Yeah, no kidding. Like how later on when we met Jerry's mom and she yelled at the hospital for paying him crap all those years, and then found out he almost went to laws school. Like they wanted us to feel sorry for these characters, but they never really did well with the backstory on them. "Here's an ass or let's act like this person is treated horribly by the hospital, but give answer why... nah it's good story telling." 🙄

True, not to mention Roz with Daphenie's idiot brother and of course even post having Roz have a baby. She was still the butt of sex jokes (no pun intended).

Right, Ronald is pretty much screwed either way, Rick could still get away with things or get to a point, where he needs to find someone either a lot smarter or try a different approach. However, Rick seems to have this very "huh side" to him. I mean he won't officially call it quits with his wife. He can blow away someone fishing, but can't take out who is abducted or even learning one is transgender and that right there should be: "Well, we can't use you." Yet, he doesn't. Something isn't adding up.

Right and then she tried to go off it cold turkey. Doesn't work that way. Now you have shows where people try to do that and they end up losing their minds.

True, and trust me I know adults who take it too, however they basically had Carter go: "But that's more of over active children." Instead of: "Why did they not just adjust it when you became an adult." It was another bs "layer" the writers kept giving Lucy.

Right a lot of blame goes to Maria Bello and her manager under this: "Well, the show is still number 1, my character is popular and play it better, but movies!" As we know that has changed a lot as many actors now move back to TV and now streaming shows as it is more steady work. Back in the day, when you went movies, it meant your career really took off. Now... well you can see and I don't fault the writers over that situation, Maria left them in a bind, but what they tried to do with Lucy just didn't work off well. As you said, they tried to make her too many things. It didn't make her complex and compelling it made her look dumb and then to add in she had hyper tension and was still on that same medication as a woman in her mid 20s. Really rang false too.

Not to mention, Sam and her kid was also crap because Sam's ex was not only way way too much older because she liked "the bad boy" but the guy was in and out of jail. He was abusive and he was pretty nuts and came from an abusive background himself. Honestly, Sam needed to be far, far away from him and it got to the point it came out of some half assed thriller movie. With him organizing fellow criminals and falsifying records, getting a cop and several hospital staff and patients injured or killed. Then it ends with him doing a Lex Luthor and killing his henchmen and then Sam finally killing him while he was asleep. Then thought she could still hide the face and just say: "The police killed your dad." WTF?

The only way it would make sense, but at the same time, it wouldn't. Where would she get this idea: "Oh, Eddie called after 20 years and he was at his family's old cabin." "He must have killed her." Yeah, you were also getting high that day, and you think Eddie did? Plus the fact, remember kids drugs kill, but hey blame someone even though you then find out your daddy knew it and decided: "Better throw her in the lake, we can't let the public know she got high and OD. The scandal!"

My wife's mother is going into dementia herself and sadly I'm seeing the mother-in-law I have come to love and respect over the past decade starting to disappear. My wife was in tears during the seen, because that will most likely be her on the other side of the hospital bed with her mom.

Right and never once did we hear that Rachel was: doing back in school, cutting class ect. Just because you are smart doesn't mean teens still don't smoke dope or sneak a cigarette or get high because of "issues". I knew a guy in high school, honor roll, athlete, still got high on occasion. He's a marketing director now and if he even sees his kids trying to joke about sipping a beer, he nails them. Basically: "I was young and stupid, but I grew up, don't make my same mistakes."

When something that involves a police finding, an autopsy basic will be reported. It's to rule out if something was: natural, an accident or foul play was involved. Pretty much all a coroner would have done was been: "There is no water in her lungs, this woman didn't drown?" Take a blood sample, kind the drug in the blood platlets, ect and be: "This was the cause of an over dose." See no bruising on the face or needle marks and would then find the contents in the stomach. That's another thing, when someone dies, you don't just magically go: "Time to bury this person in the back." Organs have to be removed, embedding fluid has too added and anti fungal has to be sprayed on the body to prevent earlier decomposing until after the funeral. You can't just say: "no autopsy and be done with it."

My thoughts too. I was also waiting for the excuse why the police didn't show up to help them at the meth parents house was because Dixon fixed things to keep it from happening. After all, they made a big deal last episode that he just got a slap on the wrist and the City sees him as a victim and hero.

That's exactly it, the entire story has not only been half ass, it counteracted what they tried to establish with the story. Plus, the way it sounds, the father confessed to it years ago and the sister was keeping it secret. However, as many said there would have been autopsy and there would have been the difference between drowning and ODing. Basically Eddie saw her and went to help, but realized she was dead and went from there. Still makes the story really stupid and the moral of the story kids... don't do drugs!

Plus, they could also now with the vaccines coming out and the fact they are part of the first responders, can start heading that way. Still have it around, but move forward to where it's not crazy (even though it still is right now, my nephew is a nurse). This however, was too real as I had a friend who lost a mother-in-law in the same way due to improper precautions at her assistant living and existing health issues.

I still find that such crap, not only how Abby just opens it, but the aftermath! I mean his friends who were lawyers because you know he was a "law student" like Mr. Stab Lucy and Carter were. Got a slap on the wrist, especially when his wife apparently never came back after Abby got her to leave. The lawyer just turns to Abby going: "Yes, and then Ryan got beat up a few hours later, but you don't know anything do you?" What an asshole! Of course, ER really never painted lawyers in a good light from the ones suing Mark for the death of the one brother to Janice from Friends. I mean, you get what their jobs were, but seriously, you wanted them to lose or it was: "Well, they are a fellow law student and sure they got someone killed or have a history of abuse and really did break into your apartment, but hey they are fellow law students, so the judges don't care." BS.

A teacher shown as an idiot or doing something that would have gotten them kicked out of teaching years ago? Oh a sitcome? Never.

I have to say Jack's whole situation was probably the best from beginning to end. Even the points raised about COVID and also the fact that even during a pandemic. Abuse and trauma don't automatically stop. Same with Maya realizing she has tried not to be her father and how much the trauma carries with her. However, also showing how her dad was honestly careful where he acted out on people and it was more mental abuse than physical. Do not know what the hell race angle came from with Dean. Him treating Sullivan bad because of how he treated him, that made sense. Even got how he brought up he basically was a hypocrite, but race? Race? Huh? So, Travis confronted his father, about time, so when the HELL are we going to have Vic confront her's?

See I could understand where Rachel was going after the divorce and really what had happened with her parents. However, it went way, way, way overboard to Rachel: "I need to smoke and do drugs because you know, my parents have been divorced for 8 years now."

Right and that would have made at least sense to a large degree. Not: "Well screw my pension, city job and more!" This was long before Chuck came in with his Prison Job offer.

How true, it seems more realistic due to current situations with the pandemic. Though, I complete agree on the hands, especially when Jerry got hit over the head after he caused a mini hygene breakout at the hospital back in the day that lead to Mark's beat up in the bathroom. Something that has been said about everything from pox, to polio to now COVID. WASH YOUR HANDS!

Especially how they went there by Dan doing something majorly stupid like using his pension.

When has the show done anything logical like this?

Legarski also may know about what really happened, so in his mind, he is humoring him. Because he might end up the same way and might not be fast enough with the gun. Plus, he might have covered it up with him.

It's completely ripped from the headlines season. Dealing with people from professionals to stories that have been going on since Day 1 of COVID. I mean, they are going to deal with Baily's parents being in assistive living and how COVID broke out in those places due to care workers not thinking straight and so forth. Doctors falling into getting COVID themselves and losing their minds and even talking to anti-maskers about things. Plus, they got Nico back for most of the season even though he is going to be on another show soon and they are like: "Hey, how can we use this guy?" "I know have him continue toxic relationship with Schimdt and let's throw in some racial story lines, story telling gold!" Just no.

Same here, seen Hormel constant over the years. I have heard of Stagg, but my wife even said: "What's that?"
