  1. Considering that they both bank nearly $1,000,000 for each episode, I'd think that they would be pretty happy if they had to perform standing on their heads.
  2. I have enjoyed the transformation from geeky Jimmy to competent and caring Dr. Palmer, Medical Examiner. Dr. P was on top of his game dealing with Kacie.
  3. Please, don't fire him because if he comes back to his old team, we could lose Hannah, and she is a great new addition to the cast.
  4. Howard is the quintessential "geek", and because he is "just an engineer" and doesn't have his doctorate, Sheldon usually acts as if poor Howie is just a notch above the custodial staff in the University hierarchy. While Sheldon makes a lot of noise about his fantastic research, he hasn't really achieved any notoriety for his work, yet "poor little Howard--just an engineer" has successfully invented working parts of the Mars Rover, and is a real Astronaut who has been to the International Space Station. Sheldon may not think that is impressive--but it really is!!! Sheldon remains the Most Important Professor EVER--in his own mind at least, but a successful inventor/engineer/astronaut who speaks about seven languages--that's a guy who has one HELL of a resume. (Although in academic circles they call it a "Curriculum Vitae".
  5. Oh, yeah, I do remember that line. It was pretty funny...
  6. OK, so I get it that Emily took Luke off of his "desk duty" to give some needed help in the field for this one time, but I also thought that part of his punishment was demotion from Supervisory Special Agent to Special Agent. Yet, Luke clearly identified himself at one point at "SSA Alvez". Bad boy, Luke, you can't just decide what rank you want to be...
  7. Brand marketing. In this specific case the plot was built on the office being in a s secret location as if it was a rejected NCIS:LA script. Except the NOLA office is not secret. There is a very large NCIS logo/seal mounted on the outside wall visible from the sidewalk. The office is a very unique space--but not a secret.
  8. That offer didn't just fall out of the sky. Vance said that Kasey had risen to the top of the other applicants for the job. She would obviously not have applied unless she wanted the job, so acceptance was pretty obvious. As for money, all government employees are paid according to a set salary schedule, and Kasey would have known because the job posting would have stipulated which level (GS-8, GS-10, etc.) that the lab director would be paid.
  9. I just re-watched that part. When Steve climbed down to the roof of the stuck elevator, he had to open two pretty heavy duty latches to open the access door. With latches like that on the outside, the woman had no chance to push the panel open and crawl out.
  10. A few thoughts about Steve and Danny's restaurant... 1) Is the restaurant open? If so, why have we not seen even a single scene with customers, staff, etc? 2) And if the restaurant is not open, why is their refrigerator full of salmon and other fresh fish??????????
  11. Well, well, well...when the agents discovered that the Very Important File they were looking for was in a foreign embassy, and therefore OFF LIMITS, I told Mrs. UncleChuck "I'll bet you there is a fancy party at that embassy TONIGHT!!" and sho nuff, the next line of dialog was "The embassy is is having a party tonight--and I'll use my connections to get added to the guest list. I'm glad I didn't have the remote in my hand or I might have thrown it at the tv!!!!!!! I swear to God, those embassy parties must be the most overused, stupid, laziest device ever used. I'd almost believe that the movie/television writers' guild has a requirement that no one is admitted to full membership in the guild until they have written a scene involving an embassy party that must be infiltrated. Just once, I'd like to see the hero in one of those shows say something like: "We need to get into that embassy to steal the files." and the next line is "Well, they were having a fancy party, but it was LAST NIGHT!"
  12. Was it ever explained why NOPD has an officer assigned to guard a FEDERAL agency?
  13. I think Jimmy is the new Ducky, as Dr. Mallard has semi-retired and Dr. Palmer is the NEW Medical Examiner. Ducky could certainly give Jimmy the benefit of his wisdom, but it would likely be up to the Director to actually discipline him. I think that Jimmy would be more humbled by Ducky's disappointment than Vance's official reprimand.
  14. The only thing missing from those expendable agents is a red shirt.
  15. That tank as shown was not a true sensory deprivation tank because Steve was tethered by his hands and feet. All he needed to do was move his arm or leg and the tether would provide resistance to his pull. Since he could then FEEL the tug on the line, all of his senses were not "deprived". He could tug with left arm, left leg, right arm, right leg, two tugs, three tugs, etc., etc., and keep his mind occupied that way.
  16. Well, this is the second Finale proposal. Mike Boogie proposed to what's her name during the finale of his first season, and that didn't last any longer than the few days they had known each other...
  17. I wonder why Angela has shown so little prowess in the athletic challenges this summer. I have been watching American Ninja Warrior and many of the most superior female Ninja athletes have a background in gymnastics and pole vaulting. Several of the greatest women combine both disciplines. So I might expect an athlete who was a level 10 gymnast and an Olympic tryout pole vaulter to be a beast at challenges. Maybe she is just holding back?
  18. I just re-watched the comp. Kaycee did NOT make a mistake--she was shown making the correct choice on all except Twinston--and TPTB just left us in suspense about her choice there. But she was NOT shown having to make a second run through the course.
  19. I was amused by his "fuck them all" attitude during his Julie interview. He seemed genuinely SHOCKED and HURT that his Level 6 alliance voted to evict him. But what the hell? Wasn't his closest bro in the world also a member of that Level 6 group? Didn't he realize that Level 6 had to turn on one of them? If Level 6 had voted to keep Winstonbro, then they would have had to betray Brettbro. Did he really believe that it was so obvious that, of course, he would be the one kept????? What an entitled ass!!!!!!!!!!
  20. The math answer to the the seconds in that comp was LESS than 500? So all that running and ball stuffing and balancing and the whole competition lasted just over 8 minutes. Probably seemed like an eternity to Rachel--you cannot compute seconds if you don't remember how many minutes it lasted.
  21. Might have been funnier if TPTB had positioned him in front of a bankruptcy attorney's office... Was Rachel's punishment too easy? I don't think those least trending "punishments" are meant to be hard--just an opportunity to get some footage for the tv shows. I have always been put off by the editing of the Sun/Wed/Thurs shows. Every week, every year, every show is planned and edited almost to the second with the same scenes. Only the faces change, but the shows are so cookie-cutter. The ham delivery, and the yell guy broke up the monotony of the same old-same old stuff.
  22. Who? Someone whose other choice might have been "Pagan Witch".
  23. Seems to me a neat "twist" would be to include a special ROBOT award in every HOH challenge. Winner gets to rule the house, first one out gets to be the house mascot for the week. I would love to see Kaitbot or Swaggybot bumping into the furniture.
  24. Sure she does...She thinks she is hiding her nastiness behind all that New Age unicorns and rainbows crap. Namaste... **And what exactly is the deal with Sam's "power"? The wording on her power said that she (or a person of her choosing) would get a CHANCE to return to the game. So if she gets evicted, does she just turn around and come back in--or does she just get a "chance" to come back?
  25. And don't forget the Penelope Garcia clone...
