  1. The first episode was pretty good and ended great when they finally got back to the web show. The second and third episode were okay. Not as funny. And it feels like they don't know what to do with Carly's friend or Freddy's forced step-daughter. They're missing Sam's personality and dynamic. It's missing her character. I don't see it lasting long if they don't replace or substitute that somehow.

  2. I would be worried. lol

    5.7m with a 1.3 demo

    That's almost 2m down from the finale (7.7). And down 1m from their lowest episode (6.6).

    They started with 10 and went down to 6 for season 1.

    I figured they may start with 7-8 (season 1 finale #'s) and fall to about 6. But damn, they're already below 6.

    Well, they've got lower rated shows on ABC but that's Karma for ya. I can't wait to see this ship sink.

    and made an even bigger racist ass of herself. #GoAwayRoseanne

    Huh? How? Because of a couple jokes she made? We’re all human. You could tell she was watching every word she said. The jokes (which I thought were funny) were clearly made out of anxiety. 

  4. I actually don’t see anything wrong with those videos. You guys really reach. Don’t you? I’ve been around WAY worse growing up. She could be tired. Maybe hungry. Maybe had some alcohol. Who cares. She’s human. If she does this right, she’ll be fine. ?

    While I will look upon Roseanne Barr with a good deal of skepticism, I'm a people person. I try very hard to like people and if I can't like them, I remind myself to try to understand them. I want Roseanne to redeem herself and I hope she does. 

    While it will certainly take a lot of time and good behavior, I just happen to think that people like Roseanne and Kathy Griffin (she of the fake severed head infamy) could redeem themselves if anyone's willing to give them a chance. 

    I certainly don't blame those who aren't willing to give people like them a chance and I empathize with them (let's face it, I'm a white female - Roseanne hasn't touched a nerve in me the way on the same intensely personal level she's touched a nerve in a LOT of other people), but I prefer to hope for the best even if I'm an idiot hoping for the best in someone like Roseanne, who has pulled this kind of shit before and probably will again. 

    There's just so much nastiness in the world and Roseanne has contributed more than her fair share. I struggle with a LOT of my own nastiness (nothing NEAR the level of filth Roseanne put out there, just to be clear) and I just want to believe in the idea that people can still be kind and respectful to each other, even if they don't have to be nice to each other, or get along with each other, or agree with each other.

    Just wanted to say I completely agree and understand.

  6. Whatever they do, it can easily be undone. As it was for Dan. So I’m not worried. If The Connors end up being pretty successful, I can see Roseanne getting back on the show... eventually. We shall see.

    I hope the network releases the show so it can be picked up elsewhere.  

    Agreed. While I don't condone what Roseanne said... it was technically free speech. I honestly don't think the show should have ended over this. Just seems too bizarre. Like the media used the opportunity to use Roseanne as a patsy for whatever reason. Just like Kathy Griffin. Hopefully it will die down and someone will pick the show up after realizing it's nothing Without Roseanne.

  8. I have a couple theories.

    We all know this was intentional. But I was thinking how on and off her acting was during the run. Like scenes she felt like old Roseanne in her element and some scenes... she looked lost or reading her lines. Or totally not interested in the line itself. It's strange. But then I think okay, she really hasn't done much since the first run of the series so it may take a season to warm up. I can understand. So I wonder if maybe she just didn't like the final result. So she did this to get out of the contract to further embarrass herself and the character she plays. I could go speculate why she does a 360 on her acting but that's another topic.

    Another theory is perhaps ABC restricted them too much? Money maybe? Directing? Scripts? Writing? Etc. Maybe upon knowing how successful the show can be, did this to get out of the contract, so she could go to Netflix or Hulu. For more freedom? I'm not sure.

    But if Roseanne continues on without "Roseanne" or if they go ahead with "Darlene", I'll feel it was because she just couldn't handle it and didn't like the final result. I know everyone says the woman is crazy but if anyone follows her, she's smart. She knows exactly what she's doing when she's doing it. Maybe not 100% of the time but a good freaken chunk. So I do wonder if this whole thing is just a publicity stunt of some kind of just a way to get out of the contract with ABC.

  9. Rushed but for the most part, satisfying I guess. Some Charmed/LOST vibes going on the end there. Kind of predictable. And disappointed we didn't get to see Elena and Jeremy reunite. But other than that, the 2nd half was not bad. It was nice to see everyone come back even though it was short and sweet.

  10. I haven't watched Nashville since season 3. But I tuned in to see what happens to Rayna and whether or not I'd jump back in to see where it goes. This episode hit Really close to home. My mother was involved in a car collision. Shattered pelvic bone and broken back. We didn't know this at the time of finding out. We were told she was hit and awake and okay. That she was talking and fine. That she was in the ER waiting. So we decided not to go to the hospital at that moment. Which later, I do regret doing. Because maybe we would have been able to say goodbye... What if! But in the moment, the shock and news really just messes with your head and your decision making process. An hour later, she was in critical condition and bleeding. And they couldn't stop it. My grandmother had to call it. So for me, I was crying like a baby during this. And from my point of view, I thought it was close to authentic.

     I was in my early 20s, and guess what?  I sat my butt in a surgical waiting room for HOURS (more than 4).  Maddie did not have to be there for the entire time, but she was certainly old enough to sit her ass down for part of the surgery. Her panic attack pissed me off.  Yes, people get them (myself included), but you let it run its course and then you go back to the waiting room.  Rayna's surgery was not about Bratty Maddie.  Daphne showed more maturity than she did.

    Guess what? People deal with things differently. It's not a black and white situation. People react differently to these types of situations. Sometimes it doesn't make sense. Sometimes it's the wrong choice but a choice nonetheless and no one should be ridiculed or judged for it. We can't predict how things are going to play out. In the end, all of them were there to see her last moment.

    I'm still on board but the show doesn't inspire a lot of exited chatter. To say the least.

    It looks like the focus is going to be on the Travelers' quest to fix the future. I'm kind of more interested to see how they cope with their pretend lives -- kids, family, jobs but it's not that kind of show. In reality, I don't think it would take but a couple of days before spouses or close friends would start reaching for the psychiatric help line.

    Episode 3 did just that in my opinion. The strongest episode so far. I'm really enjoying the show. I hope it sticks around. Timeless and Frequency lost me. Travelers and Westworld grabbed me. Great shows with great potential. Loved tonight's episode. Glad one of them wants to save some of the lives. And great cliff-hanger.

    Since this is scifi, I still think that One to show up somehow, maybe a clone or something else. I miss One. I think that he balanced out the crew.

    I feel the same. It just feels too abrupt. That's either horrible writing (yes, I know... but!) or they don't plan to give him a truly emotional death because he's not actually dead.

  13. Beth knew too much and her approach was too bull-in-a-china-shop - she would've gotten herself targeted for murder. My theory is Beth and MK found another clone who was about to die, and because she was going to die anyway, she agreed to pose as Beth and throw herself in front of the train. And when the not-Beth clone saw Sarah just before she walked in front of the train, she just thought Sarah was Beth there to witness and make sure she went through with it. It explains her reaction, because the Beth that we saw in this episode wouldn't have just let the appearance of a clone she didn't know about go.

     

    That would also explain why the show decided to go all the way with Beth/Art. It gives them something to deal with if she's alive and showing up again at some point.

    You're thinking like a writer IMO. I am also open to this idea. It seems really plausible. Regardless, I find it fishy they focused on Beth so much this episode that I can only think that she is indeed alive and we will see her at some point.

  14. I can't stick around if this show just continues to be a vehicle to promote incest . . . ugh, no thank you.

    One of my sisters was adopted into my family when we were both in high school and the thought of some sort of romantic or sexual interaction with her is beyond horrifying (even if we get past the whole part where she's straight). This storyline has been squicking me out so much and I just can't take much more of it.

    It's not incest. At - All.

    I don't understand the hate for these two characters. They met at 16. They were attracted to one another off the bat. It happens. Nothing wrong with the situation besides being adopted and all that. Like someone above me said, it would be incest-ish and weird if it were Brandon and Mariana. But Brandon and Callie? Understandable.

  15. The book sequels sucked so I'm looking forward to seeing how different it is. I'm open minded about book/movie changes. Doesn't bother me. People should expect it. It's unfortunate it's not doing as good because it looks more fun than the 2nd.

  16. I think this is a nice little show. Was kind of hoping the boyfriend would have already known the truth or figured it out himself. They'll probably save that for Hilary Duff's character in the future or perhaps the boss'. But I am curious to see where they go with it for season 2. Could be fun seeing him play into her antics and possibly the daughter.

  17. I'm calling now that the season finale is her finding out.

    I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't already know or will know before the reveal on the season finale. She is a journalist after-all...

  18. I didn't think Two and Three having sex (or alluding to it) was out of the blue or weird. I thought it made perfect sense. Three is the sexual attraction but One is the romantic attraction. Classic triangle.

  19. I'm enjoying this. And I think the lead actress is great personally. They all are. Not sure how long I'll be sticking around. I tend to watch the "important" episodes with standalone like shows. The mystery of her father and whatnot seem to be the arc of the show or perhaps season. I think what will keep me coming back are the awkward reactions and comedy aspect. So keep that up. This doesn't seem like a show that will take itself too seriously and I like that kind.
