Wow, that bakery is finally going to come into play! It's about time!

Personally, if my brother had put me on ice for decades at a time over a span of 1000 years, the fact that he hadn't done anything to piss me off in the last few months wouldn't keep me from wanting to give him a taste of his own medicine....but that could just be me. :)

This was the best episode in a long time, IMO. I know the mothers' sniping was predictable, but I still found it funny (Mary's anyway). As a former resident of Texas, her comment about shooting tickled me. What surprised me was her comment to Penny about God considering a couple married once they lay together....that ain't the way I remember it. :) The best line, though, was her response to Sheldon's question about what the lions are on Noah's Ark. Beverly was portrayed worse than usual. I know the moms' visits are few and far between, but I am hoping for some character growth if/when Bev shows up again. I wasn't bothered by the sing-a-long at the end....actually go a smile from it. It seems fitting to me that Raj would know the song and I could definitely see Howard knowing it, as well. Stewart is such an unknown due to retconning and lack of character expansion, I am just pretending he loves musicals and leaving it at that.

Good episode and I liked human Elena using her brain to save herself from Lily. Shouldn't Lily have been able to smell that Elena was human the second she walked up on her? I am just not feeling Lily as a big bad. Maybe if she has her Witchpires with her, it will amp up her evil, but thus far, she leaves me cold. It is impossible for me to care any less about Stefan and his mommy issues. The bachelorette party was the saddest thing I have ever seen. And the stripper.... Somebody should mention to Elena that, when your loved one regularly die around you, a cop coming and asking about the man you love is more cruel than amusing. I have to confess, the Jo having twins thing actually WAS a surprise to me. But that is mostly because I haven't given a single second thought to the fact that she is pregnant since it was announced the first time. The Gemini Coven storyline brought us my beloved Kai, but other than that.....just total Meh. I can't even remember what happened to the female blonde twin after her brother was assimilated.

*snort* Ok, I found that funnier than I should have....might be the cold medicine. :)

Amen to this! Hayley is no saint and, while I see her point about Klaus' enemies, the Originals are STILL the best choice for keeping Hope safe. Her werewolves get their asses kicked regularly. How exactly does she think that they are going to keep Hope safe? I know SHE is a badass hybrid, but she is one person. Were I in her position, I would be seeking safety with the FAMILY of badass vampires to keep my child safe.

Holy Hell, can Klaus possibly be that stupid?! Nah....he HAS to be playing Dahlia, right? If all of this was truly about protecting Hope (and originally Freya), why the hell wouldn't Dahlia have mentioned that before NOW!? For that matter, why wouldn't FREYA have mentioned it. Or even Esther...."Hey, yeah, I did give away your older sister but it was because she was uber powerful and your auntie Dahlia was the only one who could help her learn to control her magic". Sorry, Klaus, but if you are buying any of this crap than you are a hell of a lot stupider than I ever gave you credit for. I was so glad when Elijah jammed that needle into Freya. I can't believe Elijah and Rebekah were actually falling for her crap. I think she and Dahlia are in this together, possibly with the deal that Freya goes free when Hope is taken (not that I think Dahlia would hold to her side of that bargain). I might accept that Freya really is on the run from Dahlia and not in cahoots with her, but I don't think for one second that Freya won't toss Hope into Dahlia's arms if it means she can escape. Freya has no reason to want to protect Hope. She doesn't even KNOW her siblings much less her niece. Why would she risk anything for any of them? IMO, Freya is in this for Freya and no one else. She wants HER freedom. It is inconceivable to me that Elijah and Bex don't see that!

The trans world was my world for a long time (best friend is FTM and ex-husband is an MTF) so my heart hurt for Ari. I know she didn't MEAN any harm and I believe that she just got in over her head with Jamey and had no idea when the "right time" to tell him had arrived and then long past. I honestly think when she told Jamey she would only meet him on Catfish she (1) didn't think he would ever get on the show and (2) he might take the decision out of her hands by dumping her (since she was obviously hiding something if she wanted to meet on Catfish). That said, I also think Ari was in the wrong for being on a straight dating site. It's not like there are not LGBT dating sites out there. Even if she wasn't looking for romance, I know at least 2 of those sites that say "looking for friends ONLY" as an option. The fact that she chose a conventional site screams to me that she was wanting to see if she could attract a "regular guy". I wouldn't even hold that against her, IF she had just talked to a couple of guys a few times to complete her "experiment" and then walked away. But to develop a "relationship" with one of those guys was unfair...and I think she knew that since I took her descent into bitchiness as a defense mechanism and a (admittedly poor) way to deal with her guilt. Now Jamey, Jamey seems like a truly awesome guy. He was shocked, of course, but he didn't act like a loudmouth bully. He didn't call Ari names, or even call her out on what she did. I thought his sitting down with her and asking her a reasonable, and accepting (in my eyes), question about when she knew she was transgendered showed him to be a class act and a truly nice guy. Maybe he wouldn't have wanted to continue the romantic relationship but Ari didn't even give him a chance. Jamey said several times how the two of them had talked about very personal things so I have a feeling he would have at least continued a friendship if she hadn't acted the way she had.

That seriously cracked me up for some reason I cannot explain. Perhaps it's all in the delivery.

There is one thing with MamaSalvatore being a ripper that continues to annoy the hell out of me. Stefan is only a ripper when his switch is flipped. Does that mean Lily's humanity is off? If that's the problem, why not just do what they do to everyone who flips the switch and torture the crap out of her until she feels all the feels again?!

Knew Aiden was a goner (like everyone else) as soon as he told Josh he loved him. I AM quite proud of myself for figuring out the ashes in the paint thing, though. As soon as Elijah walked in and started talking about the ashes while Klaus was painting, I thought "he mixed them in the paint". Have no idea how I figured that out (since I NEVER figure stuff out) but I seem to recall a murder mystery I read a long time ago where the killer mixed the ashes of the victim into his paint for his ceramic pots. :) Although, if they need the ashes for the stupid spell, won't mixing them into the paint cause issues? Maybe I shouldn't think of spells like recipes, but I would think adding something extra, like freaking paint, would affect the spell. Maybe instead of the instrument killing Dahlia, it will turn her into a pony drawing egomaniac. I am a bit confuzzled about the staking of Klaus though. Was that dagger supposed to actually kill him or just put him into that suspended animation state that the other daggers do to his siblings? Been so long since Davina and Kol made the damn thing, I don't remember what exactly it was supposed to do.

I really thought it was going to turn out that Whitney didn't realize Luscious B was Bree and she had been talking to "both" of them without realizing it was the same person. My boyfriend and I met online several years ago and we often joked that we should contact Catfish so we could get a free trip to visit each other (he was friends in RL with my brother so our hooking up wasn't quite as weird as it could have been LOL). We were laughing our asses off when we realized that that is exactly what these two did. I can't believe they bothered to air this episode. I think we may be in the final season of my guilty pleasure show.

This little show has turned out to be my most favorite Disney show of all time. :) I was an adult when I was watching BMW in the 90s (only in my early 20s, but still) and I a way older than the target demographic for GMW, but this show still tickles me. I spent season 1 getting annoyed with how stupid Cory acted at times, but still loving the character if only for nostalgic reasons. The episode where Topanga remembers who she is, and Cory's reaction, was one of my favorite moments of the season for the adults. I still love their relationship, as much as I did back in the BMW heyday. Maya is my favorite character. I actually like her better than I did Shawn back in the day. She does the "older than her years" mixed with "vulnerability" very well. She is going to be a huge star someday, I think, well outside of the little world of Disney. I like her crush on Josh. It seems very realistic that she would have the hots for this older boy and I like that he is making it clear that nothing is going to happen. Her interactions with Lucas are awesome. I love their teasing banter and the fact that it drives her crazy that she cannot get to him. Even her relationship with Farkle is appealing to me. She obviously cares about him, but she won't let him pull any crap on her. Riley annoys with her immature behavior. I am a Disney addict so I understand the wish fulfillment of a character who gets to say what they want to any adult (without getting in trouble) and acts like a brat (with no one calling her on it) but I wish they would give her at least a little more maturity. I don't want to spend the entre run of this series wondering why someone as mature as Maya would hang around a little entitled brat like Riley. She has her moments. I liked her when she showed an honest interest in Lucas and his horses when they were doing the no cell phone project. I hated her in the "Princess Riley" crap which seemed way too immature for a 14 year old girl. My dream for next season is for her to behave consistently like an almost 15 year old girl. Auggie and Ava annoy the crap out of me, the same way the younger kids on Disney shows usually do. Since we met Ava's mother, I find myself a little more tolerant of the character, but she is never going to be my favorite. I don't remember Morgan being this annoying on BMW, but I think she was used more sparingly than Auggie (and I wish they would address why the hell they named that kid Auggie!) The biggest WTH of season 1, for me, was the purchase of the bakery. What was the point? I thought it was going to be a way to integrate Topanga into the kids lives....like they would hang out there and Topanga would start working there to protect her investment. Instead, we had one episode where they bought the place and it was never mentioned again.

I am kind of hoping we come back to Rick putting a bullet in Reg's head and everyone freaking out while CDB tries to explain that everyone has the damn virus inside them and WILL turn when they die. I don't think that info is public knowledge and I can see Deanna going OFF when hubby gets a bullet to the head.

I loved the episode for the core 4, but I seriously hate Auggie/Ava. They annoy to no end individually and this "we're married" crap was worse than usual. I DID love the first kiss between Lucas and Rile, though. For a change, Riley wasn't acting like a 9 year old so I appreciated it for the milestone that it was for a 14 year old girl. I wasn't quite sure, but were we supposed to interpret Maya's look after Farkle walked away as a "seeing him in a different way" look or was she supposed to be looking pensive over Josh? The first time I watched it, I thought it was about Farkle, but the second time it didn't hit me as that. Plus, she made that comment about Farkle's kiss (although she complimented him on it). I could actually see the two of them hooking up in the future. As for Josh/Maya, I didn't think he was overly harsh with her. He did NOT laugh in her face or make fun of her crush, he just told her she was too young and then RAN because he was freaked by this overly aggressive 14 year old who was coming on to him pretty damn strongly. I like the Josh character and I am really hoping having him around will allow them to do something with Cory and his ridiculous behavior. I understand overprotective dad, but they write him as a total moron. Maybe if they bring in Josh (and Shawn! PLEASE bring in Shawn) they can talk to him and get him to behave more like an adult.

Same here, ghoulina. I never hated Carl like a lot of people did, but I do usually get annoyed by child actors. It's not their fault that they aren't as good as the adults, but it tends to take me out of the story when they are onscreen. I think Chandler has turned into a wonderful young actor. I would really love to see him on Talking Dead and get his impression of things. I think he has a great future ahead of him, even once WD ends.

Is there even a single fan of this show who is excited about the "big A reveal"? Seriously....been there, done that, writers, and I don't for one second believe we are going to learn anything important. It will probably be a reveal that Lucas is still working for A, although we haven't seen him in forever. I still love to watch this show, but it's not because I a sitting on the edge of my seat over the amazing reveals, relevant plot points or astonishing continuity. Wait, why do I love this show again? ;)

I agree with those who are thinking that Enid's parents (or father, at least) was part of the group that got exiled. My boyfriend and I got into a deep discussion about this because his original stand was that, were that the case, Enid would have gone with them. My point was that, were I exiled from what I believed was a safe place, I would leave my child there to ensure her safety. I know that theory kind of falls apart if she is climbing the walls to bring her dad supplies, but we don't know that he isn't screaming at her when she arrives that she shouldn't be doing that.

Personally, I wish Rick hadn't cut his hair. The sexiest he has ever looked was when he was freshly shaved and his hair was still long. I have not been very impressed this season....until this episode. Nothing much happened, but it was still so intense. Carol is the best, though, with her Junior League persona. Can't wait to see her revert to form! Deanna isn't going to know what hit her.

FBDO remains one of my favorite moves of all time so this may go down as my favorite episode of the Goldbergs EVER. I despise Charlie Sheen, but even his cameo was perfect. Poor pop lost his car in the end though....that kind of sucked. Barry singing on the float at the end was made of win.

I really wish they had not had Klaus kill his bio dad. It would have brought some much needed growth to the character. I can imagine a lot of good storylines with the two of them, with Klaus learning what it means to love a child from the man who DID love him, even though he couldn't protect him.

When Haley was like "oh hell no!" on the truth thing, the first thought that popped into my head was that she didn't want Jackson to find out about the Great Hybrid Massacre of TVD. Hope didn't.t even cross my mind until later. If they go through with this and Haley's little massacre DOESN'T come to light, I guess I will have to officially accept that the writers are retconning it.

I don't mind Farkle's crush on the girls. I think because they are all friends....I just don't take it seriously. It feels to me like, if Maya and Riley didn't like him or he creeped them out, they wouldn't hang around him. The fact that Riley smiled when she heard her voice makes me think that she thought it was cute (although girl grins when her best friend is pissed at her, so maybe she just smiles all the time) and I think she is genuinely very fond of Farkle. There is one thing I cant figure out though.....They keep making reference to Shawn/Cory being the Kings of scheming....are they serious about that? Are they forgetting that, although they had a LOT of schemes, they got caught on 99% of them?! Is Topanga humoring them by saying how great they were? Or, in this universe, WERE they the kings who got away with everything? I am loving the idea of a relationship between Maya and Shawn. I am NOT loving the idea of a relationship between Katie and Shawn. If I were Katie, I would always wonder if Shawn was really into me or if he just wanted me to be close to my daughter (ewww....not in a creepy way). I kind of hope they just go with a friendship between Katie and Shawn (After that final camera angle of the two of them standing together, I KNOW it's gonna be love, but a girl can dream) because I think it would be nice to see two adults who like each other but not in "that way". They could become good friends, Shawn could be a father figure...a masculine influence....for both Maya and Katie.

Haven't played this since the Buffy boards on TWoP but I do love a good game. :) Wish granted. Beth and Noah make it out of the parking lot and to Daryl/Carol. As they are sneaking back to the church, Beth gets bitten by a walker and we have two episodes dedicated to Daryl and Carol agonizing over having to kill her. Beth sings multiple songs to perk everyone up and eventually Noah puts a bullet in her brain just to shut her up. I wish Daryl had found Sophia alive the day the horse threw him.

I had forgotten those scooters (blocked them out, maybe?) until I saw them. My school did something called Crab Soccer on them and I cant remember how many times my hand got crushed by someone rolling over it on one! I LOVE the nostalgia on this show. I was born in 1970 and the 80s are my misspent teen years...love it. Trivial Pursuit was the coolest game when it came out. We all gained a new respect for my dad when my family got our first one. Who knew daddy was such a font of useless trivia? I can remember us all staring at him in shock as he correctly answered questions like "Who won the best supporting actress Oscar in 1962?" LOL My boyfriend's son (who is almost 16 and lives for video games) actually likes to play board games so when I moved in with him, I brought my trivial pursuit games. Unfortunately, the tv edition I have is from the 90s and then I have the 80s edition so the poor kid doesn't stand a chance against his dad and I. LOL
