I finally got around to watching last night. I didn't know who was going to be in this season, so lots of the names excited me. But boy, when Jason Isaacs, whom I love, first spoke, I thought he was doing an Australian accent. It always surprises me when English actors do lousy American accents. Parker Posey's southern accent is too OTT. I guess I missed that she was a pill-popper. I thought she was just wiped out from jet lag. I remember her saying (in bed, IIRC) she had taken a pill (the name of which I can't remember), but where did we see or hear of her taking other stuff? I only noticed the daughter's clothes at the temple. I was glad to see pics here of what she wore elsewhere. My thought is that she's a budding Buddhist, so she has taken up wearing modest clothes. The older brother is a real creepo, but I get the feeling that we'll see that facet of him crack. It's always great to see Walton Goggins. Wonder what his interest in the resort owner's husband is. And I was happy to see Belinda, too. No clue where her storyline will go. The reveal of Greg was a gasp moment. Yes, he's a bad guy, but I was excited to see him. I expect the show will use him well. As I recall, he came across as a nice guy when we first met him, so he knows how to hide his true nature and attract apparently nice, attractive women like like the one at the bar. I guess they've been together for at least a year. I'm not a fan of monkeys, so every time we see them in the trees, watching, I get the creeps.

I misread this as "It's nice seeing Burn Gorman's name," and I was all Who did he play?!?!?

It looks like will brought Betty to work. Maybe this is the only scene with her, but I'll take it.

I really didn't like that there was a storm and the power went out. Of course the rest of the plot couldn't have happened without it, but I just didn't like it. As you said, it seemed like a Halloween ep. I also thought it would be the brother-in-law, though it did seem too obvious. However, I will say that when Freddy was first introduced (I can't remember how many eps ago), I thought there was something odd about him. No Betty. Big boo. I enjoyed all the lines, esp the Mariachi puns. There was a lot of humor, which I appreciate. I liked how Will and Angie worked together. I did not know what all the hand signals were that Angie was feeding him when they had Freddy in that one room, but obviously Will knew. I'm so so glad Pete saved Caroline. I figured there was no way the show would have him lose her. Like others, I want Raphael to not be a real bad guy. I mean, yes, he's a gang leader or whatever, but I want him to be a lovable gang leader.

I do like when he's working with someone, though I had issues with the ex-cop.

I'm sorry to say I forgot about him. I always enjoyed him on the show. He always added to even mediocre sketches.

I too think Taran is wasted on High Potential, but I'm always glad to see him. I recently rewatched The Sloppy Swish. 🤣

I thought that was a joke: The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City? Also, Stephen congratulated John on becoming a citizen. I thought he became a citizen long ago.

Yeah, in the previous ep where Colter finds that the cop has kidnapped and beaten the guy, Colter seems really disturbed by it. But now... all is forgotten! Very weird. I didn't like it either. And then in this ep were other instances where the cop (or ex-cop, I guess) threatened violence or shooting or whatever, and Colter hardly blinked. Not good. But I'm glad the case is over. Like others here, I was somewhat surprised that it was resolved so quickly. The moment we saw the son-in-law sitting there, I knew he was Teacher. I couldn't remember the actor's name, but any time you see a familiar face, you know, 99% of the time, that they're the bad guy. I really really hate how dark scenes are filmed these days.

There was that video of a 'guard' at the Treasury Bldg, I believe, with a bunch of members of Congress telling him to let them in. He just seemed to be ignoring them. What if they had pushed past him?

If Musk and his minions are not employees of the federal government, how can they fire people?

I'm not a Domingo sketch fan, though I do like Domingo himself. The first time was fine, with the intentional bad singing, but I'm just tired of it. I think some of the performers who can actually sing like doing the fake bad singing. So it seems self-indulgent to me.

That was very distracting to me. I was never sure if he was supposed to be part of the gag or just didn't know how to sit like a normal person. Overall, I thought the show was excellent. I absolutely LOVED Eddie Murphy. Steve Martin gave a great monologue. Will Ferrell is always great. Tina and Amy, Fred, Meryl, and, well, just on and on. There were years when I didn't watch SNL, so a lot of those commercials were new to me and looked hilarious. I admit I couldn't listen to Paul Simon or Paul McCartney. I didn't like Myley. Nor Lil Wayne or Jon or whoever that was. Mulaney is great. Nate was such a highlight for such a little bit in the audience Q&A. I love him.

I thought it was, too. Loved that song. I knew this show would be hard to watch. I still try to keep up with the news -- often on Bluesky -- but it sometimes feels like self-flagellation. I literally scream FUCK YOU when I drive past a house or site with Trump flags and signs. I really don't understand how this is happening. Checks and balances? Where are those? The whole idea, of those pulling the strings, is to destroy the federal government. Trump's plan is to make himself more money, play the king, and get revenge. Do Republicans really want to see Russia, China, and other authoritarian countries take over the world? Removing USAID leaves a vacuum that will be filled by these players. I knew it was coming, but I've been checking Google Maps to see if the Gulf of Mexico had been renamed. Yup. Apple Maps, too. What a shitshow.

True, but a plus (for me) is that maybe then the show will drop the romantic dramas, at least w/Will, and concentrate on the cases. And he'd have more time for Betty!
