The ocean scene made me think of Titanic .... There was room for Jack on the piece of wood, Rose!

So, I generally like this show - but does Jorge understand what being an actor is? No one is telling him he can't be a gay man on Broadway. They are telling him that he needs to play the role the way the director wants, which is ... kind of what you do as an actor. Jorge should focus on Ginger and taking that show large if he wants to just express himself on stage and not play a role someone else wrote and designed. And yes, as others point out, a national tour of a Broadway show is a good gig (and a good-paying one that is, as far as I know, usually equity). I;m season ticket holder for the touring Broadway series in my midwest medium-sized city, and nearly all of the actors have Broadway credits in their bios. Among other stars, I saw Betty Buckley last year doing a touring show - if she can do it, I think you can lower yourself to do it too, Jorge.

I would be shocked if this doesn't become next seasons plot. They are pretty committed to a total reset each year. Assuming next season is the last, they have to wrap it up somehow.

Etsy trend lady needs to go! I just want to see cool arty stuff, not know if it incorporates on trend pom poms. She and Amber are clearly kindred spirits. (Amber's chess stools were the first thing she's done that didn't irk me.) I can't believe they sent home the swing girl over the stupid fabric innertubes. Khiem's arena full of dead gummy bears and bones was ... something else. I was glad to see a brighter side, and those videos were really sweet. I wish they'd explain how the challenges are done a little more. Like, do they give them a list of things to bring from home but don't tell them what the challenge is? Or do they have planning time and instructions? How much time do they get from the carpenters? Is there a "supply closet" available to all?

So. Many. Questions. I mean, the Shenandoah Valley isn't even that particularly deep. That's the one green spot left in the whole wide world, instead of, say, some incredibly deep canyon or some place like Death Valley that's way below sea level? Since apparently radiation moves in a straight line? And all the creepy storms stopped at the not-very-high, mostly rolling Shenandoah mountains but not hte Himalayas? Shenandoah, VA is nowhere near any decent-sized body of water, but yet Clarke is shown wailing in despair over some sort of giant dried up lake basin thing, before she climbs a tiny hill and sees the mysteriously magic valley. And if all the oceans and lakes dried up, where does the water come that feed the magically clean lakes and streams where they can drink the water? Or produce rain to grow their crops? I'm happy this show is back, all the same, and I'll stick with it until its bitter silly end. For some reason I care about these stupid, illogical, inconsistently written kids and their science-defying world.

There's a throw-away line in one of the novels that Targ corpses could be burnt in funeral pyre and bought back to life. I always thought (still think, I guess) that in the books, Jon will be burnt in a pyre by the NW and come back to life, thus confirming his Targ ancestry.

Jenna seems a bit ... horny. She bugs even more than when she was on the show. Not my cup of tea. Why did we get so much time on her, and not see Fik-Shun's dancers at all? I hate this editing.

If one of the little bendy girls win this thing I'm going to be really pissed. And I really liked Misty Copeland ... first time anyone gave real, useful critiques all season. Swing Latino was a hot, hot mess. I liked super crew's idea - it reminded me of LXD - but it needed a little more work and a lot less fog.

I love watching good dance, and there's not enough of it on TV. So I'll keep watching this show, no matter how contrived it gets. But the level of filler is unbelievable. I DVR and rewatch the performances - it takes less than 15 minutes. Are there any public voting rounds, or is everything controlled by the judges? DNA was robbed. I like the contemporary sisters in the junior category - they aren't oversexualized or creepy-fake intense like the other contemporary girls we've seen.

I'm just so happy this show is back! I'm sure I will be full of raging anger at something Nigel says/does in a few weeks, and Vanessa Hudgens seems useless, but whatever. Its back on, its grown-ups, its Cat Deeley. Right now, I'm happy :)

I've decided this show is an alternate history where Edward was allowed to marry Wallis and keep the throne ... and this is what they begat.

I am just going to refer to Cersei's inferno as the "fire of loose plot threads". This season has been a little clunky and poorly paced, but I think they have done a pretty good job of getting rid of a lot of the chaffe. I am hopeful, perhaps foolishly so, that some of the issues with this season were simply narrative decisions that were necessary so that the final season could really focus on the core characters, tie everything together and give us a satisfying ending.

So are we supposed to be rooting for Dany to show up in Westeros with a dothraki horde eager to rape and burn and pillage? And did she free all the dothraki slaves or is she over that shit now? Going to be super annoyed when the 1000 ships built in a matter of weeks on a treeless island show up just in time. Liked Sam's story and happy to get back to riverrun and the Frey's and tie up that storyline hopefully. (Edited - autocorrect does not have GOT dictionary, apparently.)

Apparently iman shumpert (cavs player) is a fan.... http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/2016/05/cleveland_cavaliers_guard_iman_4.html It certainly worked...

I liked how he mentioned Ankara as well in the closing. The media failure to cover attacks in the middle east/asia to the same extent as the ones in Europe has created such a false perception that terrorist attacks only happen on Western countries and so it is "us" that is under attack by "them", when in reality, that is not the case and "they" are as much or more often the victims of terrorist attacks.
