I was going to mention that, too! It's banana week!

Maybe I'm misremembering, but didn't Tricia say (at some point, maybe an earlier ep) something about giving Sam money or helping her out with something?

I felt so bad for The Monster. Poor guy. No more cutting, Laszlo!

I hadn't seen that before. So good. "This is Scent of a Woman. You're not blind."

*groan*

I saw Susan Bay Nimoy in the opening credits and wondering if she was Leonard Nimoy's widow. I don't know how everyone else feels, but I don't think she's a very good actress. However, I found her story interesting. I think it was a good decision to allow her her sexuality and "twinkle" rather than subdue her into a typical, traditional grandmother. I didn't catch everything Oliver said, but I think she would be on medication that wouldn't stifle her sexual drive, but would in some way control it? Maybe someone else can clarify this. I don't get what's going on with the psychiatrist and her patient. If I were the doctor, I would have insisted that I couldn't treat her any more. I would probably even be upfront with her and say that I knew she had had an affair with my husband. As for ... (checking characters' names) ... Ericka and her choice of Van, I'm confused. She was always looking at Jacob and seemed infatuated with him. What happened?

I agree. Of course there are very funny parts, but yeah, not the best. I was struggling to figure out who that was, had to read the credits at the end. He was excellent. Love how normal he was talking about March Madness. SEEMS to be? I love how the woman, Lisa, really found the jokes funny at first. But of course Nadja takes it too far. My brother is like that. He thinks if you laugh once at a joke, you'll always laugh at that same joke. Anyway, poor Lisa couldn't even escape into the bathroom. I wonder if Nadja will eventually realize that no one thinks she's funny, then she'll take her revenge. It cracked me up that she assumed the documentary was about a slow guy. Fits. I certainly hope we will see Charmaine in later eps treating Nandor like he's mentally challenged. I used to watch Wipeout. I loved that show. Poor Sean. He's been thru so much and doesn't even know it! But it was sweet when he told Laszlo that since he knows he's not going to live long, he is living life to the fullest. I think my favorite part of the ep was when Laszlo told the doctor about Sean being possessed, etc., and the doctor merely said, "We all have WebMD don't we." I feel bad for doctors who have to listen to patients telling them what they've diagnosed via Google. Heck, I've done that. I know the doctor knows more than I do, but I can't help sharing the invaluable information I unearthed. I noticed that after Colin Robinson beat up Guillermo, he had blood on his glasses. And there it it: Jordan is setting Guillermo up to be the fall guy.

I didn't know bananas were so divisive.

Of course. Instead of good acting, a lot of actors are beloved for their screen presence, charisma, or personality. John Wayne is probably one of them.

I really liked Brent Sexton, too. I was worried at first that he'd be a bad guy, so I'm glad that wasn't the case. I enjoyed the interactions betw him and Colter, and I wouldn't mind him being a permanent addition, though I'm sure that won't happen. But I really like when Colter has someone working alongside with him. Yeah, I noticed that, too. I always figure there's a reason the writers decide to do something like this. It must be deliberate. Writer 1: Then Colter pulls out his binoculars to look at the tree... Writer 2: No, he borrows the cop's binoculars. Writer 1: Why not use his own? He must have them in his backpack. He has everything else. Writer 2: Well, today he forgot them. Ya see, when he borrows the cop's binoculars, it creates a bond between them. They're sharing stuff. And that leads to Colter trusting him to look into Mina's disappearance. Writer 1: Gee. You're so smart. You should be Writer 1.

Well that's just stupid. (Not directed at you.)

That was a regular dessert in our house.

This had potential. The performances should have been sharper. There were a couple of lines of Charli's that I couldn't understand. And I figured it would turn out that the son was actually how the parents were describing him. Lazy, predictable writing. It wasn't a surprising twist.

TS:DR (too small: didn't read) Whip N' Chill!

I ain't asking my sister to do that. I was surprised to see Sam bring up being interested in a guy. I didn't think she'd acknowledge that so soon. But I like it. She and Tricia had some nice sisterly conversations. I guess the 'love notes' that Sam found really were from their mom to their dad, but I kind of wonder if they're actually from another woman. Probably not. Why have I never before come across a woman who spelled her name Cathleen with a C. When Tricia and Sam went to urgent care, I was surprised Tricia didn't mention her breakfast appointment with Cathleen. I wondered if she even forgot. I felt so bad for Joel and how uncomfortable he was with the bible study group. The guy coming up to Joel saying, "I didn't want to assume you don't like sports," and then running into the bully from high school. Those two guys were trying to be accepting, and maybe they really are, but it was all very awkward and triggering for Joel. Brad continues to please me. All Joel had to do was ask to be allowed to load the dishwasher as he likes -- but glasses on the bottom rack?!? -- and to put photos on the fridge, and Brad said ok. Brad having road rage was pretty funny, esp when the other driver sincerely apologized. I have to tear up at least once per ep, and here it was when Joel and Brad said 'I love you' to each other. BTW, what's with the names Brad, Bruce, and Brett? I always wonder why writers choose particular names for their characters, and it bugs me when names are too similar. I can get confused. Obviously I won't confuse these three guys, but still, why choose such similar character names? Brad to Joel: Bruce was just telling me he has a lot of weapons. Sam: Say hi to jesus for me. Joel: I always do.
