I used to ride), and I could not mount a horse in the usual way.

“I could be shitting the bed. They should be more grateful.” That is Tammy’s personality in a nutshell.

Wait a minute. At the end they were talking about New York vs. Houston but there had been no talk or footage of travel. And that’s a long way. What’s up? What did I miss?

That smug, entitled little snowflake who flounced out of his retail job was insufferable. The way he looked at Phil and the other guy with those heavy lidded, half closed eyes told me everything about him. He thinks he deserves everything, his way, and now, and if anyone tries direct him or, god forbid, criticize him then they are disrespecting him. Did he really say he quit “from the area where all the managers be?” I liked when Dr. Phil said, “I don’t care how flat you make it, someone wrote pancake on my forehead, and I ask why not?”

He starts today’s bad kid episode by saying “I consider myself” a mandated reporter and over the years there have been times I had to….. (Waiting for him to say, “report the parents to child protective services.” Yes! Tell us you’ve done that!) …”warn the parents that I would report them if they don’t straighten up.” Ah phooey. You’ll never report a parent. You’re not “mandated” and you know it.

On my DVR, today’s episode is titled “Tragic School Shootings: Whose to Blame?” Should be “Who’s to Blame?” Just wanted to say that. Probably not going to watch the episode.

I think Sharon is my hero. As rough as she is, and Lord knows I don’t want to spend 20 minutes with her, she cut through the bullshit and realized how much Lacey was taking advantage of her and her brother.

A little behind I guess. But that was just sad with visiting Ricky’s mom before they left. And of course she had a goddamn chihuahua Babe.

Dr. Now: You’re super fat, out of control on so many levels. Here’s some common sense guidance. Now go do what you should have done for the past twenty years. Lacey: Okay, I will.

What is the Belgarde on the back window? A quick Google didn’t help.

God, it must smell so bad in that SUV. Dragonball Z, lol.

Drumsticks? If I’m bingeing at KFC, I’ll go for thighs, maybe breasts. Really good breakfast of zebra cakes and cheese puffs. Does she think she’s going to a magical place where that’s a good breakfast?

Hey babe!

Just look at their clothes at tribal council. They look like clean, freshly laundered shirts.

It always amuses me when Dr. Now tells these people to go home, follow a sensible diet, and lose a hundred pounds. As if they had never thought of that before. “Okay, doc! That never occurred to me! I’ll get right on it!”

I’m a little behind, but Jesus finging Christ you’re happy that 757 isn’t as bad as you feared? You’re so far gone….
