So thankful this is here! I watched the series when it aired, but recently started a rewatch and just finished Jacksonville. I'll admit I wasn't a huge fan of Peter/Olivia. I like both characters and definitely found Peter charming. I guess I was invested to a point (the same point I reached with Sydney/Vaughn) just to see Olive get a happy ending. I was not prepared for all my Jacksonville feelings. I squeed when Peter stroked her cheek and they almost kiss. And then when they both dress up for their "date." And Olivia fixing her hair in the mirror and smiling! AND THEN SHE SEES HIM GLIMMER AND I WAS NOT PREPARED. Actual full throttle, body bending NOOOOOOO. AND THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT WALTER AFTER. AND THE "PLEASE DON'T TELL HIM." GAAAAAAH So glad I restarted the show, I forgot how much I loved it.

There are lots of little continuities that I picked up, most of which I doubt were intentional. But hee! Dorothy and Sophia both used the same gay wedding planner. "You're about to fly right out of here, aren't you?"

I'm watching the episode with Phil's funeral and Blanche looks STUNNING in her red dress with the asymmetrical neckline. How the hell did I never notice Dorothy's giant Chanel earrings after years of watching this show? And how the hell did a substitute teacher afford them? Just a teacher... a substitute teacher... a divorced substitute teacher... who can't even afford her own place to live...BEAM ME UP!

I still can't believe that recent Gawker(?) episode ranking had Sick and Tired in the top 5. Blegh.

I recently bought the back 4 seasons after owning the first 3 for years. Love finding all the little missing dialogues and jokes that weren't in syndication. I've never seen the end of the "CONDOMS, CONDOMS, CONDOMS!" scene after Blanche's big amazing speech. Dorothy: "I have no idea who this woman is, I bought these for my brother!" as she runs out.
