My guess is that they want the viewers to think "crashed flying ship" in the Mesa. Makes me think of the old British SyFy horror flick " 5 Million Years To Earth" (aka "Quartermass and the Pit"). The Bubble is puzzling. Also looks like Dragon is gone this season.

Funny enough, I opened up this Dateline forum and landed on the discussion from May about the Kings Road case (murders of 4 college kids). What do you all think of the plea deal (life without parole in exchange for no death penalty)? I hope that Kohberger comes clean and says why he did it and why. I always shake my head at killers who didn't have any qualms about being the judge and jury and taking others' lives but don't want the state to to do the same to them.

Well, I'm still here - LOL - anybody else???

Yep, the CBS Sunday Slot of Death. Why did they even bother to renew it?

Actually, when NCIS:LA ended, they gave the one guy a happy romantic ending (actually had him and the woman get married). There are probably other shows where they married off or romantically paired off a male lead at the end. I'm ok with the happy ending and I'm also fine that the show is apparently over. I think that it's jumped the shark and hated that so many episodes turned into a violence-porn fest. I really liked the cast but just really disliked the CIA and Drug Cartel storylines; I wish that they would've stuck to the stories about people with problems and nowhere to turn for help.

Well that was a shocking season ending. I really hope that it doesn't turn out that Parker was Carla's dead son's father. These shows seem to love going in THAT direction (NCIS NOLA anyone?). I didn't see the episode about Parker's mother. Did they explain how she died in that one? Did Parker's father have anything to do with it?

Agreed that a murderer is walking free (and with seemingly no remorse at that). I also agree that the investigation was botched from the get go in that they let Nichole off as a suspect way too early. It seemed as if the police had made up their minds that it HAD to be a jealous and/or rejected male suitor (or the out of town drifter) who did the murder. If the victim did in fact shut off the fish tank and killed the fish, I could see Nichole being angry enough (especially if enough booze was involved) to kill Anita. My guess is that it was a slow drip of resentments and jealousy and the dam finally burst. One can only hope that karma will eventually catch up to Nichole. She got away with murder; unfortunately the jury couldn't convict on what seemed to be reasonable doubt. Re the knife: my guess is that a knife like that is probably not all that unique in that part of the US. To me it looked like something that one could buy in a "Western" type of store and there are also plenty of Native American reservations in Eastern Montana (not sure about near Minot N Dakota). And as a woman who once lived in rural Eastern Montana, I can tell you that plenty of women own knives in that part of America. I still own the small knife that my ex-husband gave me as a gift many years ago, and I treasured it at the time. If a guy gave his wife a knife as a present where I live on Long Island, he'd be lucky if she didn't throw it at him. Different cultures.

Great acting in this series. I was pretty close to tears at the end for the death of a man who caused thousands of deaths. Mark Rylance and Timothy Spall also played adversaries in a movie from around 25 years ago called "Intimacy". Not for the prudish, the movie became notorious for its explicit non-simulated sex scenes. It was the first time I'd ever seen Mark Rylance (and believe me, it was an eyefull) and never forgot him.

I agree but still am shocked that it only took two hours for the jury to come to their guilty verdict. It really wasn't a cut and dried case; the defense raised a lot of good points. If he was taking all those supplements and steroids, who knows if he wasn't using insulin as well and might have overdosed himself. It's also very hard to believe that he had no idea what was going on with the business and that all of the fraud was her doing. I think that they were both in on it, and maybe he knew it was about to come crashing down so maybe taking too much insulin was even intentional on his end, leaving her to take the fall.

This episode really made me miss Aunt Vi, Dee, and Dante. Too much cartoon/video game violence and torture porn. The one guy is tied to a chair and beaten to where a real person would be missing most of their teeth, have a broken jaw, and look like a bloody pulpy mess, but not on this show! The out the window leap was laughable. This show is in the CBS Sunday timeslot of death, so I'd be surprised if it will have another season but if it gets picked up again, I'm getting to the point that if this is what they're going to offer, I'm done with it.

This show seems to like doing (for lack of a better way for me to put it) parallel stories so we will have (maybe not) Alfie's father, and Billy now becoming a father (or possibly, maybe won't be his baby).

When Billy said something like "it's going to be Hot Billy Summer", the first thing that I thought of was "The Summer of George" on Seinfeld and how that turned out. The way that this is going, maybe they will have Simone pregnant as well (insert eyeroll here).

I think its setting up something to happen next season.

Is there are possibility that the actress who plays Kaya is doing other things so they are limiting her screen time in the meantime?

So, I guess that this is kind of Ingrid's "origin story" - now we know that she is a total sociopath (as if there has been doubt) . Now that she's been given her walking papers, I wonder if this was the push to bring her over to Moriarty's dark side? And I also wonder if this is going to get Mary killed off (if they are going with Sherlock Holmes stories, I think that Mary Watson dies some where along the way) as Ingrid will no doubt seek revenge. Does anybody know if this series has been renewed?

This case really had me puzzled - I think that the letter to the police telling them where to find the bottle of the drug in Adam's car had me thinking that she probably did it. That guy's car was a total pigpen, but why would he keep the bottle of pills if he had been guilty? I keep thinking that Dateline must have left out a bunch of info about this. Badgerwoman above mentions a Hulu doc about this guy and info about Katie that Dateline didn't tell us. I also wonder if Katie hadn't been so young, pretty, and angelic-looking (and sounding) if the jury would've gone harder on her.

Ok, so I'm going to add my obnoxious two cents here. The "quad cat" was a Devon Rex. My sister who is very allergic to cats, had two Devon Rex's, both of which she gave to our parents, and then I inherited one of them. I also inherited a Cornish Rex. My sister currently has a few Sphynx cats (the naked one in the photo). No cat is really "hypoallergenic" and I'm rather surprised at Siamese, Russian Blues, Burmese, and Ocicats being on the list. Most people with cat allergies are actually allergic to a protein in cat saliva, which is all over the cats when they groom themselves. The Rex breeds have very short (mostly curly) hair that doesn't shed all over the place like most cats. Needless to say, neither do Sphynx cats (or a very similar breed called the Peterbald). Since you don't have tons of hair flying all over the place, it lessens the allergenic particles flying around as much. You can also wipe the cats down with a damp washcloth and that also helps remove the allergens from the cat. The Sphynxes are kind of greasy as they don't have the hair to absorb the normal skin oils. My sister has told me that she has to give them baths every so often to keep them clean.

It really does make you wonder if that guy has raped and/or killed other women. Frankly, after seeing all the photos of him with the dead animals, it isn't surprising that he probably didn't have a lot of compunction about killing a young girl who could get him in a lot of trouble. I'm disgusted with these big game hunters. I've lived in Montana, and Colorado, and I've known people who hunt. None of the people who I knew hunted game they weren't going to eat (deer, moose, antelope). To kill an animal to just stick it's head on a wall is disgusting, especially with high powered sights, rifles, and even the types of bows and arrows used today, the animal has no chance. Some "sport". The guy was too much of a coward to allow himself to be arrested and put on trial. Kudos for the retired cop who came out of retirement to solve the case.

Not impressed by this first episode of Season 2. I enjoyed the beginning when Sophie pulled the light switch at the big Fair, and I also enjoyed the clothing (but I don't think that those metal low slung belts were a thing until a few years later). Of couse Sophie had to accidently get stoned by eating brownies (rolling eyes here). Can't do a show about "Swinging London" without a trippy party I guess. I'm finding the romance really boring. In real life, I'd think that Dennis would have sucked it up and let his wife file under "mental cruelty" and be done with it. Now it will be all of this agita keeping him and Sophie apart or risk destroying her career. I believe there was a female British pop singer who had an out of wedlock child, but I'm spacing on her name, and there was a scandal about singer Sandie Shaw being involved with a married man. Then there was also all the nasty business with the late Marianne Faithful and a drug raid involving the Rolling Stones. Female artists were held to a different standard. One pleasure of this show is watching Gemma Arterton (now there is a name which would have been changed back in the day). She is really talented, and I so enjoy watching her, especially wearing those fashions (I think she is really beautiful). This show wouldn't be as watchable without her in it. I'm just hoping that the future episodes are more interesting.

This was a weird season and can't say that I loved it. I wonder if Matthew Beard had a limited time to shoot scenes due to being being busy with other projects, and thats why they mainly had him in a hospital bed and in Oskar's mind scapes? We know that WW I happened, so ok, a cabal of folks being blackmailed by an industrialist were the ones who REALLY made it happen (insert eye roll here). I guess we can say they threw the lit match into the powder keg that was the final days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Oskar was the witness. And yeah, props to having a non-cliched ending - the Bad Guys won and nobody got married.

This episode was probably the best of this season as, I dunno, to me the writing this season seems kind of "off". I liked the retired disabled veteran who opened up a shop and provided jobs for other vets and I loved how his men stood behind him. I'm also happy that the troubled man who had guilt over what happened to his brother, found support from the other vets and we are assuming will get help for his issues. I'm also going to assume that we are being teased that Torres is in a relationship? And the team has got to be the nosiest bunch of yentas around. Talk about everybody being up in everybodies business! Could you imagine marrying into that crew - forget the overbearing mother-in-law, you'd have the rest of the team.

I think that he was working in the capacity of a Federal Agent. The drug kingpin's daughter was apparently his head assassin and she was there to kill a Federal Attorney (prosecutor?), the guy who was out with his wife.

This episode was way better than the episodes featuring over the top CIA crap. Agree that the Robyn/Dante/Miles triangle is a bore. Kind of makes me laugh though where there are shows like Murder In a Small Town where the two leads go out on one date and immediately jump into bed, and then you have this show where its been like three years and all this pussy-footing around. I'd rather see a happy medium. Dante was kind of put on the back burner (the LA storyline) because the actor was in a Broadway show. Maybe the B-way show has ended and he's more available now? And wasn't Aunt Vi previously shown as being Gay? Now they have her being googly over this police guy - I wonder why they rolled back the Gay angle? And now that The Equalizer has been moved to the CBS Sunday Timeslot of Death, my guess is that this is the last season. Correct me if I'm wrong, but every show in the last ten years that got moved to 10 pm Sunday nights was cancelled at the end of the show's season.

This is exactly the painting that I thought of when they showed the first victim's body. This is leaning me in the direction of the art teacher, but I'll agree with emma675 and say that Cassandra's friend is also very creepy and I didn't like his expression when she suggested that he should play a sociopath. He might turn out to be a red herring though. From the next episode sneak peak, it looks as if Alberg's daughter's friend is going to be at risk. I wonder if it will be from the teacher, Cassandra's weirdo friend, or the girl's douchy ex-boyfriend?

Not as bad as other CIA episodes, but I wish they would just get back to the original concept of this show - helping people who have no where else to turn. I'm an old lady and really miss the hell out of God Friended Me (and going way back, Highway To Heaven) and I am sick to death of all the violence and guns going off and blood being spilled. CBS Sunday night - lets kill lots 'o bad people - thats how we save the world. Dunno if Fisk will be back or not, but the guy has more hairstyles than Robyn. What is up with that (and the one he had this episode was seriously fugly)? Speaking of hair, makeup, and clothing, has the budget been cut this season or did they just get a new crew? Aunt Vi still has her hair, but it seems as if they have opted for easier (?) to maintain styles for Robyn and Dee. The makeup seems a bit more natural (no more red lips for Mel) and the clothing not as noticible. Again, no more over the top outfits for Mel - they have her looking like she's ready to lunch with Long Island girlfriends. Was that do to her stepping away from the team or for production costs? Anyway, it just seems that the show has a different "vibe" this season.
