Are they putting the cue cards in a new spot, cuz today I noticed EVERYBODY reading them. Even JE. Usually I only notice Maurice, cuz he gives zero fucks about the fact that he is reading cue cards and doesn't try to disguise it. I swear even the baby was looking at them today.
As an addict, Finn's detox is beyond laughable. Um, if he was able to get into the shower and then switch into a comfy robe, then he probably could have gotten undressed BEFORE the shower, but I guess that wouldn't have been as dramatic or moist or something. I would think as a doctor, he would be aware that something called medical detox exists which could make it much easier on him, but duct taping himself to a chair is good too. EYEROLL
Last week Sonny offered his Problem Disappearing Services to Dante, this week he offers them to the infant Scout as Jason & Sam look on affectionately. So sweet.

I just can't find anything very exciting about a season where the players know each other so well AND have so many outside relationships AND are so comfortable with Jeff that they casually get up and start having all kinds of conversations about the vote, like they are at a freaking cocktail party or something.
In the opening episode when they walked down very well made pathways to their perfect beach sites, I had a feeling this season was going to be too much Club Med and too little Survivor.

Adam spent forever following Jessa around like a lovesick puppy to the point of stalking her to AA meetings. So now that he's won her over and they appear to be living together, it's a great time to start stalking Hannah and making inappropriate protestations that she is not over him. Dude, fucking sort yourself out! Go on walkabout or find your spirit animal or something.

I am watching the first season thanks to you guys reviews. This show looks like it is modeled after a UK show called "999 What's Your Emergency." Which follows medical, fire and police from initial emergency call to final result. They even interview the people that were arrested or taken to hospital or that got injured afterwards. And it's nice to have the call center interactions too. There is a lot of humor, and the medical and police are such good blokes dealing with all the homeless and mentally ill (and drunk people). I've cried on several episodes at their kind empathy. Plus in the UK - no gross gun shot wounds! I really prefer the UK series, and it's definitely worth a watch if you liked the first season of this show.

Uh, wow, shortest custody hearing ever. The judge literally deliberated for like 30 seconds. Also shortest person-stuck-to-a-bomb scare. And for that matter, shortest crazy-murderer-is-on-the-loose plot. Good thing Sam got the hell out the way at the bottom of that bridge or she would have been pummeled with more bodies.
This was a weird week of GH. It's like they were trying to hurry up and resolve every single ongoing plotline RIGHT NOW after torturing us with the set ups for months and months. And months. Same like they did with the Nell thing.

PS. If Carrie gets Max (who I guess is ALSO in love with her, cuz, I mean, what man isn't) killed, I will cut a bitch!!

That's the only reason any of this is dismaying to me. I mean, I watch General Hospital for fucks sake, so I can take a soap opera. But this show was suppose to be more about feminism and written by a feminist, so if it ends up with Hannah needing to get pregnant to grow up and get it together and then getting back together with her "prince" ...da fuck?!

I really hope more counseling is involved than the single session we are shown that is often late in the game. If someone has been using food as a coping mechanism for decades, especially if they are self-medicating a history of abuse or trauma, then telling them to eat a 1200 calorie diet is essentially ripping their coping mechanism away from them and they are going to need help with that.
One thing I learned being around trauma survivors is that it's just not fair to judge another person's resilliency. Some people seem to bounce out of the most horrific situations and go on to happy, productive lives, and some, no matter how hard they try, are just too damaged and broken. People are different and respond to things differently. Just in my own family, the difference between the way my siblings came out is remarkable.

I adore Ray, but I can't feel too sorry for him re: Marnie. I have a lot of "nice guy" friends myself, and most of them (much to my eternal frustration) will pass right by high quality "nice girls" that would really care for them and go straight for the girls that will make them miserable ...so long as that girl is prettier. I don't think Ray would have gotten all moony over Marnie if she wasn't hot. I know it's a man thing, and often a woman thing too, but, I wish it wasn't. Props to Ray for coming to his senses.

Damn. I liked her. She was as capable as Carrie without the crazy or quivering lip. Quinn would've been better off with her. I was hoping he'd share what he knows, and those two could be the heroes. But off course they had to clear the road back to Carrie.
The show reached Jack Bauer levels of absurdity with Quinn rising out of the water (not even breathing heavy!). I knew he would, but c'mon now. It's not like he's kept up top physical conditioning of late. And the whole "hitman thinks you're dead in the water but really you're holding your breath for a super long time" is way too cliche at this point. If I was a hitman, I'd wait a full 10 minutes, walk off, but hide and watch to make sure my target wasn't David Blaine or something. Surely the hitman has seen Alias or Bourne Identity or other such shows. Having said that, I'm quite happy that Quinn remains unkillable. And it better stay that way!
As for Carrie losing Franny and her "all I hear is unfit mother, unfit mother!!" meltdown. Wow, still ALL ABOUT YOU CARRIE. That's our girl.

Next up, Adam comes to the it's-only-been-obvious-since-the-beginning-of-time realization that Jessa is vapid and shallow, while falling in love with complicated Hannah all over again via the film. Meanwhile, Hannah is redeemed, matured and gets her life together because unprotected, booze-black-out sex really changes a person. We know she will be a super mother, cuz when her own mom was heavily drugged, distraught and missing, Hannah stepped right into the motherly role to find her, only stopping for ice cream once.
Jesus wept.

My heart just always goes out to everyone in these shows. I was molested when young and I'm just as bad as Tanisha. I got obese by 5th grade, but then in high school discovered bulimia and anorexia, and then cutting and alcohol. So I became a skinny drunk instead. And stayed that way for 30 years. Nobody cared cuz I still looked good. When I finally got sober, guess what? The eating disorders came back! So it's not easy folks. I've been in therapy pretty much my whole life. And I am a very self-aware, introspective, contemplative, high-functioning person. I think your brain gets physically changed when these things happen in youth. It's a tough fight.
As for shame, when you are violated in certain ways, you kind of become accustomed to, or frozen, about being shamed. So, it doesn't shock me that these women let themselves be filmed this way.

The opening credits look like a female hand to me. But maybe he is just well lotioned and supple.
I could do without so much of the 60's-70's prog music. I mean, pottery is groovy and all, but don't they have some other CD's?!
I love the UK competition shows. Just genial artistry among generally nice folks, without all the fake drama and judges shouting.

I hate to say it, but this show almost has to end soon. I mean, there can only be so many major crises, political conspiracies, terrorist plots wherein only Saul/Carrie and sometimes Quinn figure out and save the day. Quinn can only be kidnapped and beat down so many times. Carrie can only get so many men killed. (RIP Nurse Jackie's husband!) After what Franny is going through this season, I can't imagine Carrie going back to active service, so how many more ways can they contrive to bring the action to her.
Having said that, I would totally watch a spin-off about Quinn.

If Hannah ends up finding redemption and maturity via having a baby, I will cut a bitch! I mean, Rachel did it on Friends for fucks sake! I know this can't possibly be LD's endgame, but if it is, I will be so disappointed.

Totally wanted Griffin to break out with some swager and a Scottish brogue. Maybe he still will. It would give the actor the chance to do something besides be a very pretty slice of white bread. They could very well go through with Duke's spirit inhabiting Griffin. I mean, we have had vampires, aliens, weather machines and untold peoples brought back from the dead!

Jesus God, what a dud reveal. And after all this time. Seriously, they couldn't just give us a couple days of screaming and throwing glassware before they started in with hours of tepid explanation while Sonny nods off like he's watching PBS and Mikey puts on his "dadgummit with me and the females" sad panda face. Ugh!
In other news, I just don't think I will ever warm to BM as Jason. Love him or hate him, SBu made the character unique. He WAS stone cold and those moments he did allow a smile or a little tenderness really meant something. Now, he's just a dude.

Is it me, or has Wendy only been covering a couple items in hot topics lately. She used pack a lot of items in and really move it along and even run out of time. But now it's 3 or so topics and she really stretches them out, randomly chatting with Suzanne or Norman or cutting to the audience or telling how much she doesn't really care. I don't get it cuz there is plenty of celeb stuff to talk about. Maybe it's just less for her to have to remember.
Also, cannot believe she said of the Oscars accountant that he made a mistake and should be fired! Girl, you make egregious mistakes just about every single day! (PS. I don't personally have an opinion on whether he should be fired.)

I've never been pregnant, does it render you unable to shout "Yo, down here babe!"?
Sooo, Carly's off to prove Bobbi wrong by confronting.... Nell! Ha, yeah, she knows looking Sonny in the eyes and asking for the truth is pretty much pointless!

Um, I wasn't paying super close attention, because, well, who can, but did Sam call OJ a crazy bitch? Sam that is not Hostage 101! You have been kidnapped enough times to know. When OJ was bloviating about Duke, Sam should have countered with "Hey I SCUBA'd to try to find my dead husband, so I get it."

Anybody watching Special Forces Ultimte Hell Week? It's a BBC show. It's in its second season right now, but the first season was much more awesome. It featured one of the officers from this Selection show, but he had a much different personality then --more hard core, and flat out said he did not approve of women being there! And he yelled so much he lost his freaking voice by the end of his episode! It was so hard core and not scripted. Tons of people were actually injured and it seemed most of the cast was removed by medics. I am watching second season, but it's a basket of kittens compared to the first!

WTF of the day, Bobbie to Carly:
"Oh hey, I just dropped by to say hi and thought I'd go into your office, rifle through your mail and throw out shit that looked unimportant."

S06.E07: The Bounce
in Girls [V]
I really hope we haven't started a parade of happy endings, reunions, redemptions and closures. I thought Girls was messier than that. I could watch Friends or any Disney princess movie for that kind of bullshit.
