  1. Damn straight, Wakanda Forever! Lupita and Danai look stunning, and Michael looks so handsome. But Chadwick, that white suit...just no.
  2. Good God, that suit is blindingly white. I'd be afraid of spilling something on it. Not loving Halle's look, but she herself is timeless. Go Halle! Anne Hathaway looks good from the neck up. Not trying to sound cruel, but that leopard print ain't it.
  3. Allison Brie played Annie in Community, and now plays the lead in GLOW, a show about women professional wrestlers on Netflix. Damn, even People Magazine is reporting that mic gaffe by Chrissie. Spotted Constance Wu's dress, not impressive. Another dishwater colored dress and the top looks like a nude leotard you'd find at a department store. Is Timothy Chalamet wearing a glittery harness?
  4. Yikes! Matthew Rhys looks yummy. Maybe it's the beard?
  5. Supposedly, Gaga's dress is a homage to the gown Judy Garland wore in the original ASIB. It's a hot mess, but I expected an OTT mess from her. That said, the necklace is gorgeous. Such a beautiful piece of jewelry. Would love Alison Brie's dress except for the bra. It doesn't work. But the floaty tulle is pretty on her. Finally, the cast from Black Panther!!
  6. Regina King is gorgeous but I hate the patten down the side of the dress. So far, Ken Jeong’s wife had the best dress and she’s not even a celebrity. I’m ready for Lady Gaga to go away and she hasn’t even been interviewed yet.
  7. Wow. I haven't watched this show in a long time. I don't recognize a single consultant except for Randy. Shay is a jerk, but the animosity between him and Randy is so clearly manufactured for the drama. Actually, there's a ton of fake drama. There was the airhead bride who wanted to swim with the dolphins during her wedding so she wanted a two-piece dress that she could change into on the fly, the pregnant bride with the mean twin sister, the bride who wanted to get married on a glacier...ugh. With the popularity the show has gained, I shouldn't be surprised that they're getting these B and C list celebrities as clients.
  8. Exactly. I get that we've been over-saturated with Pnina's glittery corsets, but Megan's dress just veered to the other side of the spectrum. Beautiful fabric, but the dress looked unfinished, like the designer started out with ended up being her dress, and just left it like that. I did love the simplicity of her veil, hair, and makeup. But the dress needed something else beside the boat neck to set it apart; a lace overlay, a little beading, anything. It's entirely possible to do a simple gown that stands out. The dresses were a little loose, but I'm letting that slide. I doubt the poor woman ate anything in the weeks that preceded the wedding and probably lost some weight. The dresses could have been tailored once more, but they probably didn't have time.
  9. It reminds me of this ad for Amazon Music. Hope this isn't becoming a trend, because I find the singing mouth to be creepy. But at least the one for Amazon makes sense since it's coming off of the Bohemian Rhapsody movie. Katy Perry's ad just looks obnoxious.
  10. Natasha Leggero just announced on Twitter that the show won’t be picked up for fourth season. :( That sucks, but I’m really not surprised. CC just axed Detroiters too, so maybe they’re cleaning house. Regardless, the past two seasons of AP weren’t as strong as the first, and key cast members were barely there, or just missing entirely.
  11. Nice message, but the animation in the new Apple commercial is pretty off-putting. The girl’s head, hair, and sweater looked huge. I thought she was a giant until I saw everyone else in the ad. They’re just wearing really big sweaters, I guess.
  12. ITA with all this. Edge of Reason was garbage, which is why I avoided this one so long. But after seeing it, I consider this the real sequel to the first, unlike EoR. It's not perfect, but it's a vast improvement. Knowing their personalities, I can see why Mark and Bridget broke up. Mark is an excellent lawyer, but the downside to that is that he's incredibly devoted to his job. Bridget would understandably get tired of coming in second to Mark's career. I like the social changes, too. Bridget's friends have all settled down, so it makes sense that she's not hanging with them like she used to. But Miranda was a great addition, another singleton who would help Bridget get out of the funk she was in. And Jack ended up being a decent guy, especially being at Mark and Bridget's wedding. I like to think Jack met a nice woman at the reception and settled down. Although she was supposed to be a bitch, I couldn't blame Bridget's new boss for firing her. Well meaning or not, Bridget did some really stupid things at work that would get anyone fired, so she didn't deserve a pass.
  13. Managed to rewind it. The envelope read: Nicholas Pearson 2125 Songbird Rd. Bradford, PA 16701. Wondered this myself. I'm sure he does want to help, but more than that, he wants to win. Serious question: do people not like being surprised about the baby's sex anymore? I know gender reveal parties are popular, but in general, I don't hear people saying they want to wait until the delivery, they want to know immediately.
  14. I suspected that Nicky was alive. I'm wondering if he did something so awful that Jack disowned him, meaning Nicky was dead, in a way. Something horrible had to have happened for them not to speak all this time, and for the Big 3 to have no idea their uncle is still alive. So Rebecca is the one in the hospital all those years later. I'm betting this has something to do with the numerous aches and pains she was talking about with Tess. Possibly masking something worse. This election continues to drag on, but at least something is happening now. Randall is just too stubborn. If he really wants to roll up his sleeves and help the community, he can. He doesn't have to win the election to do good. And Beth is right. Tess and Deja are going through some major stuff and they need both parents there. Losing the election could be a way out for Randall if he would let it. Didn't Kate say she was 8 credits short? She might need more than six months to graduate. Not to mention going through a pregnancy, but I get what it's supposed to mean for Kate. Whatever, I'm really not invested in that.
  15. When Kevin was telling Randall how much he admired him for going after what he wanted, I was hoping Randall would take it differently. The fact that he flits from project to project without any consideration of his wife and children, is not a good thing. And his final conversation with Beth was disappointing. Beth deserves a real talk about her problems, not an offer to be part of Randall's political aspirations. "Let's get you elected." Yeah, how about no. Feels like they pulled this plot out of thin air. Not really feeling Kevin and Zoe this week. It's like seeing Rebecca and Jack's first date; we already know what's going to happen. We've seen Kevin and Zoe on a plane to Vietnam, so I wish they would just get on with it already. I'm not there yet, but this show doesn't grip me the way it used to. And yes, it's getting tedious. I fear that this is exactly what will happen.
  16. I was looking forward to meeting the famous Sophie, and you could tell this was supposed to be a major plot for Kevin. The problem was that the actors had no chemistry and it showed. It was bad when Kevin had a better rapport with Sloane, (someone he knew for five minutes) rather than Sophie, the love of his life who knew him better than anybody else. But as a couple, they were blah, viewers weren’t into her, so there was no point in keeping Sophie around. So the writers quietly shuffled her off and ended their reconciliation. Unfortunately, the writers painted themselves into a corner. Sophie was a huge part of Kevin’s life, including his teenage years. Now they have to scramble and deliberately not mention her, even though there’s a well-established history. Maybe they should have recast the character.
  17. Well said. It's hard to have a good perspective of Randall when it comes across like pity and condescension. He really didn't learn anything from Deja. It's difficult to "just be people" when others remind you that you're different. Whether it's through overt racism or a microaggression. Sure you can ignore things, but it still wears on you. Those constant reminders in the show mirrors what happens in real life. Look at Randall going to his prom. He was just an excited teenager going to a dance with the girl that he likes. But the reaction from Allison's father reminded Randall that he didn't belong there. Suddenly, it is a racist issue, although Randall hadn't expected any of that to occur. And I doubt Zoe wanted to deal with a racist cashier, but it happened. This kind of racism happens more than you think. I do think the show was more deft in the first season at showing the racism Randall experienced, along with his own feelings of doubt and insecurity. But the issue itself is important and I'm glad the show discusses it.
  18. Can't add much to this, but amen to this whole statement. The fact that Zoe told Kevin about the cashier and the pillowcase was important. Those are private details, things that will happen with Zoe and not with Kevin. If Kevin was just a booty call, Zoe wouldn't bother telling him any of this, because it wouldn't be worth it. But the bolded is true too. It's not Zoe's job to educate Kevin on Black Life, or Black Women's Hair, and it's tiring to do so. Sometimes it's not worth it to try. The fact that Zoe did talk to Kevin means she credits him more than she thought.
  19. Poor Miguel, trying to have a Jack-style moment with Randall. At least he tried. It's poignant to see teen Kevin passed out on Miguel's bed. Years later, Miguel says he knows that Kevin doesn't like him. :( LOL at Randall getting dismissed by the crowd. He hasn't learned anything from his conversations with Deja. As much as I wish this would be the end of it, I know Randall will just persist all the more to win this election. I'm not looking forward to the dirty laundry that could be aired over this. And this was mentioned before, can Randall even run in this district if he doesn't live there? Poor Beth, breaking down during the interview. She's going through a major shift herself and she doesn't have anyone to talk to. Time to start up that phone tree, Beth! Maybe Miguel will listen. I loved how that executive was all "Well, stay happy" when Kate told him her Sad, Sad Story. I didn't blame him, I would have gotten the hell out of there. Meh to everything else.
  20. Nailed it, especially the bolded part. I like the Vietnam plot, but not Jack's side of it, because I'm so tired of hearing about him. That's why the episode really started when Nicky appeared. The brief scene showing the lottery was more suspenseful than the first twenty minutes of the episode. While Jack's reasoning for enlisting is noble, I honestly don't care anymore. I would rather know about Nicky and his experiences in Vietnam. This episode had to introduce him, so now we know who he is a little of what he's like. I'm hoping we'll get him telling his own story.
  21. The episode picked up once Nicky showed. The first 20 minutes were pretty boring. I'm wondering if Robinson (the man who got his leg blown off) is the same man Kevin spoke to last week, when he was searching for Jack's friends from Vietnam. But the draft scene was well-filmed, because it was so disturbing to watch. Went from a noisy bar to dead silence. And you could see the bottom drop out from the Pearson boys when October 18 was called. Michael Angarano has come a long way since Will and Grace and did a good job introducing Nicky, who seems like a lost soul. He's a guy who clearly looks up to his brother, but doesn't know how to make it on his own.
  22. Damn, that kid was annoying. I’m glad he got rescued, but he was so annoying. Captain Sullivan speaks Spanish? Such an unexpected twist!
  23. I'm wondering if Randall's career as a weather tracker is going to be like Kate's job as a PA, something promising that was dropped without another word. And it would make sense if Randall had been unhappy. But he hated the firm, not the job. Why didn't he apply elsewhere or strike out on his own? That whole year was strange. It's like that house was on pause after William died. The only topic was fostering/adoption and Randall wouldn't hear anything else. I did Rebecca drying a plate that still had suds on it. I think the rest were rinsed off. Maybe she and Jack were too caught up in each other to notice, lol.
  24. I actually thought this was much better than last week. It's still manipulative, but they're fleshing things out. Toby was stupid to throw out his pills, but at least he's letting people know why he was taking them. Kate wants her father around, but she can't stay in Dreamland with him. Stuff like that. But wow, I really hated how Kate turned the tables on Randall when she never clarified what she meant by that stupid remark in the first place. Genetics or not, it was a stupid thing to say, and she owed Randall an apology too. Can Randall even run for office if they don't live in the district? Does this mean they're moving to Philly, now that Beth is also unemployed? Poor Beth. Forced to be the rock all the time, but no one for her to turn to. William would have listened, but he's gone now. It's not just Beth being fired, she's got to deal with the painful realization that despite her 12 years at the firm, she's not worth much to them. That had to hurt. Ngl, I didn't feel bad for Kate when she was getting railed on by her teen self. Older Kate just sucks so much, and that opening scene with Randall put me off of Kate for most of the episode. Finally, we get some backstory to Rebecca. Not much, but it's enough to show why she would look up to her ex's mom the way she did. What was the guy's name, anyway? That was a bad pornstache he was wearing.
