Shan wasn't rubbing anything in with Genie. Genie was throwing a fit about losing her ally and Shan laid out exactly why Genie should not really care whether Brad was gone or not. Sydney is attractive. Don't know how savvy she is yet, but she's attractive enough. Two attractive, thin young women. I wondered which one would get the internet hate this season. Looks like it's two for the price of one. But at least they're not being called guys, I guess.

Political correctness run wild, guys! Anyway, I like a little of the back to basics stuff, but would prefer it be related to idols. At least the "earn your shit" stuff is a little more like old fashioned Survivor. Ricard is super annoying. Everyone else, I like well enough. Shan is a little annoying, but not too bad. I really like Danny. I might stick with the whole season.

You could just not watch. I think JJ Abrams destroyed Star Trek, so I don't watch anything that he is involved with. Works for me.

I love Tommy Helm. Even if he made some ugly women's faces in that season. 😂

The "Amazon woman?" Do you mean Andrea, who is from Colombia? She is a perfectly beautiful woman from Latin America. So, no.

I just did a re-watch of the first several seasons. I was honestly surprised at how tame the "conflict" was for the first season or so. It was a lot less about characters than it became later. That was especially true of the first season.

I think Andrea is a much better business person. For most of the season, I thought she and Gary were pretty comparable as far as design. I much preferred his vintage to her sequins in the finale, though. I have my doubts that a lot of people want to wear sequins, but maybe I am wrong. In the end, I think her business savvy, both past and present, won the competition for her. As for who will succeed after this, Andrea has already grown her business. Gary's went under. I don't think she's going to suddenly fail. Hopefully he can get someone who has business acumen to help him, because I think both the pop-up shop and the business plan presentation showed why his business failed.

Maybe he's just a shitty businessman. I have not seen anything from him that makes me feel he has the backbone or confidence to get through tough times in a tough industry.

Damn. I wanted Andrea to win. That's a jumpsuit I would actually buy. I liked the print of Gary's dress, but I am not sure I want his because that jacket isn't my thing. It looks like a pain in the ass to wear.

It is amazing that the fantasy of Project Runway has convinced people that it's realistic and even required to have established designers doing their own sewing.

Real punk rockers don't "retire," Olivia.

The boots cost almost $700, so an $80 dress is a deal. I like that the video shows it on a small model and a bigger model. Looks good on both body types. As for the episode, Heidi's face looked lovely when they showed her at the judging. Then, the pasties on her dress came into to view and I wondered wtf. I caught the first season just a few weeks ago. I like the show. I had always hated the forced drama and "characters" of PR. Much less of that with this show. I quit watching PR several years ago, and bringing back Siriano did nothing to make me want to watch it again. I still have the bad taste of the insufferable little shit he was when he first appeared on that show. So, I am glad to see a second season of this.

Was watching the first couple of seasons on Paramount+ and looked some stuff up on Twitter. Ran across this. Assuming this means new seasons, but in what format? These were posted just after that announcement. https://www.inkedmag.com/.amp/original-news/ink-master-returns https://www.looper.com/346179/ink-master-season-14-release-date-cast-trailer/

Never watched this when it was first on. I had just turned 23 in 1994 and had a two-year-old. Watching high school dramas wasn't really my thing. Finally caught it on Hulu. It's okay. Not saying I relate to it. It definitely has that 30-something vibe of middle class suburbanites and their FWP, which wasn't my world as a kid or a young adult. But I guess there were much worse things on at the time. If it had come out a few years earlier, I might have gotten into it and have the nostalgia thing. As it is, it just feels like something I watched to say I had seen it. Most of these people drive me a little crazy. The parents are incredible pushovers. Angela is far more angsty than she has any reason to be. Rayanne is exhausting. I think Rickie is the only one I could stand to be around for long.

"Privilege" and "safe spaces". Not widespread mid-90s speak. That's widespread 2010s- speak. The show continues to pander rather than depicting the time realistically. They could show the same conflicts without using terms that are stilted in the particular scenarios presented. Or they could have set it in a timeline when such language was more commonly used. Mallory is shady as fuck. I don't think she cares about Kate. I think she is obsessed with getting back at Jeannette for having popular friends. Kate is a way to do that.

I just don't. I live in another conservative state. We had gay bars in the cities in the freaking 80s. Even in my small town, the gay boys would go to one particular bar in town or my gay friends and I would hang out at a local hotel. Lesbians were much more reserved about appearing in public. That the couple was interracial and gay would likely have been a bigger issue at the time. We had interracial straight couples frequent one of the local lesbian bars in the city because they weren't harassed as much, and that was the early 90s. The whole thing had an air of shoehorning a storyline into this for "intersectional" points, though. It happens in every "period piece" these days. I wasn't buying the whole news media aspect until I remembered the Texas cheerleader case and how it was national talk in the early days of cable news. I even remember jokes on late night talk shows. Still, it seems a bit over the top.

I have always preferred Angel to Buffy as shows go. Probably because I was in my late 20s/early 30s and already had a kid through both shows and the high school stuff just didn't appeal as much to me. As for Charisma, at the time, a lot of people said that he was intentionally destroying the character. I didn't agree, but it looks like I was wrong.

Just saw that Chris Pennock died. I knew he was sick this winter because we followed each other on Twitter, but I didn't realize he had died until I looked at David Selby's website today. He was really down to earth from what I saw. I was surprised that he randomly started following me one day after I made some political reply on Twitter. He didn't even know I was a big Dark Shadows fan. From what I have read, he was extremely open to the show's fans. One of the good ones in so many ways.

I didn't watch this when it first aired. Just finished it. I didn't see any redemption in these people. They're money-hungry trash taking from the poor to give themselves ease. As for why Eli accepted his wife, but not his daughter, I think his wife made him money. He had to accept her in the ministry, but he could fall back on misogynistic bullshit of his religion once he had the bag. I think they will do anything to keep their own family and wealth intact. Even put on pretenses. Does that make them redeemed? Not a damned bit. Wasn't terribly funny, even as black comedy. Typical HBO.

Rewatching the episode about Brian Barton, the punk musician who disappeared back in 2005 in Federal Way, WA, and hating this dipshit detective and her snide accusations even more than I did originally. They found Brian's body about four years ago behind a church near his home. No foul play suspected. She looks even dumber now. I feel even worse about how all his friends were treated. The one everyone was pointing fingers at died of a heart disorder two years before his friend was found. Sucks to die with that hanging over you.

I think Mitchell, Laserblast and Diabolik were all pretty great. The other two I can take a or leave.

Maybe taking a break is a good thing, anyway. It's been a very long time since I have watched a full season. Just tired of it for a number of reasons. Maybe they can come up with some better ideas if they take a while away.

A sundown town comes from the practice of racist law enforcement and citizens telling Black people to be out of the all-white town by sundown (or suffer the consequences). Here's the wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundown_town On the topic of Rey, they kept saying that he went through the roof, but one person said it was steel. How does a body pierce a steel roof at all?

The whole Rob and Patrice relationship screamed abuse to me. Pistol said that Rob was very involved for about a year, then suddenly got really nasty. The kid would have been about 9 or 10 then. The friend said that Rob set Patrice up with the business. He's 20 years her senior. I think he found a younger woman who was struggling a bit financially and thought that he could control her. He set up her business, and he felt she owed him. After a year, he realizes that her kid will always come first (because he should always come first) and gets more and more hateful. Takes it out on the kid. Tries to keep her from nurturing any other relationship that might take attention away from him, whether it's with friends or family. Vindictively keeps her separated from her true family even in death. Fantasizes about her final days. Even if he wasn't involved in her death, I have no doubt that he made her life hell. Very, very much a Jules vibe going on there. As for the guys who left Alonzo, I am not a fan. Given that at least one of them talk about a conflict between Zo and the dudes who were at the party, I just flat don't believe Justin. And leaving a guy an hour from home in a situation that has already been confrontational isn't just a miscommunication to me. That is just selfish. They should feel guilty. And Zo's family and other friends have every right to be angry at them. The feel of the show is lacking. It's a very well-made true crime, but the only thing that made it anything else was the UFO story. Those are my least favorite segments, so that's not enough. Will watch, but it's not UM.

I finally watched this 2 years later, and this bothered me all season. The formidable Klingons weren't so formidable at all. This has been true in every Trek series. Other than Tasha, main members of the crew are never really in danger, but it bothered me more this time. Maybe I am just tired of Trek or maybe it's because this is a younger Federation. They just seemed to have too much overwhelming technology and tactics.
