Kevin was far more forgiving of John than I would be in that situation, but if you can't trust the neighbor who shot and "killed" you, who can you trust?
The karaoke bar scene was excellent. I loved everything about it. He sounded like every karaoke singer I ever heard.

Mr. Roboto has been stuck in my head for days. I unapologetically love Styx and the song, and I do not care how stupid it is.

I haven't seen "Ex Machina", so I wouldn't get that reference. It just reminded me of Pris going after Deckard at the end of "Blade Runner."
Also, as someone whose grandparents survived Auschwitz, I laughed way too hard at Auschwitz's SoDoSoPa district, NoMoAuchie. Amazing.

Leslie went full on Pris from "Blade Runner" on Jimmy. And poor Officer Barbrady, being goaded into shooting more kids. I have to say, this is the most I have enjoyed new episodes in years.

I'm no closer to understanding why Hanzee was so loyal to Dodd in particular to the point of adhering to a dangerous lie, even when Bear offered him an out, especially now that we know that Hanzee deeply resented the way Dodd treated him. Why was he so loyal to Dodd for so long and only now snapped? I'm sure it wasn't the first time Dodd called Hanzee a half-breed or a mongrel. Wouldn't Hanzee have gotten tired of Dodd's bullshit ages ago?
I think that after the earlier experiences of the day, where he was being harassed for being a Native American by the bartender spitting in his water, and those guys giving him shit in the parking lot, it was just his breaking point. He could stand it before, but that incident was the straw that broke the camel's back. And then after he finds Dodd and tries to save him, all Dodd does is insult him and throw epithets at him? That's why he killed him.

I agree that Dawn was acting out and lying for attention. Where I sympathize with Dawn is her anger at what her doctor said. Being cheerfully told that you'll be just fine hooked up to a machine a few times a week for the rest of your life and not to worry about those pesky transplant options would anger me too.
No kidding. My mom used to be a special procedures nurse, and my aunt was in kidney failure and got a transplant back in 2012. Dialysis isn't just time consuming, it is exhausting. You are wiped out after having the blood removed and recirculated through your body. Even people who do at home dialysis, where they do it twice a week for a little bit longer and can do it while they sleep, are miserable and exhausted through it. Not to mention the fact that they often intentionally give you fistulas in order to receive your hemodialysis. Getting a transplant is no walk in the park- surgery, anti-rejection meds for the rest of your life, severe dietary restrictions- but dialysis in perpetuity is much worse. Poor Dawn, she needs a second opinion.

Now, I really want to know what was in that box she left for her father.
Dead bird? Fetus? Ash from the "Evil Dead's" severed demonic hand? Who knows with that crazy bitch.

I knew it! I knew those girls didn't depart! This makes so much sense! I wish there was some progress on what happened to Kevin last week, but I guess I will just have to wait another week.
I agree though, Tom should have asked why Meg RAPED him, because that's clearly what she did. He was not a willing participant. An erection does not equal consent, people!
And poor Matt. I just feel so bad for his entire situation. How are they going to wrap up everything in one more hour? And this show damn well better be renewed!

It certainly left an impression on me! Even though Peyton was a Confederate sympathizer who wanted to sabotage the bridge, when he "escaped" and was seeing colors he never saw before, smells he never smelled so strongly (which was amazing when my first introduction to the story was the black and white TZ episode) you really wanted him to really escape. And then that ending knocked the wind out of my chest. Bierce was a brilliant writer, one whose works are timeless, and I'm saddened that we will never likely know his fate.

Autopsy with Dr. Baden was my jam! I can't find the episode where he performed the actual autopsy anywhere! My favorite was the one with the guy who had a pet cockatoo, and the pet cockatoo fought to the death for his owner during a home invasion. I will never forget that one.

It's based on an even more ancient, very famous short story by Ambrose Bierce that I suppose is no longer taught in high schools. Having read it there and having seen the TZ airing of the French film version in 1964, it tickles me that anyone could consider OaOCB an obscurity lost in the depths of ancient times. I'm feeling like that indigenous cave woman, I tell you.
Seriously! It's not ancient and it's a beautiful story! They even have the film version on Netflix Instant, since it was on "The Twilight Zone". I love, love, love that short story and short film.

I knew this episode would be polarizing, but not that much! I loved every second of it.

For an episode with relatively little "action", I was on the edge of my seat. Amazing. Loved the "Man of Constant Sorrow" at the end. Can't wait for Hanzee to catch up with Ed.

Whelp, I missed today's cases because the news broke in about those terrible terrorist attacks in Paris. Then I got sucked into watching coverage for several hours. Sad, sad stuff. I am going to have to watch eBay of Pigs for a taste of JJ.

I don't think the show is meant to promote alcoholism, and I doubt any of the narrators have real drinking problems. It's just silly fun.
Oh, I'm not saying it does. I'm just saying that's an odd choice of casting. YMMV, of course.

Paget Brewster was a great narrator, but I was kind of thrown by Dr. Drew Pinsky being an actor in the last story. A comedic show called "Drunk History" doesn't seem like something an addictions doctor would want to support in any way, but this is the "Celebrity Rehab" guy. Good episode, besides that WTF moment. And Henry Winkler is a national treasure.

After last week's episode with the founder of the Boy Scouts and the wolves, I realized that I would really like to see them do Wojtek, the soldier bear. After being released from the gulags to help the Russians fight the Nazis, these Polish soldiers said "fuck you" and started making their way back home. In Iran, they bought a Syrian black bear cub and named him Wojtek. He became their mascot, and then a full member of the Polish military. He got double the rations as "payment", drank beer and ate cigarettes, and loved to wrestle with his human buddies. He even took out an Italian spy! He carried artillery shells back and forth, never dropping a single shell. After the war, he retired to a zoo in Scotland, and would perk up whenever he heard people speaking Polish. His veteran buddies would come visit him and jump in his enclosure for a wrestle and cuddle. He died in the 1960s.

I'm so sad that this is the final season, but I'm happy it's back nonetheless. My wife is a nurse, and she said the meeting between the RNs and LPNs/transport people was nearly identical to meetings she's had at work. Marguerite telling Patsy that she saw him puke in the hallway was great. I knew that once that dog was licking up vomit that it would be licking Dawn's face, and I still cringed when it happened. Patsy's smug, self-satisfied grin when Dawn was crying about her miserable life with her husband and MRDD uncle-in-law made me want to punch him through the screen. Add renal failure on top of that mess, and I feel so bad for Dawn.

What an incredible episode. Regina King and Carrie C*** killed it this week. We got answers to some things, and Kevin finally admitted to Nora that he's "seeing" Patti. That scene was heartbreaking, especially the look on Kevin's face when he said that Patti told him he just made a huge mistake, and that he never should have told Nora about her.
I think the lens thing is just such bullshit. Demon Azrael (lol) aside, why would it cause the disappearance of Evie and two girls Nora really didn't even meet? Why wouldn't it cause the disappearance of Kevin, Jill and Lily, the folks she actually lives with? Personally, I'm thinking that those girls didn't depart, and rather it was made to look like a departure.
I was also thinking that Erika was kind of dumb to keep that money in the closet like that. With her husband burning down people's houses like that, he's opening himself up to retaliation. Having a huge wad of cash in a box won't do you any good if someone seeks revenge for being beaten and having their house burned down and decides to burn YOUR house down. Just put it in a safety deposit box!

The clip wasn't edited. That was exactly the question and his answer.
He is interesting and he's bringing such a refreshing change of attitude to Canadian government, or at least a change from the last ten years. Some of his cabinet choices were quite daring and it will be fascinating to watch how it all plays out.
I especially appreciate the Minister of Justice being a First Nations woman.

There are people who spend the day looking for truant kids and their families in NYC.
I remember on "The Wire", one of the jobs Cutty took (and soon quit) after he got out of prison was tracking down truant students and bringing them to school. That took place in Baltimore, but yeah. In my city, if the cops see kids on the street during school hours, they get picked up.

Mindy: I'm struck dumb by all this, but felt I should just respond anyway, if only to show my support and send you virtual hugs. Feel better, and may the lesser of all evils win. Yeeesh... :(
I voted a couple hours ago and there were eight people on the ballot. Eight! Because it was a special election, they didn't have a primary. And since some of the candidates are just joke candidates, the winner will win with about 20% of the vote, meaning that 80% of the city is going to be pissed off. And the marijuana legislation is bad, because they are creating a cartel situation where only ten investors can be in the business. One of those investors is Nick Lachey, former husband of Jessica Simpson. Yeah, I hate this state.

I liked this one a lot. We are having pretty big elections in my city and state. Our mayor died in January, so there is a race to fill his seat. The candidates include our former mayor who sold waterfront property to Chinese investors when local investors wanted it; the wife of the dead mayor, which makes me think of "Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town"; the woman filling in for mayor right now who didn't think it was important to test our poisonous water daily during the water crisis back in August; our former mayor who sexually harassed me as a teen, wanted to put deaf people next to the airport to save money, got in a fist fight with a restauranteur, and was featured on the original "Daily Show" with Craig Kilborne; and a crazy evangelical cat lady who has done time for animal abuse and was just made fun of on "The Soup". And I'm voting for the guy who sexually harassed me as a teen because when he was mayor, the streets were paved, the city's economy wasn't in the shitter, and he may be a chucklefuck, but he's the chucklefuck I know. And he's the most qualified.
We're also voting on medical marijuana legalization. During the primaries, the city of Toledo voted to decriminalize possession of an ounce or less of weed and minute quantities of certain other drugs, and we are now being sued by the State of Ohio, because they're claiming that the cartels will set up shop here. Newsflash: Possession of an ounce of less of marijuana has been decriminalized in Ann Arbor since the 70s, and they're not some hub of Mexican cartel activity. So yeah, we've got some big stuff going on in America's anal wart, and you bet your ass I'll be in the voting booth tomorrow, bacterial upper respiratory infection or no bacterial upper respiratory infection!

Yeah, Busia's been great about it. Her daughter came out in the 80s and didn't care, and when I introduced her to my fiancee, she made when I call the Busia noise: oooOOOOOoooohhhh. She loves my fiancee as if she was her own granddaughter, as do most in my family.She's even cool with my trans friends. She's a nice, nice lady.
I do think that Busia is aware that people can't stand to be around them (other than her youngest son, who thinks everyone should just forgive and forget, but he was very young and didn't know the shit that was going on at that time.) She dreads the visits too, but agrees to them so she doesn't start some kind of war in the family. Frankly, if she had it her way, his exile never would have ended, grandchild or no grandchild, because he's the same monster he always was, and met and married his perfect, hate-filled match. Only now he a monster married to a trust fund baby in a relationship so dysfunctional that Tennessee Williams would have had a field day with it. But I digress. I'm half tempted to write a letter to my aunt and tell her exactly what's on my mind about her and her husband, and that if she ever corners, berates and makes my mom cry again, there will be hell to pay.

Yep. And sometimes, even if you are a blood type match, you still aren't an exact match with the donee. (Went through this with my aunt. Luckily, she had a bunch of people willing to donate to her.)
