  1. This show is rapidly becoming unwatchable for me. I am so repulsed by Mary's rigid religious fundamentalist lunacy that it spoils everything else, because all I can think about is how much I would like to punch her in the face. I think the character works better in small doses.
  2. I thought I was the only one to have thought that! I think I actually said out loud "What are you doing?" I don't know a lot about what babies that young can actually eat, but I wasn't at all sure that avocado was a good thing to be feeding him.
  3. Caught a few minutes of this about halfway in, saw that Kat had apparently already been voted thru, and remembered why I can't stand this season. Kelly's wardrobe person is just fucking with us now, isn't she? Gwen looked good as Barbarella, though.
  4. Kate was very much in the wrong when she spilled the beans (or avocado, in this case) to Toby about Jack's actual first time eating. There was no reason at all to spoil his happiness. This is one case where "what he doesn't know won't hurt him" is a valid principle.
  5. I can't believe, after watching this show from Day 1, that I still fall for the Big Fake-Out. I thought the scene with Randall and Nicky in the car and Randall obliviously telling Nicky all about what Jack had told him about the song and all the while Nicky is remembering with anguish how he had told Jack the same stuff was just so powerful. And I loved the little flash-forward with Adult Jack2 serving Thanksgiving shrimp! January 14 seems an awful long way away.
  6. I've stopped watching. I just come here to read the comments about whatever Kelly and Gwen wear.
  7. Absolutely no sympathy from me. Annie deserves life in prison and never to see or hear from her half-sister again. She's a dangerous lunatic.
  8. Except that that's exactly what this is. Or did I miss the scene where Kevin held her down and forced her? Cassidy is a grown, experienced woman and quite capable of deciding if she does or doesn't want to have sex with Kevin. SHE decided that she did. If, later on, both feel that it shouldn't happen again, then fine. It's not a big deal. Do people really think Cassidy the marine is going to disintegrate just because she (gasp) had sex with Kevin? I'm sure it wasn't exactly a trauma. And as for these supposed "unwritten rules" laid down by AA -- unwritten rules are not laws and they are going to AA voluntarily, so they are both free to do whatever they damn well please without getting anyone else's permission. AA sounds an awful lot like a religious cult.
  9. So, did Kevin deliberately provoke that moron in the bar into beating him up because he felt so badly about hooking up with Cassidy, and felt some bizarre need to be punished for it? Because I just don't get what the big deal is about 2 adults having sex. He's single, she's separated, they weren't drunk, there was no coercion, so who cares? I really don't understand what the problem is.
  10. Looked like the answer to the question "Can you make a dress from a Hefty bag and some glitter?" She and Gwen together made quite an eyeful, and not in a good way. Maybe the producers' way of distracting us from the stupid and inexplicable but wholly predictable voting results. Kat Hammock in, Ricky Braddy out? I think I'm done, show. And the double irony of TWO 14-year-old girls singing "All By Myself"! I mean, they changed the "making love" lyric, but did no one notice the first line is "When I was young...…"
  11. Yet another example of a particularly annoying movie/TV trope. That of the completely deserted and dark hospital, (day shifts only for the lucky nurses and doctors at these hospitals, it seems), and populated solely by victim and killer. (And, of course, the obligatory but ultimately useless hallway "guard" who ALWAYS ends up dead).
  12. Gwen looked really good tonight (not cartoonish for a change!) but I didn't like Kelly's fluorescent highlighter look at all. I haven't seen most of the performances yet (the football game was too good) but all I could think of when Kat Hammock sang was "God Only Knows how she got this far".
  13. The colour was fine, I just thought it looked dowdy and shapeless and boring.
  14. Just once, I'd like to see a psychopathic, sadistic child get what's coming to him, instead of the usual "let's give the boy a lollipop and send him to a cushy hospital for a little while before unleashing him on an unsuspecting public again" trope. So is Jessica supposed to be much older than the actress playing her, or is Malcolm supposed to be much younger than the actor playing him, or can we add pedophilia to Dr. Whitly's crimes?
  15. I couldn't believe John kept that awful kid instead of Mendeleyev. Is the show catering solely to the 15-and-under crowd now? There's not one memorable singer on this show. Marina wasn't a bad singer, but I'm glad they got rid of her I-just-tasted-a-rotten-lemon face. And what's with the outfits? Kelly went from one extreme to the other (first in-your-face boobs, then an ugly green sack), and Gwen was tarted up like a cartoon character. Obviously, she's gorgeous, but still, she's 50 years old now and she appears desperate.
  16. I thought the actress did a fantastic job channeling Kathy Bates' version of Annie Wilkes. She nailed her mannerisms and inflections so perfectly, it really was like watching the same woman, only younger.
  17. We had one of those when I was a kid! The lid was on the side, and it had a pull-out tray. I remember having chocolate + vanilla ice cream in a checkerboard pattern, so you had to slice it to get the proper effect.
  18. Maybe Tess had a panic attack because she finally realized how ugly that hairstyle is. I hated this episode. Too many whiny Pearsons. Adult Kevin was the only good thing in it. Don't like Cassidy and her family at all. I can never understand why so many TV shows think women burning simple food is so endearing.
  19. I had to laugh when he said "I've had sex! PLENTY of sex!" Yeah, right. I'm thinking not very plenty, and only with women he pays or are somehow willing to overlook his strange appearance and bizarre behavior, and never the same woman twice. This show is only 2 episodes in, and already it's so over-the-top it's ridiculous. The writers are throwing everything but the kitchen sink in there. It's like they watched a marathon of Criminal Minds after it jumped the shark, and then said to each other, "How can we put all that crap in just TWO episodes?" Oh, and that CGI snake was cheesy as hell.
  20. I wish, just once, that someone would tell Franny to sit down and be quiet, and stop asking questions that are none of her damn business. That kid bugs me like no other. I cannot stand her. Even if Carrie didn't already have issues, Franny's constant whiny questions would be enough to drive anybody around the bend.
  21. What a huge disappointment. Celeste had a few good moments in the courtroom, but I was somehow hoping for more. And the part where the judge, who has already made her decision, allows Mary Louise to stand up and start pontificating again was just stupid. I'm sorry we never got to see anyone tell ML to sit down and shut her piehole. Speaking of ML, the mysterious death of Perry's brother they've been teasing us with all season turns out to be a mundane car accident because she was apparently distracted, which they show in a snippet so lightning-fast you could barely make out what happened. I think we all knew what was going to happen with Renata's husband's toys the moment he told her he could keep and play with them even after they were sold. The whole Bonnie story, boring as it was all along, fizzled out into nothing. She was clearly the weak link from the start.
  22. I just watched this episode, and as a Canadian, I would have to say "Yes". That is exactly what a Canadian government would do. I knew they would cave and not risk offending the fascists.
  23. The moment Nigel says "Let's get your kid on the stage" is the moment I change the channel.
  24. Mary's looking more plastic than ever.
  25. I can't be bothered to watch the rest of this. It would be so much better if it was about a fictional mass Ebola outbreak. As it is, we already know nothing happens except the usual military and corporate incompetence and corruption.
