Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Trag,

do you remember anything specific about how Alex hurt her back? This really seemed to come out of nowhere to us.

No, it came completely out of nowhere.

Ok. I thought so. Very strange.

All sorts of stuff out of left field this season:

Spoiler: show

Alex's back injury
Bradley is gay/bisexual
Isabella hates chip -- she never even worked with him before!
Claire has just completely disappeared
We learn in a flashback that Cory loves Bradley
Mitch is gonna drive off a cliff despite falling for his Italian beauty

Meanwhile we know absolutely nothing about some of the production team members we've been seeing every episode since day 1

Spoiler: show

Regarding Mitch driving off the cliff. I don’t think he actively did that. He seemed to be ran off the road (by Alex?) and with all his feelings about the book revelations and everything, he decided to just not fight the flow. As if it was meant to happen, so why fight it?

And of course Cory loves Bradley. That’s been evident from almost the start.

I agree about your reading of Mitch; but I think they could have spent more time this season demonstrating his despair. He's basically spent the entire time in Italy coming to some meaningful realizations about himself, and falling for the Italian gal. At no point did he seem depressed, and then all of a sudden we get this voiceover montage of all the negative stuff in his head moments before he decides to take his hands off the wheel.

And I don't think it was Alex's car, based on the geography of her approaching the airport, I don't see how that could be the case.

As for Corey and Bradley, part of what made Corey so great was that he seemed like he genuinely cared for Bradley's career, and in getting her viewpoint on national TV. The romantic interest wrinkle kind changes his motivations to some degree, and I think it was just clumsily handled.

I agree

I clicked on all the spoilers here and now I’m even more glad I stopped watching this.

[Farmer John]

I'll be getting another 3 month trial for this so I'm laying out the options to try and get my 3 months worth.

Foundation
Invasion
Mythic Quest (loved S01)
The Mosquito Coast (is this any good?)
For All Mankind
The Velvet Underground

I liked both first seasons of Morning Show and Ted Lasso and I'll probably get to them, but I'd rather check these others out first.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Foundation, Invasion, and especially For All Mankind are all great

It must be one helluva episode to reverse all the negativity you felt for the season thus far. Did Pam wake up to find Bobby in the shower?

[wease]

Good episode.

We started it not knowing it was a longer episode. We’ve about 30 minutes left. Because Mrs Wease is out of town until Sat, it’ll be at least then before we get to finish it.
