Mrs. Stanwyck

My favorite line was an off camera Bev Melon yelling "3 for 3 Fuckers!" after the actors analyzed her.. Definitely caught Selena breaking during Bev's kitchen scene. At one point she is in the background and has her face turned away from the camera and you can see her shaking with laughter. I'm glad Charles and Doreen made up. I like that Charles isn't completely alone in the world - aside from Mabel and Oliver.

The way I see it is that original assassin went rogue when he bombed the shopping center. As soon as they found the fake identity, David Cartwright would have recognized it as one that he gave to Harkness all those years ago. He could have gone to First Desk and told the whole story and then all of MI5 would have come down on Harkness. By assassinating David before he could do that, no one would know who was using the cold body identity. Killing David was all about damage control. Harkness promised to kill everyone who could connect the dots so his client wouldn't have to worry about Harkness getting caught and selling him out.

After the last 2 episodes, I now think Sonny may not make it out alive. His daughter is squared away with money and a new stepfather. He's going to make sure Davis doesn't take the fall for him punching that guy and if he does that, he'll be out. I think Sonny goes out a hero I'll be sad if he doesn't make it out alive. Sunday 10-6 - I'm glad I was wrong about Sonny but it was nice to see how much he has matured. I'm glad Jason was in a better mental state but I think he should have taken the desk job. Over all, a good wrap up of the series.

It appears they are setting up everyone's exit. Jason with the new TBI job, Davis with the promotion and I'm sure Ray is going to come around to being excited about Spenser House. Who would have thought we see a more mature Sonny - first helping Ben and second moving forward with his invention.

I asked the same thing but I did notice in the beginning talking head segment, Jenny mentioned that the owner (Rebecca?) wanted high end finishes everywhere so that may have been more a directive than a choice by Jenny. But that made me ask why spend for high end finishes in a rental house? I'm not suggesting you go cheap but there is a happy medium. If (when) something gets broken, it will be difficult and expensive to replace custom made fixtures. Unless I missed it, they never said what was in the other building right next door which looked to be on the same property. My thought is that is the owner's house (or at least their second house if they live in Florence most of the time) and they'll be around to deal with the cheese and the sheep occasionally. I do think the entrance to the cheese cellar was on the outside of the house and that there was no access from inside the house, so the owners would not have to go in and out of the house. I actually googled it after the finale. If looks like you can rent the whole house for about 4,000 euros for 5 days. If you had 6 people split that, its about 670 euros per person. A hotel at 150 euros/night would be 750 for 5 days. Granted, you could have two people in the hotel room for 750 but the house would give you access to a kitchen and more space. I actually thought it would be listed for more than that. If they rented it every week, it would take them 2.5 years to recoup their renovation budget so they would still need to recoup the purchase price. Unless that cheese makes them a lot of money, it will be quite some time before they see any profit. Plus, the website says its only available for rent between May and October. I have no idea what they are doing with the property the rest of the year. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me but there must be some rationale for it.

I really enjoyed this episode - there were some laugh out loud moments for me. I loved the exchange between Harry and Asta ... "and rescue D'arcy, right?" "We'll see how we're doing on time." I was really happy for D'arcy during the scene with her father. Between that, and the honest conversations she and Asta have been having, I have hopes for "less of a mess" D'arcy going forward. It will be nice to see the growth. I think next season we will see those that know about Harry expand to include Liv and Mr. & Mrs. Mayor. I can't wait to see them find out that Max has known for a long time. Hopefully we won't have to wait as long for the next season as we did for this one.

My thought was the relatives were told not to discuss with anyone and Clark Gregg said he was approached by the other lady at the bank the prior week. Maybe they were concerned she had gone to the police and they were trying to eliminate all of the witnesses outside of prison. If they left the families alone and killed the prisons, then there was no reason for the families not to go to the police at that point. I don't think it had anything to do with being late on payments. The other almost victims were people the lady had also reached out to.

Obviously, TV recovery but I saw her as unable to to back to NASA due to the trauma. That fact caused her stress and depression because apparently her family needed her to have that job. Now, she has a new focus and purpose that doesn't involve working at NASA. She can be useful and work on something she finds interesting. It doesn't cure her PTSD but it probably helps her depression. Or at least masks it for the time being.

My post-college niece is visiting and I made some comment about the Thanksgiving episode and she looked puzzled and I found out she had never even heard of WKRP. We promptly pulled out the DVDs and watched the Pilot Parts 1 &2 and then the Thanksgiving episode. She was hooked and we've been watching other episodes. We just watched The Contest Nobody Could Win and I was shocked to find out that episode has an alternate ending. I always remember it ending with Johnny walking into the lobby with the stolen briefcase but the DVD ended with Johnny borrowing money from Venus and talking about his wages being garnished to pay back the money. I think I like the alternate ended better. Edited to add: after I posted, I just scrolled up and read some of the older posts and I see someone mentioned the alternate ending in 2019. I'm having so much fun re-watching with someone who hasn't seen the show before!

My assumption was that he and Sareth and their child went off to live somewhere anonymously and Demerzel is going to let them? I wasn't sure because she also talked about hunting them down. I hope since he basically relinquished his claim to the Empire throne, she just move on with her 3 new Empires and let poor Dawn go since he wouldn't be a threat. Don't really know how everyone on the planet survived in the vault since we thought we explicitly saw Poly get wiped out when the ship hit Terminus but I'm happy they did. I thought it was sad that Constant's fathers died without knowing she was still alive so glad they were all reunited. I enjoyed Bel and Hober's nice moment before space folded in on them. I am sorry that we will probably not see any (many?) of these characters in the next chapter since we are 152 years in the future (aside from Gaal, Hari, Demerzel and Empire that is).

I would agree but they sort of set the stage for this before she left for Trantor when she outlined to Hobor how she thought things would go between the two of them. And I don't think it happened solely because she couldn't contain her desires or she was so turned on it. I think experiencing sex was something she wanted to do and she simply took the opportunity because who knows if she would get another one. Given that she was very nearly beheaded I can forgive her "this may be my only shot" attitude. I do think it was a different chamber than we saw before because I don't think we've ever seen a door open in the mural. I'm not sure if Day has ever been there before as I said, I think this was a different place. That being said, I guess it is possible that he has been there but doesn't remember it because I think it was made clear that Demerzel has been wiping his/their memories. The original Cleon had almost 300 units of memory but all the Dusks since then only had about 87 units. I think Demerzel has made sure there is a huge chunk of Cleon I's memories that the clones don't have.

I completely missed it - what was Leia reference?

When Sabine was there by herself trying to move the cup, I started chanting "I am one with the force; the force is with me." It helps that they've been running Rogue One nonstop and I keep coming in at the same part where Chirrut is going for the master switch.

Speaking of quotes, I did enjoy the one in this last episode where in response to Raylan getting up to get save Mansell from the Albanians, Carolyn said "Goddamn it Raylan" and he replied, "Yeah, I get that a lot."

I sort of get where Carolyn was coming from. She tried to let the law do its thing. She turned over the Judge's book to use to tie Mansell to his murder and that didn't work because he was tipped off. Then, he shot and killed Sweetie and she turned the gun over so the law could tie him to his crimes and again, a dirty cop let him get away. Then, he came to threaten her and apparently the law couldn't do anything to stop him. I get why the Albanians became an option she would consider. I also assume that although Mansell wasn't reaching for his gun when Raylan shot him, I'm pretty sure he still had the gun he used to shoot all the Albanians. Raylan may have sped up the process but the stand off between those two wouldn't have ended any other way. Raylan would have insisted on arresting him and Mansell wasn't going to let that happen. I think Sandy got on the plane and left town after she arranged the meet up with Mansell although considering Mansell and all of the Albanians are dead, there really isn't any reason she had to leave. It was nice to see all of the Justified characters at the end. If they do another season, I'll certainly watch but it wouldn't surprise me if they left it like this. If they do another season, Raylan will eventually put Boyd back in prison and I think most people are happier knowing that Boyd is out. I do hope he notifies Ava but at least Boyd thinks she's dead so he won't spend time looking for her.
