  1. Also, watch Derek on Netflix. He plays a completely different character and it's great.
  2. That's true, I guess we don't. However, they've spent a ton of time establishing how far Roy has come in dealing with his emotions, especially when it's come to Keely and Jamie. As badly as I feel they've handled Nate's character arc, it would be absurd for them to fuck up so badly as to have Roy let Jamie's profession of love to Keely end/irreparably damage their relationship. Roy is no Nate - he knows he's the shit and he loves his girlfriend. He's not going to fuck the teacher because of the confessions at the photo shoot. And Keely is no slouch when it comes to emotional availability either. She didn't have to tell Roy what Jamie said, but she did. Despite their issues, these two have the best relationship on the show after Higgins and his wife.
  3. The NPR recap encapsulates my feelings about the Roy-Keely storyline better than I could've said myself.
  4. With the spitting at himself in the mirror and his hair turning gray, I think the writers are trying for Nate slowly destroying himself and knowing it as he does all this awful stuff, but his arc hasn't been handled well, IMO. He went from nagging Will back in the beginning of the season, which was played for laughs, to full-on Evil Nate in no time at all. And I do realize that there was a time jump of several months in the beginning of the season but it's still not working for me. I think Roy ends up proposing. He's a lot of things, but not cruel and self-destructive. I figured there'd be some conflict between him and Keely this season but they've spent a lot of time on their relationship and showing how he's softened up for her (and only her - everyone else except Phoebe can fuck off). I suspect Jamie telling her he loves her will be the push he needs to put a ring on it.
  5. I'm used to Nathan Lane in The Birdcage and Modern Family and all that - loving him as
  6. Can y'all even imagine how shitty of a dad Rupert is going to be?
  7. Overall, I wished it had advanced the narrative more, but it did have a few LOL moments. I still don't like Jane for Beard and it's weird that they seem to want us to like her now. I do like thinking about Beard having lots of these nights that we've just never seen before.
  8. Sounds like there's a journalist out there jealous of Roy Kent.
  9. Oh my god can y'all please take this shit somewhere else? This thread is like 50% playground fight now. We need to get back to memes and whatnot. I'll go.
  10. Everyone wears it but you don't let everyone see it?
  11. That was an Irish accent. You should watch Derry Girls. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Ha, I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully we'll find out before next season.
  13. Fantastic episode. They've had problems with some of the narrative pacing this season, but they picked it up a ton with this episode.
  14. Of course the top two guys on that list are actually named Dick.
  15. Nate's arc is super weird to me. I didn't love it but could buy it through the interaction with Beard and then his apology to Colin. He's always been shy, a doormat, and was getting caught up in his own hubris and needed to be taken down a notch. But the ending with Will is making him out to be just plain cruel, and that seems really out of step with how they've built his character. I mean, I know he's been feeling insecure since they hired Roy, but this isn't Breaking Bad.
  16. Yeah I thought that too, and here's what Kendall said about it. The embeds below are weird and I couldn't isolate the specific tweets but in short, the TxBountyHunter subreddit has since been deleted.
  17. Sure, but if that were the case you'd think that Led Tasso would've triggered the panic attack. I think it's more along the lines of Roy telling him he messed up Jamie, mixed with him not being able to be there for his son.
  18. I thought about that, but the only time I remember him saying much about his dad was when he was playing darts with Rupert and he talked about how they used to play every week until he passed away. I didn't get the sense that he was a dick to him.
  19. And she was a 3 at landfall, too, which is what the last model I saw predicted Ida would be. I'm getting flashbacks to that NWS Katrina warning bulletin. It still gives me goosebumps when I read it.
  20. When is this happening? My 4th grader's whole class was sent home yesterday to quarantine because one of the kids tested positive. They've all been masked so I'm not super worried about it but we're getting him tested soon so he can get back to in-person school. He's upset that he just got back to "normal school" with his friends and it only lasted a week before having to come back home.
  21. God, I love Beard.
  22. I don't know about y'all but I'm over reality at the moment. Give me Ted Lasso escapism any day. This is what I thought, but after yesterday's episode, I'm not so sure. Maybe the Bantr thing will be a fake-out? Not enough love for this song. It's so great.
  23. That's my guitar, Lucinda. The first song I learned to play was Blue by Lucinda Williams, and I thought the name fit. She's nothing fancy, just a mid-range Yamaha, but she sounds good when I'm tooling around at home. The radio is a Sears & Roebuck Silvertone 53 with a phonograph in the chassis, circa 1950. It was my grandpa's, and when he died a few years ago I found a place for it in the living room. The tuner will probably never work again, but my dad thinks we may be able to get the phonograph working again. Even if not, oh well. It reminds me of Pawpaw.
  24. What is this face? Something like, "I'm pretending to be comfortable, but I am ready to fuck shit up if I get a whiff of squirrel or bird or other enemy and need to spring into action to defend my homestead"?
