Heh. When I read @Clanstarling's post about Ugly Betty, it didn't even register to me that that was incorrect. Honestly, sometimes I conflate Gina Rodriguez and America Ferrera.

I don't trust her either, and like you I figure she's connected to Sir. Maybe not, maybe she's just a bad person. I think I'm ready to give up on this show. I really don't like Gabi. Frankly, I don't think I like any of the characters. I may just follow recaps.

My English mother made trifle with jello, pudding, jam, whipped cream, and lady fingers, IIRC. I'm sure there was fruit of some kind in there, too, but I don't remember what. Also rum or sherry drizzled on the lady fingers. When I make trifle I leave out the jello -- ick -- and also the liquor.

I'm with you, but then I was spending time on my phone at the same time. Humblebrag.

I thought Chappelle was using a vape when he came out. Did he switch to a cigarette?

Ugh. To be honest, I was playing a game on my phone while I watched. A few things I liked: In the CO, Joy saying, "You can call me Ann Reid because the Joy is gone." And Trump saying, "We will be indoors. Too many people to fit outside." I admit it took me a second to get this, as did the audience. Also, I never noticed Trump pronouncing inauguration as "in-orgeration." Of course, I try to avoid all video of him speaking. Hardly listened to the monologue. Too long. Glad I was on my phone so I missed Chappelle's balls in my face. In WU, I liked the line that after Biden speech listing his accomplishments, he said, "You ungrateful bastards." Amen. I also liked the line about Zuckerberg flying out to Maralago: "And boy are his knees tired." Completely FF'd past the music. Terrible show.

S01.E12: The Doctor Whose World Collapsed

I can imagine that the force of the elevator hitting the bottom of the shaft and instantly stopping would produce severe and possibly fatal injuries. -
But when she said to sound not so robotic or something, it changed to woman's voice and sounded better.

I'm sure I'll change my mind eventually, but I hate AI. I was disgusted to see Angie using it for this statement of remorse. I immediately thought of it as product placement, though maybe that doesn't make sense. Does ABC have something to do with AI? I assume all big corporations do. Anyway, I guess I need to accept that some people just don't know how to write. That handyman or whatever he is is a bit strange. I get the feeling he likes Angie in a non platonic way. I'm going to guess that he behaves inappropriately, maybe stalks her or something creepy and dangerous. I actually found the scenes of Angie and the guy (when he's hammering and then when he brings her flowers) to be kind of stupid, like the writers don't know what to do with Angie or are just filling space. Nice scene, and funny. I liked him this ep. His 'goblin' DMV photo was funny, and then how he handled himself thruout the ep was enjoyable. I didn't think about that, but I was thinking that she should stay in the crowds or go to the security office. Going to the restroom was just about the worst place to go. However, I can accept that she did so because she was young and scared out of her mind. Right. And I don't know how she would have had it. The guy shot Penelope then grabbed Sunny. Did Sunny say, "Wait! I need my game system!" I think not. Did the guy say, "Before I kidnap you, do you need anything? Like your game system?" Nope. And that thing was too big for her to hide from him. I generally liked this ep. I'm curious what's going to happen with Sunny and Amanda. I hope to see Raphael again. I liked him and the actor. I don't mind Gina Rodriguez. I don't like Angie. I love Betty!

They probably threw out everything but reused the zipper. 😄 Interesting what you said about Huntington's. I didn't realize it was a rare disease, probably because, as you said, so many TV characters seem to have it.

I could be wrong, but I'm assuming he's going to be in more eps. Like you said, he didn't get to do much. I did like their interactions, so hopefully he'll be back. Ava said his father had a stressed(?) face, so maybe there's trouble at home. Maybe his father can't work or doesn't have a job. That would be stressful for RJ, as well as something he might want to hide. First off, she's attractive. But maybe he also likes strong women and even sees a hidden vulnerability. Loved at the beginning when the guy was talking to Ava, and Mr Johnson was cleaning the glass very squeakily. Cedric the Jani-taynor. I also liked how in the podcast, Jaden and Aaliyah were covering for RJ. Gregory to Jacob: So you think just anyone can do this job? *ding DING ding DING* I'm with Gregory about chocolate-covered raisins. Not that raisins are ruined by the chocolate, but that the two don't belong together. Yuck. Gregory saying to Barbara, "Oh, and you just HAD to sing," was funny. I wasn't crazy about the storyline with Janine and the practice tests.

I don't see that viewers who never watched Sunny have hijacked the discourse, whatever that means. For myself, I'm just saying that because I never saw Sunny, I wasn't able to enjoy the characters like those familiar with the characters would. There were a lot of in-jokes that bypassed me. Those kinds of jokes and references are great for Sunny fans, but not for non-Sunny viewers.

I didn't know he had back issues. I've been watching Chicago Med (into S2 now), and I wondered if Oliver Platt had had a physical issue when he was in a wheelchair and then using a cane in a subsequent ep. There seemed no story point in the character being in a wheelchair, in contrast to Alec's medical problem.
