I was as appalled watching “American” pies being made as I imagine the French would be watching us make “French fries”.  Not a pie plate to be seen, nor apples.  Judges state “no tops”.  What?  Catherine’s American relative giving her a thumbs up on the peanut butter pie? Traitor.

I went to high school with him and he was such a geek. Went with him when he competed on an episode of It’s Academic.  So I wish I could say I like his books, but I don’t.  

Stars for GRRRRRR Martin. Dude got so distracted by the show he can’t bother to finish his own damn book.  Pisses me off that I spent all that time reading everything he wrote, and now there will be NO ENDING.

The Martian movie was so good, but then I read the book which was geeky and tedious

The treacle tart with its breadcrumbs reminded me of one of the ghastliest pastries I’ve eaten: shoofly pie.

Thanks so much for the post. I’m a little late to the party because I had to figure out how to subscribe to PBS Passport. Now I get to watch the season and read your wonderful recaps.

I’m reading ‘Confessions of a Sociopath’, and the author points out that they don’t experience fear.  

Far away, yes, but no traffic :)

The telescopes on top of Mauna Kea, at almost 14,000 feet, are ALWAYS above the clouds.

Your friends must not go out much if you think there aren’t a lot of nice beaches on the Big Island. Hapuna Beach is consistently rated one of the top ten beaches in the country. In Hilo (Keaukaha) there is a great black sand beach where the snorkeling is awesome and you can see snow on Mauna Kea. There are too…

Some clarifications:

Yup. I had a healthcare provider maliciously share my health info which was a blatant HIPAA violation. Filed a case with the federal Office of Civil Rights and the attorney who was supposed to be handling it was a jerk to me AND wrongly denied my claim. Her boss is of course a trump appointee. Shit sure trickles…

Yup. Anyone see the episode Anthony Bourdain went to Mexico (can’t remember which show) and said it was where like 50% of all US cooks are from?

Whomever is on the side of deportation should never be allowed to eat at ANY restaurant.

Wish they’d get rid of Kodachrome. Worst. Movie. Ever.

Great series, and I was left with questions. Why the colored clothes? Was Bagwhan murdered or euthanized? Did Bagwhan know Sheela was an evil psychopath?

I was in my early 20’s in the Bay Area then, read the paper daily and while watching the show I kept asking myself how I knew nothing about all this. All I remember is “purple people” (everybody knew who you were talking about if you called them that back then), Rajneesh’s Rolls Royces, and that all of a sudden they…

Watching Sheela smiling, reminded me of Trump. Both sociopaths. Both hoodwinking people...

Why not? My ex did, which I appreciated. More blow jobs.

I live in Hawaii and we’re having a mumps epidemic. Tourists coming from the mainland, please get vaccinated. We’re isolated islands with rural populations. And yes, I know the parents here need to vaccinate as well. Just making a correlation with NYC visitors.
