  1. Finally got to see this on Hulu. Thought I would hate it at first but then realized the black and white and odd things were the way a baby or toddler would see them and as she became more educated, she saw things as more like they really were. I thought the prostitution scenes went on too long but overall I liked it and Emma was great.
  2. Bode should change his name to Job from the Bible; one tragic thing after another. I seriously can’t see him getting in trouble for not leaving a lost and terrified girl in the woods .Obligatory Sharon and Vince are a hot, sexy couple scene. Then more people talking about their personal lives during an emergency.
  3. That woman who was spending hundreds of dollars on baby stuff, where did she think they would get all of that money? They play fast and loose on the timeline here but it looked like she just found out she is pregnant and immediately ordered a million things for the baby. No one buys that much stuff when you are one or two months pregnant. And that was a lot of pressure to put on your husband who just got out of jail. Then he said he previously sent her $15,000-where did the money come from? Outside of Svea and the blond Lithuanian woman, all of these women look alike to me: Heavy set, plumped up lips, heavy makeup, look older than they are. I guess there were no happy endings to any of these stories but I'm glad the one woman moved back to Australia to be with her son.
  4. The parts with little Truman and his mother were sad but most of the rest were fantasy sequences and a way to feature the actresses one more time. It was good that Truman had Joanne Carson to live with but she came across as flaky and enabling of his drinking. I assume the scenes of plate throwing with Slim and dancing on a bar with CZ were made up. It was sad and tacky seeing his ashes up for auction. I liked seeing the ghosts of the swans at the end but their comments about flip flops was just annoying. Fashions change and wealthy women were and are the only ones who have the means to buy new wardrobes every year, have celebrity designers and stylists at their fingertips. So yes people from any generation would find the clothing choices of a different generation not to their taste-it didn’t say anything profound about the swans.
  5. I don’t like situations where a bunch of people target one person especially an older woman. Kim is playing the game like everyone else. I’m not sure I like the idea of the person beating the banker getting to choose someone to leave the game. Sure they vote people off on Survivor but at least you have chances to win challenges, find idols or win something to help you stay in the game. I liked Claudia on the original show but that doesn’t mean she is queen bee here.
  6. I miss the days when the characters had some humanity left. I know a lot of dystopian stories feature people that no longer have human feelings but it isn’t pleasant to watch. I’m hoping Michonne will at least tell Rick about his son although parents in this series seem to leave their children for years at a time and therefore I would think they no longer have any kind of connection. I guess I don’t understand the motivations of people who just want to kill , torture and live in a cruel world. There are just too many of them in the WD universe.
  7. I didn’t like this season as much as the first but I’m enjoying Jamie’s performance. Some parts were ridiculous like Elliot getting kidnapped or held at gunpoint every episode but never getting hurt. I didn’t like Helen as much this season and thought her kidnapping and ex-fiancé returning was just over the top. I did think at first that Eugene’s brother must have been the one behind the drug mule stuff but I don’t know now that we found out he was an agent of some kind.
  8. Brennan recounted the shower curtain story to Emily when she asked why he was upset and she didn’t deny it happened.
  9. Emily also admitted she tried to tear down the shower curtain to get at Brennan and passed out on him in bed. If a man did those things he would be judged very harshly. She had been drinking a lot before this happened. I believe she has a drinking problem and that is one of the reasons she was constantly ghosted. Brennan is a grim robot so I don’t like him either but Emily is not entirely an innocent victim here.
  10. The robo cooker also seemed like the spices would last a long time but the produce and protein would be used up in a couple of dishes and then you would be cleaning, shopping and chopping up again. I don’t see it saving much time and like others have said it only makes stew and rice dishes. I didn’t really get the nursing fan either. I never got hot while breastfeeding and small babies really don’t need fans blowing on them. You can find a way to cover up discreetly without roasting. As far as the edible candles, if you are already eating cake you probably don’t need extra sweets. I can’t see this making a huge amount of money but people might buy it for the novelty factor.
  11. I would like to have seen a whole season played out with Ray and Renee brought down. Glad to see Jackie doing better for the moment anyway.
  12. When Kenzie asked the camera person how blue her eyes looked after crying I thought we had a great match to conceited Liz talking about herself in third person. Hated the fake idol thing and wish Jess would have told them off before leaving.
  13. I liked the first couple of episodes but this has devolved into a lot of pure fantasy and it’s just too much. I don’t think we need endless repetition of the swans image, we get it. They also seemed to struggle to find a way for the non Babe swans to appear in each episode. I would rather have heard more about Truman before the big feud and less about imaginary conversations and scenes.
  14. Garrick reminds me of Joel Osteen and gives me the creeps just as much. Dannielle is either not too bright or has such low self esteem she is willing to suffer through another Brazilian bombshell! When Nick and his harem were buying the baby a birthday gift they picked the cheapest doll that looked like it came from a dollar store. I think it would be confusing for the little girl to call all three moms the same name and not know which one is her real mom. And no way would I be able share a bed with three or more people; I move around too much and couldn’t stand not being able to turn.
  15. I find it hard to judge these since I can’t imagine a wall of wine in my house. The twins have a tendency to make everything look cheap and tacky. I think they would be good for a small beach getaway but not in these expensive homes. I liked the grocery lift and the elevator. I didn’t care for the table attached to the kitchen counter or the plaster art pieces in the one dining room. I think the right team won.
