He didn't imply it he actually said it, not an exact quote b/c I don't remember the exact words but basically "Good luck winning challenges without me". As a parting shot it was about as stinging as the classic "Oh Really" True but at the same time it's Outlast and it's impossible to outlast and avoid council when one tribe member is five minutes behind everyone else in the challenges especially if they have to wait and all be on the mat or touching the bamboo or whatever before they can move on. It wasn't solely because of swim ability but the Ulong tribe lost every time and ended up with Stephanie just boating over and joining the other tribe because she was the only member left. I think a balance between being careful about bringing strong people to the end where they can win individual immunity and keeping the strong and letting the weaker ones go to win tribe immunity is fairly logical game play. I can't remember if Sandra struggled with swimming. Contestant mix up, the rest of this paragraph is actually about Cirie (thank you to Eolivet for pointing out I got the two mixed up): I do remember her Cirie in the first few days freaking out about everything and saying she was afraid of leaves at one point. I though Oh Boy this one is not made for this game she's not going to last. She wound up being one of my favorite players though. Keith's cliffhanger was underwhelming, I hope it's just the game and this indecisive panic isn't how he is at home. He can't know for sure but he has to realize at some point stay in the game means fight for your place in the game so I wonder if some of the reason he's unsure is (despite his parting shot to the tribe) deep down he knows the physical part isn't his strong suit especially if it involves water and is he willing to suffer more only to lose again and be out permanently. This is a new twist to the game so I think the unknown aspect of it is going to weigh on people to some extent - like anything else in life I'd guess some are going to just say hell yes and grab that torch and some are going to think and debate what this could mean like Keith is. The editor who decided to string all of Aubrey's conversations together was brilliant but for pete's sake Aubrey change up your wording and conversations a little. Sure they aren't watching on TV and don't have the inside info we do but they're going to talk and when even one of them says "Aubrey said I remind her of her" it's guaranteed three or four of them who hear that will look up in shock and blurt out she said the same to them. Being sneaky and disingenuous is the game, doing it in an obvious way and getting caught can be the kiss of death.

If they really wanted to show Ben having the kids calculate he should have included converting things like all those TBS and TSP to cups or ounces (i.e recipe calls for 2 TBS paprika, times 10 is 20 TBS there are 16 TBS in a cup how can we convert this to make it easier to measure?). Maybe he did but you'd think they'd show it and at least it would have been taking the easy part of the lesson 2x10 a step further. Jessa lost her math book and it took Mom three days to notice? Maybe I'm not up on home school schedules and she didn't use it daily but it seems like if she was third grade or around 9 at the time Michelle wasn't exactly monitoring them closely. I''m fuzzy on the timeline. And I feel like I want to tread carefully here because however Josiah and Lauren might have jumped the gun on announcing pregnancy, even if they had kept it to themselves for a few more months they were still really excited and it's still a loss so no snark there but...............Jessa is now posting on-line like she and Lauren were pregnancy buddies, she even said they had the exact same due date. Apparently they're going to address the miscarriage next week but going by show time not real time Jessa hasn't said anything about being pregnant so to me it's odd and awkward how and when that fits in. They're not shy about sharing so I wish Jinger had expanded on why she gave up coffee - made her jittery, acid was giving her stomach problems, caused headaches or breakouts? Just curious and it seems like something that isn't exactly private or secret (compared to, say, something like circumstances around Sam's birth). Haven't we seen that the Duggar's have a compound with multiple buildings including a shop? Ben's apartment was behind the shop wasn't it? So why in the world did they have to put that arbor together in the living room and why did they have to set up benches and make a fake church out of it to accurately see what it would look like. I have two theories on it and if voting I'd say the answer is both theories are true 1. They couldn't do it half way then say "picture it" because these kids are so sheltered most of them have little to no imagination and can't see what isn't laid out for them and 2. Because the show producers told them to do it that way and Jim Bob will do just about anything for a good TV moment.

I used to go jogging without my phone all the time, just too lazy to carry extra things - until I took a bad fall on a trail and had to limp half a mile before I could get help (severe ankle sprain, sliced knee with stitches and broken hand from trying to brake my fall). I'm now banned by my family from ever leaving the house without a phone, they even gifted me with several ugly but practical fanny packs to carry the the phone & a few other just in case essentials. I suppose I might have been in the minority on that but the no phone thing was pretty common for me until last year. That said it was weird that Sophie didn't have a phone either or a note feature on her music player or even a voice or video recorder on it so she couldn't just say hey give me your number and I'll pass it to my Mom. Definite semi-clunky plot device there.

I agree about Theo, I don't think he was being a brat I think he was being a kid having a bratty moment. It's normal, kids don't express their feelings in an "adult" way so it comes in an outburst. They learn how to manage that better in the way we react to it so I thought Katherine's response was very good to. Plus kids take their cues from the adults, if Theo knows Mom and Dad are up to something but they "play nice" when he's around he may have absorbed that to mean he has to play nice and put on a smile in front of them even if he's actually worried about the situation. If so that builds up and, again, bratty outburst. If he was a demanding brat all the time like that was his default personality I'd have a problem watching but.........once in awhile? That's OK with me, kids aren't perfect, they should act up and get in trouble once in awhile (not that I'm advocating for rude kids, it again it goes back to how the parents react, teaching why it's rude and not letting them get away with it). I swear that first moment when she leaned out the car window I thought it was Maggie and they'd slipped into a flashback. I feel sorry for Regina, she left the catering job because she was sidelined creatively, not appreciated by her male boss and expected to let male customers basically feel her up, she gets her own place puts everything she has into creating dishes and ends up taking the backseat to a man yet again. She should have been all over that newspaper to print a retraction or correction even though those rarely do much good. Funniest part of the episode was Eddie and Rome acting as the cheering section for Gary's attempted apology to Maggie's Mom, their yea! and oof! reactions were great.

I have the same problem. I've been watching Pure (a show that doesn't have a forum here for some reason) and besides thinking it's a very good show I understand what the end point of it is, take down the drug dealers, return to "plain" life and, hopefully, everyone on the good guys side makes it out alive. But as good as Chris is in this show the show itself seems to be mostly people running around getting hit on the head (at least it was Fauna this week and not Jay who by now should have CTE!) and encountering weird rich people who do strange artful things which at times is more like watching someones acid induced hallucinations. But I don't really get what the end point is, Fauna finds her mother and......? She gets answers about her origins, maybe but I'm not sure she's ever said what she'll do once that happens, I'm not sure she knows what happens after she finds Tamar, the finding seems to be her end game right now. As a view that feels incomplete and a half-planned plot. Also it's hard to watch Fauna being such a mixture of dumb naivety and savvy sneak. Smart enough to think about fingerprints on a weapon and dumping a body far from the party, not smart enough to stop sneaking around dark strange places alone knowing someone has been following and threatening her, suspecting that someone killed Nero, and having already been chased around and out of the Hodel house and the art gallery before.

True, but Fanning may not have been a "vampire" yet, it does take a short amount of time to change, maybe the "original viral's" death occurred before Fanning changed. I had the same question as Eskimo and thought of the same response as Animemania but I hit another road block. If dying when your sire dies hinges on whether or not you've turned before the sire dies then why did Amy appear to be dying too? She hasn't turned yet so shouldn't she have been as unaffected by Fannings death as Fanning was unaffected by cave vampires death? There may be more to it because of Amy's powers but going by the show only there's either a plot hole or more to the connection with Fanning than we realize.

Peter Tork has died. Confirmed on multiple news sites and by his family on Twitter. RIP Peter, another little piece of my childhood gone but the music lives on and it never fails to make me smile.

This is from TV Line "Matt's Inside Line". Putting it in spoiler tag just in case but it's just a hint about how an upcoming episode (possibly the season finale?) will highlight a popular 70's TV show. Seems like it's more than just the Cleary's will be watching said popular show on their TV.... but if so trying to figure out how they're going to work that into the plot in a realistic way. Still I was a fan of said show at the time and it definitely peaks my interest!

There may have been an age thing but I think Reem's bigger mistake especially after claiming (and I stress claiming) to be a watcher of the show is how could she not have seen that time after time the person who calls attention to themselves always gets on the other players nerves and is targeted. It should be "Do you want me to move some of your wet stuff to the beach I think they might dry faster in the sun?" or "Hey can I help with A, B, C task". But the players that go with taking the stuff and moving it around without asking or saying "Give me that you're doing it wrong, do this and do this".... it's going to get you negative attention and too much attention from the tribemates is exactly what you don't want. I think a lot of players both male and female that get a little too bossy with their tribe have always been targeted sooner or later. We were saying that's a fine line for the returning players which must be hard for them; do too much and you're bossy and reminding everyone you're an experienced player, do too little and you're not pulling your weight. Either of those can put a bigger target on the returnees backs. Targeting Keith, Wendy etc for what turns out to be a swim lesson was a rookie move though, it's being overly paranoid by assuming, on Day 2, that three people in the ocean must be plotting a major upset even though it's not a majority and you never talked to one of them to feel out the situation. And last I'm going to bitch about the challenge designers again. There's a fine line between challenge and danger, having Kelly fall off that beam when the net was fairly close was one thing, maybe it should have had a little padding or more curved edges maybe not but it seemed fairly safe even if she did hit her head. But having NO net, padding or a decent pile of sand under that climbing rope was taking it too far, that was a pretty big risk to take that the players wouldn't get close to the top and slip. That would have been a big drop with nothing to break their fall. Did they learn nothing from Kourtney's broken wrist? I know, there's a balance needed and the line is blurry not fixed but I think they got lucky nothing bad happened on that one. On the other hand I guess it proves a lot of gym teachers right, there's a future use for climbing that stupid gym rope after all! Won't hijack the thread for more than a few sentences on this but I love that movie, hadn't seen it in years and it popped up on Tubi or one of those channels recently and I watched 3-4 times. I was surprised how much of it I remembered and that it holds up pretty well. I'm also sad for anyone who doesn't get it if you say "Come out to plaaay-aaay"

Have to admit I didn't do much more than tear up slightly but I didn't watch it until a few minutes ago and had already read it was a multi tissue episode so I think that prepared me a little and stopped me from bawling. That doesn't take away from the fact that Phylicia just, I don't know, "brought it?" I don't think that's the adjective I"m looking for, I'm not sure there is an adjective to describe how good she was. Somehow I was hating her and loving her at the same time, thinking she was a cold fish (Dad has cancer let's go clear the table) and thinking she was strong and smart all at once and she was so convincing all the way around. The actress who played teen Beth nailed this thing that Susan does with her eyes which made them seem so similar from teen to adult. It's this slight widening she does when she's feeling something but not saying it out loud and I saw that same expression on teen Beth. I don't know if many would consider this a down side but to me the writers messed up a bit showing us that flash forward when everyone was going to see "Her" and Beth was clearly running a dance show when Randall picked her up. I think that took away from watching Beth at the end say she wanted to teach because there's no is this a good idea, will she be able to do it, by seeing her years down the road we already know she's going to do it and succeed. Maybe she falls a few times between now and then but I feel like it took some of her story away to let us know the end before we saw the beginning. Despite Beth's warning to Kevin I really like Zoe and I think she's changed and softened a bit since she opened up about her past. I have no spoilers to know one way or the other but I'd definitely like to see more of her both with Beth and with Kevin assuming that his booze slip up in Uncle Nicky's trailer doesn't send him so far into relapse that it breaks them up.

You got me thinking - I wonder if this is really another example of how the boy/girl Duggar kids don't talk to each other beyond the superficial. And I think a lot of the reason the boys and girls can't get too close is because of JB and Michelle's rules that were put in post Josh molestation. I don't mean they don't talk at all obviously they do but do they sit down and have true conversations, know each others deep likes and dislikes? The girls do that with each other and the boys probably talk to but I don't think girl/boy bonding happens and it's probably discouraged. I would not be at all surprised if the Duggar boys who hate coffee really truly don't know about an Espresso or Americano or what is in a Latte because despite what some of their sisters drink they only have this basic surface information like "Jinger loves coffee" and it never goes beyond that. There's no way that any of the boys sat at the breakfast table one day and actually spent time talking to Jinger while eating, asked her what type of coffee she was drinking, how is it made, what other coffees there are. I'm not ready to fully write off Josiah and Lauren as an unhappy too quick to marry thing especially (as we've speculated) from Josiah but.........I thought the honeymoon was awkward to watch. Maybe Lauren isn't comfortable being the sole focus yet. Before with the chaperones and family around they had a bigger group except for the TL's. But instead of having fun they came across like they were ticking off sightseeing boxes on some list and like they were doing it separately, it seemed like half the time Josiah was doing his thing and he just occasionally glanced over to see if Lauren was still there. I'm not sure I"m saying this how I mean but it was a weird dynamic where I feel like Josiah could have been on that trip alone and he wouldn't have acted much differently then what we saw when most couples even those who lived together for years before marriage would be, on their honeymoon special trip, just a little more joined at the hip (or at least holding hands more). Spurgeon and Henry continue to be the cutest of the grandkids, I hope that never changes.

That was me; I fixed it but give me a break on this one - I was typing with this huge bandage on the ring finger of my dominate hand and found it's nearly impossible to do! Spell check was my savior but if failed me on that word. It would be really funny if they linked Shatner to Penny getting commercial work, maybe they could bring it full circle and have her doing drug commercials (although we won't go as far as to diss Shatner and have the drug be a hair growth pill that encourages him to ditch his toupe, I'm not sure he'd find that as amusing as I would)

You had too many words, I fixed it for you. I just can't stand her but I can't stand the actress either so I don't know if it was someone else playing her (maybe playing her better) would I like Tara a little more? They already had decent leaders for Hilltop and good actors playing them and TPTB can't seem to either keep their actors or figure out what to do with half of their good characters. It's hard to watch two episodes that basically slowly and carefully build up the threat we've already known was coming for months now. Seems to be a fine balance between blowing through your plot lines too soon and draaaaging out the story to force it to last a certain amount of episodes. Right now unless something happens next week, they're dragging it and between this and what happened before the break they're exceeding they maximum episodes they can get away with that basically boil down to send out a search party, search party doesn't come back, send out a search party to search for the search party then sound out a rescue party to rescue the search party (repeat until there's nobody but two toddlers and a rabbit left in Hilltop). Credit where it's due though - the jailhouse talk especially between Lydia and Daryl were well done and it's nice to see Daryl back in fighting mode instead of the weird isolation we saw earlier. With six episodes left for the season we're hopefully about to get a little momentum going now.

The surprise dark ending in the BBT finale episode: Penny is resolute in her no babies decision and has her tubes tied. Howard and Bernadette visit Penny and Leonard and take the newly repaired elevator down as they leave when it malfunctions and plummets them to their deaths. Leonard and Penny are notified that the will made them Haley and Michael's guardians and they move into the Wolowitz house which was left in trust for the kids. Amy finds out she's pregnant and she and Sheldon move into the bigger apartment to have the extra bedroom giving Penny's old apartment to the newly engaged Stuart and Denise (because we already know signed leases and sub-lets mean nothing on TV). Forgotten by everybody Raj and Anu move to India to open their own hotel with Anu as the manager/concierge and Raj running the kitchen while giving midnight astrological astronomy tours on a rooftop observatory. Kripke loses tenure and changes career track to become a lounge singer. Seriously though I think somebody is going to be pregnant by the end, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they doubled down and had Penny and Amy both announce they're pregnant. They're inching toward it slowly and I don't have a problem with Penny softening her views towards children as long as it feels natural and we see her thoughts changing (without being forced) and it comes across like something she thought over on her own not just something they stuck in there to fulfill a seasons plot plan. Howards mistake was buying tickets to the wedding in the first place and apparently buying non-refundable tickets with no travel insurance. They have two kids, that alone should have gotten them to spend a little extra to protect the purchase. But I question why they were spending all that money to go to the wedding at all - yes I know they're best buds and all but going that far for any wedding is a big, big ask. With Raj and Anu both having firmly established lives and friends in the US why not have two ceremonies or parties instead?

Hmmm - I may have misunderstood the reports and might be wrong about that from a legal standpoint. It looks like they and some news articles call Tyler the "adopted" son but it seems like that's a phrase as in they adopted him into their home life and not actually a legal full adoption. I went to find the source for you and the more I look the more I realize that despite multiple sources and JB/Michelle themselves calling Tyler the adopted son there's no real proof they went through all the legal hoops. So it looks like Tyler is still just under their guardianship and while they are responsible for him they haven't taken that final step (at least it can't be proven they have).

Caleb is the baby Michelle lost early in their marriage, the pregnancy came after Josh. That's what got them started on the road of birth control makes God mad and he punished us in the form of a miscarriage. For some reason they weren't doing all "J" names then and Michelle doesn't always acknowledge him - example after they lost Jubilee she was saying she has one baby in heaven but other times she'll say she has 20 children but two have died. Tyler is Michelle's great-nephew, his Grandma is Michelle's sister Carolyn. His Mother (Rachel) was an unmarried teen when she had him. Rachel gave custody of Tyler to Carolyn who raised him for awhile but Carolyn had a stroke and couldn't take care of him anymore so JB&Chell became his legal guardians. For awhile Rachel was still visiting him at the Duggar's house but she was supposed to be homeless and had other problems so there wasn't much chance she'd get custody. I don't know if the visits are still happening but I do know guardianship has become adoption and Tyler is now legally a Duggar son. EDITED TO CORRECT TYLERS STATUS, SEE ALSO NEXT SIX POSTS: No proof that the Duggar's officially, legally adopted Tyler, they call him their "adopted" son but that seems to be just a phrase for we adopted him into our home and not a claim that they took any legal steps beyond guardianship. And all this just proves we know way more about this family then we probably have a right to know but hey it was their choice to put all the details out there so.........

Still loving this show although I have to admit I still don't know everyone's names, between the military, the virals, the doctors and the "good guys" there are a LOT of characters. One thing I can't get around - that news story; so they killed the reporter but she didn't create that expose in a vacuum - she had a camera man, editors, producers approving the story and the people working the show that night must have known they were going to air her special report. Did some secret government officials also steal and delete all record of the story, all the recordings and notes and threaten everyone who had any involvement with a nasty sort of "what happened to her can happen to you"? It just seems like between the staff at multiple prisons and the staff behind and in front of the camera's at the TV station a LOT of people are now keeping the secret of the missing death row inmates.

I agree with that. And weirdly every hospital I've ever been in they've been pretty willing to give out a patient's room number if you say you are family. But then the patient had died so maybe that was the issue. Giving out medical information, no. I agree about the death being why the staff was stalling on the room number; it didn't make sense at first I kept thinking Regina just go over there and say his niece is here but once we found out he had died the whole "I can't give you information you'll have to talk to Dr so&so" made complete sense. The computer though - maybe it's hand waving it away on my part but I didn't have a problem with it because of the never ending struggle to get people to log out of or lock their computer when they walk away. Of course the employee can be given a warning or even be fired if they do it too often but you have to catch them first. I don't know why it's so hard to CTRL+ALT+DELETE before getting up then type in a password when you get back but the whole "I just went 10 feet away to get a bottle of water" type excuses get old after awhile. So, OK, before this turns into a rant just bottom line; lot's of people leave their computer open for "just a few seconds", they shouldn't but they do which is how I excused Maggie getting access. Barbara Morgan - We're sure that lady Gary talked to is her. One thing I thought was weird and I went back three time to listen, when Gary left and the guy in the house asked who it was Barbara replied "It's ok SHE'S gone now". I'm sure it was SHE not HE. If so just overthinking this wondering was that a flubbed line that the director missed? Was it on purpose because Barbara didn't want the guy in the house to know there was a man at the door? Was it referencing herself like the old She/Barbara doesn't exist? Regina nailed the whole confession scene in the bedroom, like give this girl an Emmy nailed it. Eddie on the other hand - I don't hate the character and I certainly like seeing David on my screen but....what's his deal with women I wish he or the writers would make up their minds because he hops from wanting Delilah to not wanting to divorce Katherine (until he saw the two breakfast plates) to not sleeping around on tour to jumping on PI girl to rejecting PI girl. He has more mood swings than Rome and Maggie combined. At least we got two things explained - Gary got the PI "through work" ........so we know Gary does work at something although he seems to rarely actually be AT work and they threw in a line about how Delilah spent over 20 years in France which I honestly think was for no reason except the writers do read boards like this and tried to explain her fluctuating accent to the viewers.

Not sure if this has been posted before but it's the first I heard about it - A man is using Scientology as his defense for committing murder in Arizona. Basically he's not denying he did it he's saying it wasn't pre-meditated first degree murder (death penalty eligible) but heat of the moment manslaughter based on trying to "save" his nephew from the evil psychologists. They even went as far as to bring up Tom Cruise and his Today show anti-psychology interview in the defense opening arguments. What really got me was apparently the defense is trying to find expert witnesses to corroborate that COS teachings would have made the guy believe he had to go and rescue his nephew and that the kids mortal soul was in danger and they tried to get Leah and also Mark Ortega to be expert witnesses to that. Leah hasn't said anything about this, maybe she can't but it seems from the article she declined to help. Ortega did too and the defense seems to be having a hard time getting anyone with inside info to help. The best part though (to me) is the defense also subpoena records from the church. I have to admit I'd be very interested in what they asked for, is COS fighting the subpoena, if not what they were given and what is/will be admitted to evidence knowing how COS feels about letting any of their documents fall into outsiders hands. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/mans-defense-in-double-murder-death-penalty-case-scientology-made-me-do-it/ar-BBTeE75?li=BBnbcA1

I know this is a question that needs no answer but...........how big of a useless moron is JB? First, various canned veg is not a "five course meal" it's crap on a plate. Second I sincerely hope Jill saying they had a ketchup option for "everything" is actually meant for the potatoes not all the items she listed. I won't hold my breath on that but it's easier than picturing them dipping green beans and carrots in ketchup. Third and most important, even if you have multiple little kids keeping you busy, even if you're a guy and the kitchen is (in his opinion not mine) the wimmens domain how hard is it to cook the inexpensive basics like burgers or pasta with maybe some ground meat in the sauce, a side of canned veg wouldn't be so bad with those. Heck even oatmeal or real tuna with mayo or a PB&J sandwich. Any of those with fruit would be a better dinner or lunch. It doesn't take mensa level intellect to put together something that's actually good for growing kids and is more than "let's dump out whatever canned crap I can find in the cabinet". That Jill still eats and enjoys the BBQ Tuna and her other meals based on her posted recipes make me think her taste buds have been deadened and warped by a steady diet of meals made primarily from canned high sodium veg and soup in her early years. She likely never developed the ability to recognize what "fresh" tastes like and probably isn't interested in branching out now.

The opening scene of Dean in that underwater box triggered every claustrophobic feeling ever. But Jensen nailed it. I was wildly distracted by Sam when the boys were interviewing the twin brother - Poor guy had the worst placement and chair, it was too low to begin with AND he was sitting on the edge of it with the cushion smushed down so that, the way his legs were bent, his knees were up somewhere near his ears. We know Jared is tall but he did not fit that seat at all! As for the rest, I thought it good. Not great but good and, to me, definitely a better episode than most of last week. They finally have a case; even if it wasn't MOTW and it tied into the bigger story there was a small bit of the old "saving people hunting things" (something I really miss sometimes and I think they've lost in their quest for season story arcs). The how to get rid of Michael for good plot is finally moving along and even if we think we can see the solution coming from a mile away there's still that small mystery of if it does turn out to be Nick they substitute for Dean (and being spoiler free I'm not saying that's a done deal plot wise) there's at least the little mystery of how they accomplish that.

My problem with The Deceased episode is the timeline; I'm just having trouble buying, even in TV magic wave things away world, that the guy was killed 12 hours ago. So in 12 hours TPTB managed to: Police/Fire recover the body, Police/ME identifies the body, Police notifies next of kin, Someone notifies the guys attorneys, Attorney finds "mail in event of my death" envelope, Attorney mails or hand delivers said envelope, Envelope is waiting for Magnum when he wakes up that morning. That's assuming it is morning and all this happened overnight going by the guys last (poisoned) dinner which could have been his lunch but then 12 hours later it wouldn't have been light out when Magnum got the envelope. That is some fast moving work on everybody's part! I did like Katsumoto coming to the rescue. As others have said he and Magnum need to call a truce and work together a bit. Obviously Katsumoto believes him at least some of the time and he was willing to come to the mill on TC's say so that there was an SOS text from Magnum with no other details or context. They need a little more of that, just a little balance would be nice. But still his being part of the rescue was a good addition. So, Season 2 is a go - wondering when we'll get the inevitable Magnum/H5O crossover. Anyone here old enough to remember the Magnum/Simon & Simon cross over on the original run? Watched both shows at the time and was and still am a huge Gerald McRaney fan so that was one I remember well. Despite the ret-con needed to forget the H5O team mentioned the TV show and sang the Magnum theme song in Kamekono's chopper that time it could make for an interesting two parter bringing the two groups together. Actually I would love to see a scene between Higgins and Danny; a cargument between those two would be worth watching!

I think it's both - I don't think Jill has an independent bone in her body, I don't believe at all that she will decide for or against being an active, paid midwife until someone actually TELLS her what her decision is. So Derick might actually be resentful that he married someone who has very little ability to think for herself or be motivated without being told. If Derick is resentful that Jill is SAHM he'd have to be the one to do something about it. She would for sure follow orders; all he has to do is say "Go do this" and like a robot roomba that just hit a wall Jill would turn around and walk in a straight line and do it. But I also think he doesn't want her to be too independent either, working as a part-time midwife within the family is one thing (not that any of us here would encourage a pregnant lady to get within a million feet of Jill and her half trained brain) but working as an active midwife with actual clients that could drag her out of the house at odd unexpected hours.....No Way........No chance in hell Derick is going to give up not just control but his lifestyle, if Jill is out birthin' babies at 3am she's not going to stop and drop the kids at the TTH on the way and Derick is not going to watch them, get them up in the morning, make them breakfast.....half because he probably does think that's wimmins work and half because I don't think he's that into the kids if they're not sitting still obeying and behaving like little robots themselves.

There was no way to do it and not be obvious but I wish I could have taken a picture because guys I kid you not I saw Sophia Petrillo the Nun at Trader Joe's today. Same height, same hair (sort of, the part I could see under the habit). Same glasses! Tried so hard not to stare but my Mother was with me and when I asked her to look at the Nun by the cheese she immediately said "Oh my God it's Sophia" then ran practically ran Away. Found her at the other end of the aisle laughing and crossing herself (forgiveness for the laughing I guess) at the same time and finally she said "She's just missing the wicker purse". Which made her crack up all over again. So sorry no photo but, to borrow a phrase..... Picture it, Trader Joe's, 2019.....

I thought this was pretty good showing some of what the Docs do away from the hospital. The best part though was the writers weaving a few of the actors real life skills into the story, Claire has a lovely voice which I didn't know about before and I winced a little when Park did that split (ouch) but it and his whole workout routine was impressive. I know many find Lea grating but the cart race was fun to watch, Shaun being slow and careful and Glassman getting the first true laugh and smile on his face then we've seen in a long time. It's interesting that Andrews defended Melendez and Lim to the investigator but not one word about Shaun at all. Was his (temporary) melt down better then, equal to or not as bad as Lim injecting someone whose history she didn't know with a drug that interacts badly with many other medications? That's if I heard correctly and they said she used Haldol, pretty sure that's what they said.
