A thing I like about this show is that they don't spoon feed us every....single....plot....point. They seem to be believing their audience has a brain and can make some leaps on their own. We don't need to see what happened to the big gun...we've seen in the past the team grab anamolistic things, so we can assume they grabbed the gun. We don't need Flynn to explain how he found Emma, because he's already explained about the diary, and they showed him looking at it at the cabin.

I had no problem with Lucy killing Jesse James. He was supposed to have died 2 days before, and he proved he was going to just keep killing. I just figured with all the stuff in the cabin, she had(Emma) to have planned her "death" so packed accordingly.
Besides saving the reporter, what other changes has Wyatt made? I see the team doing their best to keep history from changing, and any changes that have been made by them have been in trying to right what was changed. The biggest changes have been made by Flynn. My biggest nitpick with the show is that there was no fallout from the Benedict Arnold episode - and that no one else appears to have any changes made in their lives - and oh year....it doesn't equate with Lucy if sister comes back, Mom will probably be sick again.
We didnt' see everything Jiya saw, the last thing we see her looking at is Emma looking concerned/upset. Also, I don't think the guy in jail killed Wyatts wife - just how he said what he said.
I would love it if Lucy's problem with the horse was something that really happened and they just kept it in the show and filmed reactions after. I really love the teams dynamics, how they joke with each other and look out (usually) for each other. I agree they should have shown more concern for what Lucy did.

Okay, so I gave in and watched last night. Have to say, didn't hate it. Though I still saw flashes of "clara," I think the contacts Jenna is wearing help remove that some for me. She's coming off just as she should be, an inexperienced girl trying to assert herself.

Yay! Another episode I liked! I'm thinking West might know who Tip really is? I wonder who does know (besides Mombi) who Tip really is. Also, when will Mombi come back? They definitely showed her arm moving in the last episode she was in. I don't think Dorothy and Lucas moved too fast. They've been together several days and been through a couple of stressful situations together. What happened to the rocking red dress she was wearing last time we saw her?

Does Jason go here? Life is not all pickles is posting on Facebook that Jason has bought a very fixer upper house (with help from Daddy).

At least with the older girls, it wasn't a leap to be able to envision them kissing (and other stuff) with their intended. With Joy, all I can see is a giggling attempt followed by a disgusted turn of the head.

This is the one that rankles me because it's always a plot point. 'We have to go now, before he gets away!' No you don't - time machine. Take a while to get some sleep, or properly equip, or research the time period, or find someone better at fighting. Take a year to prep, you'll still get there exactly on time.
This is the thing that really bugs me about this show (and other time travel shows) when I don't deliberately try to ignore it. As soon as they learn about Flynn's location in the past, it should already be too late because he's had years (or centuries) to complete his nefarious deed before they ever can leave to stop him.
I think it's the X-men time travel theory. Everything remains the same UNTIL you return to your time period. So the longer they wait to go after Flynn, the more chance there is of him coming back to current time with everything changed - team's memories would change and they would have no idea of it. Now, Flynn does have to give himself a window to return to so he doesn't return on himself, so they would have a couple of hours, but I wouldn't think much more.
QuoteI don't really buy that Lucy knew so much about HH Holmes (his real name, his family, etc) but wouldn't recognise him as "George". I get that he's not a major figure of history, but she seems to have read enough about him that she should have seen his picture before
I think there is only Holmes mugshot. Lucy could be very familiar with him and never seen a picture. I read about him last year, but didn't read the book, so never saw a picture.
-
Thought this was another good episode. I guess I'm one of the few who think the team works well together - and likes Wyatt? He was already in the process of shooting George when George reached for the weapon. The face he makes at Bonnie and Clydes henchman still cracks me up - in a good way. Even though his mission is to get Flynn, he makes his actual mission keeping Rufus and Lucy safe. Please, Please, please don't let this show be cancelled.

What happened to the side window by the door? I don't remember it looking like that cheap aluminum replacement stuff. It almost looks like one of those things you put in sliding doors so you can have a doggy door, but I don't see a doggy door (and can't imagine them having one). Wonder if the original got broken and this was the cheap replacement JB chose.
Why are all the desserts crammed on one end of the Industrial counter? It isn't like they don't have counter space. The whole thing not being covered with the brown paper bothers me too. They could have taken it all the way to the sink, and if there wasn't enough food, covered the paper with cute pictures. They do at least have some drawing skills.
Looking through the TLC pictures - why are only the Desserts out in the common room? Why is the main course back in the industrial kitchen? It looks like they actually did have enough food - the soup, salad, saw a plate of garlic bread. They just didn't make each dessert for all 130 guests. Instead it looks like they made 130 desserts total.

Just believing there is a God or that Jesus is for real isn't enough to make you a Christian. #jameschapter2verse19 True faith is repenting of your sin & letting Jesus become your boss
I swear, she writes like a 10 year old. "....or that Jesus is for real..." "...letting Jesus become your boss." Really? I'm assuming it's beyond her to write, "...that Jesus really existed..." or, "...allowing Jesus to be your leader (or something along those lines)."
Having said that, I really love the scale with the fruit in it in the background of the pic with her and Izzy.

It looks like Jessa might actually be wearing some maternity wear. I don't get that they don't buy maternity clothes given how often they plan to be pregnant. Some of Meechelles shirts looked like maternity shirts to me.

Is Samira Wiley MOira? I inferred that from the scene where she is shaking her head at Offred

The Daleks were still destroyed, and it LOOKED like Gallifrey was destroyed, something the Doctor chose not to divulge as false. My question revolves more around the "can't go back in his own timeline" thing (though I guess the Rose thing made a loophole for that). the 11th Doctor obviously remembered the events in England with Elizabeth (when the wormhole shows up and he says, "oh, this is where I come in." but he doesn't remember anything else? Yeah, I know, "The doctor lies." But so much of the Doctor's angst is from the destruction of Gallifrey, why doesn't 9, 10, or 11 remember Gallifrey is actually timelocked? I usually have no problem with time travel stuff, but that one bugs me.
Another Angels problem from the episodes with River Song and younger Amy. If Angels are solitary creatures (as 10th Doctor said) because they can't risk being seen, how could there be such a herd of them chasing everyone through the caves of the dead or whatever they were called? Wouldn't the ones in the back be quantum locking the ones in front of them? Angels become Quantum locked when they are seen....it says nothing about Angels needing to see the thing that is seeing them to become locked.

I would normally be all over this show, but I really hate Jenna Coleman with the fire of a thousand burning suns. She ruined the 11th Doctor, and she was the reason Peter Capaldi's doctor had such a rough start. It will be difficult to get over my loathing. She'll have to really be different from Cora for me to stand the show, and from the previews, it doesn't look like she is.

From the quick glance, the person playing Serena Joy looks kind of like I pictured her; tired, blonde. Now Joseph Fiennes...no. The commander should be someone like....Liam Neeson would be good

I don't think Spurge is particularly cute - he just always looks happy and engaged! Izzy looks happy, but he doesn't look like hes' engaged with anyone around him. The same was true of all the Duggar kids. I don't remember ever seeing ANY of them looking as happy as Spurge does - and you definitely never saw Jim Bob or Michelle just laughing with genuine glee at their kids antics the way Jessa Ben do.

I do have to say that Ben and Jessa look and act like they adore Spurge. They seem to be holding him because they want to, not have to; they play with him; talk to him, all things you never saw Boob and Meechelle, or the sister moms do. I've yet to see Jill or Derick look at Iz the way Jessa and Ben look at Spurge.

Enjoying sex is highly encouraged, but they still have to be willing and able whenever hubby want.
-
Can Jill look any less enthusiastic? She is just standing there with her arms not moving, very still and more robotic than usual. I watched it without the sound, and Im very glad. just watching Meechelle do the baby voice was annoying.
Jill seriously looks like she has ppd - but it's been so long since Izzy was born - I really hope not.

Okay....I'll go with someone elses body...that is attached to your body through a cord and siphoning everything that keeps it alive through that cord - would die without that cord, not to mention the protective 'bubble' its in that is attached to your body. And all the stuff that 'someone elses body' is doing to your body.

I've been computer-less for 3 days, so catching up:
Cathy's nativity set up looked weird to me...why is there a really large candle between the wise men and the crèche? The kiss pic looks fine to me, upper lip between the others lips -nothing odd about that. Better than a sloppy one. Thought Cathy's stocking were cute, and Iz looked adorbs in the family pic.
I'm pretty sure the teeny baby pics are the unfortunate Miscarriage Michelle had, they talked about the pics in the episode, and I think might have even had some video of them being taken.
In the CA video, I didn't make it far because I'm at work, but loved the matching shirts on Jill and the random native.
I have to say, I find it a little perplexing everyone losing their minds about Jessa and Jill having second kids. Think about friends that have more than one kid, and how many of those kids are 18 months-2 1/2 years apart? Jessa may be a little soon -I'm not sure how far apart Sprug and spurgette are going to be. I will say, they better be sure to get good health care this time, and I really hope they both go to the hospital.
I like the pic of Jill and Derick with his hair down. They both look relaxed and happy.
Spoilers & Speculation: The Drawn Curtain
in Emerald City [V]
Do we know what happened to the Witch of the South? Could it be Dorothy's mom? (though I guess the witch of the west would have known that when she took her form). The tattoo Dorothy has...Do any of the other witches have it? Have we got a close enough view of their hands to see it? I can't remember if its 3 or 4 dots. If 4, I'm thinking the cardinal directions?
