  1. Isn't Veronica making fun of Wallace's new mustache? I don't think she's commenting on the hair on top of his head, I think it's his facial hair. I can see doing that to any of my male friends trying to grow a mustache in high school. I don't see it as racial. There are a lot of other racial issues in this episode but I don't think that is one of them. I think the Veronica/Keith issues raise flags because they do have more of a partnership/ spousal vibe. If this was just a happy adjusted nuclear family I don't think the touching would even be noticed but they do have a different back and forth dynamic. They are always crossing lines. For me it's part of the reason I like the show, it's messy and interesting. I also thought this was one of the few times that Teddy Dunn was pretty good. I thought the way he was just trying to be blank and not react to his friend acting crazy worked for the scene. It's like they found a way to write to his strengths. It's hard to take Anthony Anderson seriously as a Suge Knight character. Maybe it worked better at the time. I did like all the Veronica and Lili flashbacks though.
  2. I love this episode. The relationship between the four friends. This really sets up what everyone lost. I can understand why losing her would be devastating for this group. I liked the MOTW, I know it doesn't really hold up but Veronica calling Wallace 'Papabear' kills me. I like the scenes at the Cybercafe and the college. Also Enrico is hot walking around with the DEA jacket with the dog. In my head LoVe was pronounced Low Vee. I know they became really problematic as a couple but damn do KB and JD have chemistry.
  3. Paris Hilton is so awful. Those extensions are awful. Was that the style? This is one of my least favourite episodes even though it introduces Troy. I love the whole Troy storyline. It's weird to think about if he was cast as Duncan. I'm not sure even that would have worked. So many issues with the writing of Duncan I've never been convinced even a good actor could pull it off. Logan and Weevil continue to have awesome chemistry, I like how they play off each other. Their scenes have always been some of the best of the series for me.
  4. I wonder if part of the reason that Joe and Mika went public is because they knew her father was close to the end? I see those funeral pictures and if they were not already public it would have been a lot more obvious then it already was.
  5. OMG, I've watched the pilot several times and never noticed Logan's accent in the flashback scene. I'm dying, what is going on with that? The first few scenes between Keith and Veronica are so odd. I think it goes away but they had such odd chemistry. I totally agree about Enrico, he's got a thing.
  6. I'm really looking forward to this. I was thinking of doing a re-watch last winter and just didn't have a chance. Now I have a reason. Already subscribed!
  7. I'm not sure if I think Hannah is ready for a child but she shown some growth this season for sure. I'm so happy that she doesn't seem concerned with anything that Jessa and Adam are up to. Last year she would have been absorbed in so much self pity about them. She also seems to be working regularly and we've seen her take jobs that she's not really interested in. A couple of years ago she would have quit before writing something that she wasn't interested in. I thought Elijah was really out of line. I thought that was about and nothing to do with Hannah. I know we likely won't but I hope we get a Riz Ahmed scene. Hope Hannah tracks him down and at least tells him what's going on. Just because I want him on my TV.
  8. I don't understand this show yet but I really do love it. The scene with the Cardinals sitting around reminded of the Sopranos. It was like all the guys sitting around at the Bada Bing. I don't know Silvio Orlando from anything else but he's stealing every scene, he's terrific. Cardinal Voiello is the best.
  9. I was stuck inside this weekend and I decided to give this a try. I'm so glad I did. What a good show. It did take a little while to get used the laugh track. I think we're just not used to them anymore. I really like the whole cast. The kids were good. The topics were surprising how they handled such important issues in a smart and funny way. I've seen Justina Machado in lots of things over the years. I remember her mostly from Six Feet Under. She was amazing in this series. The show wouldn't have worked as well is she wasn't so good. I would recommend this show to anyone. Hope we get a 2nd season.
  10. I think Adam had this game won before the final tribal. I just don't buy that the jury makes up their minds before going in. I think it was pretty clear from the questions and the attitudes that they were giving Ken and Hannah that they just didn't have a ton of respect for either. Whether it was true or not the jury perceived that Adam got out Dave and this was the move they waned to reward. I think the only vote Adam may have swayed was Michelle who seemed to be trying to help Hannah with her question. I think Adam had that won handily even before he brought up his Mom. Same way I think Jeremy had it won long before he brought up his pregnant wife.

    I liked this revival a lot. I was always more invested in Lorelai than Rory so her storyline really made me happy. I liked her growth with Emily and her and Luke finally getting their wedding. I had always heard that LG and SP had a bumpy relationship but it really felt like they must have been in a better place then the last few seasons on the show. Almost all the Luke and Lorelai scenes were great and their chemistry was really evident. Emily at the museum was the greatest. She looked so happy and proud of herself. So awesome. I get they are going for a comparison of Christopher/Logan but it really doesn't work. Logan is a 33? year old man who lives on his own, has his own money, has been shown to have more of a backbone and as being more grounded than Christopher ever did. Rory is also not Lorelai. To me they played it like Rory was in love with Logan and was just waiting for him to leave his fiancé and pick her. I also got the impression that Logan was also waiting for her to ask. They played that like they were both 100% in love with each other and were both just nervous to take the plunge. Maybe the ending would have worked a little more if they had dialed back the love. As much as I liked it and it was fun to go back to this story I hope they don't make more. I want them to leave it right there.
  12. She's awful. It's bad when I think Kris is in the right. Caitlyn is the parent. She should be contacting Khloe to work it out. Not pulling this whole bullshit about "If she wants to call me to apologize I might listen..." Seriously? I think Caitlyn is all about herself and is no longer interested in being a parent. Was this person always inside of Bruce? The complete personality shift is strange to me. Scott is sad to watch. Did he say he wanted to "get back to work".? Huh. He has never done anything. He used to be the comic relief on this show and now he can't do that. I really wish the would not show him. The look on Kim's face when Kris called her out about the 72 day marriage. I didn't think she was capable of expressing but that was a riot. Kourtney couldn't cover her grin fast enough with her water.
  13. They were at Hannah's place. It was Hannah who said "This is me". Adam moved in with Ray at some point. 90% of that stuff was Ray's. The apartment has not changed since he was there by himself. I kept thinking "Poor Ray". Count me in as someone who was thinking that Laird was high. It seemed like excuses but maybe we should trust Adam... that scene was weird to me. Laird is so squirly though so it is hard to tell.
  14. I agree with those that think the Boss looks like Daddy Keaton. I like his character but he seems like such a weird fit for his position. So paternal of all these young employees. Tyrell looks so much like Scott Disick (from a few years ago before facial hair). Just when I thought he was super creepy it seems his wife is creepier. Topping from the bottom. His story really interested me this week. I agree that it seems a little American Psycho but the actor is compelling. I go back and forth with whether or not Christian Slater/Mr Robot is real or not. It seems so obvious to me that he is part of his imagination but then I start to think the twist is that he is real. I keep going back and forth. I think that fact that is seems so obvious keeps throwing me. I liked this episode. I liked that there was not ay side plot of him rescuing someone, I was worried they would do that every week.
  15. I think this guy is lying with every word he speaks but I don't give too much credence to the blinking because I get the impression this guy is heavily medicated. I don't know for sure but his speech and facial ticks reminds me of someone who is likely on some pretty stong antipsychotics. He's obviously off in a lot of ways but I think some of his mannerisms are due to strong medication.
  16. I am pretty sure that Kristen did not do the audiobook. I really liked this book. I thought the mystery was pretty good. I loved that there were more from the other characters. There is more Keith, Logan, Mac and Weevil is this story and lots of pop-ups by a lot of other favs. Won't get into specifics yet but I also like that they seem to be setting up more stories in Neptune. Don't know if there are plans for more books but I really hope so.
  17. LOL, the third episode made my day! I think this was the best yet. Enrico and Percy were hilarious.
  18. That whole part with the big guard and the nuns was the funniest. The at the end "Run Nuns, Run". It killed me. What a great end the season. Loved seeing Rosa take off in the van. I liked that Piper was just another character this season. I think it works better with her just part of the ensemble. I was so worried that Taystee and Poussey would end badly. So happy to see their friendship restored at the end.
