Fair warning to animal lovers, if you're reading this before you see the episode, there's some doggie violence in this one but the dog does live.  But for a moment I almost walked away.

I didn't know it was coming and was really upset--almost stopped watching also.

I'm kind of scared to watch Okja now.  Come on, it made him stop wanting to eat meat forever?!

I can understand why Okja made him stop wanting to eat or cook meat forever. It was a really good movie, but hard to watch if you care about animals (even though the animals are not real--I don't want to say more in case you decide to watch it).

This episode really showed the Columbo-like aspects of Charlie's character, and it was entertaining even though I didn't figure things out before the explanation. But it kind of bothers me that in each episode so far (and this is likely going to be the way it works in all), she confronts the guilty party when they are alone or in a situation where she could easily be killed before the police arrive. How does she know the person won't just kill her as soon as they realize she has figured things out? Clearly they are capable of murder and don't think they will be caught.

when I watched "The Stall" this evening, every time Natasha/Charlie spoke throughout this entire episode it seemed like she was totally doing an impersonation of Columbo, with the writing of Charlie's lines completely supporting the Columbo-esque persona.

I was writing something similar but your comment showed up first--great minds, etc.
