When I read the description, I immediately thought of the Bradley Cooper episode, in which the student ran into him at the deli across the street. And they didn't disappoint -- in the scene where Barbara and Melissa were picking up their Italian subs, on the board behind the deli owner? A signed picture of one Bradley Cooper. Its those through-details that make a really great show. And this is a really. great. show.

Orlando Jones as Gregory's father remains some of the best tv casting ever in terms of resemblance and believability.

I want to love this because David Tennant makes anything great and Aidan Turner is Aidan Turner but I am just not getting into this. Is this a "you really need to have read the book to appreciate it" show?

Quoted the wrong comment. I like the idea of Ash taking Laurent to fill the void of losing his son -- we know that D & C are headed to Spain next season and it would be a good way to close the book on the messiah child story. Funny, because I hated the kid the first season but he's finally grown on me the past two episodes, because he's acting like a normal kid and not some all-knowing, all-feeling whatever. . . .

The catacombs in Paris are indeed very real. https://www.catacombes.paris.fr/en# There's many, many steps you have to take to get down into the catacombs. Unrelated to the convo but what I think of every time I see them in a show or movie . . . I had a ticket to tour them but blew out my knee and spent the day with an ice pack on my knee. I was really upset as the catacombs were one of my absolute musts on that trip. . . they apparently are quite something to see, and easy to get lost in (but they don't allow tourists into a lot of the areas. This was a good episode -- they moved the plot along nicely and Coudron is a good addition to both the badassery and redemption themes that define Carol and Daryl's character arcs.

Well, France does fit inside the state of Texas, so..... (Not saying Texas is small, just saying France is smaller than Texas. And that I look for every opportunity to share this random fact.)

I lasted about 5 minutes longer than you. This just dragged on and on and on and on.....I ff-ed to the last minute to see if there was any wrapup. You are not alone.

Kumail's abs will forever remind me of Hasan Minaj's rant about said abs: NSFW language warning:

I burst out laughing when Eugene Levy spit on Richard Kind and Richard Kind punched him in the nose. That entire scene between the three of them is a master class in comedic build-up. The hand-off of the casual mention of improv and the first "yes and" was so subtle it could have been easily missed. Those three playing off each other was GOLD. I'm not a big Eva Longoria fan, so I guess she was fine. Out of stellar performances by all, Kumail Nanjiani stole this episode --- like, give him the best actor in a guest appearance scene theft. The switch from Mr. Christmas-All-the-Time fitness influencer people pleaser to JFC I hate Christmas real person was so well done. And the "my parents are so disappointed in me" just sealed the deal. Well, that. And the abs. I caught "George Swinebrenner" and "Gloria Swine-em" but didn't catch the actual name at the end. Anyone?

Am I the only one watching this? Its very well done!

They do.

Awww . . . Matty and Laura got married this weekend -- he put a video and pics on his Insta. Looks like he invited all of his competitors from his season there. Dan isn't in the group picture but there's a glimpse of him in the video. ❤️

I binged it--I thought it was cute! Yeah, some of what happened would never be brushed off in the real world but tv is escapist--none of it happens in the "real world"--thats kinda the point. We all need a Wilbur in our lives! I hadn't seen the lead actress before--she's adorable!

That married couple is everything wrong with religion. He is a cheater but God forgives him (did God call him and tell him?), she forgives him because she's the best wife ever, they do counseling with a pastor and the pastor's friggin' wife -- who I highly doubt has any formal training in marital counseling; the pastor talks about how the husband had to see the "threat" of what he would lose -- because yeah, guilt and blackmail are always a GREAT way to make a person feel they can be open and honest; the wife can't pat herself on the back enough for forgiving him, and the husband is living his life in fear. All because "RELIGION." The culmination of the hypocrisy is how they pretend to be shocked that the website is still up and running and how the husband says that the website is evil. But yeah, tell us again how you've changed and accept responsibility for what you did? Sure. Its the website . . . that no one made you sign up for, or send messages on. And what about long before the website when he was going to strip clubs and hitting on the wife's friends and banging one (or more?) of their mutual acquaintances? Whose fault is that? Those buildings are evil! Those social engagements where he has to be around other women are wrong! But tell us again how he's changed, everything is great, the website is the problem, and she is the standard to which all wives should aspire. The stopwatch on him reverting to form is running, if he hasn't already. And once again, she'll legitimately not understand how or why and be hurt, and wonder "how could he do this to me again?" Because, bitch! He did it to you before and he is not a monogamous person! You've actively chosen to live in willful ignorance. You get what you get! Fool me once . . . The world would be a lot better off if people would just accept who they truly are -- in this case, not monogamous -- rather than try to pretend otherwise because of arbitrary societal and religious "norms." So let's see. If you don't give kids condoms, they won't have sex. If you ban abortion, women won't have them. If you don't have a website, people won't cheat. Got it. Now excuse me while I go live in reality with my head NOT buried in sand.

I was watching a "behind the scenes" video with the key players of this episode and that's exactly what they said "Always a Twist" was supposed to be--all of the music returning and once and exploding into the number. Side note -- 15 and Ruby's umbrellas in the very last scene were a practical necessity -- apparently it poured that entire day in Cardiff and they realized they had the colorful umbrellas from the dance scene on hand, so they incorporated them at the end. RE: the other posters commenting about the doctor being fearful and running away -- maybe it has something to do with the soul split? Didn't 15 say something like he can't survive that again? Maybe 14 got the id and 15 got the ego --its always all been in the same individual before so the fear was more easily tempered? Throwing out brainstorms. . . . I think RTD set up the ability for there to have wackiness with the Tennant/Tate special espisode on the ship at the edge of the universe. How is whatever might have come back with them affecting things? I'm interested in finding out Ruby's lineage. The companions having something special about them doesn't bother me as it does others. Different strokes!
