That was my interpretation as well. Along with the military, professional kitchens are very hierarchical, top-down, command-driven working environments. Overstepping or over-familiarity isn't looked upon kindly, especially towards the executive chef.

"If you can't tell, what difference does it make?"

Ha! Does anyone listen to his podcast? I wasn't familiar with him in more than a passing way before the show. I also didn't know about Kumail and Jonah so had to look that up; I assumed the show had made up that whole premise!

I recently discovered this show on Netflix and watched all 3 seasons in a week. I'm forever abandoning shows because I get bored but this one kept me intrigued and entertained right through to the end. Sure, but then I disliked her A LOT when she came back as Frigg. I also agree to the max about Mike turning into Dick in the last half of Season 3. He was never my favorite character but it was laughable to me that he thought he might be Odin and even more so that young, pretty Frigg would prefer him to Axl. So .. liked the actress the first time, hated the way she jumped into bed with Mike the second time. I was also a little fuzzy on Frigg's brother. Yeah yeah, protector and all, but I never picked up on the "insane" which everything else seemed to buy into. I'm glad we got a definite ending. That it was enjoyable was a bonus. I can't believe Ty had to make Dawn fall in in love with him for a third time! I got a little teary when Michele was brought back to life. Her cynical and underhanded energy seemed much more suited to Anders all along. But speaking of sexcapades, those gods sure were a bed-hopping bunch. I could have done without seeing any of Loki's horny goings-on. I would have liked to have seen clips of all the other gods/goddesses being lifted up to Aasgard during the finale -- Thor, Gaia, Eve, Helen, Michelle's mom, the boys' father. You think Agnetha was left in the tree? I also would have liked Axl to mention to Zeb that he knew about another girl who would make a good flatmate. Want to think that earthly Axl and Gaia got together eventually. Aw, grandpa will start aging now. Wonder if he'll try to pick up again with Stacey. My favorites: Ingrid, for her hippy-dippy, kind soul and sweet nature Olaf, for his stoner peacefulness Anders, for his mischievous and charming chicanery Michele, for her cunning and intelligence and beauty Could do without: Thor, because he was so pitiful and dirty Mike, for his moralizing and when he refused to use his powers to make money but then wouldn't stop whinging about having no money Loki, for becoming a boring caricature My final thought it that TV is NZ is a lot more lenient with swearing and nudity that the US!

Does Character Marc deserve credit for that much introspection? :) I tend towards Marc just being a shiftless guy who doesn't care to put himself out to make new friends. Easier to maintain the status quo.

I started watching and "Oy, Cal Harris again." Forwarded to the end to see if there was a verdict this time, but no. Seems like the odds go up for the defendant in every new trial, so I'm not optimistic for #4 even though I believe he's guilty. I co-sign about the kids. From what we've seen, it's very rare for a child not to believe/side with the living parent despite all evidence to the contrary.

For Tag Team Thursday, I wonder if they stopped showing a screenshot of the at-home player's entire page because of complaints. I for one enjoyed freeze-framing to check out all the personal info. I was intrigued enough by Chris Gethard to look up his show and add it to my DVR.

... idly watching Maron on IFC and -- not that I don't like Maron okay -- but really? The network can keep that on but not Garfunkel and Oates? I miss the show.

Oy, Marc. Along with anger management, take some acting lessons. I was rooting for the cop to arrest him, if that's the feeling the show is trying to engender for its protagonist.

I've never been to the kind of convention/trade show that has entertainment, so that was a new concept to me. Well paying or not, it's got to be a pretty thankless gig, what with people conducting business all around and not paying a whit of attention to goobers strumming onstage. It was surprising to hear Brenda say she wasn't really aware of the dangers of gestational diabetes and large birth weight when Jet was born. I mean, okay, but what about her ob/gyn? Did Brenda have zero prenatal care? It's not like 20 years ago was the dark ages. Did I hear the previews correctly that Brenda doesn't think Jair and Mary are suited for each other?

Even though we only saw maybe 2 minutes total of each contestant, I would have preferred that fuschia-haired Rachel had gone home over Marcio. But then I usually feel a little bad for whoever leaves first on a competitive show. Painting eyes on the model's breasts always seems tacky to me. Of course the GSN gallery views highlight the chests rather than, say, faces or backs.

I heard the narration as they managed rentals and owned some of them. "I heard" may or may not be what was actually said, of course

I agree they were annoying. I ended up muting rather than listening to the brunette drone on any more about the bloody kitchen. If she needed a large kitchen, then turn the entire 200 sf into one and put a couple of cots in the middle. Jeez. Of they wanted someplace to get away by themselves, go to a B & B on the weekend -- or -- here's an idea! Use one of your own vacation rental houses.

Wednesdays on GSN at 9pm Eastern. I love body painting! Same judges, same array of "artsy-look-at-me" contestants. This is one of the shows that makes me wish for a big high def screen so I can see more of the painting details. Even most newscasters in Hawaii don't use the traditional pronunciation, Rachel. I enjoyed Ru mocking the woman who pimped out her "classical training" when he was talking to the other judges. It's what we were all thinking.

I for one don't believe those spoilers one bit. Anyone can say anything. I also don't disbelieve them. They're just words.

I also liked these from on Wednesday: The Duggars: "19 Repressed Memories and Counting" "The User agrees to a little butt stuff on Apple's birthday."

The reunion show is a two-parter, so yay?

Aw, hell no! First of all, he's not married so the show would have to be "Still Skeevy: A Year Later." Secondly, I despise Sean, so yeah. The thought of watching Cilona coddling and making more excuses for him makes me gag.

What about after they watch the show? ;)

Thanks. He was so over the top about it. Jeez. I wonder how many superhero movies pass the Bechdel test. Not Spiderman or the Avengers, off the top of my head. Probably I'm just over his soapbox rants in general, even if I happen to agree with him.

Dear criminals: Always accept the plea agreement.

Does anyone have a theory about why Chris hates Entourage so much? I've never seen it but wasn't it a critical success? I remember it being nominated for awards.

Gosh, you'd almost think someone in production told the judges what Christina said about her not planning to do anything they said. But she was annoying so I'm glad to see her in the rearview. I don't specifically remember seeing any of these people on other shows, but they all still seem like retreads. Yes, yes, you're passionate about food. We got it.

I caught up on the first five episodes on You Tube and even with blurry video and mumbly audio, it was heaven. I can't say I recall exactly what each of mysteries was about or who done it, but: Dot is getting so fashionable! Aunt Prudence continues to show more facets to her character other than "old battle ax" Loved meeting Phryne's reprobate father What is Phryne going to wear and who is she going to bed this time? Sadly, not Jack yet. Vibrator! So, yeah. The mysteries are a way to show off Phryne's skills and keep her and Jack working together, but mostly I just love these characters. I've never shipped any two people as hard. Come on, writers!

If you're nervous and afraid to speak in public, Dom, then maybe this isn't the show for you. Being able to "relate" to Michelin star chefs isn't going to come in all that handy, capisce? Every challenge involves a presentation component and watching your flop sweat isn't interesting to me. Emilia the self-proclaimed "edgy food blogger" may not want to hear it, but she was Stepford.
