I know, we were laughing when Oliver said it was as fake as their names. I was also laughing at Spencer not getting the Christmas jokes before she told him to buy a clue. Speaking of which, I enjoyed that Katie got him on something he knows will be punishment him. However, I really am tired of Oliver and Taylor's sell out attitudes because it has really cost them more now. Plus, basically Oliver being told he is his friend's bitch, so don't start using your brain now. Should have been a wake up call for him. I actually cheered when Ellen told Taylor to go to hell after what she did. Felt like for once the kids were getting more of the reality of their rich sell-out attitude is biting them back in the ass. As for Katie trying to get Anna-kat to need her again. I would have cheered if Anna would have said she didn't need me, because it means she is starting to get a clue on reality and not her OCD. Which once again, the writers use when it serves the plot. Loved Greg wondering where the tornado book came from and under the pillow, which he knew made no sense.

I felt with both Claire and Luke this was a lot of pack peddling. This isn't Luke running for student office and thinking has to be "like Trump". Phil even told Luke how he could misread him like that or after all these years. Even the writers basically were saying: "Yeah, we know it goes against things, but we have no idea how to write this episode, so take your stupid pills." I also want to know why Claire needed a she shed. Goes back a year ago when they did a similar story line on Last Man Standing. Mike didn't want give Vanessa her space and make it like his own, he not only gets called on it, but why he felt to even have to think that way when most of the kids were out of the house. Claire acted like she has no "space" which is more bullshit. For Cam's reaction to things, that is along the lines of learning something at a much older age that makes you question things. However, the way both Pam and Cam had to go about how they "settled problems in the country" make me want to smack both of them. Pam is a horrible character and to not only do this to her brother, but also thinking she has to provide lighters and worried about having her boobs show for pre-teen to early teen girls made no sense either. Basically, people from the country are just brainless.

I enjoyed the episode, but I also agree with Jimmy having to be tricked. He can just have fun writers, let him. Something that still drives me crazy during the episode is not known about JJ unable to speak or his handicap. It makes the girls look stupid, that they can't put two and two together.

Adam can be nerdy and yet progress, it happens. I have a good friend who was nerdy, loved films and so forth, but you know what? He grew up, has 4 kids and married and guess what? He still is pretty nerdy, but he grew up. Adam has to start moving forward, they try and write him like a current teen, who doesn't want to face reality that something isn't the way they want it to be. Hide behind short views and believe that's how it should be because the real world is "too real".

I agree, even when the pointed out he dated "white girls" and he called it different. That could have been followed up with: "There aren't a lot of asian girls at our school."

After last night's episode, I wonder if they are leading to Spencer getting a wake up call because he got actual punishment from the phone tracking situation and the fact that Oliver openly knows that Spencer is using him. It paints Oliver that he has no backbone. He might be smart, but really doesn't get that acting like the rest of the "rich" people in town is going to get his ass kicked.

I really hope it is a "real emergency" like a bleeding ulcer or something. If it turns out to be gas or something, that would just put Phil in the department of over reacting too much once again.

Yes, the constants in the second round were just stupid. Mrs. Readster was even going: "They put these guys on this show, but you try auditioning and they look the other way." I do wonder how screen processes go these days on modern game shows. I have both friends and family members that were on shows such as: Who wants to be a Millionaire, The Price is Right and Let's Make a Deal. They have stories to share on how they get there, but the ABC game shows the last few years, I do wonder how this even goes. I mean sharpen tools? Really? I do love Jason Ritter, he really had fun, but I rarely hate the celebrities unless they really botch the obvious answer. However, I also agree a ship and a yacht are 2 different things.

As an educator myself, trust me, I was rolling my eyes with the teacher situation. Mrs. Readster is a SPed assistant. We get kids with problems all the time, but at the same time, you aren't as protected as much as you use to be. You could make one comment about a family member (especially in private school) and you are out. I had a former co-worker and month before the school year was over, he had made a comment about a relative of a student and was shown the door that following Friday. I also worked in previous schools where myself and others had a great track record, barely any issues or anything and then were shown the door do to budget cuts. They kept other teachers who were mid ground level and not even 2 months in the new school year, those teachers left by choice and we got emails saying: "Sorry, we should have kept you." Trust me, the Unions didn't do a damn thing, just took out money from our paychecks regularly and never said where the money went to. So, when shows like Black-ish, American Housewife or The Middle try to show the education system with these troupes. I just want to shut the TV off. I think its even worst that Bow brought up that Dre spends all their extra money on shoes and other crap. Yet, wants Bow to stay at home and then showing she is a ditz or the people she works with are such back stabbers. Doesn't make it a smart choice, just goes with Dre's company, how they all got into these positions of management means someone died or retired.

Doesn't surprise me as they went to the same medical school together and would be close to the same age. I can so see her thinking: "I knew him in med school, how could he be abusive?"

I hate a make shift "man cave" but it's really just a small space that has my collectibles and a few other things. My wife does have her own "she shed" but it works about the same way. Our son has his "kids area" which is really his own play room. We have the house pretty spaced out and we still spend plenty of time with each other. The problem with the Dunpheys, is they basically are empty nesters (of course Haily will never get a life and move away). So having either a batting cage or a she shed doesn't really make much sense. Plus, after all these years, Luke still can't buy a clue from his dad that he doesn't do under handed or secret codes about doing things. Plus, I would have left Luke to Claire, he and Hailey need to be smacked some times. Same goes for Manny, still he is 19, and still acts like Jay and Gloria care about his crap. I'm not going to get into Cam's issues and the entire pre-teen party for Lily that Pam made even worst. I'm with Mitch, he has been going for 10 years and Cam can do just one session and the shrink think he has the best breakthrough ever. No, no he doesn't. He still makes it about himself and is a whiny baby when he isn't the center of attention. Cure that!

That's what I hate too. Especially with Dre, he acts like this is just how it has to be. Ok, Dre, you made it out of the poor house, got a great job, make good money, married a doctor. But oh have kid 5 in your mid 40s and you think Bow has to stay home now. Even more, I hate not only Bow but also how Dre are so disrespected at their jobs. Bow more than Dre, but it has gotten old. In fact, I'm surprise at this point that Bow has not moved farther ahead at the hospital. She has been there long enough and really, so all the kids are going on in their lives. Now, let's have Bow be a stay at home mom? I mean really writers? It's like Ruby's constant put down of Bow or even how her co-workers act like Bow became a doctor by sending in a mail-in-rebate. Seriously, I hate how the show has gone down to this.

No, in fact I've known people who have been above water for month or years and some relative dies or leaves them money and they get ahead by a couple of years and then just rebuild their budget from there. Of course, what did they do with the money? Blew most of it on the Lunch Box, doesn't seem like Jump the Shark, just being Roseanne and Jackie and never thinking ahead.

True, however, if a set group like Section 31 could figure out a way to create a virus that slowly killed off the Changlings before the cure was found. How hard would it be for the Borg to assimilate or learn of a new science that could alter cellular structure like Changlings at some point?

My bad, I thought you meant the episode and not the movie.

First Contact is based on how people would feel if they suddenly were faced with a situation like that. I know the how did a survey for a month on how people would feel on the situation. It basically came off like the episode, the one thing that bothered me the most about First Contact. Is not the security guy and his attitude of: "I must save my people." It was the mob that basically kicked the shit out of Riker, even when the episode started. He apparently found himself in the middle of a protest. What was the protest over? Why were these people so hate ridden. I felt like the episode was trying to show this kind of isolation, we are alone in the Universe. It came off like a bunch of ignorant people who I'm surprised even made it to warp drive.

Vickie showing up felt like a bit apology from Jeff Franklin and all the former writers who felt if her and Danny would have gotten married would have ruined the dynamic of the series. When it fact, it would have fit right into it. I mean, it wouldn't have been that hard to make up an excuse for Joey, Jesse and the family still living there for the remainder of the series. Hell, when Fuller House started they basically said they were only there a few more years afterwards and then all moved out after Steph went to college. Ok, rant over on that. I felt this would have been a nice conclusion if they don't get a season 4. However, having Danny back in the house and Kimmy having Steph's baby. There is so many places they can go, especially with Rocky and Jackson now dating and the way Gia and DJ are around each other. I also see Jimmy getting down and proposing to Steph, because let's face it. I could see them trying to wrap up a 4th season with a wedding and labor hijinks. Either way, I enjoyed the season, but wish they wouldn't have split it up the way they did.

The dinner scene had Mrs. Readster and I just laughing through out. The mustache part was hilarious.

Watching the flashbacks. It didn't really show up until season 3 for some reason. The staples of the show were the kitchen, the couch, fireplace, front stoop and the backyard. None of those have changed at all during the series. Everything else has either gotten a new look, repait or something else.

Which didn't make any sense either when they revealed that Mike and Vanessa had met his parents and even in the "daddy is dying" episode. Where Mike even said: "I don't remember him being this crazy before?" Ryan's backstory kept changing considering how much the writers wanted to make him seem less like an asshole, and they made him a bigger one in the process. Including how Vanessa always jumped on his side when she went: "He's our grandson's father." Yeah, newsbreak, he was still a dumbass and self absorbed in his limited world view just Mike became.

It reminds me of the bully from Michelle's school. That kid was the worst and then later on when we met his dad (who was a pro wrestler). I'm sorry, anyone would have done that to me the way he did to Jesse and he be arrested. Something Full House and Fuller House have done horribly is thinking something like this is funny. They might go: "Well, kids are like that in real life." However, they take it too far and if I was Jackson, I be like: "Get the hell away from me."

I really have to wonder how much was improvised and what was in the script. Same goes with the portable hot tub. It looked like they had done the scene several times with both the statue and the hot tub.

Not the best episodes, but man, Stephanie with the mood swings was fantastic! Especially at the end: "Why am I going upstairs? I live in the basement!"

Lecy looks fantastic! As for John, that doesn't surprise me from the weight lost and just how the body works at that age when you lose that much weight. I really want to see a Cubs reference not to mention if there is also a Boston Red Sox reference too. Being the Conners were big Chicago fans and John Goodman was a big Red Sox fan in real life.

Fernando has been the character that has such growth and move from the cheating idiot he was in season 1. Of course, still drives me nuts he got lost trying to take Ramona to the Nutcracker performance because he got lost. With the fact they both have a smart phone, GPS and most likely Fernando dropped her off as previously mentioned in that episode.
