  1. Being a hit in its time doesn't make something not obscure. The same with Kate Bush last year with Stranger Things. A lot of people know it, sure. But, it's not a song that the general population knows or remembers. Millions of people can be into something but it still be obscure due to how many people are out there. I have no problem with these characters having reverence for it though. It's not really worth pointing out imo. I hate how people can be with source material. Adaptations are never meant to be 1 to 1 copies of the source. If they don't deviate, what exactly is the point? It only bothers at times when it's just the framework of a story taken and the rest is thrown away. Then, I might ask what is the point? It could be any story at that point. The show This is Us faced the same issue I can see this show having. What's the point of this? This show is about the main characters? I don't know these people! Get back to the plot! Along with me being cool with whatever show people want to make instead of dictating what they should do, thr bigger thing is that this whole world is about much more than two people. There should be room to explore the world. The characters around it. It won't always be like this. But, it's like the cold opens we've been getting but expanding a bit. I get what I will be getting with a show like this. Having a beautiful story within it is a plus for me. This episode didn't wreck me or anything. Got me in the feels but that was about it. It was sweet. For me, nothing wrong with that.
  2. Actually, one gay man wanted to preserve those things. One gay man did not care about any of that and just wanted to survive. I'm sure there are plenty of people of all genders, races and creeds in the pit and doing the killing. Frank simply wanted to preserve some sense of normalcy inside of their community. He longed for connection to others and community outside of themselves. Bill found his person. That's all he needed. That would or could happen to any couple in this situation.
  3. Nothing is stopping them from talking. They have phones. I'm also talking about a larger issue of some these people not really taling this seriously or dragging out decisions they've already made. At least, Chris and Nicole seem to be open and taking this seriously from the jump.
  4. Everyone has their own journey. If the person feels comfortable, it's good to get those experiences out there. Let people know they are not alone. A lot of people have serious issues with abandonment, insecurities and depression that others prey on. We probably would have a lot more scumbags off the streets or off of them earlier if people felt more open to report assaults and abuse without the fear of judgment, ridicule or violence as a result. I'm glad she felt free to express herself without judgment and that she felt like she had a safe space to do so. I always question why some of these dumbssses live with someone for 8 weeks and still say I don't know you, I don't understand you, we still need to learn about each other. They have nothing but time. TALK. Even the hard stuff.
  5. Come on. We need more people actually watching the show. It's just another trash reality show. I don't feel bad about watching it. Nothing wrong with a little trash tv. I watch a whole bunch of things. For different reasons. This episode was oddly paced to me. Not much happened in the first. They took so damn long to get through the secrets. It made me appreciate the art of the reality show montage. Speed up the wall part and the reveals. We spent almost the same amount of time on all the people. Complete with fallout from one of the secrets. By the way, I guarantee you that was not Keli's biggest secret. She was smart enough to know they were going to have to say which secret was theirs. Then the end got swallowed up by Kelli drama. Kelli was not wrong but she didn't have to do it that way. She is very aware of what will get you camera time.
  6. The rebels are not trying to make a cure. They are rebels. Ellie was supposed to go to those people on the outside who could get her to the people trying to make a cure. Those were her trusted people now. They are all gone. They literally said in this episode that the infected have a varying lifespan. It's not something obviously known because how would they know. Yes, there are variants. I did not play the game. None of this was confusing to me. No judgment. All of these answers will be doled out over time. It's a series. I'm just enjoying the ride and learning as I go.
  7. I'm glad they did remove Tess. I love Torv and I was enjoying the character. It's not that. But, I could see them not having the guts to make that move because it would upset people killing off a female lead. I don't want my stories pulling punches for stuff like that. Tell the story you envisioned. Don't worry about complaints. They will always be there. She will be missed though. I'm enjoying this journey. There is just enough world building, character interaction and action to keep things moving smoothly.
  8. I'm not trying to hear Yara trying to speak English for nearly 8 hours.
  9. Damn. Tell us how you really feel. I think Nicole is cute but not of the gorgeous variety. It doesn't mean she's unattractive imo, just not of the I'm knocked out by her beauty type. I think all the women are attractive this season but there is just something about all of them that can be a bit distracting to me. Especially when they smile.
  10. He also has to live with them. Money Smoney. That's alot.
  11. They seem to never want people with kids. In my opinion, they shouldn't take someone with pets either. Especially, if we are talking about these current day, I'm a dog parent/this is my furbaby types. It's too much and often unnecessary drama. I'm not saying I want kids in this. But, this is my child types need to be excluded imo. 4 dogs and a breeder. Hell no. Even if you love dogs, that's too much to put on someone out the gate. That amount should be acquired together with a partner.
  12. I'm not giving him props personally. There is a middle ground that he misses. I get just as annoyed with his yelling and cursing as I do with Angela's. You can be calm or calmer but not be a pushover. It just gets tiresome after a while. He also comes off as controlling as well. He's not the worst. I just can't stand his overall demeanor. As bad as Libbys family can be, he is no help. Someone has to be a cooler head at times and it's never him.
  13. They are not doing a winners edit on anyone. That was clear when Nelson went out. There is no wonky editing. They are just playing it straight.
  14. That's what I'm saying. For many these days, it is a style choice for men (and women). But, it's also very natural for a lot of men to lose their hair. Some earlier than others. So, where does this objection end? I've never really liked women with short hair styles as a preference. But, I would not make a big deal about it going on this show because I've realized over time that it's how you wear it. Does it work for the individual? Far too many attractive women with short hair cuts or even bald in some cases for me to make a huge deal about it.
  15. They never show all the gifts. Why I don't know. So many women being triggered by bald heads is such an odd thing to me. I've never ever heard any woman have a problem with bald heads in my real life. Only on this show. I know we all have preferences. There is nothing wrong with that. In my opinion, a man with a bald head is as basic as it comes. A lot of the time, it's just a choice at this point. Not something they have to do. If you are that tightly wound about physical characteristics, this is not the show for you.
  16. Shouldn't you be team Shaq then? I feel terrible. I really do but Nicole's mom. If your parents are supposed to be a window into how you will age, yikes. I never watch the dress/tuxedo crap. Not here, love is blind or anything. Waste of my time. Do the damn dresses during the first episode. This should be all wedding. We should be honeymoon bound next week. I wish mafs was made for streaming. They would not get all of these episodes.
  17. Let the story die. It's over. No reason to bring this plot thread back at all. Greg has never been a major character and there is nothing to gain at this point. Tanya is gone. The story is dead.
  18. "I totally fell for the misdirect that Jennifer Coolidge would be back next season. I'll never believe anything Mike White says ever again." I don't like that people feel entitled to answers from actors and the creators. They are trying to tell the story. They do not want to ruin the story. They have to lie because people insist spoiling things for themselves all the time. I don't blame showrunners, actors, trailer editors or anyone for trying preserve their plot as much as they can. Tanya can kick rocks. You can't keep that character around over and over. Start completely fresh next time. Albie is such an idiot. At least got great sex for the better part of week. Not worth 50k bit his father was right. It's not his money so it's easy for him to throw it away.
  19. It's always going to be an either or situation. The sooner they both realize that, the happier we all will be.
  20. I literally stopped the discussion and pivoted the conversation already. It's all good. The redundant nature of this season in particular has reminded why i ducked on this franchise for years. They need shorter episodes or a shorter season for real.
  21. Yes. It's a gold chain. You see it a lot less during the day but of course. People complain about her every single week. Every week. Most of the characters can be annoying but most characters here are also more balanced out than Ava is. Ava will always be Ava. Shes more fun to me when thry dont lean on the cruelty as much.
  22. You can stop responding now. Moving on. Have a good one. I must say I agree with everyone who says they keep so much of this show on fast forward. I find Angela yelling, Andrei yelling, Sumit and Jenny having the same issue every week, the constant Bilal drama and Ed's main squeeze being so dour most of the time very tiring. But, it does help make the show fly by. I'm remaining surprised that really do think Usman loves Kim. He manipulates too much or hides facts but I think his feelings are real.
  23. I'm not trying to pressure anything. All I have been trying to say this entire time is, the response of wow its a PS5 big whoop or Usman is treating Jamal like a child with this gift is missing how many adults have and want the system. Also, the huge demand for them. They were a hot ticket item for a long time. Not just when it rolled out in 2020. Just as recently as last month, Sony reported that a chip shortage is causing the PS5 to be out of stock at many places. There has always been problems fully keeping them in stock even though it's much much better now. It was a cool gift given the circumstances and Jamal's reaction, imo, was appropriate given the circumstances. I have zero interest in a video game system at this point and I would be hyped.
  24. I said depending on the time of filming. For months, when it came out, they were tough the get. I know what I'm talking about. I work for FedEx. I remember the demand. It went for a while with people stealing and selling. Warehouses freaking out over all the orders. It's still in demand but it takes a while for inventory to catch up with demand in the early going for really popular stuff. And sure middle class can afford it in theory. Depending on what else you have going on, you may not be able to. It cost over 500 dollars for just the system. It is not cheap. This was a big get and most people, especially in the son's age range, would be thrilled period.
