So let's see, GA has shown with all chiefs of surgery in either the flashbacks they have to: Richard Webber: The best one but sadly let his personal life effect his job several times and didn't know when to hang it up as a super visor when he knew it was getting too much for him. Owen: Couldn't handle the politics of the job. Bailey: Has to micromanage everyone and then doesn't get why people are pissed off at her. Flashbacks: Guy in the 1980s who was with Richard and Elise cared more about lawsuits and saying how if you didn't listen to him he kick out. Woman who was kind of the acting teacher when Bailey was an intern who believed you should worship the ground she walked on and never listened to your advice and was also pointed at Richard in the same episode flashback that the pervious chief before him was the same way. Great way to show you can't have a good boss.

We've seen the last couple of years that LMS changes characters around to fit the plots for the show. Ryan freaking out and admitting the news is propaganda more these days rang true. However, his entire: "Can't walk home, Boyd will be kidnapped." Had me rolling my eyes. Of course we know this is a lead up to politics coming up because upcoming episodes have Mike going at Hillary later this season and the Board of Education as stated in an interview for Time Allen: "Has been screwed up since Mr. Peanut took over." The ratings are good but slipping each season, with the 100 episode mark coming in November, I think this will be the last season for the show.

The family and I enjoyed it but I think this will be another one season show. They fell on a lot of sitcom cliches in the episode. The jerky boss, over reacting to a child being able to drive. The son who is weird but fun (love Bert). I also liked that they decided to make them more upper middle class so they aren't rolling in money since they are both doctors but aren't worried about money or anything. I did get a kick out of the "Molly joke".

Even with new writers, Ryan continues to be one of the most whiniest and worst characters on TV. I worry about my son too at times but not to this point, I agree though they were saying that the news has gone into manipulative broadcasting instead of worrying about reporting the news these days. Do they not know what to do with Vanessa anymore? They don't talk about her job, saying how she is: "uncool" and her daughters keep thinking they have to tip toe around her fragile ego. I mean please.

I see Fresh Off the Boat similar to The Goldbergs just in the 90s. They established in this season premiere that its 1996 and the creators said they were going to progress the stories in order. So, say the show lasts four seasons, it will be 1999-2000 by the end. However, I agree, being a Boyz II Man fan myself (I graduated HS in 1996) the songs were right buy the history was wrong. Of course, I remember in 95 when Shaq was all the rage and then they got things wrong towards the end of season 1. I take it with a grain of salt trying to make the plots work. I loved the men singing the song at the table and then the grandmother nodding to it. Made the episode.

If you think about it, it does make sense. All these ex-military guys and gals that Bracken used all these years to do his crap. There was no way that Bracken could have gotten that if he was a former SA in New York. There is going to Washington and buying things into the capital but getting all these ex-military didn't make much sense IMO. However, really, this just goes to: "This BIG BAD is the BIGGEST BIG BAD of all." Since now Kate is obsessed with this guy who really never had anything to do with her mother's murder. But of course they shoot up her police precinct and threaten her family so she is going after them. This is going to be another "new mythology" that is going to blow up in the show runners faces. I guarantee it.

That was pretty funny but I knew that Ed would have his girlfriend leave him (of course she is on another show now). Same goes with the more reduction of Ryan as he is busy filming a movie. It was funny for the most part and I understood Vanessa's point perfectly. She is going to wake up one day and her girls are gone and Mike will possibly be on the road again more since he won't have much to do at home until retirement. Of course, since they went to such extremes to get Vanessa out of her job to be an "inner city" school science teacher. Now, it seems the new show runners don't know what to do with everything. I love the fact that after so much hype to get Kristin and Ryan married so Boyd would have his happily little family. Now, they barely want to use them since general audience members don't like either characters. I say ship Kristin off then, they did it on Home Improvement with Randy of course that was more on the actors part than the show's. Tim, please shave, you can't do the beard.

Exactly. I have no problem with Dylan he's hilarious and the actor who plays him makes him so believable but I think Haley said it best: "He's trying to make a plate out of sticks." Haley has realized that type of guy really isn't what she wants anymore, they might be hot and great at sex but then what? She has also been on the other end with the doctor last season and then going: "I need something in-between." I agree, Andy should be that but going with making him chin fat and making Beth this psycho, they've done the same with Andy. He doesn't want a moron for a wife but he seems to like it if they are hot and love the drama, which is what Beth is. I can't ship for them and while I love seeing Dylan, its like with what they doing with Joe, Jay and Gloria. We've been there already with Cam and Mitch already. Also, I can get that Mitchell had a break down but I've read he is going to have a hard time getting a new job. I'm sorry, I know that people lose jobs all the time from budget cuts to having asses for bosses. However, you really are expecting us to believe that he can't get a job when he was at his previous firms over a long period of time and left on his own accord until the most recent one and can't find a job? In LA? In California? No, not buying that. They tried that on Brothers & Sisters and I rolled by eyes on that storyline beyond believe.

Agent Carter even has talked about secret experiments and other countries keeping super powered beings a secret. To tell the truth it is like Marvel and DC comics, which have done that with their respective histories. Even with changes and retcons, they did that. The real public hero was Captain America and others were in secret until Iron Man. Putting the FF as a TV series or post Inhumans isn't really that hard and after three disasters (even though I think the first 2 weren't bad except for Galactus cloud). Fox doesn't know how to write a super hero movie outside of X-Men. They of course and deal with racism, politics and robots and alternate timelines. Yet, the president of Fox studios has publically admited that he does not like superheroes but they make money. Wrong approach.

I find it funny, some movie theaters are doing half price ticket sales including one 20 miles from where I live for people to go see Fantastic Four. They don't want to lose business and are offering tickets as low as $4.25. I feel sorry for the movie theaters but don't subject people to movie even you know is not worth the price of admission because its not like movies don't bomb.

What's even better, is that it was just shown on both Fox's twitter feed and the Orange and Onion that Fox is actually now handing out surveys on what to with the FF franchise since it hasn't even breached 12 million and is now on track to being #3 at the box office. Everyone is saying on social media and in person: "Give it back to Marvel." No truer words have been said.

You can tell that the movie turned into a mess because the director wanted one thing and the studio wanted another. In fact, all the action scenes that were in the original trailer were cut from the final product and the major fight scene with Dr. Doom is only 10 minutes. You can even tell the reshots because Kata Mara cut her hair after the movie was finished filming. You can see the horrible colored wig in the various scenes and they don't even try to hide it. I got a kick out some people who went to the film going: "It had Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller and that was enough for me." To be truthful, the cast does their best, they are all good actors and in fact I'm looking forward to Creed which MBJ will be in. However, "hot guys" who can act can't save a movie that is so bad, I hate people who use that excuse for films. Or they say its so bad its good, its so bad its even worse. The film does get you in the first half an hour. The set up is fine and then it all goes to hell. In fact it almost take an hour for them to even get their powers and it is a mix of sci-fi and a bit of horror but then its: "One year later" and the film wants to end with only 20 minutes left. In fact, the film is only an hour and 45 minutes. According to Trank, there is almost 25 minutes missing from his version of the film which would round it out just over 2 hours. I'm happy I didn't pay for the tickets but I told my friends I didn't want to see this because I knew it would be so bad. They go: "Don't believe the critics, the actors are all good." I don't go by what others tell me but when you already know it's going to be bad, everyone and I do mean everyone except for 14 year old girls who care more about hot guys than a good movie. The writing is on the wall, my favorite was when we were leaving and one went: "We have to see a mid credit scene." I told them, this is Fox, they aren't associated with Marvel Films, there won't be one. He wanted to stay and then saw there wasn't one. He goes to me and says: "I guess you were right." I just looked and went: "Duh!" Sometimes people just don't want to hear what is true, they have to see it for themselves and then go: "Guess you were right."

Its bad people. I luckily didn't pay but its bad even though it does start off nice and the actors do what they can but there is no middle and then all of a sudden, the movie has to have an ending. Falls on cliches such as: 1. Military... bad. 2. Friend left behind wants to blow everything up. 3. The characters are in name only, they are not characters with 50 year history or related. Michael and Jaime are fine and Michael is the best about the film but he can't even save it. Also, Sue isn't even the main accident she tries to contain it and gets caught in the explosion of dimensional energy. It is so bad. Don't pay to see it, it really is bad and there were 2 people in the movie who got out as fast as they can when it was over. They were so upset they paid for the movie and asked the manager for their money back.

I got the title no problem, knowing it had to be the "Ends with a whimper" of course I can take it a double meaning. Such as this show ending as a whimper since it has such bad writing, acting and I'm sure Ray Bradbury is looking down on the producers and going: "Did you even read my story?" "You got the stupid kids right but the adults at least had intelligence."

Yeah, nukes going off starting in the 40s would not have reached a star system over 200 light years away unless these aliens can detect light in hyperspace. I mean come on and then the Hulk reference. When has Drill been nice to adults to begin with Henry, you stupid kid! Yeah, have Minx and her entire family be the way to stop Drill. Get rid of all of them, because there is no one likeable on this show. "What's that you have their honey?" "It's a loaded gun, Drill says to kill people with it." "Oh that's nice, do you want mac and cheese for dinner?"

I think its worst because people don't say things like that, at least not where I am. My own son who is entering elementary school will say: "Chest, boobs, butt, tooshie." Blossoming Mams I have never heard of, not to mention who is this doctor going out with where they would be "blossoming?"

Which falls into another sci-fi story trap, they aliens always see the worst from less than a handful and go: "They suck!" "Kill them all!"

They turned it into the classic: "Everything out there wants to kill us and everyone is a moron from character A-Z." That is a death sentence for any show. Many big name writers and movie directors even say today: "If you are going to go with: 'aliens evil' then give them motivations and reasons that make the audience say: 'I can identify with that.'" Instead we have: "Drill bad, kids stupid, adults even more stupid. We all going to die!"

Of course she is, all TV affairs are contrive and make no sense or are forced to either make you go: "I would have cheated too." Or "You are so selfish I hope you get it in the end." I also agree on fast growing hair, the beard you can believe. I know someone who grew a Duck Dynasty type in just over a month but head of hair, that's amazing.

"They want to destroy us sir!" The next think that President Chip should have said: "Why does everything in the universe want to kill us?" Wes: "Because that's what all sci-fi writers want to believe unless you are George Lucas or Gene Rodenbury." Aliens just hate us because they can. Probably because we name our children: "Minx" and "Aliana."

Enjoyed both episodes, especially with the Robertsons but I agree. Have they never slepted in a bed and their neck is the first to hurt? I know see knees if you have join problems or injuries. Happened to me once but almost constantly from myself, friends or family, the neck is the first thing most people would say.

I agree on both parts. I was originally excited about it too and then it just fell apart. Even worst was how Rory never really learned anything until the very end that just because she her family and friends thought she was great doesn't mean everyone would. Of course even when she was at Chilton that happened early on too. I think the real problem was that Lorelai didn't really do anything during the rift and Luke was the only smart adult in the entire thing. He said he was involved no matter what and he would support either of them. That was the Luke I knew and love, not the moron that then appeared when April came riding in on her bike. I also had the problem because Richard and Emily looked like they would get a wake up call to their world being the way it was. Then Wedding Bell Blues happened and Chris came back into the picture. Because remember: "The mother of his daughter walked out on him. Poor Christopher!"

I guess she was worried there was going to be the tiniest appearance of her underwear hem. Gasp! The scandal!

Completely agree, it's pretty obvious that Drill can't do anything except through kids or adults that have been hit by the "mysterious rock" from outer space (insert eye roll). Not to mention all the kids are stupid enough to think this is a game where they get their fondest desires. Instead of a creature that is actually making them do very evil things as long as they get what they want. Apparently with all these parents, none of them taught their kids: "Hurting others or killing them is wrong." So, of course they are going to just send them home where a floating fog creature can tell them to do these things because its all knowing and never mind. Lalala, end of the world.

Completely agree and even with Lauren Graham, Scott Paterson and other cast members said. Even if the main actors didn't really like themselves outside the set. They never once said they didn't be good employees and did their jobs on the set as professionals. Even Melissa McCarthy said she had problems with Alexis early in the series but they became friends later on, but they both said they had a job to do and they were professionals when they were on the set. It was the TPTB that had it in their heads the entire "Moonlighting Curse" which many shows have constantly used as an excuse when many critics and former stars of the show have said it was not about writing but about the actors themselves, writers, and the writers strike. It was like on How I Met your Mother when they put various characters together and then didn't know how to write them. They blamed the "Moonlighting Curse" instead of their inability to write good stories for the characters.
