It was just like the other week on Station 19 with the woman who was trying to sneak into a hospital to see her son before a possible life or death operation. They dropped her off at Grey/Sloan and she apparently just got up and left bleeding from the head. Some great trained staff there! That's also what drove me crazy about the storyline especially when the girl was saying; "I hate school, everyone is stupid this and that and the boys hate me because I'm smarter than them." So, she just magically got this juice box with no one seeing her? That she snuck in her personal stuff when she had been in the hospital for days? Oh come on!

Truth!

They did that about 10 years ago on Nip/Tuck with Christian's life be revealed to be a result of a sexual assault from a known family friend that he looked like as an adult. I believe that was better handled, this is going to be very heavy handed. The truth is, it's the world we live in now, my own sister-in-law took the dna test to track down any relatives who might suffer from Alzheimer's. I see this happening to a lot of adoption kids.

The kid's plot was even cliche. Another problem is, it also shows how limited teens are. Even with Alex explaining how the insurance will only do so much and she is like: "Fine, whatever, I don't want the surgery so I don't have to face it." Yeah, and then flashforward a couple of years and it will be: "FUCK! End this pain, I can't have it anymore." It just gets to the point with someone people where you just want to go: "So, in pain and avoiding life is the best?" "Yeah, good luck having a life or even having a job with that?" I hate cliche crap like that!

It's not funny because they are shown so much being capable of things and then all of a sudden: "Me not know how to do this." Like last episode with Claire saying she doesn't understand spacial or area. It was like: "I'm sorry, she doesn't know if she can fit through a door? It was like when they were going up the stairs with the crib and then got stuck when you could CLEARLY see they just had to move a bit to the left and the crib would go up fine. Just like we were to believe that Haley was ordering pizza at all hours of the night and NO ONE noticed it? It just makes you go: "Oh stop!" It was to make a bad punchline and the writers act like no one has EVER watch the show. I agree, just let it go, it's more of the show trying to keep it going when seriously, people who live in a country for a number of years despite being from another country. It fades, my aunt grew up in mexico and has lived in the us since she was 23. Guess, what? She barely has any type of accent and her sister has none who also grew up in the SAME place. It fades or you get one that is close to were you live.

Right and then when Doris came out about everything, you wanted to go: "This is to far." It made JK Simmons character in Whiplash look like he was Mr. Rogers. I get it, a paradoy, but the show is going too far with these stories just for a punch line. Also, you do have to just wonder at what point do all these "rich" wives can throw money before their husbands who actually bring the money go: "ok, enough of this crap!" We are just to think: they throw money at their wives, don't want to have sex with them because they are all trophies wives, but any other "normal" town would have kicked them to the curb or they would have been arrested or hit with restraining orders. Even at the end when Greg and Katie were seeing how much school was going to cost them, you just wanted to go: "Really? Like duh! Do you ever look things up?" It's like when Oliver goes at Greg about his passions and things about recycling are BS. Yet, does he ever look up the facts or anything? Of course not, he just is: "How dare you question stuff I love!" It's never: "Oliver... why do you have to just shit on all the stuff I enjoy like your mother. Can't I just like something?"

It was funny they hit all the talk that was going on after Phantom Menace came out. Even funnier, how you get this same talk with Last Jedi today, just more on social media and internet. Since in 99 the internet was still so young and not a lot of major complains or forums were active then. Instead of today since Episodes 7-9 have now are are soon to be out. I loved the Jedi battle in the Gym because that is a constant in schools these days, just using pool noodles. I had the Qui Gon and Darth Maul Lightsabers (now tucked away) so I smiled seeing the real thing.

Yes. and you are seeing various background characters transitioning to Schooled, which is going to get another season. It wouldn't be the hard for them to move the characters that are still alive in the 90s over there. Including Barry, Erica and others.

I really, really, really hate it when they do people like that, where the most simplest thing is: "Duh... which way did they go, George!" Especially, someone like Phil who showed he had experience.

I felt the best episodes were from seasons 3-6, it was in season 7 that it started going down hill. Don't even get me started on the disaster that was Amy's family and especially when Chris Elliot replaced Paul Rebuns as her brother.

More like Jackie Oh you didn't!

Oh no kidding. Plus the way Greg and Katie went about it just puts them looking like idiots too. They know what type of student and person Taylor is. They would jump at the chance of Taylor being on something like American Idol. They treated it as: "Nope, you need school, even though some days you or your boyfriend don't know the grass from astro turf."

That's exactly it. I'm a teacher and I also agree that not everyone is going to go to college or even has the right frame of mind to go into college. However... there are many people out there that can do: trade school, work hard in something I are passionate about, open their own business, go into the family business, ect. However, with Junior it's: "College scares me, I need an easy fix, I'm taking a 'gap year'." They have argued all season and everyone has had a point from Pops to Jack and Diane, Junior needs to get out and do something with his life. He is constantly waiting around for a big break just so he doesn't have to face the reality of: "going to college". At this point, I think the writers have forgotten why they had Junior drop out and even having a bigger mess trying to get him out of his "gap year" mindset. Especially when the rest of his family keeps looking at him going: "You are going to end up dead or kicked out of the house at this rate." I see the latter happening after the fact that Dre just cut off Zoey over on Grown-ish. They said that story will effect Black-ish towards the end of the season. I can see Zoey coming home and begging Bow to get her money again or something, but I also see Bow going: "Nope, sorry, and why don't you take your brother with you, we are done with him too."

Hell, the way they even had Delilah going into labor early is making me wonder if they are going to turn this all around and the baby is really Jon's. In one way it resolves an issue with Eddie and Katherine and now they can move forward. On the other hand it also calls into the entire situation with Jon's ex business partner's wife and her now firefighter husband who basically acts like Jon knocked up Barbara in a heat of the moment and then decided to walk out on them due to guilt over his friend. At least what the video was implying when we saw the son seeing it (even more crap they just left it there, plush why would the son just go: "Oh hey, computer I need to look up my Twitch account, what's this? A video card?" Plus, with Jon's secretary returning next season from Spain, apparently the "secret accounts" are going to come into play again. If they reveal that Jon did some shady dealing with some people to get money in there. Then I can see why she was hiding everything, in fear that they would go after Jon's family or even Barb's.

Right and did he go about it wrong and Junior had a point? Oh yes, but at the same time, this was someone who worked hard and could move up in the company. Junior also doesn't have a lot of "life experiences" when he said at the end: "Because of this I'll NEVER have to go to college again." Just basically shows that Junior wants an easy fix. He isn't worry about growing as a person in experience or in life. He wants someone that isn't going to scare him or makes him feel he isn't ready for at any point in his life. Junior isn't introverted, if anything he has been shown to be quite extroverted with his ideas and what he does. However, he has constantly been: "This is too much for me, I need to run to my room, someone give me an easy out."

How true, and instead of Junior going: "yes, you are right!" He made a big deal over it. That's Junior's major problem, he ALWAYS goes into full panic mode like Dre at times. Instead of going: "Ok, can we talk about this." He goes into flight or fight mode and it's always flight. It's like here with Dre getting upset about the article and then basically saying them to shove their free money where the sun don't shine. Bow's handling of it was much, much better, and still totally Bow when she put herself in the rewrite. However, it also makes Dre and Bow look like idiots because it was a teen who wrote this article and who took advice from his mother. Yes, it's a rough neighborhood, but she is acting like it's the 1990s on saying: "Poor kids get a second chance." Instead of: "Two hard working students accomplish a dream."

Truth!

Right and that's why she spends so much money on beauty creams and was so upset she couldn't still fit into her wedding dress last year. She feels once her looks are gone, she is screwed.

Plus, we probably won't see much of Eve for a season 8. The ratings were up for the first time in over a month for Fox's time slot. However, Molly has a movie coming out and is busy filming two more, there is even rumors that she might be up for a Marvel Movie coming down the pipe. Also, Christin Yu, who plays the exchange student has been in talks for the upcoming Shang-chi movie about her being a childhood friend of Shang for his origin story, which is another Marvel Property. Plus, exchange students don't stay past a year, so how are they going to explain her still being there? Even with the show being off the air for a year, they actually explained that year still happened in real time with the series. While Disney has acquired things from Fox and now can do more MCU Marvel Movies. That is really pulling more cast members away from LMS, plus add in Toy Story 4 and some talk that Nancy Travis might be doing a Pixar movie in the near future and other series on both Hulu and Netflix that people like McCook and then add in McMaster's involvement with Scientology. I don't see the show lasting past next year.

Right and going as far to hire a teacher to kill her dream. Here is the situation for both Greg and Katie, they should have been: "We will get you there, you have a one in a million shot, but at least take your chance." While this showed how Taylor isn't "book smart" the way they have portrayed her character the last few years. She is either oblivious or so stupid she can't tie her shoes. Yet, Greg and Katie are: "Everyone should go to college?" No, not everyone "goes to college", but do they have the right to try? Oh yes! Plus, really, Greg and Katie wouldn't have done their research on schools? What happen to your tenure Greg and all this crap you do for things no one else cares about so you have more financial security? I hate to be your financial planner. No, she has just mentally checked out until she finds something else she enjoys and believes working for people who aren't super dumb asses. Of course this episode once again proved a point that these women have nothing better to do than to say: "We have money, our husbands don't sleep with us and we nothing better to do with our lives, so fuck you all, I'm special?" Half of these women would be divorced or the town would turn their backs on them and go: "Yeah, you aren't the next coming, get the F out!"

Since season 6. Hell, go back to just last season over the situation with the bathroom remodel. Jay AND Manny were warning her that she was going about it wrong and leaving things open for Joe to just walk in and get himself hurt. However, she just didn't want to admit that. Then everything happen and even Manny said: "Mom, really can't you just admit you were wrong?" Gloria went into an entire spiel like if she did that, Jay would divorce her and kick her to the curb. Same goes when Jay had secretly video recorded her breaking remotes when she doesn't get how they work. Even going as far as her, Manny and even Joe telling her she has the wrong remotes for the wrong things. Instead of looking at them or maybe, you know checking the batteries. She breaks them and then cleans up and hides the mess. She still admitted it wasn't her. Same has gone with how they write Lilly now, she is always pissed off or sniping everyone now. This entire situation should have been Mitch and Cam going: "Honey, we knew this was coming and I know we don't know how to talk about this? However, please just let us know what you would like us to do because you can't stay in the bathroom all day?" Which basically is what they did at the end. How Gloria still thinks your period was about demons because she grew up in Columbia and still things that way after living in the US for over 20 years, just come on!

It also doesn't help that Junior said: "I'll never have to go to college again!" Which means, he doesn't want to go back. It was spur of the moment reply to Jack and Diane. Junior is afraid to go to college, plain and simple. Which also portray's his "gap year" as even more BS. He was scared of his roommate and not finding himself in college. So, it was: "No, fight or flight mode and I choose my nice warm bed." Junior never thinks things through and its not like he hasn't come up with some good ideas that would work if his siblings or parents didn't sabotage him when he has something working very well. Reminds me of 2 years ago when he started investing in items that were selling good because he was watching what Zoey liked and what she was promoting on her social media. Because you know, NO ONE ever thinks of that? Of course it was Zoey feeling she was being used and sabotage something that was working out well for Junior. Same goes back to season 2 with Junior showering with Dre to save money and prove a scientific point for his class project. All Dre had to say was: "Junior, this makes sense, but I'm your father and you are 16!" "Think about this for a second?" No, he kept letting Junior do it until Dre finally had enough and told him to grow up and get the hell out. Junior would do less stupid stuff if everyone would sit him down and talk things through with him instead of either enabling his stupid behavior or supporting him when he does DO something right. Of course, look at this episode to show you why he is like that. Or the rest of the family.

It's so sad that a lot people do it based on a pride thing. I had a friend of mine who was getting a state grant to pay for some new stuff their office really needed. The business director put a stop to the purchase because it was making them look like a cheapskate. Well as a result, they never got the equipment, someone ELSE took the company money for their own department because they knew that this grant was coming through. As a result, they basically let free money go to waste because the state was: "You denied us paying you, so try again next year." The business manager was fired as a result. I also had a situation just last year, I needed all new computers for my department. They had PLENTY of money in the budget and I had gotten approved for a $30K grant, but it wouldn't come through sadly until February due to political red tape BS from the state. The director at the time wasn't willing to spend the money and said: "You have stuff that is only 3 years old, you can deal with it." Yeah, it was all cheap refurbished stuff so as a result it broke apart faster. I got the grant back this year and that director has since been fired. So, the new director was: "Tell me what you want and we will get this stuff ordered, it's not our money, so we are fine spending it." It was sadly, too realistic the way Dre went about it, but sadly, so many people get pride or looking like some loser they just want to ruin a good thing for everyone.

Yes, that's the problem with this current generation from 14-27. They feel that someone is always there to bail them out. However, here is the problem, why some people are living longer these days, many are dying by 55 from over set stress and yes, it's because they are doing more than they should be at that age. Like STILL raising their kids or grandkids because they raised them so dependent on others. I'm in education, you be surprised how many ready to graduate are still: "Mom, get me out of this, I did something student." Instead of: "Your mess, you are 18 learn to clean it up yourself now." It's: "Oh my poor baby, I'll fix those fuckers!" Then a few years later, these kids are truly adults and then go: "I can't keep a job!" "Why can't I just sleep in? I'm tired!" Yeah, welcome to the real world, what your parents SHOULD prepare you for. Not, how to just do the bare minim and think everyone is going to bail you out.

That pissed me off too, it was completely a pride thing. You know how much in scholarship and grant money goes unused or not claimed early year? 3 billions dollars! 3 billion in free money from undergraduates to doc students all because they get talked out of it or they don't know where to look for it. IT'S FREE MONEY! At least Junior is starting to finally get himself a reality check, he isn't college material, because he has a very: "The world is too big for me." However, he does have a great work ethic, so opening his own business or doing maybe a type of apprenticeship or trade school is the way to go. However, seriously, the entire "gap year" story line has been pretty much a dud. It was never thought out.
