I just started watching when I remembered today that it was a thing. This show makes me miss Wipeout. No seriously. I think the summer needs a weird frothy competition show. I would also accept American Gladiators. I didn't realize how much I liked this type of show; I might keep watching. There are a number of things that would make this better like better match ups, funner games, fairer scoring for events.

Yes, I would want them shot after the team figures out what happened to the real Gardner sisters and save them. Blow the widows away, send Tucker up the river and move onto the next revenant/demon challenge. That's at least 2 more episodes of content after the gun glows. It's not like there are a limited number of other challenges in the Ghost River Triangle. This one story doesn't have to last the season, especially when they have to make characters less good at their jobs and less smart in order to do it.

If you think the Gardner sisters are related to the Black Widows, why not point Peacemaker at them to make sure they are not the demons? If they were it would glow, right? If there is only one other guy who might be the baby's father why not just have Doc's DNA tested? If it's not him then it has to be the other guy... I have a hard time continuing to love all the things I love about this show when major parts of the story have the structural integrity of Swiss cheese.

Overhyped. It was a good episode, I enjoyed it. but the cast and crew had been hyping the hell out of it to a degree that was not warranted. Again, very impressed that they kept the secret that the lead actress had a baby for 6 months. How even? But the Wynonna is pregnant reveal was okay at best. Especially since I had been thinking about the show in my spare time (as one does) and realizing that if something happened to Wynonna it would be the (presumed) end of the Earp line and the curse would never end, revenants would roam the Ghost River Triangle forever, etc.

Featuring my favorite 80's trope, the training montage of people sucking and improving. Breeds hope and all that...

I am, in fact, a black lady and this is what I came here to say. He did some dirty and he is a bad person. But I bristle at the ratio of references to Cosby's misdeeds versus Polanski or Woody Allen, both of whom continue to get work. People go after Cosby in pop culture more and with more certainty. And it makes me feel some kind of way that he seems like an easier target.

Didn't watch the first season but I'm looking forward to this. I have been waiting for years for Elodie Yung to have a role in an American production that was worth watching. Just me? Okay then...

No one has said it but this feels like the place. Adele's cellist during "Hello" was giving me life. She seemed to be enjoying herself so much. You could just see the thought bubble above her head: "I'm on stage with fucking Adele. This is livin'. L-I-V-I-N." She's basically my hero.

This has been sticking in my craw all day. I realize that it's partly that I have lived something of an unwanted celebrity experience in my own career and also because I love Frances McDormand. I struggle with people's interpretation of her demeanor last night. I think being subject to our interpretation is part of what she is rebelling against. And it is an intentional rebellion. In reviewing Frances McDormand's awards appearances she has always been dry and thoughtful rather than breathless and simple. I really appreciate that about her and her acts of resistance. Also, she is pretty funny sometimes as evidenced here: https://youtu.be/EtLPPda-meE. Now I'll be in my corner watching my VHS of Laurel Canyon and being a Stan.

Absolutely. I am referring to the weekly podcast hosted by the creators of this very site. I am not a crackpot is defined here as "perfectly sensible opinions the world has yet to embrace for some stupid, misguided reason." They are doing a full episode of "I am not a crackpot" submissions while the usual team is on a hiatus.

Anyone planning to participate in the I Am Not A Crackpot extravaganza on the podcast? I think our speculation here is ripe for the picking. Also, I feel that if we don't keep the issue alive the forces for bad(television writing) win.

I get why they have to equivocate, because they are journalists and not professional speculators but I thought that their argument about Archie Panjabi not necessarily being blameless was weak. But maybe I've done too much research to be convinced. That said, I appreciate their critique of the awful splitscreen debacle and the impact Kaliciagate had on the show.

Oh, I don't disagree with you. I was just arguing that JM's lack of regard for her colleagues played out in particularly harsh way when it came to AP. I think that the last two seasons on the set probably were frought with JM, as actor/producer, throwing her weight around. I posted a little while ago about how she said of Josh Charles in an interview with the LA Times last year that "It can be frustrating for an ensemble player when you're on a show that is mainly about one character." It's such a condescending "haterz gon' hate" thing to say in the press that I don't doubt it would be evident in how the actors interacted. I think you can probably see this attitude play out in the storylines in season 6; none of the "ensemble players" has much to do with "one character".
