  1.  

    Is it just me that thinks it is perfectly okay for a teenager/young adult to experience heartbreak?

    If this show has taught us anything, it's that the Browns believe that heartbreak and misery should be reserved for marriage.

  2.  

    I thought Josh mentioned in the past he was going to try to lure Freddy back.

    It was worse than that -- he said (I think on after the catch, or the bait) that of COURSE Freddie would come back, because Freddie loved his father so much.  Ignoring that he himself had left Freddie in the lurch after Freddie stood by the CM instead of taking other jobs after Phil died.  And despite what we all saw on camera, that Freddie hero worshipped Keith (AND made a hell of a lot more money with him than he had with Phil).

     

    Maybe Josh has been humbled, but it will be very hard for me to forgive his treatment of Derek until he apologizes for it.   Plus I don't like all the pretending -- even Johnathan and Andy have been rolling their eyes at him the last couple of years when the topic comes up.  

     

    Re: the captain's thing, Sig said in an interview once that they don't need captains licenses, though he (and I think Keith and Monty) have them because you get a break on insurance and various other things.

  3. I guess it's easy enough to prove if he can come up with a copy of the restraining order (or some internet sleuth does so).  MJ swore on her son's grave about it.  Wonder if that would shift Kandi's mind.

     

    I have no use for Iyanla after watching her methods on Starting Over.  However, if she were to stick MJ in a cage, as she did one unfortunate Starting Over houseguest, in order to teach her something or other... that I'd tune in for.

     

    In fact, that's where she should have spent Kandi's wedding -- in a cage next to the lion.  She'd have outsnarled him.

  4. It will be interesting to figure out what "semi conservative" means.  She lives with her fiance, but they are waiting for marriage.  Is he similarly religious, or just patient? 

     

    It will take me a while to decide if she's truly just a nice quiet person who has been keeping her mouth shut but is starting to express her real opinions (not unusual as you get older, especially if you grew up being "the nice one").  Or maybe she's just super passive aggressive.  Hard to tell, yet, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt until I see more.

  5. Yes, when Janelle turns her head, she looks like one of her daughters in profile.  I never saw it before (except the wide set eyes). 

     

    Mariah scored a lot of points with me last night.  College is loosening her up.  Getting free of her mom's grasp even moreso, most likely.

     

    I can see why Janelle and Kody are in a good place.  Look at the others -- Robyn is yammering about the jewelry business and needing suppooooooooort!  Christine is running him ragged about quality time with each of his 700 children and trying to cram a week's worth of family time into the four hours he's at her house, and Meri's sobbing about Mariah.  He goes to Janelle's, sits down, puts his feet up, and she probably sits companionably beside him and brings him bowls of ice cream and popcorn.  What's not to like?

     

    I want to know what's in the damn backpack.  Does he carry his dirty clothes from place to place?  If he can own four freakin' homes, he can have a couple of pair of jeans, underwear and three shirts in each one, can't he?

  6. Phil owned 25% or less of it, despite the show referring to him the entire time as the owner.  Split among all his children, that didn't leave Josh much of a share (even if he only left it to Jake and Josh).  And I don't think he owned any quota, or not enough to fish on by itself.

     

    Maybe Cornelia Marie sold her shares to some kind of silent partnership and Josh is the lead guy, but I don't see how he could possibly qualify for a boat loan based on his track record.  Though I suppose I'd say the same about Elliott.  And I think I saw lately some reference to some cannery owning the Saga, so Elliott's "ownership" is also dubious.

  7. I think the CM is under the size where an actual "captain's license" is necessary.  Hopefully the people who actually own the ship and the gear are insisting on an experienced man to run it, whether he's a licensed captain or not. 

     

    However, I have no doubt that this person will be introduced to us as a relief skipper, while Josh will be sitting in the big boy seat... at least while the cameras are on.

  8. Joyce tells Kandi mean & hurtful stuff, Kandi doesn't defend Todd or Carmon. Kandi then repeats this mean and hurtful stuff to Todd and Carmon and expects, doesn't want them to say anything ,to Joyce about it, because it won't change Joyce.and she won't have to be in a confrontation and worry about taking sides.

     

    Oh, I think she knows EXACTLY what she's doing.  (At least subconsciously.)  It's totally passive aggressive.  She tells Todd what he's up against, but then she tells him not to do anything about it, to give herself permission for having "betrayed" her mother.   Then if he goes ahead, she "tried her best."   She knew Todd would deal with it, and wanted him to. 

     

    That said, Kandi?  You're planning on having a child with this man, right?  A child who will be the grandchild of the people your mother is slandering.  Think about that a bit before you shrug off the garbage she's putting into your child's permanent family memory vault.

  9. Apropos of not much, it occurred to me that aside from the obvious, the reason Detective Plywood is so attractive with his shirt off is that he doesn't have gigantic, distracting tattoos of bulls (Dante) or geese (Patrick) or whatever the hell it is that the guy who plays Nikolas has. 

     

    Just pure, unadulterated, gratuitous superficial partial male nudity.

  10. Interesting that Carole will instantly chime in on LuAnn using the term "Indian" to describe her own ancestry, but George can grope her "friends" and she'll play a scene with him reminiscing about the time he "initiated" her with the squirting orgasm talk. 

     

    Say what you will about Ramona, she is openly contemptuous of him which is what he deserves, and I have no doubt that if she saw him act similarly to Avery or any young woman, Ramona wouldn't giggle, but would march up, pull the girl away and give him holy hell.   I suspect LuAnn would, too, though probably in the form of asking security to remove him.

     

    Frankly, I don't know that Carole, Sonja, or Kristen would do a damned thing if they saw George pull the same crap on an 18 year old girl, except tell her "that's just George" and "keep your distance if you don't want more of the same."

  11. I forget when the fall sweeps are, but something like November?  So that's about when Ava's baby will be born (pregnancy SORAS)? 

     

    Because that means the rest of the year we're going to have to believe that Ava's survival depends on turning Sonny around on her before the baby is born as opposed to, oh, I don't know, just killing him.  Of course first she'd have to have the opportunity to get close to him.  Oh, wait, she lives in the same house with him.

     

    Same for Julian.  He has to send an innocent man to jail and break the heart of the daughter of the woman he loves (who is the daughter of that man) in order to save his family from the Evil Man Who Shot His Son In Cold Blood.  You know, instead of just killing him.

  12. Poor Olivia -- where are her psychic visions for anything useful?  Guess the LSD wore off.

     

    Ifeel bad for the actress who plays Sabrrrrinaaaa having to do this storyline when pregnant.  Don't know that I'd want my mind going there.

     

    Morgan and Detective Plywood should team up.  They could trade parent stories while tossing back beers and join forces to bring down the mob.  Maybe Dante would join them.  But I'd trust Joss before Dante when it comes to Sonny.

  13. I like Kandi, but I'm thinking the entire wedding storyline is performance art.  I prefer to think she and Todd had a justice of the peace come to a resort somewhere where they were gathered with closest friends and family, and the rest of this nonsense is just her idea of a kickass party/made for tv movie.

     

    Low key "real" wedding followed by blowout "play" wedding partially at Bravo's expense.  No real pressure because you've already exchanged genuine vows.

  14. Uner Guza's regime, I was aware that we were supposed to truly believe that Jason only killed people who needed killing.  And everybody should just get off his back about it, okay?  But this Sonny/Ava/Carly thing is even worse.

     

    I'd like to think that Morgan is speaking for the audience, that we're seeing a shift to Sonny and Carly being the Bad People, and start seeing events that will take them down.  But I lived through Olivia coming to town and ranting about that lowlife Sonny and we all know what became of that.  And I've seen the youtube clips of Alexis at the funeral calling them out.  And we know where that led.

     

    Are we supposed to be rooting for Carly to get cold blooded murder on her hands because Ava had the audacity to sleep with her son  (while protecting the cold blooded murderer of her other son's father?)  It's not like Carly gave a crap about Connie, so this is about Morgan.   Are we supposed to be rooting for Sonny to get away with AJ's murder and eventually Ava's, while being stirred by the nobility of his protecting the unborn?  Are we supposed to salute Sonny's decision that he simply must murder Ava because if he doesn't, she will eventually spill the beans about AJ's murder, forcing Sonny to have to lie to Michael about having done it, and he can't abide any more lies?   It's not even that he doesn't want to get caught -- it's that he doesn't want to lie to Michael, so murder is easier? 

     

    It could work if underlying it was the understanding that Sonny's wrong, and deluded, and a coward, and the truth will come out and will have greater consequences than a declaration of eternal hatred that's evaporated by the next family barbecue.  But I think we have to assume that that's not in the cards.

  15. Carole's blog reminded me that I learned that Sonja had been married twice.  So who was the other guy?  I had been under the impression that she saved herself for Mr. Morgan.  

     

    Maybe that explains why she claims to have had money before Morgan, even though she was a restaurant hostess.  If she got a settlement for somebody else...

  16. Yes, I think Ramona has spent a lifetime not understanding why sometimes she says something perfectly logical (inside her brain) and suddenly everybody around her gets "that look" and what follows is a lecture or a fight.  She may not know exactly what she said triggered it, but she can recognize from the expressions around her that she's blown it yet again and there's about to be hell to pay.  So she blusters, and then she runs.  She can't really defend herself because she doesn't really understand what went wrong - it's like we're all an alien race and our ways are incomprehensible to her.

     

    That doesn't excuse her, by the way, but I think that's what's happening.  One on one she can often mend fences right away, but in a group she panics. 

     

    George is a walking billboard for everything "#yesallwomen" is about.  And Carole and Kristen's reactions to him are everything we need to knock off doing in reaction to it.

  17. The Real Abraham's father was a Patriot--not a Loyalist.

     

     

    And the real Simcoe was apparently a wonderful person, respected by both sides for being fair and kind.  Historians are unhappy that he's been made this level of villain.  I always wonder that myself about historical dramas.  As much as I love them, I don't get why they don't just make up a character rather than assassinate the character of somebody who has an actual historical record of being a pretty good guy.  It's not like most of us ever heard of him, so using a different name would hardly make a difference.   

     

    Puff up the good qualities of your historical heroes if you must, but you really shouldn't make monsters out of people who weren't even considered bad guys at the time. 

     

    Maybe Abraham's father will eventually turn, or reveal he's been a Patriot all along. 

  18. Serious question: Knowing of his instability, how on earth can Elliott be insured as a captain? Who would be crazy enough to write that policy?

     

     

    The insurance companies don't appear to mind Edgar lighting people on fire INSIDE the NW, or the Time Bandit guys shooting shotguns at icicles - God only knows what they do care about.

     

    I suspect fireworks are now forbidden on the Time Bandit after that guy got his hand blown off (at least until the case is settled, at least on camera), but I never understood Edgar and fire, especially indoors, especially when they constantly talk about fire being the most terrifying thing at sea.
