I watched it last night, getting on my treadmill for the first 10 minutes or so and trudging along with Melanie, shouting at the TV - come on, Melanie, we can do it. Almost there now. :)

And seeing nowhere else to put this, I’ll put it here. Seems it ended just in time for Uhtred of Bebbenburg to meet up with Alfred and take the story of Englaland forward. :)

In the meantime, of course, right after this show Uhtred of Bebbenburg shows up for the rest of the Alfred years. So there’s your sequel right there.

I agree with you on the writing. They have to get writers who know how to write young people - or people of any kind. The writer need a dialog coach. Badly. Don’t understand how some of these scripts got out of the writers’ room.

Yeah. The writing. Why does whatsisname say that the Mississippi will save them, or words to that effect, with absolutely no explanation behind it. And my own favorite irritation: the geography. I still don’t know where exactly they are coming from, and if Omaha was “north,” then they’ve come across Kansas? So where…

My son and I have been watching faithfully ever since Malvo, but nothing has lived up to that one. After this week’s  episode, he said (and he always knows what’s going on when I don’t), “I have no idea what’s going on in this show anymore.” I’ll stay with it for Ethelrida, but I’m sick and tired of mafia porn. Fargo…

Also, where are they? They are headed to New York and Omaha is north of them, so NY is northeast, so why can’t they go to Omaha and THEN go east? The geography isn’t making sense to me. I need a map.

I was so relieved when they offed Bonnet because in the unforgettable words of Richard Nixon, now you won’t have that dick to kick around anymore. I found his entire story arc wearying and predictable.

I was kind of disappointed that Roger and Brianna didn’t immediately settle on becoming school teachers - not founding a university, but teaching the children of Fraser’s Ridge. A place should be found for Roger that takes advantage of his skills, not that insist that he become an 18th century woodsman.

I’m disappointed that the others are in another damn train. I so want there to be survivors out there somewhere - so much more interesting than another power struggle. I still remember the polar bear in the last shots of the movie.

I bought my own Alexa because of Dom, and Darlene killed her? She keeps my shopping lists, and I always remember to thank her. And yes, I live alone, but then I’m 77 with a lot of history, so not lonely. Just Lone.

I couldn’t help but both wince and smile at the recitation of The Road to Mandalay. I loved it when I was young and yearned for adventure, having no real idea what the thing was all about. “and the sun comes up like thunder out of China crost the bay.” Found I knew lots of it by heart.

I’m a little old lady of 76, and recently discovered Supernatural on Netflix. Am up to Season 8 now. One per night. I’m recording all of Season 15 so it will be there when I finish. It’s my comfort TV, pure pleasure (spiced with occasional irritation) - a good break from TWD, Preacher, Mr. Robot, and the news.…

I recently moved back to the Midwest (WI) and was pleased to find so many episodes set in small burg WI. Maybe another reason it’s so popular. Great swathes of America could imagine them coming t0 save them, too.

Just finished watching the season, and I have to say I like Diane’s arc with her husband. I don’t buy for a minute that he’s into Trump, and her helping him craft that message was pure snark - and he knew it. To my mind, it was an entire season of everyone going to the dark side one way or another, and what happens…

Ford might have his head up his ass about cultural and political realities, but he’s right about the likely identity of the killer. He and Tench should be concentrating on what they have learned, but Tench seems determined to do it all the old-fashioned way, presumably because he just can’t find the concentration he…

My son has worked with autistic kids (in 1985) and his (non-professional) diagnosis of Tench’s son is that he is undiagnosed autistic. He doesn’t like to be touched, and he has a curious lack of empathy. I heard them say it was an accident (just finished watching this episode last night), so maybe he’s not a killer,…

My son comes over to watch this with me, and neither one of us can remember what the ultimate point is. We’ve given up on Legion (I still watch it) and American Gods - I do have to remember to watch the last episode one of these days - and even Westworld became something of a chore. It seems that the effort to make…

I agree with you about June, so I have now begun to watch it not so much as must-see TV, as a dystopian procedural of sorts in which all kinds of unbelievable things happen and the heroine gets away with stuff. But I do have a different take on the Wallingfords. I really, really want this to be a long con of Serena’s.…

Sigh. I’m afraid that, for me, Heaven is a Place on Earth is now and always will be owned by Flo and Progressive Insurance. :(
