I’m over Ray’s run, but I’m over all the long runs. I wish they’d go back to the 5-day limit. Cycle more people through, make the game less about buzzer comfort/practice. Grrr.

@MerBearStare, off to trip down the Reddit hole. Thanks for the tip! 😀

Poor Ms. Casey! "In my 107 hours of life" was heartbreaking. And Irving .... oh, Irv, why have you been to the Testing Floor??? And how many times does someone have to go to the Testing Floor for it to stick in your subconscious? That cut scene with Kier flapping off into the sunset was wild. Creepy AF, but hilarious in a vintage Oregon Trail Apple IIGS way. Took me right back to second grade. Count me right out on the waffle party and the "Founder's Bed." Hardest of hard passes on that bizarre AF "Eyes Wide Shut"/"Punch and Judy" orgy-tableau. AHHHHH! My heart rate went up during that last scene.

Damn, Ms. Casey! And Dylan! And mystery university lady! I haven't enjoyed a show this much in a long while.

A nice touch, considering one of the producers is Lena Horne's granddaughter (Jenny Lumet).

Other people probably already noticed this, but all the "M"s we saw and thought "Ooh, Mephisto!"...it was the shape of her Scarlet Witch crown. This show was so tightly scripted and the set design was on-point. Well played, show. Very well played.

I'm pulling for Will Ferrell to guest host for a couple of weeks -- AT got a kick out of WF's version of him, and I think Ferrell could do it. I mean, if Sean Connery, Turd Ferguson, and "Anal Bum Cover" don't prepare you for the real thing, what does???

My guess: She tried to assassinate the president for giving Naird a trash assignment AND sending them to Colorado (the horrors!). I'm from Colorado and even I'd nope out of the eastern plains.

Trish's arc actually made some sense -- even in S1, she wanted what she thought Jessica had, and when she finally got what she thought it was, it didn't make her who she thought she wanted to be. Tragic, but reasonably well executed. Throughout the whole series, Jessica was more like Dorothy than Trish -- she knew who she was, warts and all, and owned it. Benjamin Walker = yummy. For all that, the most underwhelming thing about S3 is that the Marvel TV universe went out with a whimper, not a bang.

Dodgy CGI and makeup effects aside (good lord, was Lucifer's Devil Face mouth ever distracting ... uncanny valley distracting), Netflix pulled off more character development in 10 episodes than Fox managed to eke out in 3 seasons. And at long last, we're finally seeing shades of the graphic novel Lucifer. Sign me up for Season 5!

Well. Bonnet's just as charming, scheming, and reprehensible as he is in the books. Let's hope we don't have to wait until the end of the next season for his drowning dreams to come true. I'm not sure I can take multiple seasons of him. Even if Ed Speleers does look uncannily Ledgeresque. Yep. He'd overlook the quitrent for a certain soldier-farmer who could take on the Regulators (mount up).

No doubt, because the "I want to live forever to protect you and Alice" probably could've been mentioned two episodes ago.

This may be an unpopular opinion 'round these parts, but...I don't miss Dolls. Was it the way the character was written? Acted? I dunno, but Dolls never did it for me. Doc, however, does. What fresh hell is this "Doc's a vampire" nonsense? It's Dolls all over again -- they need a narrative device, anything will do, doesn't even need to connect to literally anything else in the episode. Lazy writing, writers. Be better.

Worse -- it's not ice, it's plastic. O.o

As I always say, it's not an Olympic Games until Andrea Joyce has tried to make an athlete cry.

If I was about to tramp off through the jungle with a man whose spirit guide is a coconut, I'd take anything I could find. Signal flares, stray carrier pigeon, anything.

MILCK, possibilities

My best guess at Mom's dastardly plan? Something along the lines of an...

"Serpentine!" always reminds of Peter Falk and Alan Arkin in "The In-Laws":

Honestly, peeayebee, I remember everything from that 22 minutes entirely out of sequence. I'd have sworn I was negative going into the first commercial break. (Heck, watching the game two months later, I was convinced they'd moved a clue.) It's such a surreal experience. But I wasn't really nervous about being in the red. The way I see it, I had the Full Jeopardy Experience -- I was up, I was down, I was right, I was so so wrong, I was positive, I was negative. And I got a compliment from the man himself (which I can't remember, but no matter). But it's tremendous fun -- if Trebek ever retires, I'd totally do it again (and maybe win!). The crew run a tight ship, and you meet the most interesting, fun, nerdy people -- contestants and staff. And on that note, hi there, RiaBee (Fariha). I would have stayed to watch your game, but alas, since they don't feed the morning losers lunch, I left to eat and ended up at the beach instead.

Thanks! I was mildly terrified to watch the show, because all I could remember was all the clues I biffed, even though I knew I rallied at the end. But it wasn't as bad as I feared. (The margaritas didn't hurt either ;-)) It's funny -- when I told people I was going to be on Jeopardy!, they all asked which categories were going to do me in. Sports: Always Sports. So, even if the ghost of Yogi Berra had appeared before my podium and said, "I am the answer to this question," I'd have said, "That's lovely. Who are you?" Doubly amusing: We spent 10 minutes talking about Yogi Berra and his Yogi-isms in the green room that. very. morning. (Purely coincidental)

His 'tude always reminds me of Celebrity Jeopardy on SNL: "Now, listen to me! You back off, Trebek! You wouldn't have known that if you didn't have that card in front of you! This guy reads from a card!" It was taped the first week of February (I was last night's middle podium).

My sister and I have decided that the Dark Evil Lord should be Adele. Because: Amazingly Dark Evil Lord, Esquire. Obviously.

Is anyone else watching the sound healer from LA? I just don't understand her insistence on having the bathroom and kitchen outside. I know it's LA, but there're gonna be times you don't want to flash your bits to the local llamas. Also, you want a tiny house, you're gonna have to sacrifice closet space. C'mon now.

Char ceded all of the moral high ground she was occupying in this episode. Neither she nor Korina came off well, but I feel for Korina. Fans be nuts.
