Wow. I really only watched this for lack of anything else, even though I really haven't enjoyed it in a while and my comments last season were pretty negative...but that was actually really funny? And made me laugh out loud multiple times? What is happening? But yeah, that was hilarious. It feels a bit broader than before, but it actually worked and everything was clicking. The opening fake out, the hospital scene, whole cafeteria sequence, the final courtroom sequence. I really and without reservation enjoyed that. I don't quite know how I feel about that. But yeah, Flobert makes no sense. Kind of just have to roll with it.

I just checked a few transcripts of the first episode and don't see that?

I actually wondered if that wasn't a lie she told Lilia just to get her to come (just like she was lying about the road in the first place). She was intending to kill Lilia/Jen/Alice all along, so it doesn't make sense that she would tell Lilia not to blast her and she would be fine if she needed Lilia to blast her for the plan to work? Or was she really counting on Lilia to lose it when provoked (which she seemed to be attempting when she demanded to know if there were any real witches there, before Teen burst in to interrupt)?

I watched TBBT from start to finish but none of Young Sheldon. Was Meemaw always such a bitch to Mary on YS or was that just for this episode? For what it's worth, the audience reactions do seem to be real. According to a Deadline interview they toned down some of it.

I really wish the show were better, but it's just so mediocre. It's just a downer. I don't hate it, but also don't know why I'm still watching. The opening with Roz was so clunky and abrupt, like they had to cut off the opening scene in the office for time (but could have just had Frasier cover it in exposition at the start of the next scene before she arrived).

When Roz takes Eve and Olivia out for a girls' night, Frasier, Alan and Freddy are upset that they have to watch Eve's baby instead of meeting women. However, their evening changes when they realize that a baby just might be the perfect icebreaker.

Rusty is a d*ck, but I don't believe anyone would want to believe their children are equally likely to be guilty of murder as their spouse. Spouse is a much more automatic, and reassuring, assumption than child. For an egotist, thinking your spouse killed someone because of you is ego-feeding. Thinking your child could have done it simply exposes one's failures as a parent and a human being.

One reason the BBC and RTD announced she would be back is that the Daily Mail and others were claiming earlier this year that she'd been fired and replaced with the new companion (some were saying after only a few episodes), so the DM may need to be taken with several grains of salt. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12985585/Doctor-Millie-Gibson-dropped-one-series-replacement-revealed.html https://deadline.com/2024/01/doctor-who-millie-gibson-dropped-varada-sethu-joins-1235799043/

The answer has been reported and confirmed by RTD and the BBC.

Three Seasons of Bridgerton Culminate in One Ecstatic Line Reading

Hasn't it been widely covered that none of the clothes on the show are really period accurate?

Also, as ever, Mr. Finch, I'll miss you most of all.

I have to say, that big blue/green sheet in the sex scene was really distracting and kind of embarrassing. I don't need to see nudity, but if you don't want to show it...don't cut to an overhead shot showing him thrusting away so we have to see they've carefully draped themselves in a massive sheet like no one would actually do during sex. Just stick to the closeups of their faces, which are more intimate anyway.

Also, out of everybody in this episode, Varley may be my favorite.

The opening confrontation was a letdown after the deliciousness of the cliffhanger. Penelope was too weepy and Colin seemed too...restrained or something? Not intense? Not angry enough? It just fell kind of flat. The second confrontation on the street was much better. His character really hasn't been developed enough, so the fact that they tied his anger more into concern that she was right in what she wrote about him, and not really respecting his own writing, and not needing him, gave him a lot more (or at least some) depth. The early Violet/Danbury scenes and Colin/Eloise scenes were really good. "Have you forgotten what she wrote about me at the start of the season?" "Of course, that was not so good." It was all in her delivery, but I had to cackle.
