Saw it too. And I don't recally it saying that Luke is a slut for doing the exact same thing which is what made it feel like slut shaming.
I think Hannah's problem, I don't see it as such, it's one of the things I like about her, but I guess others are having issue with it, is that she gets lost in the moment more than any other lead has. This means if she thinks a guy is hot, she's going to make out with him, temporarily forgetting she's got a bunch of other guys who could walk in on them at any moment, and she will swear when she is mad at herself, or will look directly at a producer when she doesn't know what to do. I find it all refreshing and am enjoying her. Then again, I swear and make out with guys so I don't have any issues with her behavour. If I did I'd bow out like I have in past seasons.
Interesting—My post wondering if someone who was offended by Hannah would keep watching has disappeared. Not sure why.
I also have quit watching (Kaitlyn) and never watched (Nick) and watched only the finales (Becca and Colton) when the leads did not interest me for whatever reason.

I think it’s fun having a younger lead (and one who seems a little immature regardless of her age). I think the “f-word” is probably just part of her and others’ her age vocabulary, so no big deal; she could be my granddaughter and I let loose with a “fuck me!” at least once a day. It is also really interesting to me that someone who went really far in the fakest of competitions, the beauty pageant cosmos, is so oblivious to how things like the swearing and the very healthy sexuality that she has might color viewers’ perceptions of her. So refreshing imo to have a lead like Hannah.

.....Cam looks like a skeevier Evan Bass....
I almost posted this but really a toss up of who is skeevier. Cam is definitely auditioning to take his ABC shtick to BIP—he deserves a Carly.
The scary activities are so fake and such a time waster—like they are in any danger whatsoever? No.

I never liked Felicity Huffman but now I have so much respect for her immediately manning up to being an idiot and just pleading guilty in the college admission scandal with so much remorse, probably going to jail, no looking for sympathy.
Chris Soules, two years later, still trying to wiggle out of what he did? What a dick.

Katy can sing. We quit watching though five minutes in. Musical, ugh. Lazy or precious, or both.

I loved that they showed Amy with the Little House book, I knew she loved the TV show and assumed from that that she read the books but I didn't recall this ever being stated. Nice to confirm it. And I dunno about anyone else but I don't think Little House on the Prairie is an easy read - 10 makes sense - and an obsessive fan (as we know Amy is) would be reading and re-reading those books regardless of age.
Not knowing the character or that the Little House books had any significance for her as “an obsessive fan,” I said to Mr MML “that’s a pretty easy book for a child her age.” My second-grade granddaughter actually just read it (she is an avid reader but not particularly precocious, and I remember reading through the whole series myself by third grade) so it was on my radar. As I said, it was the only thing in the YS season finale that wasn’t a universal “true” thing for the kind of children that shared young Sheldon’s intellectual abilities, and I really admire the writers for writing YS to stand in its own like that. Not disparaging the character or the book!

Yes. Adult Amy is obsessed with LHOTP an she writes LHOTP fanfiction.
Cool—Thank you!!!

I think we’ve seen one BBT episode at someone else’s house, a long time ago, and we don’t relate the young Sheldon character or show to the adult versions at all—they stand on their own. There might be little references to the adult versions flying around all the time that we’re just not picking up on, but it’s a testament to the writers and actors that YS works as its own thing. Even this season finale—the other little kids at the end worked as any smart vulnerable misfits (although is Little House on the Prairie—pretty easy reading for a 10-year-old—a thing for that character as an adult? That was the only jarring thing to me without context). Very sweet.

I thought this season was over but two more episodes on 5/30, at 7:00 and 7:30 CDT (and I believe two more after those):
10: When he's kicked off his Harvard phone plan, Jack is offered a chance to leapfrog onto Mary's on one condition -- he must help her break up with her scuzzy boyfriend; Anthony becomes Durbin's right-hand man.
11: After his computer breaks, Jack rallies his class to win the annual Whitlock's Got Talent competition so the prize money can go toward a new laptop; Helen and Durbin host the show; Mary, Stef and Michelle prepare a hand-bell routine.

Definitely this season was still better than almost anything else I have watched, but the never-ending interrogation at the end really took me out of the story as I was just waiting for that part of the episode to end.

Just finished the last episode. Which was ridiculous with the nonstop interrogation of the arrestee, the same thing (document 69, page 20, paragraph 3, blah blah blah). We get it, painstaking work, but omg I was falling asleep. Needed a lot more cuts with Steve and Kate racing around at the same time to get statements and evidence from random witnesses. Really weak compared with the first 5 episodes, and imo this whole season was really weak compared to the previous ones. Not enough of a story so it kept going in circles imo. Still worth watching. Hope the next season is more complex.

I seriously don't know how these writers write this stuff--not only is the story so creative, but the jokes come so fast that the writers have to howling at them before they even get them written down. I have to rewatch this to get everything.
And "Schooled" PTB? BIG mistake downplaying Tim Meadows for the sappy "teachers on a pedestal" crap--you have a genuine comic god! Make him the star!

Sandra is best in small doses. ...
Amy and Jonah continue to have zero chemistry or believable emotion since they've gotten together. All of their scenes have the exact same flat affect, whether it's telling each other that they're in love or the half-baked conflict we got during these episodes. Flirting? It's monotone! Angry? It's monotone!
....
Yes and yes. The character of annoying Amy weakens this show, and there's no comic backstory or shtick to her.

Her growing desperation as Dina was directing them to get Mateo out of the store to her hopelessness at the end was one of the most moving things I’ve seen on TV this year. You can even see the color in her face change. I hope Lauren Ash reads these boards so she knows we are bowing to her.
I thought the ICE was portrayed pretty well, actually—surely they could have taken Amy and Cheyenne in too for obstructing their efforts, but they only took Mateo. Show could have made them clowns. Some funny bits of them getting ice cream and looking at sale merchandise bins, but not over the top.

I don't expect this to be read as there are no people here these days. Is it because the previously.tv forums reorg was such a disaster and no one can find anything? Any tips on a better place to go talk TV? It's more fun to watch when I can snark online after.
I think people aren't posting here because they just didn’t watch this show much (ratings are super-low); lots of posts for higher rated shows. And Abby’s most likely won’t be back for a second season.

This is only the second New Amsterdam episode we watched here at the MML house, but since we have tortured ourselves with every effing episode of Chicago Med, I can only say the Chicago Med bar has been well cleared by the NA writers and cast and we found it riveting.
Although I think there may have been a little writing theft of Crazy Rich Asians in Grandma Leslie's unhappiness with the potential fiancee....

Ah I felt horrible for poor Chasen, the cute pilot, who came out and gave her a paper airplane only to be followed by Peter the pilot who busts out of the limo in his uniform like a damn superhero. Hilarious but I was hoping Chasen would still get a rose. I fear if I was on this show I would hand out a lot of pity roses for the first few weeks as well (like to sweet Matt Donald).
....
So I did think Scott was an ass and no great loss, but... is it really so bad if you've got someone you were casually hooking up with before this show? I mean, let's say this girl didn't consider the relationship to be serious, and he wasn't actually planning on dating her at any point. So what if you were still screwing around with someone when you hadn't even met Hannah yet? I guess I just didn't see it as a huge deal. Didn't Arie break up with his girlfriend like a week before his Bachelor season started filming?
For some reason Chasen seemed like a guy with a pilot license (did they show him with a smaller plane?) and Peter as a real "Pilot" (for Delta?) with a big jet plane. Does (aircraft) size matter to Hannah?
I felt like the whole Scott thing was just major blindsiding, almost bullying, overkill and I hate that it will now follow him forever (God forbid if it makes him suicidal and then the show will be all "bachelor family sympathy"). Give me a break, is that the worst thing he could do? People in their twenties will have history with relationships; just send him home without a rose at the first rose ceremony. Over the top self-righteousness on the show's part--tptb surely had sussed out his girlfriend early on and could have dealt with this earlier, too, like they did with three other guys who were announced but didn't show up for the first show for whatever reason. Be kind, show.

I’m in. She’s confident and nice and didn’t go all “boohoo it’s so hard to send people home” at the rose ceremony. The guys all seem gaga over her. Hope it will be fun.
Sorta liked that the fake bffs spilled the fake beans to Hannah on Scott’s having a girlfriend only because it might keep the tiresome tattletale plot-line at bay, where a little fake clique self-righteously feels the need to expose other contestants’ wrong-reason shenanigans to the lead.
I heard her say “nailed it” a couple of times—maybe Hannah has two catch phrases! We’ll have quite the drinking game this season!

Well that sure had everything tied up with a pretty bow on every little plot line.

Totally unspoiled but: My money is on the local cop who Cassie had dinner with but who is returning to his own turf. Cassie will find something in the files that shows he was the one (not the now dead lead detective) pushing the runaway and London boyfriend story when the girl first disappeared. And she will then be in jeopardy.
Most of the four guys are creepy with secrets but a giant red herring imo.
Nicola Walker has the most beautiful eyes. The blogger Tori Allen-Martin is also in London Kills as a rookie detective. Sunny (Sanjeev Bhaskar)? I am happily married but will drop the hubs for him!

And it's obvious but I will say it again: Lauren Ash is the best thing in this show.
Lauren Ash owns this show and the cast, and she just chews up the scenery and makes everything funnier. She has fully developed her character to the point where she can pull off the tender moments and not lose her edge. Her reaction to seeing her birds escape and Garrett having hidden that from her? Emmy worthy. Splendid every week regardless of what weaknesses might appear in other spots.
I wish Amy would get fired, as she would in the real world, or at least demoted; problems at a specific workplace being slapped on social media would be point right at her. I need her to be professional, not stupid, to make this work; Glenn was a lot more believable as actual management. Plenty of more managementish problem plot lines that could be brought up and finessed by Amy and her sidekick Jonah, but not in such an idiot way. Wish the investigator hadn’t stopped investigating the anonymous employee posting at Carol’s accusation.

....There was something very creepy about Terry Crews covered entirely in gold, except for his face. It was like somebody slapped a human face on a robot or something. The effect was very disturbing. ...
Whereas I found golden Terry to be rather hot; okay, really hot! 😂😂😂 and may have to rewatch a few dozen times!

Best comedy this season and will always be in my top five. The students—omg, such distinct characters, bringing their own kind of funny every episode. Just amazing. Patton Oswalt with Paula Pell, Patton Oswalt with Glenn Howerton—the best. Genius writing and directing. I’ll buy the DVDs but will miss this group and will look for these talented actors elsewhere.
