I love Rachel's goodbye song, think it's perfect. And YES i hated many seasons of this show, i'm just seriously vulnerable to nostalgia, so stop judging me!! Roots and Branches wrecked me all those seasons ago

In a fit of nostalgia, i'm just liking it all and not thinking about it. That's my gift to you, Glee

So sad seeing Corey, but i'm so glad they included him. Finn was always my favorite. The more lost he got post high school, the more i appreciated him.

Big time. I can't stop those split seconds where i expect him to appear

I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that this is the end.

My favorite line, from Britta: "Don't make it more dramatic than it is. It's a blood oath to defy evil. You're either in or you're out"

I believe he said "Like tears... in rain" -- part of Rutger Hauer's character's dying speech in Bladerunner.

He probably should have skipped the scratching and just did that thing where he put them together and made a time explosion (or whatever it was) to convince Cassie the watches had a magical temporal link, and just saved us all this headache!

That wouldn't work because then when he scratched his watch from the future, it wouldn't affect the watch in the past because they'd have two different pieces of crystal on them.

I'll say this first, because my watch musings below got longer than i was planning - when Cassie was like "i want to tell you things but i can't, because i must not alter the road you're on" I was like "Why not? Clearly the road he's currently on, taken without some alteration, leads to everyone dying from the virus. This is a fail-road. Might as well TRY a different one!" The watch is really consuming my thoughts. I can think of only a few possibilities (but could well be missing many more...) - that because of Cole's presence at Cassie's death, she didn't leave the message that pegged him as the one Jones needed to send back - but i follow that thought train and it leads straight to "without that message, this wouldn't be happening at all", so that doesn't work. I guess that whatever address Cassie gave him COULD somehow result in a later-Cole going back to when earlier-Cole scratched the watch, and stopping earlier-Cole from doing it, intentionally or unintentionally. Or something that happened in that scene will result in something that didn't happen in the past of thetimeline we were seeing which involves the watch getting fixed in 2016.

Was it just me or did there seem to be sort of a chill from the other contestants towards Kelly? Darla was stone cold after Kelly's critique, didn't even look at her, and there didn't seem to be the chorus of "Awwwww" when Kelly went back and announced she was eliminated.

I completely enjoyed the show -- I think I watched the first movie, maybe the first two, and it was so long ago that I don't particularly care about the passing of Cassie's husband -- I think the current set-up is good for a new show. I watch so much bleak and depressing and cynical TV that I love a little Hallmark palette cleanser, and Good Witch totally does the job. I'm in for the foreseeable future..

I'm totally loving this show. It's like putting my brain in a lavender scented bubble bath. I saw some negative reviews after the first episode, essentially seeming to say that it was too 'bland', but I can only assume they don't understand the appeal of Hallmark shows. The witness protection plot took me a little off guard - I can't imagine they'll go anywhere too extreme with it, and I was frankly shocked that it wasn't wrapped up in a single episode, but I think it's an interesting, though odd, addition.

For what it's worth guys, the avclub reviews have been a huge help for me in piecing together what's going on each episode!

I am sooooo tired of Maddie doing the "NOW KISS!" thing with Rayna and Deacon. I think she has convinced me to wish for them to be apart forever. What teenager acts like this?? I would have chewed on glass before i'd have expressed any interest in my parents' love lives at that age! Okay glad i got that off my chest. I'm kind of rooting for a Sadie/Luke pairup - finally he could put his macho bravado to good use by just whaling on her ex everytime he comes sniffing around. I'm right there with you. I liked it when she brushed him off about hanging out with her, he just smirked like "that's my bitchy girl"...

The Litterbug - a once happy family begins to fall apart when dad disposes of a Big Mac wrapper out the driver side window on a roadtrip...

I'm of mixed minds about the slap (the actual slap, not the show - I liked the show fine) -- On the one hand, I'm a prosecutor in a state where some degree of parental discipline still counts as an exception to the assault & battery statute. I've gone ahead and prosecuted cases where parents are claiming 'discipline' because I felt like it was inappropriate and unnecessary (and lost them). On the other hand, if I got this case, and the defendant had no prior criminal history, and there wasn't any allegation of injury, I'd probably offer him a suspended jail sentence, require him to take an anger management class, and put him on a year of unsupervised probation. It doesn't really ring my bells as super offensive (i.e. warranting jail time). It would probably depend on what degree of injury the kid displayed. Minor spoiler/discussion related to the preview:

I can't be too worked up about Rachel not remembering the NuNew Directions names when i watched all their episodes, and still couldn't have told you most of their names before reading them in this thread

I thought Ellie wailing on Joe was a high point. It looked good to me, like she was really whacking him into submission so she could kick the snot out of him.

I thought the final moments of the christmas episode were quite sweet! I'm assuming the mom-mention wasn't a one-off and she'll show with the lyrics eventually since apparently we're going to trial - we'll see!

Okay, Sui and his mom are making me cry too...

Not going to lie, i cried a little during Earl's 'off-parole' party! His grandma was great and his son seemed like a good kid.

Can't wait to see week 3 of the dome crisis yet. Was it turning into a snow globe when we left, i've already forgotten.

Episode two flags for me: "in my expert opinion these two women could not have been murdered by the same person!" - experts cannot testify to the ultimate issue. Pretty sure that answer would have garnered an objection. Also the non-existence of Brady requirements or apparently discovery requirements at all is still funny. The only way to get exculpatory evidence is to trick it out of the police by pretending to be with the prosecution! And by the by, revealing material alterations in a police report is not so much "embarrassing police on the stand" as it is "revealing police malfeasance" - if i was prosecuting this case, i would kind of expect to lose on those grounds alone, on appeal if not at trial. It sort of undermines the entire police conviction. I'd consider that move by the police to be spending a dollar to save a nickel as far as their reputation/effectiveness goes

Most grating Sasha moment of the week for me was her simpering at Mr. Westmore at the end of his advice to her. "Oh, classic!"
