I'm guessing that's not nearly the last we've seen of Frank. It's inevitable that Jake will need to reset at some point and wipe out the murder, either because it had unintended consequences in Harry's life, because being a cold-blooded killer starts to tear Jake apart, or for yet unknown reasons #2, #3, etc. I also think Duhamel is too big a name to only show up in two episodes!

You know one of the set shots they use of a TV from a viewer's perspective? Can anybody with a larger TV than me tell what those tchotkes are? There's a hot pink orchid on the right, then something that looks like a flat oval wooden tray with a smaller tray on top of it in the middle, then some kind of small metallic figurine on the left. The other shot they use is the TV on a mantel with white roses in a small vase and I want to say a carving of the letter S on the left. I never thought about it before, but when the apocalypse is nigh, I'm with Blake about going out in a blaze of drag queen diamonds. Why the hell not. Guess we now know how Emerson stays so thin. "He hates everything!" Except cheese. I like the new couple's couch, so there's that. Never seen Joe Resnick laugh that loud or be as animated as he was during Broad City. And Princella didn't even make Rashawn cover his eyes during that naked breast scene! Blackish was also cracking up all the couchies. I watched that episode and the dad finally told the twins where their names Jack and Diane came from. They were shocked. Heh. Dog Watch: I don't know how Julie and Brandy's dogs aren't waddly fat by now with all the Doritos, but ladies? Once Pee Wee pees on your throw pillow? Maybe it's time to take him for a walk. Oh, and rinse out the pillow! The new couple have an adorable dog (Nino?), although a little less so when vomiting. I did laugh at Budd having that sympathetic gagging reaction from smelling or looking at puke. The Resnicks' Vizsla wasn't in evidence, but the pug-looking one sure enjoyed the bulldog at Westminster. Destiney was actually hugging her dog, which may be a first.

Sorry, SnarkKitty. Sometimes we all just get that instant dislike going on. I though it was sweet when New Guy was so concerned about New Gal tearing up over Walking Dead. Although my first impression is that she seems like the type of person whose emotions come out in tears a lot of the time ...

When I watch MAFS, I always think about the movie "The Way We Were" with Barbra Streisand pursuing Robert Redford. When I was young (ahem) I had a girl-next-door, Kit Hoover kind of cuteness going on, which naturally some men are into and others are not. I had a crush on one of the latter type of guys at work, and made it a point to woo him -- flirting, joking, asking him out for lunch. We started dating and eventually got married, but you know the outcome, right? He left when he happened to meet someone who was exactly his type. Did he ever love me? Of course, but I never, ever hit that sweet spot with him on looks. When I subsequently experienced one of those immediate, urgent thunderbolts myself, I could see in hindsight that what I had with my first husband was, in comparison, a pale and milky sort of love.

It might be an unpopular opinion, but I really enjoy the casting episode and would love more in-depth info on the "instruments" themselves as well as detailed explanations of the matches. "They were both bullied" is such a crock! I think the experts are both ill-prepared and ill-used by the producers, but surely there must be reasons beyond the ridiculous sound bites we're given. Which is ridiculous, right? Neil is a self-contained hipster with a very dry sense of humor while Sam pulls faces and acts the fool. Those are entirely different "quirks."

I didn't even notice that Laurie Metcalf was missing! Sheldon actually loves his mother, so that was odd not to have her there. They could at least have spared one line in the script explaining that she was on another cruise for Jesus or something.

I'm not sure why -- maybe because of the similar straw man fallacy? -- but the bit reminded me of Ben Carson taking so much time recently to bash ... Obama. Who is not running for anything! Hasn't even endorsed one of the Dems.

Oh, show. There is no possible circumstance that would convince me that Sheldon left town without Leonard and Penny noticing, or that Sheldon himself wouldn't have brought it up in conversation. The packing and clothing labeling! The ride to the airport! The worrying! I can't just assume that P/L were themselves out of town or otherwise hand wave it away. There's also Amy to consider -- she knows everything Sheldon does and discusses most of it with Penny and Bernadette. As others have mentioned, Beverly doesn't celebrate birthdays. There are hundreds of other ways that Beverly's presence in Pasadena could have been explained. It's exasperating when the writers can't get out of their own way. I also agree that what was once an exclusionary, single-minded dedication to science on Beverly's part has now morphed into raging assitude. Even though Sheldon doesn't really like Kripke or Leslie, they are still familiar entities and therefore comfortable, and maybe even comforting, to him. Having them at the party didn't seem out of place to me. I only wish Cousin Leo had been there! Would have given Toby more scope for his acting.

I was watching Big Bang and it occurred to me that Wil Wheaton hasn't been on in a while. Maybe he's busy, but the show takes very little time to do as a guest. I always enjoyed him.

Who knows for sure, but my suspicion is that their sex life is not that hot. Like, at all.

I would give this a thousand likes if (1) that were allowed and (2) it wouldn't bust your notifications panel. Looking back, I'm not sure why I even watched as many episodes of the show as I did since Lorelai grated so much. So very taken with herself, she was. I guess I was still somewhat entertained by Rory's arc and did like most of the Stars Hollow secondary characters.

I wouldn't mind an episode in which Eliot in particular is brought low. I enjoy him as is, but nobody can swan through life like without any sentiments deeper than selecting the perfect accessories for each outfit.

I've always had a minor quibble with the term abortion clinic. In my experience -- which is "a few states where I've lived" -- there is no such thing as a medical clinic that only does abortions. There are clinics such as Planned Parenthood that provide standard ob/gyn services as well as abortions, and doctors in private practice who perform abortions in their own offices. Or perhaps that's illegal now, too? My experience was a while ago. I am heartened that Plan B remains available OTC.

Now I'm nitpicking, but couldn't the show have mustered up a bit of CGI to show the ropes unraveling themselves and sort of dancing away? The close-up shots looked like the actors just manually shook them off.

I'm seeing it most recently in Married at First Sight -- one of the brides from season one is named Jamie.

I wasn't sure if that scene aired on the longer FYI version of Part 1, but I found it very enjoyable! David was not having any of it, no sir. He spent a few regretful/nostalgic minutes by their chalkboard before defiantly erasing it. I'm sure he was pissed at the time, but he has said in subsequent media interviews that he always felt their marriage, and relationship, deserved some time after the cameras went away, simply because the atmosphere of the show was not normal and promoted actions/responses that were similarly not normal. In my mind, he's referring to the producers constantly egging him to say how much he liked Ashley and believed in their marriage. (Which he didn't need to do, obviously, but if anybody's a pleaser, it's David.) SMH to hear that David's being childish and snotty on social media now. Grow up, people!

I can pretty much roll with minor typos and grammatical errors, but it always annoys me when people misspell the names of characters/contestants. Look it up if you're not sure! Or, you know, pay attention to the thread title that has the name spelled correctly. There's probably also a research study in there about why so many people type "Jamie" as "Jaime".

I love John Oliver but am not gonna pay premium channel fees just for him. The show does make more content available on You Tube than you'd think they would, luckily.

Either I'm forgetting something or Jake didn't have any obstacles thrown up when he was carrying out his plan to murder Dunning, even though he experienced so many of them in Dallas. It seems like "the past" has a hierarchy of minor vs major changes that it's going to resist.

Great show last night. Was this the first time Trevor did everything but the interview standing up? It's not seeming odd too me any more, but it does make the show come off more as comedy and less as news. I'm enjoying watching him gradually make the show his own.

Tres and Vanessa are staying together. Sam went first and said that she had become a better person through knowing Neil, cherishes him, and definitely wants to stay married. Neil said he agreed and was wholeheartedly committed to ... a divorce. That's when Sam ran out. Neil said too much of their time together had been unhappy for him, despite any very recent changes Sam had tried to make. Sounded like he never really forgave her for her ugly behavior early on. Sam and Neil met up on a later day to have a final discussion since Sam left the taping after Neil told her no. She was deliberately blithe and insisted she was fine when Neil apologized. She brushed everything off as a learning experience. She said she was on her way to Costa Rica and had to run. She did manage to accuse Neil of never telling her what he felt the whole time, so pretty much her last word was to lay the blame on him for their communication problems. Neil, to the camera: We had plenty of time to talk if that was what she wanted.

Add in the kid judge not getting it and thinking Kevin was just weird had me laughing pretty hard myself.

I'm not sure if people are pitted against each other, but I'm watching three current shows: 11.22.63, The Magicians, and The Shannara Chronicles. I just saw a short post in one of those non-book threads that twice used the phrase "in the book." I haven't read any of the books and being repeatedly spoiled or led astray, depending on how closely the TV show will adhere to the book, is bringing out my petulant side. But the mods are good about removing the "in the book" posts fairly quickly. In the end, all book talk is off topic in TV show threads.

There seems to be room for interpretation, but it appeared to me that Scottie was kidnapped, forced to write the note, then hanged to make it look like suicide.

I did get a laugh out of Mary Lynn's little diatribe about, "Oooh, I don't have a penis to make dick jokes about!"
