She now can't properly remember 90% of her scenes of the show and its ethically kinda of a terrible thing to do her even if she wants it.
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.

There was a noticeable jump in ratings, but if this is what he gives us, I wouldn't be surprised if people switch the channel after Grey's Anatomy next week.
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.

And now I’m convinced that Lucy Coe is on some strong hallucinogenic drugs. Her behavior today at her book launch wasn’t even funny or entertaining. It was embarrassing for the show and especially, this actress.
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.

My prediction is that Ryan will get caught when he attempts to kill Laura. Laura’s new BFF Carly will walk in and interrupt things, then Jason will swoop in and save them both, killing Ryan in the process.
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.

On Young Sheldon the vanity card had a picture of a photographer from the Globes so now I don’t know what to think.
Hmm...maybe updated vanity cards are added in post-production? I dunno.

I haven't even gotten to my co-workers yet.
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.

And speaking of babies, it annoyed me all over again that Penny unilaterally decided they wouldn't have a family.
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.

Christy isn't likable at all anymore.
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.

Thinking about the time when David Lewis was the male lead on the show compared to what Maurice Bernard currently brings to the table. Well ..... another year this side of the daisies - Happy New Years!
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.

Astronomers at Cal Tech have now calculated the exact distance between each of Miley Cyrus' boobs by employing the parallax method.
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.

The next day Leslie Jones had a post about being worried that she was going to "die alone."
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:

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.

Did something happen to Pete? I seem to have missed something since several of you have mentioned being concerned for him
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.

What is with TV doctors just telling anyone that one of their patients is pregnant? I mean, unless it's patently obvious, how about protecting your patient's privacy?
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.

How do people of this age find ALL THIS TIME to hang out with each other, even showing up to see Eddie off on his tour, after having just spent the evening with him?? This is something 22 year olds might do ,but how do all these forty-somethings manage it? Even if I HAD the time, I don't have the energy or inclination.
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.

I agree that Maggie and Gary were annoying in that scene. Letting someone with only one item go in front of is nice but expecting it is just obnoxious. That is part of the reason that I hate them together. Gary was also obnoxious when he when he insisted on singing karaoke at the noodle place. I am getting really tired of Gary’s bad behavior being rewarded.
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.

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.

Barbara Walters had nothing to do with the hiring of Meghan. She'd already left the show two or three years prior to that.
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.

Based on what I've been reading, MM continues to use the following excuses for her
baseless opinionsbad behavior/claims/anger:1. "My father died and....." 2. "But what about..." 3. "When Obama/Hilary..." 4. "As a Republican..."
As for the first - We have all lost a parent who we loved and sometimes it's been sudden/unexpected and sometimes we know it will come and sometimes we are aware but still not quite prepared. She had a year of knowledge that her father was going to die. I lost my mother and we knew it would arrive sooner than we would like and slowly prepared emotionally. We leaned on each other and talked a lot about her (my mother had Alzheimer's) as we gathered with her. When she finally took her last breath (I was blessed to be holding her with my sister when it happened), I truly felt at peace and in a weird way a sense of happiness for her. I do talk about her or mention her at least once a day but not in a poor me I lost my mother, but in just conversation. And I still cry but it's a momentary sadness because I believe that she is happy where she is. As someone upthread said, we can't fight death, death needs to be accepted because that is a part of life.
For the second - Yes, what about the orange guy continually changing his past, his justifications, his lack of civility and respect towards others, his greed, his just awful demeanor. And how can she defend him after what she said at her father's funeral?
For the third - You (MM) continually remind us to "get over it, you (I'm assuming Democrats) lost", yet continually bring them up. Why?
And finally - How about "As a human being..." Or "Looking at everything that has been said, I think..."
(Sorry, I hope I didn't go to off-topic. It's just that she does makes me so mad.)
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.

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.

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.
On 12/6/2018 at 2:42 PM, HazelEyes4325 said:As for Ashley, the only time she's remotely interesting is when she's with Gary, so let them hook up every couple of episodes to keep her relevant.
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.

I can see that Joy enjoys a little "friendly" give and take. She can argue and be teased without hard feelings, but Meghan CANNOT! Everything is win/lose for her. There's no moderation in that woman...and someone needs to help her put on the brakes--in every aspect of her life.
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.

It was the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990. When Joy complimented the late President Bush and said Tr*mp is trying to undo everything Bush 41 and Obama did and added that were she to become a single-issue voter, it would be on the environment (this is a paraphrase).
Miss Piggy's Less Attractive sister then whined, "Can we focus on the President (i.e. HW Bush) please. I don't want to talk about Trump." There was some cross talk, but Meghan didn't let that interrupt her interruption, even though some of the crosstalk was Whoopi. She went on to blather something like, "If we're honoring a great president."
Joy tried to reclaim the floor and said, "Excuse me" a couple of times, and started again. "I want to talk the different..."
Meghan continued her interruption: "But I'm not interested in your one-issue voter [something] when the president just passed..."
Joy's voice then rose. "I don't care what you're interested in. I'm talking."
Then Meghan dialed up her shriek setting. "Well, I don't care what you're interested in, either." She sounded like a fucking fourth grader (my apologies to well-mannered fourth graders).
Then Whoopi cut to break. That's as far as I've gotten.
What a fucking joke she is. ABC News should be ashamed of itself for hiring this petty, no-talent hack, with the personality of the perpetually hungover.
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.

S04.E10: Suspicious Minds
in Supergirl
· Edited by Winston Wolfe
I picked up a recent Supergirl comic - in that universe Kara does wear a brunette wig with a different hairstyle. That could almost work for me - women can change their hair coloring and style and look like entirely different people sometimes.
