Ah, yes, now I remember. The best breast test in the West. Excluding Portland.

I noticed they've fixed the jerking camera work. Wonder how someone thought it was a good idea in the first place. Or we will never see the chaplain again (unless they find a way to have Steve Carell play his father in a future episode). It really wasn't very virtuous of him to (a) lie about his credentials and (b) to hold a grudge like that against someone who caught him. It's not clear how this Catholic hospital hired him to begin with. From what I'm reading, to be a chaplain one needs to be certified by some official organization, and that often requires a divinity degree. So he must have produced some certificate when he applied, right? And now Joyce can just hire him back and the hospital's Catholic supervisory board will be okay with that? Have they said where this show is set that they have rattlesnakes slithering around biting surgeons? California? I keep questioning Bruce's qualifications. I probably wouldn't want someone operating on me if he may think that maybe he should cancel the surgery because Uranus is in the wrong phase for a Capricorn or whatever. But I did like the demonstration of why it's not a good idea to have surgeons help with carrying heavy objects.

The thing about that special additive to plastic explosives that dogs are supposed to react to is that, well, it’s an additive and can be left out when you are making those explosives. It would be illegal to do that, per the Montreal Convention Morgan mentioned, but certainly not impossible. So if we have an untrained dog that is not barking at something, that in itself doesn’t mean that there is no bomb there. Maybe that particular dog was a trained bomb-sniffing dog, I don’t know, but in that case Morgan’s info would be irrelevant since they are trained to sniff out the explosives themselves. Here’s a great article on training bomb-sniffing dogs - https://science.howstuffworks.com/bomb-sniffing-dog.htm

Yeah, I didn’t see any realization on Sass’s part that he is attracted to Jay. I only saw the realization that he wasn’t actually dating Marissa and the disappointment at that. This is why he immediately jumped at Pete’s offer. (I loved how Trevor was all over it too and was trying to “put in an order” for a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and calling Sass selfish when Sass wanted to keep Pete’s services for himself only.) My guess is budget Interestingly, while they are saving money not paying their stars, at the same time they are collecting what I assume is extra money prominently plugging things like Amazon Prime and Paramount+. I didn’t notice product placement in this episode, but it’s possible there was something in it, too. Or maybe it was Davenport Chevrolet… “I was dating a saguaro cactus for a week. He was sweet. Great listener.”

It dries to a purplish hue… I died 😄. Yeah, Pete, “everybody should have carrots at dinner”? They warned us about people like you! There’s sure to be extraterrestrials too, but we haven’t met any so far. But yes, it makes total sense for the show to use Pete’s “spectral pimping” to find someone for Sass. Although, if you can travel to Budapesht, would you go to the middle of nowhere in Upstate NY?

A dolphin or a sunflower? How is this even a question? The dolphin, of course the dolphin, what sunflower? This was truly an excellent episode, imo, written and acted really well. The sequence where Georgie tells Audrey that they will spend Thanksgiving with Mary, then lets it slip that he is surprised she understands, she gets offended and Jim evacuates him out of there was pitch-perfect. Mary telling Georgie “I have a foot too and do you want to know where I want to put it” was 100 percent BBT’s Mary. I even loved the brother’s accordion-turkey number even without everyone’s reaction to it, which only made it better. The whole bit with Missy’s tattoo (“Good call on the socks” - “I am not stupid”, and Mary pulling one down with a “what’s this?” at the picnic) was really nicely done. And, of course, the switch in tone to show Mary’s feelings - just perfect.

The more I think of it, even though the hostage takers demanded that the police find the real murderer and release their friend, they only needed their friend to be released. They had no way of knowing anything about the reopened investigation or its results. The police didn’t have to do anything but simply could have released the friend (keeping him under surveillance) and told them that the real murderer has been caught, so please release the hostages, thank you very much.

Ah, you are right. I completely misunderstood that scene. After he wasted time trying to diagnose a tropical disease in a flu patient, I thought he was doing it again during code blue, and then I took Ron’s “which is rare, but it happens” as sarcasm. I stand corrected. There is hope for his character yet, although wasting three extra surgeries a week worth of time on dancing in the OR is not nothing.

I thought it was pretty bad if you like to watch things that make sense. From that Risk game that you can win by moving your troops while nobody's watching because they are arguing about the tactics of 'Alexander the Blessed' to someone thinking that taking a bunch of hostages and threatening to shoot them is a good way to make the police find the 'real' murderer (like, today?) to Morgan mocking the guy for believing that his bomb is real while said guy is pointing a quite real gun at her (right after the murderer was caught and the guy knocked out his partner because... reasons). And the dialog! Good God... "There are others in this building that are there to keep your brothers and sisters in blue at bay." "The man who saved your life is behind enemy lines right now." "Seems to me you've got bigger worries than a mother hugging her daughter, considering the situation we are in." (like what? seems like the situation is what they've been planning all along, no?) "That girl was our insurance policy... and you let her go!" (well, she was never part of the plan, so we are back to the good plan we had all along, no?) My favorite part though was when Jeremy got pissed at having to sit like idiots in the room with the hostages after having taken those hostages and forcing them to sit in the room with him.

Except this guy is 100 percent incompetent and should be fired immediately, his origin story notwithstanding. Perry Cox he is definitely not. I liked the cast, the stories and the characters (except for the above). I do hope they find a cameraman with steady hands if they insist on not using stationary cameras. The way the camera was jerking back and forth constantly, I thought there was something wrong with my TV.

Hijinks ensue! 😆 Yes, they would have to meet Michael Jackson’s brother the innkeeper, wouldn’t they…. Did we all just write an episode?

Well, it’s not about his personal safety for Pete, I don’t think. The fact that your girlfriend murdered someone (with a pitchfork, was it?) just might make you question her moral character, and that is important for some people. But I like the idea that not being a mass murderer makes it not a big deal. “But I’m not a mass murderer! It was one time!” 🤷‍♂️ Don’t we all see ourselves younger than we actually are and belonging to the modern society? I know I do. There are a lot of young adults where I work, and one of them commented once that I am just like her father in how I drink my coffee. I was thinking, “whoa, your father? Oh yeah, I am old enough, aren’t I…”

Did Trevor have a death certificate? Considering that he disappeared and his remains were not found until modern times, right? Sorry, I don’t mean to be morbid, I’ve just never thought about these things, so I am genuinely interested.

Gone With The Wind, Sam? Where did this come from? “Thor told a relevant sphincter story” 😃 How does this work? When I die, how will the Social Security Administration know that my number is no longer active? Is there a form someone will have to fill out about that? And if I were to get Michael Jackson’s SSN somehow and give it to HR at my new job, would the SSA really get back to them and say “wait a minute, this is Michael Jackson’s number…”?

Okay, this was not bad. Whoever said last week that we need to see Mandy and Georgie interact with some friends - genius. Even the brother looked like a person for a change, although still very Sheldon-like.
