Cheer is going on tour That touring schedule looks utterly exhausting. Most tours have some travel days but they're performing in a different city almost every night. Interesting that Andy got "created by" credits.

It definitely seems that way. Bette-the-person is awful but Bette-the-actor is so much more tolerable than most of the others. Shane is probably the only one who seems to be a somewhat decent person and actor. I would be okay if the show was 90% Bette and Shane. Even some of the adult actors are really bad. The cop takes me out of the scene every time. There's a club in Chicago hiring minor ballet dancers to serve alcohol? And the school is okay with this? Uh huh.

Yeah, dancing there? People would have been running them over to get to the Bean. Along Michigan Ave or the river would have been much more realistic.

I agree with everyone else- really good dancing, pretty bad everything else. I found myself mentally editing dialogue in my head and I don't know that I've ever done that with a show before. Needing to cast dancers of this level must make it really hard to find people who can also act. It's very uneven- Shane's actor seems decent while Nevaeh is baaad.

I really liked this season. Any time the kids are all together is my favorite. I always thought the Chase actor was the weakest of the group but I thought he did a nice job with Gert's death and then with the future stuff. Everyone after the time jump was interesting. I actually liked Niko better in her trousers and pastels. And she seemed much more at peace with herself even if clearly unhappy with the Karolina situation. I appreciate that the show always treated Karolina and Nico as just another couple and let them cuddle and kiss.

I'm just glad Bree was the one who got to kill Bonnet. I was going to be pissed if Jamie or Roger did it. I thought Ed Speleers did a good job with Bonnet, making him very charismatic. I didn't like the Moby Dick scenes though- he came off as manic. I don't know if Bonnet was supposed to be drunk or what.

I'm really glad someone brought up Old Ian and Fergus when Jamie was going on about his leg. Young Ian was excellent. And the callback to 'a man of leisure' was great. But would it have killed them to have Fergus and Jamie actually speak about it. Wait, Marsali delivered her own damn baby in the woods and we didn't get to see it? I'm shocked they didn't go with the trope of cutting between a birth and a (potential) death. Claire totally jerked him back to life.

Peeps are good for a few things- squishing and blowing up in the microwave. I would not recommend eating them. He got the rat erotica! I didn't know how bad I needed that cathartic laugh. And kudos to whoever had it; that email was perfect.

I have no concept of time on this show (to be fair, I don't know that the show has a concept of time). I keep thinking Ian lost a child, with his comment to Marsali about bairns, but I have no idea if enough time has passed to make that a possibility.

All of these people are horrible people I would never want to spend any time around. But I don't agree that Carole is as bad as the rest. As long as she's not breeding animals she's not propagating the problem which makes her a thousand times better. That being said, I still don't like her.

I'm really shocked John had pants on when he stood up. This was somehow a lot less awkward than the other comedians doing silent shows (including the other episode John did). Hammy4Prez!

That is one cute kitten. Anytime the show wants to flashback (forward?) and catch up with Joe Abernathy is fine with me.

The Trap party looked amazing. I'm going to assume that like the BLM activists playing themselves, Trap Heals is a real thing and that really was the founder? Malika and Alice are my favorites. I love both of them asserting themselves and I want to give them both a hug. This show desperately needs Jazmin on it for Gael to have something to do other than brood. He's 100% more likable with her around. Why are she and her cute bf not living at the Coterie? Mariana! Girl, you *just* conducted a string operation at the office using hidden cameras.

I actually really like Beto and Ella. I wouldn't mind if she stays around and the rest of the family likes her but is also gently bemused by her. Like her bringing Emilio the Chinese food the other night and then leaving was a great touch. Lucia: "Natalia, I can see you."

Yup all of this. Also, our lack of sick leave + low wages means a lot of hourly workers can't afford to take time off even if they are ill. You know who makes low hourly wages? A lot of people in the healthcare industry (CNAs, techs, etc.) and almost everyone in the food industry. Cause that's who you want forced to come to work sick.
