Much as I liked this episode, it still had too much of an "Identity Crisis" (a DC comics mini-series) feel to it. J'onn I feel should have struggled much more about mind-wiping Haley, plus he, Alex, Kara and especially Brainy should all be smart enough to see all the ways this might possibly go wrong.

I was a fan of New Girl on Fox. One year they ran an episode (featuring Prince) immediately after the Super Bowl. That episode racked up 25 million viewers. The following week 24.5 million of those folks where nowhere to be found. So yeah, I think you're on to something there.

Yeah I wasn't sure what that was about. Was her intent to antagonize? Elicit sympathy? Really weird. Seriously detracted from that killer dress and hourglass figure.

This is definitely the final season - Leonard clearly knew something that Sheldon didn't and absolutely nothing was said about it. Otherwise, a meh episode overall.

Well now we know how Ryan meets his end. He'll try to kill Carly and in will rush St. Jasus of Borg to save the day. Make book on it. They had to figure out a way to work Carly's one tru luv into this story line. I too enjoyed Kristina today. She was the only adult sitting at a table that included Alexis Davis. Maybe that cult actually is helping her.

The way JL has been playing this, it does seem like the thought of killing Laura crosses his mind frequently. Not sure why she annoys him so much. Kinda wish Luke was still around, his presence might temper Ryan's murderous impulses in that regard. Speaking of old-timers, departed vets sure got a lot of shout-outs this week, with a Sean Donnelly reference (sad to hear about the dementia) and mentions of Gail Baldwin. I always liked both characters, Sean was an old-school, suave, swash-buckling anti-hero back in the day, going up again Cesar Faison and the Cassadines, etc. And there was always something so sophisticated, elegant, and mature about Gail. GH as it stands now desperately needs those kinds of characters.

Hmm...maybe updated vanity cards are added in post-production? I dunno. I'm LMAO agreeing but you...but my feelings are a little hurt too :-( People tell me I'm a pretty bright guy, but 4-way stops have always been a mystery to me as well. Off to night school I go... Nah, you're not missing anything. As I posted before, Penny sometimes looks like an animated character. Cute enough and pretty easy to draw, lol. Oddly enough there have been much prettier women on BBT. The other day the show where Sheldon was Raj's wing-man came on and they scored (!) at a party. The brunette actress in that episode who was not Danica McKellar was so geeky hot it was almost insane.

Remember, in this universe Penny is the hottest hottie that ever hotted. Leonard is so lucky to have her. Based on that, she gets to call the shots. Seriously though, I've been watching a lot of the old episodes lately. In the final analysis, Penny, while not unattractive, is probably just slightly above average in looks. (Yes, mileage does vary) That makes Lenny's ongoing insecurity about her all the more ridiculous.

Christie needs more than AA and GA programs. With her multiple addictions and low self-esteem she appears to need many, many hours of therapy. I have a feeling the show will address that before season's end. Sheesh, even Bonnie is more stable these days. And I'm tired of the show dumping on Wendy, the team mascot. It's gotten old.

It took me quite some time to warm up to John Ingle's Edward Quartermaine, but I eventually grew fond of his take on the character. David Lewis will now and forever be my favorite, OG Edward Quartermaine, and poor Jed Allen was so mis-cast in the role (never understood how the producers of Dallas missed casting him back in the day). All three actors really did capture Edward's love for Lila. And I always appreciated DL's and JI's grudging respect and semi-admiration for Luke "that scheming reprobate." Good times, for reals.

The worst line in soap history - Emily to Sonny: "Don't you want to bang me?" Wasn't that Ned with Brooke Lynn near the end?

Funny. For a small girl with seemingly natural boobs, there was a tremendous amount of space between them, wasn't there? Hadn't seen Sean in a long time before last night. Visually he's the perfect amalgam of both parents, and definitely has his dad's playing chops. This was the first complete episode of SNL I've seen in quite a while. I was very surprised at the overall quality, even the weaker sketches were alright. This one had a late 80s, early 90s feel to it, when it was still consistently good from week to week.

That was a few weeks ago. Thanks for that, VCRTRACKING. I corrected my last post. I didn't see her comments until yesterday. It seems like Donald caught last night's opening and wants the law to make sketches like that stop: https://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny-news-saturday-night-live-trump-courts-legal-20181216-story.html God in Heaven it really feels like we're living in some kind of bizzaro-world, alternate reality now. I read an article the other day stating that Miley was done with that kind of exhibitionism. Apparently the author was mistaken. Sad thing is, Miley's actually getting prettier as she ages, starting to look like a young Madonna, kind of. No need for her to try so hard. And her singing was actually good.

A day ago he posted on Instagram that he "didn't want to be on this Earth anymore." The next day I came across a recent Leslie Jones post about being worried that she was going to "die alone." Starting to feel like the John Belushi/Chris Farley "SNL Curse" days all over again. Except in this age of social media, tragedy can be avoided. These folks are crying out for help.

Right?! I wrote a comment last night but didn't post it. It listed two of my pet peeves: TV drivers who spend more time looking at their passenger than at the road, and TV doctors who casually disregard HIPAA because some random stranger says they know the random patient the doctor just spent five minutes with. The whole "driver looking at passenger" thing on TV drives me absolutely bonkers. Damn near every show does it, by all rights there should be hundreds of auto fatalities on the tube. I'm a great driver with almost 40 years experience behind the wheel and its all I can do to drive and hold a conversation at the same time. Yeah, I don't get it either. When you're 20-odd years out of college life, jobs, spouses, and kids take over. Time with your circle of friends has to be planned and coordinated. Seems like these folks get together every. other. damn. day. based on the condensed timeline. Totally unrealistic. And the character with the least amount of airtime (Katherine) we see at work the most, and even she has time to hang with this crew. Last week this show seemed to be coming around, now its back to the same old crap. My mom died exactly one week before Thanksgiving 37 years ago. I haven't really been able to celebrate the holiday since, don't even try actually.

I hate it when people ask if they can cut. It puts people on the spot and makes the asker seem like they think they are more important, that their lifes and their wants should come first. Wait your turn dude, you ain't all that. I've had people lean out their car window while cutting me off and say "hey I'm in hurry" - well aren't we all? What makes you so special? Gary thinks everyone should behave and feel a certain way and when they deviate from his ideals he acts like a hurt, spoiled child. Even worse was playing the Cancer card. IRL most Cancer patients/survivors wouldn't want that kind of sympathy. Even though Gary is kind of popular on this thread, his sense of entitlement is really starting to grate. Also, of all the adults on this show, only Rome/Regina (and oddly enough Katherine) aren't above one asshole-ish act per episode.

They were too busy talking over each other. They didn't even know what they were saying! She was slurring her words while chewing her cud - DISGUSTING! Man. I'm out for the foreseeable future. As much as I like Joy and Sunny, this show is a crap-fest consumed by a shit storm. Most of us who have to work for a living also have a sense of professional pride. If the panelists and TPTB went back and looked at the last week or so of shows, they should all be embarrassed - even those not guilty of bad behavior. I'll miss you guys, but I just can't with this show anymore. Will just fill the 11:00 am to noon slot with holiday movies for the rest of the year and see what else is out there come January.

Acknowledged. Still can't give BW a pass though. If she looks at this daily shit storm and is still ok with it....I don't know. And even if BW isn't what she once was, mental faculty-wise, you'd like to think someone close to her might comment on what those hires (whether she had anything to do with them or not) are doing to her legacy. Good, bad, or indifferent BW will always be associated with the View. By her own admission, Whoopi's a bit of a pig. We've all heard her wonderful anecdotes about flatulence.

Sorry for your loss. Yes, it's difficult, but it doesn't mean you get free rein to be an asshole. We both dealt with it, and moved on. A couple of days ago the discussion turned to how people associated with Trump run the risk of losing the public's respect. Then I thought about the View. Despite her quirks, I always respected Barbara Walters as a ground-breaking journalist. The View factored into that perception. Then the show hired Sherri. And Elizabeth. And now NutMeg. I really can't "see" BW the same way now. Those hires say things about her - and the showrunners' - collective judgment that I'd rather ignore, but can't. On another note, if NutMeg gets any bigger, she's going to explode. (I can say that as a hefty guy myself). She reminds me of Totie Fields sitting at the end of that table, looking like a barrel.

TH is now my second favorite Superman behind the legendary Christopher Reeve. Dude has totally nailed the part. Now that its been pointed out a couple of times I see it too. Wonder if there is/was some off-screen friction between the two. GG and MB have a wonderful brother/sister vibe, though. Funny thing is, I almost didn't recognize Alex at first. It's always amazed me how some women can change their hairstyle and look like and entirely different person. Not Kara, however. Really would have liked seeing how easily Brainy disposed of the giant robot (Amazo?) when the others working in concert couldn't. Loved Brainy as more of an action hero though.

Man, in my head I can hear Diggle reciting "In Brightest Day, in Darkness Night, No Evil Will Escape My Sight..." Still not feeling this Crossover, but I now understand why LOT wasn't included. Perhaps this whole trilogy can be salvaged in tonight's Supergirl episode. Lots of fan service in this year's event, a lot of it you don't even see coming. Have to admit I too let out a little yelp at the "World's Finest" comment. One of my favorite DC comics as a kid, even though I was a die-hard Marvel fan.

Oh, boy. Run gas station man, run! Yep, run as fast as you can, GSM. His encounter with Delilah reminds me of an old country saying: "everything's that's good to ya ain't necessarily good for ya." Agree with many here that this was the best written/acted episode of the series. If they can maintain at least this level of quality, the show might have an outside chance of making it. Before this show, I'd only seen Ron Livingston in Search Party, and he was lights out there too. Excellent supporting actor, not a lead, but he makes every scene he's in come alive. So far he's been used perfectly in this show. Re: Gary - I get the feeling that he was dealing with some kind of pain/grief/unhappiness even before the Cancer. The happy-go-lucky thing he's been doing prior to this week really seems like denial/over-compensation to me. Lord help me, Shady Ashley is starting to grow on me. She reminds me of Tony Almeda from 24 in a way, somebody so shifty that even when they're telling the truth, it still seems like they're lying, lol. I think she actually knows what the "Barbara Morgan" deal is all about. As always, Romy Malco kicks major butt. The expression on his face during the depression conversation - when his dad turned on the water, it looked like Rome was half expecting poppa to pour the pills down the sink too, it wasn't just some of us. Definitely enough in this episode to keep me sticking around for awhile longer.

NutMeg is a spoiled little snowflake that's about two decades away from adulthood. This is what happens when you let children sit at the grown folks table - they just aren't prepared to handle it. Which begs a question I've kind of asked before - even though the show is called the View, do we really need two GOP Conservatives on the panel (even though Abby seems to be trying to re-invent herself as a moderate)? Staying away from politics as much as I can, the two of them still represent what most of the Country does not. I'm not saying conservatives don't deserve a seat at the table, but there's always Fox News. I never find DL Hughley funny, but he once said whenever Fox News is on his TV, the whole house physically shifts to the Right.

The next time NutMeg does this, Joy's only response should be "Little Girl, you've got one more G-D time to tell me what I can and can't say out of my mouth." Being from basically the same generation, I'm sure Whoopi will fully understand the cultural relevance. The next time Megan has one of those outbursts, I'd like to see her chair empty after they return from commercial because the showrunners have given her a time out. Embarrassing her in that fashion may be the only was to extinguish this behavior. She may even quit the next day. Reading all the passion here has inspired me to send a link of this thread to ABC, if that's ok. ETA: Even better - if anyone knew how to get this thread to Joy and Sunny I think it would be great. They both seem to take their jobs seriously and would probably be very interested in hearing how a representative sampling of the audience perceives their product.

After his time at Y&R, I have to wonder if Billy was looking forward to GH as a fresh start with an interesting character and is pissed off at how things turned out. If he, Kelly, and Steve are all ticked off because no one is getting what they want, it's actually kind of ironic - neither are the viewers. If anyone ever asked me to name one single thing that is wrong with GH the answer would be simple: for the last 15 years or show this soap has been all about what the show runners (and sometimes actors) want and the fans are just a necessary evil.
