Carmy said he wouldn’t leave until the Bear was out of debt. How many seasons could that take? I don’t think the show will be Carmy -less until maybe the absolute finale.
I liked this season. It was so much less shouty until the last episode which made the yelling more impactful. From Bears to the end were great episodes IMO: Marcus gets his award. T beats the clock. Ebra comes up with a plan. Syd makes her decision. Carmy begins to repair things with Claire. Richie is still terribly conflicted but begins to find some peace in being the sand. Even Donna was less manic. Carmy’s decision will upset everyone and everything but will take time and maybe without the stress of making the Bear a success he can find his passion again. Maybe he can go work for Adam Shapiro. (Kidding)
The arguments between Carmy and Syd and then with Richie were painful but a lot of truths came out. They needed to exorcise the ghost of Mikey and the guilt both men felt.

We saw Billy Joel in concert earlier this year. He was wonderfully entertaining, both with his singing (can still hit a high note) and the stories he told between songs. I’m glad the concert got in just before he took a break for his health; we have a knack for seeing a performer right before he retires or dies. (RIP Tom Petty.) Just a word of warning - we’re seeing Rod Stewart next month.

see no value in Hakeem or Schumer. They have nothing to offer during these times of trouble.
What do you mean? Shumer has sent “sternly worded letters” to the White House to show his dissent. Bet that has them quaking. 🙄

I'm not sure why Whoopi didn't think she could say what "grok" means on air. It is a word that came from Robert Heinlein's book Stranger in a Strange Land, and it means to understand something completely and deeply. To "grok" something was a very significant and meaningful act allowing people to understand and become empathetic with each other.
If this meaning has been subverted by current usage, that is so sad and wrong.
Whoopi is full of shit. She wanted to sound cool but didn’t know what she was talking about.
Boo hoo, Alyssa crying from all the people being mean to her. Tots and pears, Alyssa, tots and pears.

The establishment Democrats and Jeffries is one of them, didn't consider Mamdoni a threat and now they do. They wanted Cuomo, a credibly accused sexual harasser (at the very least) who had to resign the governorship to win. That says a lot about them.
If it’s good enough for the Rs…
I can’t get over the maybe next mayor of NYC being younger than my youngest kid.

Loved this episode. It was like the anti-Fishes. The scene under the table was heartwarming (but where the heck did they find a table that large? 😄). It was great seeing all the extended family members again, just like you do at a wedding.
It took me about half the episode to say, “hey, that’s Brie Larson!” But I only know her from Lessons in Chemistry.
Of course Richie is the sand. I love that he’s trying so hard to be supportive for Tiffany and Evie even though it hurts so much. Evie will grow up loving him all the more for it.

Anything interesting (I crack me up😁) happen today, Monday, we were pre-empted with a 30 minute update on the firework warehouse explosion?
Hakeem Jeffries was a guest to talk about the new law. You know, I really want to like him, I really do, but he always sounds like he’s spouting campaign slogans.

When Ada was talking to the cook (whose name I still don’t know) about the sobriety pledge I was wishing Mrs Cook would remind her that the private lives of her employees are none of her business. Mrs Cook is going to bring Ada to a spiritualist, isn’t she? (The Clafin sisters perhaps?)
Do we have any indication that the Duke isn’t a good guy? At this point he may be Gladys’s best option. (And she’d be far, far from her mother.)
I could not understand why Marian was still hanging around after the dinner party with the Duke. It was really rude of her to not excuse herself when voices were being raised. Private family business is none of her affair.
Peggy’s storyline is interesting but is a completely different show.

The obscured face in the mirror leaves the show an opening to cast another actor to play the Iguana in the next episode. (And maybe the future?) We have no idea who the real Iguana is. I really doubt Alex has anything to do with the murder or Beatrice (but who knows?).
I live in IN so had to look up where Greenville is. I know Greenfield and Greenwood but not Greenville. (Don’t get me started on all the Browns either. Not much imagination wrt IN towns.)

My daughter and SIL had a beach wedding that was only accessible by boat so guests had a 45 min boat ride with drinks served on board. It helped distract from the heat and sand once they got there.

I mentioned this last year; there is a marvelous (nonfiction) book called The Husband Hunters about the American heiresses that married (mostly) British nobles. Mothers would take their daughters abroad with the intent of nabbing a titled husband. It was a business transaction and everyone knew it, even if to say so was vulgar. I don’t remember the author. Of course this is also the plot of The Buccaneers.

I just saw an ad tonight for something but can't recall what it was because the music was an instrumental version of Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye. I love that song.
Ha! I just saw this. It’s an epinephrine pen (?) called Neffy. That was my cat’s name (RIP) so when they sing “hello Neffy” I think of my cat.

According to IMDB it's Marian.
I could have sworn it was Marion in the credits last year. Marian with an A is better.

Marian has no money. The duke will not be interested beyond maybe a little innocent flirting.

What we likely will find out (and not until after it's too late) is that the Duke is flat broke and that the only reason he was willing to marry Gladys was her dowery
I thought that was a given?
20 hours ago, lemoncake said:As for Charles Fane, lots of foreshadowing that Aurora will be better off if he dies. Oh man, id love to see the scandal of a mysterious death and Aurora being in the middle. Even Agnes is on board with Charles dying. He better watch his step.
The discussion of the last epi included this speculation and I thought it was farfetched, but wow, the anvils continue to drop. It sure seems like a murder mystery might be coming.
Maybe the duke will kill Charles and solve both problems.
20 hours ago, iMonrey said:When Bertha sent Larry off to find Gladys I thought she was going to start grilling Marian about her intentions towards him.
I did too! There must have been an awkward conversation that we didn’t get to hear. Marion is a penniless nobody. I cannot imagine Bertha being pleased with Larry’s infatuation with her.
Something that bothers me - the Russells calling the duke by his first name. That’s totally inappropriate. Way too familiar. Did he suggest it? That would be inappropriate too.

They should not have spoiled, well, you know. At least we don’t get a good look. Can’t wait for this. I loved, loved the book.

Sorry about adding to a 6mo convo but it occurred to me that the intruder running the bath for Gramps might have been so he could recreate the death scene staged for Charles. Whether he was planning to stage a suicide or accidental drowning we can’t know, but it can’t be a coincidence.
I knew River was alive and got Gramps out of there, but how did he get the passport? Was the intruder carrying it?

I’m watching this now too. Such a great show that I new nothing about until someone recommended it.

Rodney’s death and the cover up were so horrifying I had to look away. The baby formula smoothies were pretty gross too. That stuff tastes vile.
I’m glad Charlie is still in NYC with some new characters that are now familiar to us.
So wait, this wasn’t the season finale? Are we getting more than 10 epis?

Plausibly, Marian stands to inherit 1/2 of Ada's new fortune, which includes some successful industry business. (I think it's a fair assumption that Ada will split her money between Marian and Oscar, maybe Marian even getting more since Ada seems to really like Marian
Unless Ada decides to leave it all to charity, which would not be unlike her. I don’t think either Marian or Oscar should be counting their inheritance.
21 hours ago, Roseanna said:Married women had no autonomy before the law. Even if Gladys married the duke, she would be totally dependent on her husband's good will. How can Bertha know that the duke will be like George who lets her do as she likes?
Plus Gladys would be shipped off to England where she has no friends or family for support.

OMG. It's June 25. Just saw a Walmart Back to School Sale commercial.
In my neighborhood, there are still two more days in the 2024/2025 school year.
I noticed yesterday at the grocery store they were starting to put out the back to school supplies.

I think her exact words today were something along the lines of "we're reserving judgement until we see what the effects of the bombings are". So, make of that what you will. They did have Jonathan Karl on during Monday's show to discuss it, so it's not as if they ignored it completely. I guess they're just holding on having any more discussion about it for a bit?
I think she was referring to the fact that no one knows how effective the bombs were in deterring Iran’s nuclear program. We all should reserve judgment until we get better intelligence. Of course we can’t count on this admin to tell us the truth.
24 minutes ago, Snapdragon said:Does anyone else find the conversations the panel has around anything ozempic related just bizarre? Yes, take a drug that makes you eat less because it makes you feel sick and the second you get off it, you gain all the weight back! And yes, take a drug for weight loss that was not designed for weight loss and we don't actually know if it's going to cause any long term side effects or damage! Joy calling these drugs fabulous and saying no one should be fat anymore is just...it reminds me of some dystopic sci-fi movie or something along the lines of The Substance.
I was pretty annoyed with everyone today and these comments from Joy were especially annoying. She was showing her privilege by saying everyone should be on these drugs. Not everyone has insurance that will pay for this. And yes, we don’t know the long term effects.

S02.E12: The End of the Road
in Poker Face
Ok, so I was wrong when I scoffed at the idea that Alex was the Iguana. Kudos to everyone last week who speculated this.
So how did Luca get from NY to IN in the blink of an eye?
So how did Alex escape from the wreck?
I was waiting for the reveal that the truck driver was the Iguana. He looked like Justin Theroux under that beard. Was he the guy in the diner?
I guess that’s why she’s the iguana and not the chameleon.
Rootbeer is adorable.
