Was anyone surprised by Turbo's story about taping down someone on a flight? Because OF COURSE he did! I love him.

Yes, please! I actually love the way that was handled, with him knowing he needed help and getting it. The scene with the two of them was wonderful. Please keep them friends, pretty please? Not everything on every show has to be a love story.

I think Tess saying "I'm not ready" is just as simple as "I'm not ready to say goodbye". I don't know that it is much deeper than that. I know if I was going to say goodbye to a dying relative I would likely not be ready either. Is anyone ever ready to say goodbye to someone? Call me simple or easily entertained, but I laughed a few times during Deja's speech to Randall. I liked it. I thought it was well done and she showed some real savviness with people by getting him to drive her there. It also speaks to what we have been told is her great writing skill. She has a way with words and used them well. I am so, so glad that they had Zoe leave Kevin and not give in to wanting kids. As someone who is also child free by choice, I hate the "you would be such a good mom" speech. I interact with kids every day (I'm a therapist for children and adolescents) and I treat them with kindness, respect, and try and instill a little bit of fun and happiness in their life. I have nieces and nephews that I adore and love spending time with. That does not mean I want to or need to be a mom. Not wanting to have children of your own so often on TV means you have to hate kids or be completely incompetent on how to interact with them. In real life, this is not the case. I wanted to throw my phone at the TV when Kevin was saying how great Zoe was with the girls and how he thinks she would be a great mom. And I'm glad she didn't change her mind. Did anyone else find the elderly, dying Rebecca super creepy, or was it just me? Something about her eyes was just really scary.

Turbo has the best soundbites, for real. I don't remember the quote tonight, but it was something about "one man fighting, another man fighting, maybe someone will die?" Just so non-chalant about it.

For the past 20 years or so, two of my best friends and I have had this thing where we try to find a food that doesn't go with cheese or peanut butter, so when Miguel pulled that question out last night I yelled at my television and immediately sent a text to my friends. They (kind of) stole my idea! But the "end" of his game was stupid. In our version, condiments don't count as food, so you can't use ranch as a food.

I saw her in a very old episode of ER where she plays one of the workers at the hospital day care taking care of "Little Suzie" (Sherry Stringfield's niece, daughter of Kathleen Wilhoite's character). It was very odd to see her as a nurturing and loving character in the traditional way and not the Mrs. Kim way.

Did I hear that AJ went to college in New Haven? So...did he go to Yale? Did this get totally bypassed somehow?

I've watched this show a billion times, in particular season 4, which is my favorite. I am JUST NOW realizing why Lorelai was nicknamed umlaut at camp. Wow. Take my Master's Degree back please.

It's a protective thing. When our brains cannot handle the stress we are under, we dissociate. And the high end of the dissociative scale is DID. It's not common, but it is real. The best thing I can compare it to is if you have ever had a medical or dental procedure and had to "go to your happy place" where you just imagine yourself somewhere else. That is obviously the very low end of the scale. But brains, especially those of young children, cannot handle the stress of horrific abuse. We just can't cognitively process it. So the brain develops a protection for itself because it tells us we are going to die. For the record, I don't have DID, but I am a therapist and work with trauma a lot. The thing that strikes me about the doctor is that he seems so stiff and cold! I have a lot of personality in sessions with clients and it is impossible for me to shut it off, so maybe I'm being overly judgmental. But he doesn't seem warm and I would hate to go to a therapist like that. W@e are only seeing small snippets of a few sessions, so perhaps he is generally more caring and likable on a regular basis or when we get to see more of his work.

Would anyone else actual;y watch Cousins? No? Just me. Ok. I'm only sort of kidding. It was entertaining, and would be entertaining in a short term, but for very long. Metta was actually funny intentionally, as opposed to last year when he was unintentionally funny voting for people to stay instead of leave.

When did they redo No One Would Tell? I loved the original! I'm sure it's totally cheesy, but at the time I thought it was great!

Nooooo!!!!! Why is Josh here to ruin my show? The crying, the false ego, all of it, can get off my screen immediately. Is Turbo a cyborg? Because I kind of think he might be.

I've heard both flipping and flicking. More common for sure is flipping.

I'm really liking this show! My husband and I have such very different tastes in television, and Mythbusters was always one we could agree on. I love the way Adam interacts with these kids. You can tell he is really enjoying mentoring them. And they seem like great kids! I'm more excited about this than the one with the "new" Mythbusters. I never even watched that one.

Guaranteed? No, of course not. But mental illness does not mean you cannot be a parent. If we took children away from every parent who had a mental illness, our foster care system would be even more over run and broken than it already is. Clearly she has proven in court and otherwise that she is capable of taking care of her children, otherwise there would be involvement from the state. It seems like her nanny is a huge part of her life as well, and knows about her diagnosis. Until her children are in danger or neglected, she can have her children.

Did I really hear "a corset is a symbol of freedom"? Because it's actually kid of the opposite. It's binding and restrictive. Freedom is a t-shirt and yoga pants with no bra, lol.

Would love to know where you get the information that DID is not real. MPD is no longer a diagnosis because it has changed names to DID. Because DID is not like you see it portrayed in the movies. She's not killing people and not rapid cycling through different personalities. That's not how DID works. If you can be in control of your triggers, which it sounds like she is, there is no reason for her not to be raising her children. Until she is proven to be a danger to them, I don't see any reason why she can't raise them. And she IS getting treatment, that's why there were scenes at the doctor's office. DID is perfectly capable of being treated in an outpatient setting.

My thoughts on why an American won this one instead of the clearly better Jasper: Southwest airlines doesn't fly internationally, other than to a few countries in the Caribbean. So Jasper, if he is still living in his home country (is it England? I can't remember), it would not be good PR for Southwest and the flights would be less likely to get used. Much like they sometimes will have someone win because their outfit is easier to produce when the prize is that it will go into production, I think this winner was determined by the prize instead of by the actual best look.

I had a feeling that was the case. The name sounded familiar, and I figured that was the only way this could be happening. The movie looks truly awful.

This documentary was so well done! I hate to say I liked it, because it is just filled with so many garbage humans. But the actual cinematic part was great. I knew about a lot of these things, but always kind of in my periphery. This documentary provided so many details that just horrified me to my core. My sociology brain was also pinging like crazy, especially during the last two segments. I know they talk a lot about race in this documentary, and clearly that is a huge element in all of this. But can we talk about SES for a minute? I keep thinking about these girls and where they came from. These parents who could take time off work to hunt down R. Kelly. One set of parents (I think it was the Carey's) made mention of hearing something and then getting on a flight "the next day" to Chicago. A last minute plane ticket is not cheap. And for both parents to be able to walk away from their life for an undetermined amount of time in order to track down their daughter? These girls, all of them, would have been so much worse off if they did not come from families with a comfortable or more income. One of the people in the last hour talked about how if you want to get away with kidnapping, kidnap a black girl. And it's sadly true. It makes me wonder if there were others who were of a much lower SES that did not have parents who could do these things and bring the attention to the issues. If these families were treated so badly, I don't even want to imagine what would have happened if some young girl and her family who lived in the projects had been involved. And it makes me think that maybe they were, and didn't want to bring attention to it, because you know they would have been "making thing up for the money" and would have had their lives ruined. I'm trying to make this all make sense in my head, it's like a long rambling thought about #metoo, #timesup, race, SES, and social justice and it'[s all rolling around in my head.

This movie looks absolutely terrible...but CT is in it? What?

Jeff: You are so right, Angelina! Women who are assertive get a bad rap. It's so great that we are entering such a new era where women can be taken seriously and respected! Now, let's play a clip of you that makes you look like a complete idiot! That infuriated me. He's always been pretty sexist, but that was just blatant.

To be fair, I haven't seen anything that has won in this last segment, but they must be incredible because every single actor that was nominated for Versace last to them, and they were all incredible. I am really rooting for Darren Criss. Jesse Plemons looked...rough in the audience. Facial hair does not suit him.

Angela Basset does not age. Seriously. It's amazing.

Is there room on the couch for me to join you? Because...same.
