The second time through for me I noticed the second set of side eyes actually walked his ass back to the chair.

https://people.com/tv/game-of-thrones-viewers-mostly-pleased-finale-poll/ So that's interesting.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7065075/Jill-Zarin-says-Real-Housewives-New-York-City-cast-rebuffed-birthday-party-invite.html Oh gosh this is good. I remember the PageSix gossip that Jill planted talked like she was going to be ON RHoNYC. I expected to see her like I’m currently seeing Barbara. Poor Jill, she is really bummed about this.

Oh I know someone you can talk to about that. It’s not something that is brought up in polite company around my friends. I would say it out does the GoT easy. I’m looking for the poll that was done that ends up with about 20% having this visceral negative reaction. I’ll post when I find it again.

Except that she had already ended her episodes. Andy said in his book that he begged her to do it as a favor because he wasn’t getting anyone to fill the slot on ‘Andy’s Channel’. Cher turned him down. Everyone turned him down. It seems Jeff likes it but I haven’t listened to Andy’s channel ever. Dorinda has 6 episodes. That’s less than Bethenny.

Interesting, that means she’ll be required to do a blood test on regular intervals. I take a lot of drug tests, (hahaha, yah just for work), and there are folks at the lab office doing court required blood tests for something related to DUIs. I will try to get more information the next time I’m sitting in the waiting room. I wasn’t eavesdropping that carefully but now I understand the importance of this information I’ll find out if it’s for Antabuse and how often they are require testing.

Oh absolutely, I agree. But I know of one where we all saw it coming and almost went to the lengths of an intervention but she ended up losing a big chunk of her 50/50. So now when I read these things like the actress that literally ended up with her kids in Europe etc I always wonder what the path to that decision was. And this judge does not seem to be rubber stamping anything. I wonder if the physician that was yelled at will be called. That would be fascinating.

I just read the PageSix list of what she has to do to stay on probation. So she has to take those pills that make you sick if you drink and she has a breathalyzer that reports to a database. So I'm guessing either certain times of the day or maybe whenever they randomly ask. So she's under someone's thumb big time now.

According to the court Psych Jason will never compromise and makes decisions out of anger. He will never give Bethenny anything she wants. So that is when courts take decision making away. And make no mistake it doesn't just happen to the father it happens to the mother as well. If you don't play nice you don't get to play.

This one was less. The 6 million dollar house was the one that ended up with her in court with her kids, using Dennis to fund an attorney, Barb with POA and Bethenny calling rehab facilities for an emergency admit. From what they're saying this season she asked Bethenny to loan her the money and then asked Dennis. What was she thinking or what was she drinking?

Best part of the Vulture story was that some of the extras are getting calls for the prequel. I would imagine that there is a whole cottage industry that has been built up over the years based on filming in Belfast. I mean hotels, pubs, etc seeing more revenue based on one series. I'm sure there were small folks running a pub that practically had a wake when GoT ended.

Nope, they were dating before Dennis died. They had dated once when the on/off with Dennis was off. Then D/B was on and she wasn't seeing Paul. Then he came back in the picture when D/B was off again. It didn't surprise me that Dennis was struggling with addiction. After a year of this on/off I figured she was saying nope not going to do this if you're still using. Then he gets clean or convinces here is and its back on. Then she realizes he is still using and it's off. Really ugly cycle for people struggling with addiction.

So he meant a different thing when he wrote ‘do over’? I must say the fact that his manifesto was just fan fiction and 1.4 million people co-signed is amusing to me.

But does he know about the substantial number of books he stole from the Citadel? I think not.

Here is the link. I think you're safe reading it. https://www.buzzfeed.com/deliacai/guys-that-kit-harington-quote-for-game-of-thrones-haters-to

Turns out the quote was from an interview done in April and was a bit out of context in that he followed up the remark with an explanation.

The petition trashes 10 years of their lives but speaking out is something that they should just pass on? Maybe everyone on the petition should have just let it all pass without comment?

They constantly trash the actors. The meme are sometimes funny and a lot of the time disgusting. They trash the CGI folks. I was late to that sub reddit but I took them off my list within two weeks. Not due to spoilers but due to the way they trashed people.

So here is a recent interview with one of the HBO honchos, the programming president. https://deadline.com/2019/05/game-of-thrones-hbo-boss-finale-reaction-backlash-spinoff-sequel-plans-1202620302/

Because HBO/D&D have enough money that it won’t matter. The BTS folks are paycheck to paycheck. Everyone will have to hustle the next job in spite of the last show instead of getting the next job because of the last show. Checked with a make up artist about that so yes it’s going to hurt the BTS more than HBO/D&D and GRRM. So people that signed and/or people that support the petition should be honest about the fact that it protests the show and everyone connected with it. No one reads the small print anymore. None of the news coverage says anything about ‘just the writers’. They say the show. I don’t know where I said anything about entitled whiny babies unless you mean that is what you think. I just read today that the numbers don’t include China yet because China delayed the showing due to the trade war. What?

The fans are criticizing the work product of the BTS people. So many of them probably feel their hard work is being denigrated. There is a petition saying we don’t like this and demand that you do it over. Not sure how anyone connected with the final product wouldn’t see that as a criticism of what they did, actors, BTS, everyone. So 1.4 million people don’t like what you did. They are kind of saying it was just the writing. The rest of you were great. The fact that your resume now has a poorly rated episode shouldn’t affect how your next boss views your resume. Tell them we didn’t mean you. I’m sure it won’t impact you in any way. When in fact it will affect them and will impact their ability to get the next job and the rate they get paid. So thanks 1.4 million people cuz we understand that you are just venting. All our hard work means nothing to you.

That means that 1.4 million people think that D&D fucked up. That's all. If this was a criminal offense, well that would be another matter. What I see in the reporting is that the more people that have signed the less weight the complaint carries. Now we have other actors/directors/etc that have nothing to do with any of this saying that people don't understand how a series is made etc. So D&D will go on. Quite frankly if they had cost a studio $$$$$ and hadn't turned in the viewship then they would have a problem. But this wasn't a studio backed piece and it did turn in the viewship. So signing the petition makes someone feel better and makes for fun headlines and something to talk about. Now 'they' are slamming the GoT folks that are standing up to the petition. The tweets are hysterical. Basically GoT people should be thanking them for getting them more work. Sigh, the internet.

Ture. I never thought she cared much to rule anything other than Westeros. The conquering was just what she needed to do to get her army, her ships and get to where she wanted to rule. The arc really took off for me when she got to Dragonstone. It was also where you saw the imperious kneel or die behavior start. And it continued to grow even as she went North to fight the NK. The look on her face when she said that Sansa WILL respect her. I thought she was a real B and that Jon needed to run. The nail in that coffin was that her first reaction to finding out that Jon had an identity that put him ahead of her for the throne was to get angry. So mad queen? No idea that was coming? I didn't think so. What was interesting to me was that she was killed before she could reach the true height of terror for the entire know world.

And apparently there weren't enough people canceling in protest before the final episode.
