S07.E16: May Your Choices Reflect Hope, Not Fear
wonderwoman replied to DanaK's topic in Chicago Med
in words of one syllable: yes! and not just infants. any patient needs a transplant — odds are that another patient will wind up brain dead. -
thanks! was starting to think it was just me.

S04.E08: How Do You Get to Carnegie Hall?
wonderwoman replied to Pallas's topic in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
both predictable and anti-climatic. but that scene between lenny and midge on the carnegie hall stage should be on luke kirby’s emmy real. same with midge’s performance at the strip club. -
Me too. I also do a meal where I stuff a sweet potato with chickpeas and tomato and greens and certain spices. Really great veggie meal. I am weird - even though the microwave can get it done in a few minutes, I prefer the old-school way of roasting them in the oven. I feel like they're sweeter that way. love roasting sweet potatoes in the oven — loved the small purple japanese ones they had until recently at trader joe’s. my latest fave is cutting a largish sweet potato into chunks, throwing in a bunch of roasted broccoli, and finish with a drizzle of orange-infused olive oil and some sliced scallion.

there’s a funny episode of ‘everyone loves raymond’ where marie does the same thing to deba. shares her spices, but jar labeled basil actually contained tarragon. of course, had debra been more of a cook she would have seen and smelled the switch, but still.

S04.E05: How to Chew Quietly and Influence People
wonderwoman replied to Aulty's topic in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
leave it to beaver and dennis the menace were sitcoms about children. the only growing those characters did was to get older and taller — and that’s all viewers expected of those shows. but, serial dramas are different. one aspect of soap opera (and this show embodies at lot of soaps)) is that characters do grow and and learn — and suffer the consequences of their actions (at least they did in the early days of soaps). as you noted, people can get wiser, i would argue while still retaining their basic personality. so yes, midge is self-centered, and likely always will be, but that doesn’t mean that she can’t learn from her mistakes. and it doesn’t help that there are never any real and lasting consequences stemming from her childish — and sometime downright mean — behavior. -

alison stine at salon has some thoughts about the show in general, and midge and sty in particular: midge’s non-apology in earlier posts, she discusses susie and joel. -
glad it wasn’t just me. i’ve always felt that beth was the only pearson who didn’t need to get over herself. oh well…

from the ny times. pretty much sums up my feelings. ny times take on law and order

never heard of troy mcclure (not a simpson’s fan:) so i had to look him up.
-
yes, of course. but three commercials with the same actor, running at the same time, is pretty unusual— rare even. i could be wrong, but i can’t think of another actor doing that — ever. maybe voiceovers, but not on screen.
-
not sure what to make of ice-t and so many commercials: car shield; tide; and now cheerios. any thoughts?

i noticed that there’s been anew drummer. any idea what’s going on with joe saylor? i’ve always loved the interactions between him and colbert. -
i found eddie’s behavior so out-of-line, that i’m not embarrassed to admit that i was hoping it would have turned out that it wasn’t rape. really — no one’s shit detector is 100% — well, except for the reagan’s
-
exactly what i was coming to say! and the archbishop (who, btw, in nyc would almost certainly be a cardinal) looked and sounded like a fool, as well.
-
anyone who opposes any of the reagans is always presented as a pompous ass — one of the things that has always bugged me most about this show — no complexity, much less nuance.
-
so did jamie start behaving like a dick hoping to catch the imposter? or was he just behaving like a dick for no apparent reason and catching the imposter was just dumb luck? his behavior just seemed way out of character — and i didn’t get the impression that it was a means to an end (catching the guy). have to say, that ovation at the end made me want to puke!

S47.E09: Paul Rudd / Clip Show
wonderwoman replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in Saturday Night Live
Yes, I posted a link to the source hours ago. From the Daily Mail, and it specifically mentions Colin Jost and Lorne Michaels have tested positive. Then it says “two other cast members.” But Colin is positive according to the article link I posted previously, if you scroll up. thanks, i missed that. though none of the online sources i saw mentioned who had tested positie. -
S47.E09: Paul Rudd / Clip Show
wonderwoman replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in Saturday Night Live
source, please. from what i’ve read, a number of cast members have pulled out because of concerns (the man does have a brand new baby), but haven’t seen any reports naming who tested positive. also read that tina fey may sub for weekend update. -
yup! that pretty much sums up this show — an on-going exercise in futility and frustration…

LSSC: Season Seven Episode Talk
wonderwoman replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in Late Show With Stephen Colbert
little late here, as well. back in the day, the late night format was different: guests weren’t their simply to plug their latest project, so they stuck around. when the next guest came out, the first one simply moved over to make room. there was conversation between the guests as well as the host (talking about johnny carson, here). i really missed those days and was so hoping that billy porter could have stayed and chatted with annaleigh ashford since both were in ‘kinky boots.’ alas…
