  1. I agree, I don't want any of them to die, either. I was really enjoying going from 4 original main female characters in the adult timeline to 6 this season, and I thought there was still stuff left to mine from their dynamic now that they've reunited and are actually talking about things, so I'll be really disappointed if that happens. At least it will make the thousand-year wait until season 3 less excruciating, lol. (That said, if one of them does die, I agree that it makes storytelling sense for it to be Natalie. :/)
  2. I don't know. To me, the "truly terrible" award goes to Saskia for those few episodes in which she went full-on dictator. What the teacher did to her was awful, but it does not justify shoving Teresa's severed toe into Renee's mouth as punishment (WTF!!!) I was on Zoe's side since the beginning, when everyone blamed her for not telling them about the Pocco (heh) when all she did upon setting foot at the reunion was try to tell them that there was something weird going on but no one listened because they were too busy making fun of her. That was actually hard to watch because of how frustrating it was. And the show seemed to lean into it for the lols as the episodes progressed, like "Oh, this is obviously Zoe's fault, too!" all the while Saskia was out there starving people out for not doing their hair properly. Just didn't sit well with me. The "Forgettable Laura" jokes also got old pretty fast. I'll probably watch a season 2 if there is one because I'm in love with Genevieve (she's the exact brand of neurotic, dorky character I tend to fall for), but there were a lot of frustrating things that kept me from truly enjoying this, which is a shame because I was really looking forward to it.
  3. What was Evil Tai in the Mirror mouthing to Our Tai? I can't read lips, and there was no CC.
  4. Interesting how everyone immediately caught on to the fact that David 1) was a pedophile and 2) was about to rape Ellie. When he said that about how the struggle was his favourite part, or something to that effect, my mind immediately went to "Oh so he was a serial killer."
  5. Sexual orientation doesn't stop existing just because the world ended, though, just like I imagine there are still left-handed people in the TLOU world. And that's one of the great things about this show, for me. The fact that one of the two protagonists of this story, and the one on whose shoulders hinges saving the entire world, is a young gay girl. It might be irrelevant to her world-saving mission, perhaps, but it's still a part of her, just like being gay is a part of me. Growing up, I never would have imagined that I would get to see a story like this on TV, see myself in the protagonist of a TV show (especially one that isn't LGBTQ-themed like, say, The L Word), and while that has certainly gotten better in recent times, there's still a way to go, so to me Ellie being gay is incredibly important, and I appreciate the show making it clear that that's exactly what it is (just like when Tess asks her if they have to worry about a boyfriend coming for her way back in episode 2 and Ellie replies with a pointed "NOPE." At the time it seemed like nothing, but going back to it knowing what we know now makes her reply that much more deliberate, and I love that). On another note, I'm cool with the way things turned out between Ellie and Riley towards the end being left to the imagination. I have seen my fair share of one half of a f/f couple being killed off after experiencing a brief moment of bliss to last me a lifetime. Instead, I appreciated that the last image we have of Ellie and Riley together is them holding each other, resigned to their fate and absolutely terrified of what's to come, but staying together because to them there is no other option. @Danny Franks if I could like your post 457898 times, I would.
  6. Exactly. This is why some of the comments about Grace being a doormat don't sit well with me. If it was so easy for a woman to leave her husband when he became controlling/abusive, domestic abuse wouldn't be the issue that it is. I also completely believe Eva staying quiet for 10 years about the rape. We've seen recently with real-life cases that it's not uncommon for rape victims to stay quiet for years. It's hard enough for women to disclose having been raped when it's a complete stranger or someone they personally like. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for Eva to think about telling Grace what JP had done and risk her not believing her or taking his side. If I were Eva, that would have killed me. Anyway, I just finished this show and absolutely loved it. I am a big fan of the multiple-sister show genre, though so far I have only encountered it in non-English television, so I really liked that aspect of it. Every single scene between the sisters was thoroughly enjoyable, the actresses all played off each other really well. And of course, the big denouement of JP's death was as satisfying as I was hoping it would be. Kudos to the actor for making him such a despicable human being to the point that it caused me almost physical revulsion every time he did something prick-ish. Re: the fact that he was too one-note or too villainous to be believable, I 100% believe men like him exist: extremely charming to ensure they have they people they need wrapped around their fingers but also capable of tremendous harm, with zero empathy or concern for others' feelings except their own. It's why he creates such a visceral reaction in some of us. He's not a moustache-twirling Marvel villain whose ultimate goal is to take over the world, he could literally be the person your sister marries and whom you have to be civil to at family reunions, and therein lies the true horror of fictional characters like him IMO. This show also made me realize that the sisters (and Nora) were infinitely better people than I am because I could not ever bring myself to be cordial to a man like him, even if he was married to my sister whom I love. It just goes to show how much they loved Grace that they were willing to put in that level of effort (especially Eva) to make sure she didn't feel uncomfortable every time they got the family together. I heard the news of the renewal before finishing the show, so I thought perhaps it ended in a cliffhanger that justified a second season, but nope, everything was tied up as if it was indeed planned out as a limited series, so I can't imagine what a season 2 could possibly be about, but I am 100% there. I would watch 10 episodes of the 5 sisters sitting around Eva's kitchen drinking wine, tbh.
  7. I kept waiting for the reveal (probably via flashback) that Jen had named her daughter Joey because Jo was Judy's favourite character on The Facts of Life. That would have been cute and less on-the-nose than naming her Judy.
  8. I watched this show having only read the first book easily 15 years ago (so basically remembering nothing) precisely because I liked what I remembered of the concept and having the story told to me in TV show format was easier than reading it, and I absolutely loved the whole series. I didn't need any extra context to understand things better, and, having just finished watching this episode, this one and the previous one might be my favourites from the amount of emotion they made me feel. I was still reeling from Mrs Coulter's death like two days after watching the episode, and Lyra and Will slowly having to come to terms in this episode with the fact that they would have to be apart for the rest of their lives packed more than a punch than I thought it would for me considering that I had previously enjoyed them more as BFFs. Of course, 90% of that was the actors absolutely NAILING it, but it also rings true for me that whole thing where you "flick a switch" and suddenly you realize that someone who was just your friend is the only person you can see yourself with, so I didn't have a problem with the abruptness of the change in the nature of their relationship (also, as others have said, there were hints to that in earlier episodes). I was also super happy that Mary's great love that changed everything for Lyra and Will was a woman. I had been secretly hoping she'd be gay since we met her in season 2, so I'll take it!
  9. Totally. I thought it was really cool trope subversion to have her decide against the typical "great opportunity you can't pass by" plot device for reasons that don't get much airtime in these situations. The writing always frames it as "your family and friends are always gonna be there but if you don't do X, you will regret it." If the character does end up staying, it's to get together with their love interest. To have the writing prioritize spending time with family over academic advancement was really lovely and relatable. It was super dusty in my room for that last scene between Nalini and Devi. 😢 Agreed. I've never been a fan of "too dumb to function for comic relief characters," especially when they're paired up romantically with characters who seem to have more depth (not that Eleanor isn't comic relief a lot of the time, but that relationship also doesn't make sense to me). Trent doesn't exasperate me as much as Jason Mendoza did on The Good Place, and he certainly has some funny/insightful one-liners every so often, but a Trent-centric episode would be a smidge too far for me.
  10. Same. She seemed very content in that newfound friendship ("Shall we go find seats?" and her expression when Rhyah pulled out something for her to snack on, like it was the first time someone was looking out for her since Mohan). I don't understand, Kamala goes whole ass episodes without appearing and she still gets a love interest that in all likelihood will stick around. Why can't Nalini, arguably one of the show's central characters (being Devi's mom), be given the same courtesy? It just sucks because it retroactively tarnishes their entire friendship, since now we know that, apparently, Rhyah wasn't being genuine or didn't see Nalini as a real friend or whatever from the beginning. That said, I loved the final Nalini/Devi scene (and Nalini sticking up for Devi with Rhyah earlier, plus Devi's shocked expression, like that was the last thing she was expecting 🥺). Those two are the main reason why I watch this show. Their evolution since season 1 has been a joy to watch. There was something very Joey/Chandler-esque about Paxton and Trent's dynamic this episode, and it made me smile.
  11. This is my problem with this sudden plot twist. I didn't think she was supposed to be an antagonist. I thought she had been genuinely introduced to give Nalini a female friends since we've seen all the way since season 1 how lonely she is without Mohan. I also thought it fit well within this very female-driven show to randomly establish a close female friendship for the sake of it. But nope, it's all most likely going to be a plot device. What a disappointment, honestly.
  12. I was being facetious. I just think it would be nice for the show to have a lesbian character because I am one and like to see myself represented. Evil is actually one of the few shows I watch with no lesbian characters, which is fine, not everything I watch has to have them, but sometimes it does feel like something is missing, for me, and it would be cool if it did. That's all. As for what does that have to do with wanting be a nun, you would have to ask the poster I quoted, who was the first one to make the connection. What I reacted to was Lynn's comment about her friends only wanting to talk about boys, implying it wasn't something she wanted to do. I didn't say it was something the 4Ls should aspire to be. I said that, if that's how girls like them are at that age, then they should be allowed to be like that instead of being constantly criticized for it, the way some fans of the show and Sister Andrea do/did. Like I said, boys are 10 times worse at that age and it's always just "Boys will be boys."
  13. Damn, KH is just fantastic at the heart-wrenching stuff. From Kristen's near-hysterical confession to David in last season's finale to her reaction to being told the fake news about Andy (from the moment she saw someone other than him appear in the video call) to her tearful joy at seeing him again, she never fails to rip my heart into shreads. I just love watching her. I never got the impression throughout the series that the show was going for a "Chosen One"-type storyline with Kristen (with Lexis, yeah, maybe). He is probably after it because it is a sibling to Lexis, the previous Chosen One, whom he has realized things aren't going to work out with. Also because it comes from RSM, which has spawned its fair share of demonic children with no input from Kristen. I thought exactly the same thing when she said that all her friends wanted to talk about was boys or something like that. 👀 I definitely would prefer this turn of events to a "Lynn suddenly feels a calling to the church" because the show could use more lesbian content (and no, Kristen and her nun girlfriend Fenna don't count 😜). Even though I'm a card-carrying member of the "going to hell for still shipping Kristen and David" club, I thought the Bouchard marriage reunion was lovely. I 100% believed Kristen when she said she loved him. It's nice that the show is not going for an awkward love triangle thing with them and is letting them be genuinely in love and happy. Though I feel bad about what is ahead for Andy before someone catches on/he suddenly remembers what happened to him. I was disappointed by Sister Andrea, a character we are supposed to side with, toeing the party line, as it were, with the whole "That is not how young ladies behave!" wrt Kristen's daughters. Fuck that! Young ladies should be allowed to be loud and obnoxious, the way boys are allowed to be and the way the show allows the 4Ls to be. Anything else is just, as Kristen would say, patriarchal bullshit. That said, the best part of that scene was Laura deadpanning "Mirabella" when Kristen was introducing them to Sister Andrea by name, and her sisters' wordless "WTF" reactions. I love those girls.
  14. Completely agree. I was really expecting him to die, basically sacrificing himself for his daughter and grandchild, to signal the end of an era and sort of baton-passing for next season. I was so disappointed when I saw that the one who died was Karen, which meant he was almost guaranteed to survive. I was reading the post-episode interview with SVS, and I find it irritating how, whenever showrunners want to kill off a character for the "emotional impact," it's always a female character who gets sacrificed, especially in this case because, as you said, Karen was finally starting to come into her own identity separate from being Ed's (ex-)wife. I'm also probably the only one who was really disappointed they kept Pam as Ellen's endgame. I just don't understand how I am expected to root for them as a couple when we have been given nothing as to who Pam is and why exactly she is "the love of [Ellen's] life." After she walked away from Ellen in s2, I was really hoping they would give her a new love interest with whom she had a bit more spark. Their scenes together this season just fell completely flat for me. Oh well, as far as lesbian characters go, at least Ellen got a happy ending.
  15. So, did anyone look up the lyrics? It was stuck in my head nonstop since the last episode, so I looked it up (at first using nothing but Google Translate and going by ear, LOL) and it goes something like "Skylark, gentle skylark, I will rip off your head [...] I will rip off your beak [...] I will rip off your neck," etc. And it's apparently a children's song. 😂 Very fitting for this show.
  16. "What if... there are Jews in our basement?" I also cracked up at Laura's "WHOAAA... we're not supposed to say ["shut up"]!" They were on fire this episode. 😆
  17. Ah, there we go. Thanks, I completely read that wrong, LOL. I don't have any casting ideas, but given how well they did with the adult and teenage versions of the 4 leads, I have full confidence in their interpretation of adult Lottie. Well IMO there's now the new question of who the present-day cult people are and if Lottie really is connected to them (the fact that we heard her name in the present over the sequence of Natalie's kidnapping doesn't really prove much), and there's still the question of who killed Travis (again, not confirmed it was Lottie even though it looks that way, could be another red herring) and what Natalie was "right" about. Again, I don't particularly care if they take forever to answer this or if they end up buying too much into their own hype and dragging out the reveals until they have to tie up all the loose ends in the series finale, but in this respect the show does definitely give Lost vibes in terms of creating its own mythology that can span several seasons (which, again, to me is not a bad thing at all but I can see others getting frustrated if these things are still not "answered" by mid to late season 2, for example). I really hope you're right. What worries me was Tai's face when she was announced as the winner, almost like she was satisfied that her altar/sacrifice worked (as some others have speculated upthread). This would imply she on some level knows what she's doing and there was some intentionality on her part, which is what unsettled me about the reveal.
  18. I am clearly very easy to please because, while I was already sufficiently hooked on this show, I am IN after this episode. I don't even care if the writers have a plan or not (I was one of the 5 people who liked the ending of Lost for what it was and never got mad because we "never got any answers" or whatever), I am here for the duration. Ritualistic cannibalism? Sure. Present-day cult? Why not. Lottie being alive and emerging as the new big bad? Heck yes! And re: casting ideas for the adult version, I read her as Hispanic so I'm kinda hoping they do go in that direction (although I'm terrible at identifying people from my own ethnicity, so what do I know, LOL). The only false note for me was the creepy altar in Tai's basement. I really hope it's a red herring because dammit, show! She's my favourite, and while I'm not one of those people who can tolerate rape and murder on TV shows but draw the line at animal deaths, beheading the family dog as some sort of weird sacrifice to The Cult Symbol is a bridge too far for me. And it's also gonna take me a while to get over the show completely torpedoing the hottest married lesbian couple on TV since Stef and Lena on The Fosters. I did shake my head at Simone just casually crawling into that vent to explore like it was NBD. I know characters on TV are built differently and have a much higher propension to walking through dark hallways toward a weird noise instead of running in the opposite direction but woman... I'm sure there's people you can call that can take care of your "blood in the basement vent" problem? I've been thinking the same thing for a while. It feels like teenage Misty and adult Misty are two completely different people, to the point that I think the adult version of SH's teenage Misty would be wildly different from CR's adult Misty and viceversa, if that makes sense. It's not a deal-breaker for me or anything, it's just baffling sometimes when seeing all the antics adult Misty gets up to because I can't for the life of me figure out when teenage Misty's life would have veered in that direction based on what we have seen so far. And on that note, I was a bit disappointed they had her cross over all the way to murder for murder's sake with Jessica. I was kinda hoping that, for all her sadistic and slightly sociopathic tendencies, that wouldn't be something within the scope of her character. The contrast would have made her more interesting.
  19. Not to be mean, but I was kinda disappointed in Van's death scene. It just didn't pack the emotional punch for me that I thought it would. It felt tacked-on, like the writers knew this was the episode where she had to die but then got caught up in all the other stuff going on so they added a rushed minute-long scene at the end. For the longest time, I actually thought it was all a dream Tai was having while dissociating, it was that random. Anyway, RIP Van. She was very enjoyable to watch, but I hope she is indeed dead (again, not to be mean) because I really want Tai and Simone to work things out and I don't need her showing up in the finale, soap opera-style to whisk Tai away and put the final nail on her marriage's coffin. The next episode looks like a step in the right direction, with Tai finally talking about her mental issues in an attempt to protect Simone. Fingers crossed. I don't for a second buy Jeff is the blackmailer. He just doesn't seem like he has the intellectual depth for that kind of stunt. I'm fully expecting the glitter Shauna finds in her closet to be from Adam while he was hiding in there. However, regardless of how it plays out, I'm pretty sure Shauna is gonna accuse and confront the wrong person so that the reveal of the actual blackmailer comes as a shock to her (though, in that case, I do agree that her confronting Adam about being the blackmailer only for him to alibi out and her to find out it was Jeff all along would certainly be the most "shocking" option, just not one that I would buy). Misty told Jessica she was "protecting her friends," which was weirdly touching (assuming she's genuine, and I have no reason to believe she's not). However, I also believed Jessica when she said she had nothing to do with Travis's death, which means either Misty is actually not that great of a citizen detective or Jessica is a stone-cold psychopath who is even better at lying and manipulation than Misty (tough shoes to fill, tbh). Also, speaking of Misty doing weirdly touching things, was she watching the same Sandra Bullock movie in the present that Van was telling them about around the campfire that first night out in the woods? It's interesting what was mentioned upthread about young Shauna's actress mirroring adult Shauna's facial expressions and way of speaking, because I actually noticed the same thing in this episode with the actress playing young Natalie. IDK, something about her facial expressions in the scene with the truncated sex with Travis really reminded me of the way Juliette Lewis plays adult Nat and I too wondered if it might have been intentional. Tawny Cypress also has brown eyes here, probably to match the actress playing young Tai.
  20. Same. I can't put my finger on why exactly but there was something very haunting about this episode. I just realized that the reason Tai's hands were dirty as pointed out by Van was probably because she had been out eating dirt in the middle of the night, which means what Lottie saw wasn't a vision but something happening in real time. At first I thought whatever is going on with Tai (split personality?) developed after they were rescued as a sort PTSD, but it's clear this was going on for a while. Seems like my pipe dream of the show not breaking up the Tai/Simone power couple is becoming more and more distant, but at least it won't be because Simone is evil so, small wins? This also probably accounts for Tai suddenly changing her mind about abandoning the race for whatever it is she's campaigning for. Someone on another thread pointed out that there was a moment during her press conference where she looked back at Simone and Sammy and her face changed as if a switch had been flicked inside her and suddenly she changed her whole speech. I wondered if there might be something else going on there, so glad to see a (slight) follow-up on that. Still cannot figure out what Misty's game is, but something did strike me: she referred to Jessica Roberts as "a terrible person." Now, Misty might be batshit insane and many other things, but she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would say that about someone if it wasn't true. So now I'm thinking Misty in all her citizen detective glory has figured out whatever it is Jessica's real intentions are (beyond being Tai's undercover fake journalist hired to make sure no one would talk and ruin her career) and is about to start having a blast torturing the crap out of her to get her to confess. I wonder if it's so later she can bring her to the others all like, "Look! I solved it!" and get back some of that admiration from them like in the early days of the crash. The conversation they had on the phone was also weird. It almost seemed like they were in on it together at some point, or like they already knew each other, which doesn't actually make much sense. My heart breaks for poor Lottie. Characters desperately turning to religion because it's the only thing they have left to feel like they're not crazy or to alleviate some of the anguish they feel is really sad to watch. This really turns on its head the idea that she's psychotic/schizophrenic, though, because now we know her issues are not just "hearing voices" but actually having visions that end up coming true (which makes the fact that she takes those meds even sadder, too, because it also means that's the only reason her parents decided to medicate her). However, I don't think this necesarily means the show is turning towards supernatural explanations. I don't personally believe in it, but I know mediums, etc, do seem to exist, so to me the two things can still coexist without the show veering into genre territory. I chuckled when the coach said that the last thing they needed was a baby to take care of. Man, have I got some bad news for you, coach. (Speaking of, this has been bugging me from day one: did the team have two coaches (the one who died was also referred to as coach, IIRC)? Is that normal? Is the living coach the assistant coach? Why do I even care that much? LOL.)
  21. I've seen the "nun has crisis of faith and subsequently leaves the order (or however you call it) because she falls in love with a man" storyline a couple of times now in different things, and it's always bothered me because the nun is always a conventionally attractive woman, which makes me think that these storylines come from a place of discomfort with having an attractive woman in a position where she cannot be desired by the male gaze. So, if the show wants to do a gender-flipped version of this with an attractive man leaving the priesthood because he falls in love with a woman, I'm all for it. But with how much buildup there has been to David wanting to become a priest, it would unfortunately feel like a bit of a cop-out and a disservice to the character's journey. So, as an unabashed shipper, I'm torn. Make some room for me at your table, heh. Absolutely worth the wait, IMO. Life's too short not to enjoy two attractive people having the hots for each other on TV. The confession scene was absolutely FANTASTIC. The intensity of it all, the way Kristen kept getting more and more upset and, that bit where David is like, "Do you want me to get someone else?" a bit panicked just added to it because you could tell he knew that whatever she said next would not be good. What got me was Kristen fervently reciting the Act of Contrition (?). It reminded me of the exorcism scene, when she's lying on the floor and the priest says something like, "Do you accept Christ as your Lord and saviour?" and she feebly says, "I do!" It really underscores how desperate she is for forgiveness/atonement, as someone we've known from the beginning to be a staunch non-believer who is now reciting traditional Catholic prayers as if therein actually lies the key to make it all go away. It's fascinating, and KH does an amazing job with moments like that. I though Monsignor had told her on the phone to get back to the church office and let Leland do his thing. I remember because it really bothered me that he would just automatically let Leland pull rank over her. Speaking of that scene, and I know this was completely NOT the point, but the way Kristen looks at Leland right before slowly taking her shoe off? HOLY SHIT. I would have gladly been on the receiving end of a shoe-smack. *cough* Looks like I am easier to please than most, because overall I have thoroughly enjoyed this season. There are still some unaswered questions, sure, but that's par for the course for a show with an overarching mythology, and moreover, I don't think there is a show currently on air that doesn't have the annoying tendency to not reveal the answers to previously introduced mysteries. If I kept getting mad about that, I wouldn't enjoy anything. Super looking forward to next season, and I hope the fact that it took me so long to finally catch up on this show means the wait will be shorter.
  22. I just finished watching this episode for the first time (I'm slowly making my way through the show so avoiding spoilers is hard!) and I was very confused as to whether we were supposed to assume that Misty set up the nanny cam so she could later send the blackmail text while Taissa and Nat were together and watch their reactions. If she had been watching Nat for a while, she would have known she called Taissa and asked her to come, and she didn't seem surprised by the fact that they got a text at the same time but she (apparently?) didn't. I still think Misty being behind the postcards and Travis's death is a huge red herring, so I'm not sure what our takeaway was supposed to be from that revelation. I would be SO disappointed if the show ended up making Simone shady and breaking up a power couple made up of two WOCs, which is so rare to see on TV, purely for the drahhmahhz and shock value (or, worse, so we can later find out Van is alive and Taissa never got over her and they reconnect). So, I am firmly on team Simone is innocent. If she were the "lady in the tree," I feel like Sammy would have been more scared of her in the scene where they ask him about the paint. I think what happened with Lottie was her having a schizophrenic (?) episode as she must have been off her meds for weeks by then. This is actually a clever way to toe the line between making the viewer think what is happening is supernatural or grounded in reality.
  23. I just watched this episode as I make my way through season 2 for the first time and SAME. It was a great episode overall but I really just wanted to come here to gush about Kristen and the nun, LOL. I really appreciate that, in a very male-dominated episode, the show still managed to give Kristen a separate storyline where she forges a bond with another female character (and without them speaking a word to each other, to boot!) Shows, especially male-centric shows, don't really tend to care about developing relationships between female characters unless it serves a specific purpose, so it was really nice to see them going out of their way to do the exact opposite. And yeah, I appreciated the subtext as well. It doesn't seem to bother anyone when it's between Kristen and David, so why should it be any different just because the nun is a woman? I've seen actual f/f couples on TV that didn't reach the level of intimacy and tenderness that Kristen and Fenna had after only one episode, so kudos to both actresses. Whatever it is the show was going for, they sold it.
  24. Completely agree with you. And I had the same wish as you regarding the possible introduction of Abby. Part of me knew they wouldn't be "brave" enough to confirm a 13-year-old character as a lesbian, but I still foolishly hoped. And now that Dawn has come out as "not caring about gender," lesbian Kristy is most definitely out the window, because they're not gonna make two members of the BSC be LGBTQ. At least Bart was nowhere to be seen on the show. #smallwins Sure, it happens, but sometimes the sporty tomboyish girl really is a lesbian. Stereotypes don't just come out of thin air. I think it would be a lot more damaging for a 13-year-old tomboy who doesn't understand why she's not interested in boys like her friends to watch this show, see a character she finally can relate to, and then basically be told "It's OK, you will eventually like boys, too!" Most of the lesbian characters portrayed on TV these days are ultrafeminine anyway, so it's not like making Kristy a lesbian would be "overdone." JMO.
  25. I've made a similar post before on this thread ages ago, but it's always relevant. I am SO TIRED of reading/hearing comments about what Actress X did or didn't do to her face. I mean, if you're so distracted by an actress's face while watching a show/movie, that seems to me like your problem, not hers. I also hate the way those comments are always framed, like "Ugh, she needs to lay off the Botox," as if they do it because they're being shallow and vain and not because they work in an industry that starts telling women sometimes as young as 30 that they need to stop themselves from aging or they will be unmarketable and unhireable. I know of actresses that have gone on record about how the network executives/producers/whatever relevant powers that be told them to lose weight, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were also the ones to "suggest" they get the work done so that they look better in HD or whatever. But as usual, the only contempt expressed surrounding this subject is always toward the women who have to suffer the consequences from it. Sorry, rant over.
