    Say Yes To The Dress - General Discussion

    in Say Yes To The Dress

    Re the butt bow:

    I think that was the mother's not-so-subtle passive-aggressive effort to sabotage her husband using the daughter. The mother was appalled at how much her husband was willing to spend, and found fault with every dress. She only agreed when the ugly bow was added.

    Love to know that family's backstory.

    S01.E02: Episode Two

    in American Crime [V]

    As others have noted, there are times when this show feels like a sort of homage to "Crash." But what might work well in a 2-hour movie can feel like a chore to watch when spread out over, in this case, 11 episodes. Frankly, getting to see Barb confronted with the reality of Matt's life is the only thing that will keep me watching for the duration. So, I'll be recording, then watching with my finger on the ff button.

    S16.E16: December Solstice

    in Law & Order: SVU

    "Did Barba's Abuelita commit suicide or die of natural causes? I think she died of natural causes, in her own home on her own terms, because she was ill and succumbed to death like old people are wont to do. I don't think Abuelita would have been so selfish as to kill herself and leave her daughter and grandson in that kind of grief. Also, if she was Roman Catholic, at her age, she wouldn't have done so if she was true to form. "

    That was my take away, as well. I never considered the possibility of suicide.

    Season 5 Discussion

    in Blue Bloods

    "Frank is usually right in his decisions - or they make them play out right in the end. :)"

    Exactly! And at the risk of overstating the obvious: it's the "make them play out right" that's the problem:)

    Re the beer list: I thought the fact that they ordered Miller, was a nod to Margo Martindale, who left the she show to do "The Millers" on CBS. Loving Frank Langella, but now that "The Millers" has been cancelled, I'm hoping we'll see Claudia again.

    Season 5 Discussion

    in Blue Bloods

    You know, just once, when a Reagan goes off the reservation, I'd love to see it blow up in their face; in this case, Erin. Frankly, I was hoping that the guy would have been killed due to her reckless behavior, and she would have had to deal with the consequences. But, no, not the Reagan's.

    Did she even once consider the ramifications of pissing off the feds? Did she have that conversation with her boss? Was he on board; were the travel expenses approved (including the granddaughter)?

    I loathe the extent to which anyone whose point of view differs from the Reagan's is portrayed as a complete dick -- the mayor, the federal agent. But these people do have their own authority -- the mayor has it right: the police commissioner does work for him -- yet all the Reagan's display such utter contempt for any authority other than their own -- and they do so with such impunity it's laughable.

    in The Slap [V]

    Watched because of the outstanding cast, but don't think I'll stick around for this one. However, watching Marie Tucci and Thandie Newton channel Marie and Debra Barone was worth an hour of my life:)

    S06.E10: How Did We Get Here?

    in Parenthood [V]

    "Overall, it just felt like an inside joke, but without the joke part. Like we were supposed to somehow feel the deep emotions that the actors were experiencing as they drag out this long goodbye to each other. Instead, I find myself yawning and stretching as if to give a hint to dinner guests who have hung around too long. TIME TO GO, PEOPLE."

    This!

    and, "The quoting thing doesn't seem to work properly on the iPad."

    This!

    The Annual Kennedy Center Honors (CBS) - General Discussion

    in The Kennedy Center Honors

    "I love Sting (as a musician), but they have to end the show with Al Green."

    I like Sting too, but no one was swaying and clapping the way they were with Al Green's tribute. I guess the producers feels as though they need to close the show with something more cerebral. Although, a couple if years ago when Led Zepplin was honored, they closed with an amazing version of "Staircase to Heaven."

    S01.E06: Chapter Six

    in Jane The Virgin [V]

    "Telenovelas are NOT subtle. lol."

    They never seemed subtle, but there've been moments both in Jane the Virgin and Ugly Betty, where the emotionl response to a reveal was layered -- not at all over the top. Are these changes that have been made for American audiences, or, was I missing something because I lack Spanish?
