  1. What the heck did I just sit through? God. I was so looking forward to Snatch Game, and the only thing snatched was my joy. I’m also beyond over Daya’s constant bitchery. It’s just unwarranted.
  2. The Big Leap Canceled Really unfortunate. I enjoyed this show.
  3. I think the other reason that this is supposed to be a "big deal" with Becky and the professor is that he isn't just her professor, but also her advisor for her program? So in theory, the issue doesn't end when she completes his course. Which...switch advisors. Unless it's an incredibly small department, there will be more than one.
  4. Finally got to sit down and watch this, and I was absolutely blown away by how good it was. The diner number had me seriously tear up with all those Broadway legends popping up in one place (and loved spotting all the other cameos throughout the film), as did the Sondheim voicemail. The cast was great. Can't wait to watch again and pick up on any little bits that I missed.
  5. Now I'm unsure if I'll watch, because that was one of my chief concerns when I heard she was doing this movie. I'm autistic, and too much media focuses on the family and uses the autistic character as a prop in their own stories and growth, rather than on the autistic person as a three dimensional human being in their own right. Not sure if I want to sit through yet another story like that.
  6. The voice of Olmec is the same actor as the original series, Dee Bradley Baker.
  7. ABC isn’t dragging him through the mud trying to dig up dirt. He’s had multiple complaints about him to HR over the past three years. I would much rather an HR of a company, any company, do their due diligence regarding complaints of misbehavior or uncomfortable working conditions than ignore them. I thought it was an illuminating interview - tense at times, but very evenhanded. It was interesting to read Garlin’s perspective and I appreciated him being so forthright, even when Maureen was asking difficult questions.
  8. Really enjoyed Unexpected Christmas...and did anyone else who watched notice the Andrew Walker sighting? Everyone seems to be cameoing in the other's films this season!
  9. Jason will be playing George Bailey in a virtual table read of It's a Wonderful Life on December 5th. It's a heck of a star studded cast, but the best part may be the inclusion of George Wendt (his real life uncle) as Uncle Billy. Tickets are $25. Details here.
  10. I'm not sure where you are getting that Sassy is somehow knowingly going after Ted when he's vulnerable. She wasn't with him outside the club when he had the first panic attack, and the show made it pretty clear that Rebecca was the only one who knew about that one. She doesn't know what his state of mind was the day of the funeral, or that he had a panic attack prior to the funeral. All that the characters know, outside of Dr. Sharon, is that he was late to the funeral. And Rebecca's mother's comment about Ted being a wounded bird is very likely a reference to his recent divorce, and the fact that he's the one "who was left" and didn't do the leaving, as per the lunch conversation between the two of them earlier in the season. Rebecca has not, as far as we know, discussed Ted's panic attacks with anyone, including Sassy. She didn't even disclose her concerns with Beard when she went looking for Ted after he walked off the pitch and they had their conversation after the game. There isn't anything this season to suggest that Sassy is aware of Ted's situation at all in that respect. As far as Sassy is concerned, both she and Ted are recently divorced adults with a mutual attraction for each other, if nothing else. I don't think that puts her in Jane Payne territory.
  11. Exactly what my roommate and I said. Couldn’t stand the original intro.
  12. As you can imagine, I was thrilled to see her in the episode 😆
  13. Danny knew exactly what he was doing dropping that guy off, as well as what the reaction of the gang and consequences would be. It’s one of the reasons he was blustering so much to Baez about how he didn’t do anything wrong because technically whatever happened once the guy was out of his car wasn’t his fault. She saw right through that BS and called him out on it. It’s not the first time in the series he’s used that tactic, either. I think they are having a very difficult time this season writing a show that typically skews heavily on the pro-police side in the current climate. The new conflict with the mayor is directly borne out of that, and the writing is suffering in those areas.
  14. I used to love early Anita Blake - followed Lauren's blog, the whole bit. I think the turning point for me was Narcissus in Chains, and everything past that rapidly devolved. I tried to stick it out, but the sex completely overshadowed any semblance of plot. I once did a page count of one of the later books (I forget which one) and found about 45 pages of actual story plot, and the rest of the book was people screwing. I did not sign up for (badly written) porn. Her attitude toward the fan response was also a massive turn off.
  15. We aren't sure of the context of what Beard was told, though. If Beard thinks that Ted's reaction at the karaoke bar was specific to the event of him signing the divorce papers and finalizing his divorce, he may not realize that it's a more constant underlying issue. And while he did notice Ted's hands at the start of Season 1, he could have chalked that up to the "first day of school" jitters/excitement the two of them mentioned prior to showing up at practice that day.
  16. I honestly was taken aback by their choice of winner. I would have given it to Melanio.
  17. Considering Jamie didn’t know what “Pavlovian” was last season, I’m guessing it’s not him quoting Rilke on a dating app. Though it would certainly be an interesting pairing.
  18. I'm so sad to see this, not only because the show was so good, and I wanted to see more from these characters, but also because it means one less show with disability representation on television. It was such a breath of fresh air to see autistic characters played by autistic actors.
  19. One hundred percent. I love that he didn't force his words on the model, and ended up with a much more authentic result because of it. And by doing the painting himself on the outfit rather than have the models paint each other, he retained that level of control necessary to really take ownership of his garments, and that artistry. It was a great combination of leadership and collaboration.
  20. No idea whether Gary is autistic or not, but as an autistic viewer, it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest. Loved his concept, but was so concerned he wouldn’t be able to bring it to fruition. Was so pleased to see he was able to bring everything together. Thought it was executed really well.
  21. Thank god he's going to be okay. Felt like I had my phone on a permanent refresh after seeing the news last night.
  22. So glad someone started a thread for this show! Absolutely love it especially as someone who looked into adoption in the past as an option to build my family. Really looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.
  23. Official Ted Lasso merchandise is now available through the WB store: Ted Lasso
  24. Absolutely loved this, and hope there are more episodes in the future. Their music is also available on Spotify.
