Liking her dress so far. Love that they didn't kiss if front of everyone. 2 reasons for that....they didn't want everyone to see they knew what they were doing already; they didn't want everyone to see the awkwardness. Have to say in their picture, Jessa's smile looks kind of forced - disappointment in kiss, or tired of smiling for camera?

Another "Angels Take Manhattan" question....I don't see how breaking River's arm will get her free of the Angel. The Angel has grabbed her very tightly around the wrist and it's hand encircles her wrist completely. How is breaking her wrist going to help? She has to get her hand to slip through, which would be cuts, not breaks.

I give Michelle props because she didn't make a huge deal about the dress. The engagement re-enactments are not cute. They're kind of creepy.

I think the kiss was messed up by Jill, not Derrick. He had a plan and didn't let her in on it, she just went for the kiss and he went to dip her. Yeah, from watching the stuff behind the scenes and stuff said, they have never done more than hold hands. He wanted to kiss her so bad before the ceremony. Interesting, Jill didn't say "obey" in her vows. Thought that was a big thing? ETA: It really irks me when women don't put their engagement ring on the right hand at the wedding. Man, Derrick got totally excited (if you know what I mean) when Jill sucked the frosting off his fingers. Hmm, everyone is saying nieces and nephews are coming soon.....maybe they did fool around. I don't know, I"m conflicted now.

Why did Jill and Derrick arrive at the church together the day of the wedding - and she had a pillow - and Michelle and the J-slaves looked like they hadn't seen her all night? I call shennanigans! She shaved him because she is totally type A and didn't trust anyone else Bonus points that Derrick knows how to tell all the kids apart after only 3 months

Oh come on, you know these girls are gonna be freaks in the sheets. Michelle's box probably has the Karma Sutra in it, maybe some handcuffs.... It's really sad that these people are getting married just so they can have sex. They pretty much say that in ever TH.

I will say, I always see one of the kids with a book. I think they read more than you think. With not watching TV, reading is a good way to fill time. I agree that let the kids read what interests them, and its sad that these kids don't get to read so many great and fun books. They do read though.

I liked this episode, even though I had some of the same questions....where were all the people? I wouldn't be in my house, I'd be wandering around in awe. I really liked Capaldi's doctor this epi, first time he is totally in his own. The end was too quaint and contrived. I really liked the red headed girl - "it's there, on the board. Why do you keep asking me all the questions?" the trees had nuts and flowers because they grew so fast, had no seasons.

Another question from "Silence in the Library." Well, actually a later episode. When does the Doctor give River his sonic that is in the Silence?

In "Silence in the Library," The Doctor meets River for the first time and she whips out her diary to start comparing time lines. She mentions the Byzantium, which is the first weeping angels episode with Matt Smith. As far as we know, River never sees the Doctor again with this face, why did she recognize it? She wasn't shocked that he had a different face and honestly thought he would know her. They already knew David Tennant was leaving at this point, so this seems like a major plot hole to me.

Watched the baby announcement on TLC. They look so genuinely happy and thrilled. Derrick's comments come across better when watching it as opposed to reading it.

I thought the bridal shower was kind of sweet. The women seemed to genuinely like Jill. As for JB and the sex comment. If someone had asked my Dad what hubby was looking forward to the most after the wedding he would totally say, "duh, the sex!" I don't think it's skivvy, it's a fact of life. Now, all the baby jabbing and saying they're looking for the baby call before they're even married, that's skivvy.

I didn't find it all that intolerable, but........Once again Michelle makes it all about Josie. I could have throttled her when she wanted to put the fingerprint between the birds. You could tell the women around her were like "psycho!" You know Josh is ticked that he didn't get all this build up and a 2 hour show. Is it just because the family is more popular now, or is it because it's a girl? Or is it because they've seen we like Jill better than Josh? Her relationship with Derick is what dragged me back into this show after being absent for several years. Her beliefs seem genuine and their relationship so real. I missed the reveal scene -when did they show it?

Some interesting things have been verified in the first 15 minutes. Joy says she'll miss Jill because "she's always taken care of me" and one of the boys said that John should take over Jill's buddies because he doesn't have any buddies (has never had buddies) and doesn't have a girl.

What is Rory? He died in the Salurian episode, then was brought back in "the Pandorica" as an autoton centurion from Amy's memory. He then guarded her for 2000 years, they got married, had a kid, got zapped back to New York in the 30's, then died at 87/88. Why did he die? When did he become human again. I'm so confused.

Why does MIchelle call her kids "the children" ALL THE TIME? Who does that? I have never heard her say "the kids" even when she refers to the little ones or big ones. The only time I say "children" (usually) is when they are in trouble. Or something like "where are the children?"

Why were Jill's older kids - I mean Buddies at the Ultrasound? come on, it's your first, it should have just been Jill and Derrick ( and the 3-4 camera crew of course). Derricks statement about having a boy first smacks of sexism to me. I was still liking him till he said that. I guess I still like him, but he's gone down a lot.

The judges totally got yelled at for last week (when they gave honest scores). These scores are stupid.

Dina better win this

I loved James TH when he was totally dismissive of the courtship rules. For all the talk of saving money at the auction, they could have bought some nice new pieces, though the couches and bed did look new. the nail things they did were Jamberry. It is a home business like 31, Avon or Origami Owl. They sell nail wraps that you put on by heating them and smooshing them down. Bet they promised free advertising. If I was Jamberry I'd be ticked.

Ick..I just get grossed out about people buying used beds to be their permanant beds. Okay, looks like they might be new, they're wrapped in plastic. I hope so.

This show actually made me tear up! Carol and Daryl's reunion, Rick and Carol, Rick and Judith, it was all full of awesome! So glad I'm watching Talking Dead, cause I didn't catch any of the "cameos," Sam, the BSC guy in the train car. I'm tired of Tyreese's conflict of Conscious. Why am I so excited about a guy who we've hardly ever seen. I think it might be because of the promises Rick gave him.

Just read the article about the dad of 16 who died in Britain. Made me think...J'chelle is so proud of delivering all of her 19 children - but she only really had 17 successfull pregnancies. The Tennessee chick whose name I can't remember has had more - she really doesn't have that crown to wear.

Forgot to post about Josie and the other J talking about Jessa and Ben. I was trying to figure out if Josie was repeating the other girls words because she has issues, or if she was repeating them because they had tried to get the girls to memorize those lines.

I was showing at 11 weeks. Comment up thread someone made about Jill and Dericks eyes looking puffy in a picture they saw, like they had been crying or something. Maybe they had their first fight? 3 months - a little late, but about the time for a first fight - especially since they probably have never had a fight before since they were never alone.
