Finally watching last week's episode... and Brett's (Sunhe's finance) line to Jason's mother about how he hopes to see her again soon has me ROLLING. I'd say he's the only sane one in the bunch, but he plans to marry Sunhe, so...

Like a Rod parent would turn down free pants.

You make some excellent points. Why does no one seem to care that Betty was also traumatized and acting irrationally (both as a teenager and an adult)? I'm sure thinking your boyfriend is dead, being dumped by said boyfriend because he joined a gang and then having to worry constantly about his gang activities, having a serial killer father(!) who killed several of your friends, struggling with self-harm, dealing with your mother's ridiculously outsized expectations, and (later) spending weeks as a captive in yet another serial killer's lair are traumatizing to a person. And if she was so diabolical, why did he invite her to the book launch at all and why was he so upset when she didn't show?

Eek, you're right! Time to rewatch the whole series!

Elizabeth's family should cease family gatherings immediately. Chuck: We haven't fixed anything and everybody's mad, but I hope we can pretend to like each other over bratwurst! Yeah, no.

What's with you and daybreak? (Oops, someone else got there.) Insert quip about Freddie's little ghoulfriend.

Today is Mr. Grey's birthday, which means he gets to pick a Frasier episode to watch (normally we watch in order). He's selected the Jackson Hedley/Shakespearean actor episode. "I DIE, Horatio! *gasp*!"

Oh, I have no issue with scripture nor with memorizing it. It's just that the Rods act like their kids come off an assembly line.

Scripture memorization ability...that's an important quality in a person... These fucking people.

Y'all, I'm having an existential crisis! When I see the name "Ginger," I think it's spelled incorrectly! Dear god, what have I become?!

Asuelu's horrible sister: It's not polite to ask Mom what she does with the money you send her. Me: But it is polite to make demands of Asuelu about HIS OWN MONEY? The "Michael at the fertility clinic" scene was secondhand cringe. I'm still not recovered from it. Angela's cackling, her "jokes" about whether there'd be a woman in the room with him (WTF?), the doctor's obvious embarrassment, and then...the SCENE in the semen room with them talking, thank god I watched it before eating... If anyone needs me, I'll be bleaching my mind's eye.

My husband I say, "ah, but if less is more, imagine how much more more would be" AT LEAST once a week.

Not gonna lie: the thought made my heart go pitter-pat.

Oh JOY...we get to watch Buddy and Whitney yell/snipe/bitch at each other again.

Hate all around! Woot!

Guys, guys, there's no need to fight. It's possible (nay, preferable) to hate both Mike and Natalie.

Jovi's family members were total dicks about Yara's Ukrainian Christmas traditions. Just try something new, assholes. And did I hear Angela claim Michael would "never hear from her again"? Ha, yeah right! He should be so lucky!

Good Lord, I want to call this amateur hour, but I'm afraid to insult amateurs so cruelly.

OMG, Anna's dress was a harbinger of things to come. Seeing her sad face in that wrinkled, ill-fitting comforter of a "dress" always makes me sad.

Aw, thanks! I'm not even gonna lie – I spent way too much of my day (i.e. some of it) trying to figure out what on Earth they'll show in the next season. They're not going to build on Prairie Plague Pass; the wives refuse to live together and now Kody is pretending he never wanted to; we're still in the middle of a worldwide pandemic so no one is really doing anything; last time we heard, Kody was whining that polygamy is Hell... I'm both anticipating and dreading the upcoming shitshow.

I can't believe I'm committing this thought to paper, but... I can't wait to write recaps of the new season. WHAT HAVE I BECOME

When Amy said that it was weird to wake up in bed next to her boyfriend – and not her daughter – my jaw actually dropped.

Brandon's parents are manipulative assholes. Mother Brandon [summoning fake tears]: I can't believe you're mad at me for doing the thing you asked me not to do! Father Brandon [red as a tomato] I'M GOING TO YELL UNTIL YOU DO WHAT I WANT!

You're going to kill us all!

Mike doesn't have Natalie's back at all. They shouldn't have gone to the mom's gotten married in the first place. FTFY Both Mike and Natalie are utterly loathsome.
