Why, what an unexpected outcome....
Is Blais getting fashion advice from Johnny Weir? Gail looked lovely and they stuck her in the middle of the line to avoid side views, I guess.
Did production not do their due diligence and realize the relationship between Palmer and Amar wasn't all roses and sunshine? They could have had Emeril and Blais come in and sous. Or let them have a familiar face from their own kitchens.

Finally got to watch it. Great production! The house was perfect, and it's always great to see a cast of really good actors tackle an ensemble piece. Scantily clad Aidan Turner and Toby Stephens, hubba hubba! Glad they spared us Charles Dance in similar condition.
They really over did the make up on Maeve Dermody in the second half. She looked like she hadn't slept in a month and everyone else looked a little tired at worst.

So, keeping a giant box full of years-old credit card bills... is that something people used to do?
Back when you could deduct sales tax on your income tax, it was a lot more common to keep all of your receipts. She was moving from place to place and maybe didn't unpack and dispose of things. Who knows how old the purchase was?
They should have cast the Rock as OJ.

I wouldn't really call BDK "world cusine" it's pretty typical American.
It was. It was a prime example of restaurant design ruining the dining experience. They stripped every bit of sound-absorbing material out, put down tiles on the floor, and crammed the tables so close together that you ended up talking to the people at adjacent tables. You couldn't have paid me to return.

I, too, thought Nick and Monroe acting like drunks in a china shop in that church was all kinds of wrong. WTH?!
They weren't in a church in this episode - they fell into a hole in the forest and ended up in some sort of crypt.
Thank God I'm not the only one noticing the height differences. I think they had Renard on the curb above Meisner who was standing in the street - which just made it worse to watch. It's hard to be a bad ass with your head tilted that far back.

If a group of people told me, "We are all Negan" my reaction would be to ask them if it was an abbreviation. Or "big family!"
It just has that "I'm Spartacus!" feel to it.
The Negan's seemed to have order and discipline which is something that our hair triggered, plans?-we-don't-have-to-show-you-no-stinking-plans! heroes seem to be sorely lacking. Contingencies, back ups, consequences etc.

They've added nothing. I have an irrational dislike of her because of the nose piercing. It is probably a generational thing.....I can't take the ear holes either.
But he seemed totally too into Taye Diggs.

Welcome to the club. Not that there's anything wrong with it! We all need guilty pleasures.
Or as my daughter puts it, "They're still running it. There must be people other than us who watch it!"

I'm very upset about this; there is no one who can replace him! It will be an offensive choice, whoever it is.
It'll be a slightly less interesting man for sure.

Padma's dress, although skimpy, was pretty and flattering. Gail's dress was doing her no favors. Is she pregnant?

For the pickled grapes, they did show red jalapenos. They may have been more spicy than pickled.

The final final will be shown next week. This was just the run up to the final.
Go Amar! But I think Jeremy is going to win.

I’m a little puzzled by the passionate responses from those too young to remember this trial. Is the Brown-Goldman murder destined to become a famous Hollywood crime, like Monroe’s suicide and the Black Dahlia? People are murdered every day. Murderers are occasionally acquitted. Innocent people are sentenced. Why is this crime so different? The consensus seems to be that OJ wasn’t that famous, so … ?
Maybe the young ‘uns can explain?
Is this some form of humor that I'm too old to understand?
We're watching a dramatization of the Brown-Goldman murder twenty years later, because it was the famous Hollywood crime. This crime is so different because the defendant was so rich and so famous. This crime is different because the defendant used his wealth to buy himself a not guilty verdict by bringing in every high powered attorney he could get. This crime is different because the judge decided to let the trial be televised so that every single person in America could watch it week after week.
And if you cannot understand how famous OJ Simpson was, you will never understand why this was such an important case. Imagine that Tom Brady murdered his wife. Imagine that Michael Jordan murdered his wife. OJ Simpson was more famous and more beloved than either of them.

The actress is June Squibb. She was an absolute trip on the HBO (way too short lived series) Getting On. She played Varla Pounder, there is a video on YT. Language warning.. I thought this episode was pretty funny. Manny's comeback was great. Phil was cute and funny as the housewife. Cam and Mitch usually annoy the hell out of me, but, I liked this plot. I loved Mitch's reaction when he first noticed the dolls. I like the creepy and weird. I even thought the ridiculous cutout story line was funny. Well hey Ernie Hudson! I'd watch this again on re-runs.
Really really late on this one.
June Squibb was nominated for an Oscar for her role in Nebraska - funniest old lady ever!
hasn't Ernie Hudson been one as one of Jay's golfing pals before?

She did get final words. They played them as soon as she was booted. She said something about how she's proud of herself because she didn't give up and tried her best. They didn't play her words over the credits like usual because that was used for Caleb's words.
They didn't show her final words in the usual place, over the montage showing who voted for who, because there was zero mystery about who voted for who this time. Good for her for making them do a TC anyway. And I couldn't stand her from the get go.

That baby is freaking adorable.
I must be the last person watching this, but I liked it. Catherine having the booty call, and Jimmy just accepting it, was great. They are two peas in a pod.

Even Dickie's anemia couldn't resist the happy ending, and stopped being pernicious just in time.
Farewell, Downton Abby..I will miss you.
It's the best anemia ever! Although if the diagnosis comes from Dr. Clarkson, wouldn't you get a third and even a fourth opinion? It was touching that the villagers were so concerned that he wouldn't be there to treat them.
So who's going to take care of that perfectly nice elderly couple now that Thomas has deserted them?

I think more recent years of unconventional materials challenges have focused on materials that can "easily" be transformed. The dress you showed is kind of a perfect example. I'm sure it was a pain shaping the placemats, but really, they only had to have a design and figure out how the mats would bend. In past years, they had to use far more complex materials and sure, they transformed them, but there was no hiding the materials. I'm thinking back on things like Austin Scarlett's corn husk dress or the other florist-challenge dresses.
The dress that was shown was actually made out of red sombreros. The good design comes from the fact that they managed to keep the curves and hat shapes in part of the garment, and then flatten them out to make the rest of the dress.
Kini and Mitchell were the only ones who really managed to do that in this challenge. I thought Mitchell was going for something similar to Justin's pipette dress, minus the cool sound of the pipette's rubbing together. Valerie's swabs were cool, but they still looked like cotton swabs all lined up.
I think Ken was robbed.

This. So much this. I was incredibly disappointed with season 6 and with the ending. The only good thing is, that I'm truly over Downton now and that I'm really glad it is over. Tom's lack of storyline and ending was sad. Just throw a last second "love interest" at him and give him a job as a second car salesman and that's good enough, right? After all who cares for Tom. He was only in the series for 6 years and he had dreams and ambitions once. But he looks good holding a puppy and loves the Crawleys,so what could his fans wish for?
Well he's got free day care for life. That's worth something.
And Henry is not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer - I'm sure that Tom can make sure that he gets the bigger piece of the pie.

I don't watch these first run because they are sooooooo repetitive, but saw this one on the rerun and noticed two things:
1) the customers must have some real dirt on Joanne because they kept her from knocking down the short wall separating their dining room from the front door. So they could have a foyer. So that every salesman/Jehovah's Witness/politician who knocks at their door, can't see everything in the home unless invited in.
2) Chip actually made a call of doom to the customers! Their reaction was priceless: "Well it sounds like a lot of money, but I guess we really need a sewage pipe."

Princella getting the phone calls from her mother, right at the worst time, was priceless.

Yeah, they were really in Wolfach, at least for all the exterior scenes. Here is the St.Laurentius church in Wolfach https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfach#/media/File:St_laurentius_wolfach.JPG There are lots of images of Wolfach online that match exactly with the shots of them driving around. They used a different church for the interior.
.....
This episode was shot in late autumn. What might look like clear cut patches is really stands of deciduous trees that have lost there leaves.That can be seen by enlarging online images to see more detail.
I lived in the area as a child. The church interior looked identical to one we went to, Protestant not Catholic. Good to know they spent some bucks and went to the old country.

And Then There Were None (2015) - General Discussion
in And Then There Were None (2015)
Two additional observations:
They kept calling him Dr. Armstrong, but in Britain they don't do that.
In most other parts of the world all medical practitioners, physicians and surgeons alike, are referred to as Dr while in the UK surgeons are usually referred to as Mr/Miss/Ms/Mrs.
The flashback to Aidan Turner's crime, he looked just like he did in Being Human when he was standing in the train car yelling "I'm John Mitchell and I've killed more people than you've known." Guess he's typecast as a mass murderer.
