S49.E06: Emma Stone / Noah Kahan
BookThief replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in Saturday Night Live
I'm not from Vermont, but I Shazam-ed him last winter when I first heard "Stick Season" on the local college radio station and needed to know who that was immediately and I've been obsessed since! He's so good. He has a different sound and I tend to be a sucker for a banjo. I was glad to see him on and agree that the rest was just meh. -
LSSC: Season Eight Episode Talk
BookThief replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in Late Show With Stephen Colbert
I'm guessing they had to scrap their original show and come up with a new one ASAP. I don't think they'd let this wait a day! -
S48.E08: Steve Martin & Martin Short / Brandi Carlile
BookThief replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in Saturday Night Live
Hello from Erie, PA! Overall, I was disappointed with this episode. I really expected more with those two. Does anyone know if they were involved with the writing at all this week? There were a few amusing things but honestly it would probably be funnier to just watch the two of them interact with one another for an hour. Brandi was probably the highlight. I actually listened to both songs and I never do that. -
I don't know what the show's powers that be are thinking by increasing the raunchiness and zaniness of this show, but it ain't working for me (and I'm not against it in general, but it feels out of place now with what we learned about these characters in previous seasons.) You really have Mayim Bialik saying "bone town" multiple times in one episode, and a few weeks ago tracking down the sperm donor? Holy moly that was out of character and just awful TV). They think that's funny and an improvement? There are other examples I've mercifully already forgotten but it's really changed the feel of the show. It used to have *something* that kept me watching but now there isn't much going for it.

You can fire anyone for almost any reason in this country, as long as it's not because of being part of a protected class. And she didn't keep her opinion private, she told the people who are employing her about it. I would argue it's not wrong to fire someone you are using as your spokesperson who has a view like this about a product they are being paid to promote, and by extension has unfavorable opinions about some of the customers that product is for.

TDS 3.0: Season Seven Talk
BookThief replied to possibilities's topic in The Daily Show With Trevor Noah (2015-2022)
Kudos to Trevor for managing to stay calm and light in the moment but, oof, that Kellyanne Conway interview was rough. I can feel how much slime she oozes through the screen. He managed to call her out and kind of direct her back to what the actual topic was in a chill manner, but I definitely would not have had the same chill ability. "You're doing the thing everyone said you would do!" (Paraphrase) -
Golden Girls News (and Media): Better Late Than.... Pregnant!
BookThief replied to GoldenBoy's topic in The Golden Girls
You all are probably the only people who would appreciate this. I love Golden Girls, and have since I was a kid (when it aired on Saturdays!). Anyway, apparently the subject has come up often enough at work. My mom died last March and a coworker recently told me that she wanted to find a way to cheer me up, so she wrote to agencies associated with Betty White and tried to get a signed photo or card or something for me, but was unsuccessful (it has worked for her with other celebrities in the past). She hesitated whether to tell me or not, but obviously did after Betty's death (which of course I brought up at work, even non-super fans were bummed). It's a little disappointing it didn't work out, but it also warms the cockles of my cold, dead heart that she tried! -
Regarding whether Tamara and Will had sex, when Will and Geordie were talking towards the end, Georgie goes "And where did you see Tamara this morning... You didn't, did you!?" and Will replies "No, no, of course not. I don't think". So it's definitely not a foregone conclusion that they had sex. Maybe wanted to, sure, but I don't think they did. And I definitely don't think they had sex publicly if they did.

It was a Bones reunion! (the older neighbor and the one ghost buster guy)! Definitely a slightly dopey episode at times, but I guess they did tell us A.C.H.

They did, temporarily, but I believe they sold the new one to Mr. Glascott, the guidance counselor, after Erica said no way in hell was she going to live next door.

I watched and....I'm just glad it's over. -
The Beast Must Die - General Discussion
BookThief replied to Quilt Fairy's topic in The Beast Must Die
I'll finish this season but, oof, I'm always relieved when an episode is over and a few times during any episode I always wonder if it will ever end because OMG the episode is taking forever. I want to sympathize, but just...don't. I don't know if we didn't get enough back story or what, but the whole thing leaves me cold and uninterested. Maybe the end will surprise or at least intrigue me... -
TDS 3.0 Season Six Talk
BookThief replied to GHScorpiosRule's topic in The Daily Show With Trevor Noah (2015-2022)
Whoa, sounds like Thursday's episode is the last one until SEPTEMBER! You just know all this shit is going to happen before then that we need Trevor's viewpoint on! -
LSSC: Season Six Episode Talk
BookThief replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in Late Show With Stephen Colbert
I'm happy Stephen's happy, but I didn't love the return to an audience as much as I had hoped to! I'm assuming it'll calm down though over time (and/or I'll just get used to it again). The audience for the first few weeks will probably be overly excited themselves as it's maybe the first time they've done something so public like this in 15 months. But you don't realize how long you have to wait for clapping and cheering until it goes away and then comes back again. I'm glad others thought Jon Stewart's rant was...awkward. I was watching it and thinking how weird it was and I thought, OK, they'll get it together in the next segment and then...that was it. Oof. That was a supremely disappointing visit by Jon. I guess that's one way to make sure people stop asking to hear what your thoughts are on subjects. -
Because the contraction and release of pelvic muscles during an orgasm can help alleviate cramp pain for some people. There are a lot of doctors who really promote having period sex. I wish your doctor had just said those words instead of the euphemistic "having a boyfriend". Ick.
