  1. Very late to the party.  I agree with the speculation about Devon.  Is she a Lumon spy as well as Cobell?

    How did Irv get all the intel that he dragged out of the case?  There were names of many severed people as well as the map with their homes.

    Irv painting over and over the view in the elevator when they turned between Innie and Outie, was heartbreaking.

    Dylan clearly had the shortest arms of anyone in the group.  Why did he insist on being in the control room?

    And the dad in his 70s that wondered about his childhood address for years!  You don't remember your childhood address???  I use mine sometimes as my password. LOL.  About a week ago, I looked at the house on Google Streets. Still looking good!

    I had about 10 of them.  No, I do not remember any of them, except the last one.  But I've not seen the commercial.

    AV Club made a good point:

    Actually, I think they're wrong.  Freddie's to do list shouldn't change whether he's with Guillermo or with Nandor.  Otherwise, he's like poor Marwa doomed to like everything that Nandor likes.  Original Freddie at least should have agency.  It was great seeing him doing everything in light and in dark.  He and Guillermo went to a matinee!

    I don't care much about Nadja's club but seeing Sophia Coppola get it was great.

    There is a similar law relating to any Ghost Hunters-type show:  If they ever really catch a ghost on film, you'd know about it right away.

    Sounds like the River Monsters rule that Jeremy only catches the fish he's after in the last minute of the show.

    Seems like a lot of these folks made poor choices as to what they brought.  And the one who lost his pot?  Now that's stupid.

    ....and the fact that he was using a straw on their night out. I thought no straws after any dental surgery

    I've never been told that and I have had a lot of teeth pulled.  With a straw you can direct liquid away from where the teeth were, otherwise drinking just sloshes things around.

    I had my lot of teeth pulled out starting in middle school years because my baby teeth wouldn't fall out, and there wasn't room for all my giant hard permanent teeth.  I have 10 less teeth now than everyone else.  It was my life for a while.  There was never any sewing up afterwards, but lots of bloody gauze.  I assume they just didn't film him at that point.

    It didn’t bother me, but they were clearly Dany fan-baiting by first focusing on Rhaenyra’s long white hair before we saw the rest of her. 

    She was also wearing the exact same dark gray wool coat that Dany wore in the last seasons of GOT.

    The wigs, the wigs!  Can we just call the black guy Ezekiel?

    Isn't House Tyrell's seat called High Garden?  That maybe where some of the confusion over the Hightowers is coming in.

    Guess I'm the only one who watched The Knick.  They did a C section sans anesthesia in their pilot episode.

    I wouldn't give this more than a C.  And the two cheesy elements near the end really pissed me off.

  7. On Sailing Yacht the engines went out and they crashed into the concrete dock and did damage to the boat.  Captain Glenn painted over it.

    I'm beginning to think neither Natasha or Natalya are right in the head.  Natasha for the drama over cheating on her ex with Dave and Natalya for wanting every ounce of Storm's attention when he just started a new job, and for insisting that Courtney was an asshole for not immediately starting to clean cabins.

    Just watched the final episode On Demand. Gonna go ahead and put this out there before I see what everyone else has to say.

    Of course they chose the house that would be the least challenging to reno.

    The house itself was not ugly. It was a design that was not practical for a family.  Their decor was over-the-top, we can charitably call it "taste specific".

    They definitely did not chose the house that would be least challenging to reno.  That would have been the linoleum house in LA.  This house needed extensive changes to the HVAC and plumbing.  One of the three octagons was not inhabitable when they started the reno.

    The design of the house was not practical for anyone.  I've lived in homes where the walls didn't go all the way to the ceilings and hated it.  [There's actually a style of home in my area where this was very popular in the 1950s]  You have no privacy, they are very noisy, and the cats go everywhere!

    At that point wouldn't anyone else on the walkies alerted Storm that Sandy could not hear him?  That is when the never seen engineers should have jumped in and helped or halted the engines.  At the end of the season that boat is going to look like the family car when a new driver takes it for a drive, lol.  

    I didn't understand why another deck hand didn't go back to help him.  However, I watched with my son who is a sailor (in the petroleum industry, not yachting) and he says lots of boat accidents are caused by walkie mishaps.  He also thought that the film showed that Sandy had used her forward thrusters to slow the speed into the dolphins.  We also had a long conversation about whether or not the dolphins were solid.  I'm not sure why that is important.

    Neither hit has been very hard.  In the first one, they got a fender between the boat and the dolphin.  This one looked to be low speed.

    Why did she have to exit the dock in reverse anyway?  Looked like lots of room to swing and go out bow forward.

    Natasha's voice is awful and I'm sick of her "love triangle."  Hope the old guy already has a rebound gal.

  10. I actually liked what she did with the house, but also wondered about a third bedroom for the other sister.

    I think engineering the HVAC was a huge part of this and I'm sorry they didn't include an explanation of how they really handled it and why they couldn't just take out or box in the former vent center.

    If they don't like the green shelving, it's easy enough to paint it.  Likewise, get rid of the pecky cypress dining room table.   They got a free home renovation after all.

  11. My read is that they are putting out 2 hour episodes where the first hour is new, and the second one is an old episode.  At least they're not doing the "new episode" trick where they add commentary to an old episode.

    Of course the spirit guide takes a snack into a port-a-potty while he doles out helpful (?) advice.  😂  But I'm glad Bear has him, he needs someone in his corner. 

    I think Bear has everyone in his corner, he's just too young to realize it.  He has his mother, the guys from the diner, the trucker, Big, the roofers, the little guys, etc.  Everyone is quietly looking out for him, while giving him room to make his own way.

  13. It's probably the big box holding his camera equipment.  It has to be waterproof and pretty rugged.  They try hard not to include them in the shots, but sometimes they sneak in.  Some contestants have used them as stools.

    Production ignited this fuze by making them share a cabin. They knew what would happen. I think they encouraged Natasha to do the mixed signals thing.

    They also made them go out to dinner and the club and drink to excess.

    And you can't ghost someone on a boat!  If she's been a yachtie that long (she said 8 years), she should know that.  Even without the cameras, they would be on top of each other all day.

  15. I liked that it was going to be a person of color, or a woman who won this year.  Good for Juan Paulo!

    What I didn't like was that they essentially spoiled the final three in the intro scenes (the ones repeated at the beginning of each episode) because those were the only ones shown in snow.  Clearly the snow was going to come at the end, not in the middle.
