  1. He'll always be Stevie's dad from Malcolm in the Middle to me. Even with the weight loss, recognized him immediately.
  2. If anyone is unfortunate enough not to recognize this, it is of course the original's classic "A Day in the Life."
  3. I didn't really laugh, but also didn't really mind. It was cute and a pleasant enough 20 minutes. I know it's been said before, but the show really needs more characters, especially since it technically has five but really only has four. Neil is there, but they haven't given him any storylines, so it's the other four being paired off into plots in each episode, with Neil just being there too. This time we had Abby/Olivia and Dan/Gurgs...with Neil there too.
  4. I didn't mind the healing circle. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Of all the things she's done, it may be the only one that made sense to me. Healing was exactly what these people needed in these circumstances.
  5. Was that...legitimately good? I think it was. Not perfect, of course. I can't believe they had Kemi give that tedious speech about how when somebody seems like they don't have anything to hide, they really don't, which was all just a stupid preamble to "I did a basic internet search and found a copy of this photo on someone else's social media." Like, lady, why are you wasting our time with bullsh--? But both the procedural plot and waiting for the Keith test results were legitimately tense. And I'm not at all sure where the Keith plot is going to go next, which is exciting. It really doesn't seem like they'd put the family through all this in one episode--Jason and Nikki trying to accept their son's death only to not have to and all the apologies and forgiveness--just to tear the rug out from them again in the last two episodes. That really would be too cruel. So I guess we're going with him really being Keith after all. So who kidnapped him? What's really going on? Exciting! Mike is still the best character, even if they're trying to make him cross the line the way the others do.
  6. The case was really obvious way too early, but still not a terrible episode, mostly because none of the characters were really annoying this week. Was that the first time? Amazing! With only three episodes left, glad we're getting some movement on the Keith story, so there might actually be some resolution, since this show looks unlikely to get renewed. Terrible Sidney finally came clean!
  7. Am I the only one still watching this terrible show then? 😅
  8. It's this one: https://www.avclub.com/john-larroquette-1798214118 Three's Company (1979)—"Cop"
  9. That...was actually pretty entertaining? Ramirez is still a bad actress, and some of the lines they gave Kemi were absolutely awful, and I don't care about the ME's crush or whatever...but otherwise, I thought it was pretty decent. Dumb at points as usual, but exciting and entertaining. And no Sidney! Easily the best episode yet.
  10. More confirmation that the show will likely be taking place at a college: https://deadline.com/2023/02/frasier-toks-olagundoye-paramount-sequel-series-kelsey-grammer-1235246471/
  11. Watching Larroquette and Malick together was a pleasure, even if they're so clearly better actors than the rest of the cast it made everyone else look worse. Nice moment between Olivia and Gurgs in the end. The rest was...fine. Abby still needs a personality. I commented after the first episodes that I rewatched the pilot of the original and in the first five minutes we knew exactly who Harry was. After four episodes Abby has barely moved past "woman who won't stop talking about her father" to "woman obsessed with Dan's life," neither of which is a personality.
  12. The Last of Us’ Gorgeous Gay Love Story Could Not Be More Timely
  13. I guess for me, I don't think she's remotely redeemable. Believing her brother was dead, she let her parents believe he'd been kidnapped, destroying their marriage and forcing them to live with the uncertainty--which is so much crueler than knowing--while she said nothing. Then, when an apparent impostor shows up and is invited into the family home, potentially jeopardizing their lives and her own, she pouts and flounces instead of telling them EXACTLY why she knows they shouldn't believe him. Even when she decides the truth is finally her only option, she contrives a situation to have her brother's body discovered rather than simply telling them what happened, which is just dragging things out more since the body still has to be identified (because she still won't just say who it is). She may be the most loathsome character on the show for me. She's awful.
  14. I kind of want to be impressed that the writers are using Nikki's reckless behavior as a deliberate character point and it's not just bad writing...but she's so unlikable and the actress so grating I can't care. I have a feeling we're supposed to be sympathetic because of what she went through with Keith's disappearance...but nope. She, her (ex?) husband, and her sour-faced daughter are all awful. I'm sick to death of the daughter's bitchface. It's hard to sympathize with her fake Keith suspicions when she believes she knows what happened to real Keith and never told her parents. Check on "bringing our babies home" again...but considering their first missing person died, does that count as her not bringing one home? The case was creepy and unpleasant...but also kind of predictable and boring? Kemi's mystery man at least kept her away from her usual magical nonsense, but it just made her look unprofessional and unable to focus on her job (like everybody else...) Mike is still consistently being written as the only non-annoying person on the show. Can he adopt (real or fake) Keith and get on a better show?
  15. I posted this link in the episode thread for those who wanted to know about game Bill/Frank, and it was deleted so it's evidently forbidden, but here it is for those interested. Their story was darker and sadder (and not told as in-depth) as in the episode. https://thelastofus.fandom.com/wiki/Bill
  16. Another long backstory about the episode. I found this particularly interesting, because I admit it was something I'd wondered about. https://www.vulture.com/article/the-last-of-us-episode-3-long-long-time-bill-and-frank-explained.html
  17. A lot of good interviews about the episode: Variety with the writers: https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/the-last-of-us-episode-3-bill-frank-nick-offerman-murray-bartlett-1235505272/ Hollywood Reporter with the writers: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/the-last-of-us-episode-3-interview-changes-game-1235308896/ And with Offerman and Bartlett: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/last-of-us-nick-offerman-murray-bartlett-episode-3-interview-1235304427/ Deadline with the creators: https://deadline.com/2023/01/the-last-us-interview-neil-druckmann-craig-mazin-nick-offerman-murray-bartlett-pedro-pascal-1235242560/
  18. Based on the ending I'm assuming the sister believes Keith drowned in the lake, and her phone call at the end is an attempt to finally have the body discovered. At this point I hope Keith isn't a fake...I hope he's a vengeful spirit from the grave (or lake)! Going full on X-files couldn't make the show any crazier.
  19. No Niles, but the reboot will feature Niles and Daphne's son David. Appearance-wise, looks like good casting. https://deadline.com/2023/01/frasier-anders-keith-niles-daphne-son-david-jess-salgueiro-kelsey-grammer-paramount-plus-sequel-1235240420/
  20. Yep, this was exactly what I came to say. It was the best episode yet...but still bad. The sister stuff was at least interesting, and the case was interesting enough. Badly executed, but it went down fairly smoothly. I wasn't as actively aggravated throughout as I was through the previous episodes. They really do like shooting into cars, don't they? At least no one was in this one. (See? Less aggravating.)
  21. The court was supposedly on the 18th floor. In the eighth season episode "Day Court," they switched to the day shift for a week. It was the same courtroom and cafeteria (but one that was much fancier during the day than it was at night, with maitre'ds and tablecloths and reservations required). https://nightcourt.fandom.com/wiki/Day_Court
  22. I would hate if they made Christine Dan's wife and killed her off. That would absolutely suck. Just because the actress is dead doesn't mean the character has to be. I don't need closure. Let Christine be happily living her life off-camera (Mac too). I thought I'd read that Marsha Warfield hadn't been approached to come back, but she apparently had some supportive things to say about the show and wished everyone the best, so she would likely be open to it if they did approach her: https://tvline.com/2023/01/18/night-court-revival-marsha-warfield-roz-reaction-video/ Ten years ago Richard Moll said there was no way he'd be involved in a reunion. Would he feel the same about a scripted reboot a decade later? (I thought I'd read he'd turned them down, but like the above, I can't find a link.) https://www.tmz.com/2013/01/23/night-court-richard-moll-no-reunion-video/
  23. The original is available free on Amazon's freevee service. I rewatched it early in the pandemic and while it was uneven and went on too long, it was still a solid show and I enjoyed it. I just rewatched the first five minutes of the original pilot, and it was just so much better written and performed than this. https://www.amazon.com/Night-Court-Complete-First-Season/dp/B0053ATLUC
  24. Harry changed his mind in the end and decided to stay at the night court. Christine had been elected to Congress and was moving to DC, so that's where Dan was following her to.
  25. I just fast forwarded through this one to see if it got any better. The ten-minute sex break in the middle of the case set to soft porn music? So stupid. Embarrassingly so. I'm glad that the main characters are already clued in that he's not really Keith (though I'm hoping for a twist--it would be more interesting now if he really was). But the fact that she only now got the baby hair to do a DNA test...and then PUT THE HAIR BACK and wasn't going to do the test until she saw her daughter taking measures to protect herself... What?!? Again, these are not the actions of an intelligent person. And now what...they're just going to have this person in their house who they don't believe while they run the tests? These people are just dumb.
