I have a feeling that GGB is here because someone in casting watched Mozart in the Jungle and decided Arthur had a touch of Rodrigo to his personality. Otherwise, this makes no sense whatsoever. The actress who played Miranda was phenomenal, I loved this episode to bits. Anyone feeling the anxiety as the main characters don't think of putting on a mask or even tying a shirt on their faces, even in freaking Malaysia where everyone is already doing that due to a world-ending virus? Sure, let's duct tape our air vents and continue to walk around bare faced for no reason at all...

Lol, but I did feel bad for him, she was lying to him and wanted to get back together for shady reasons.

S01.E03: We're Selling Washing Machines
CarobCake replied to helenamonster's topic in Kevin Can F**k Himself
Hee, I had a very strange moment during that scene, as I sat at our dinner table, eating our healthy dinner, with my husband. I don't think the issue is what he was doing but that she was unhappy with that and with him, and apparently was not actually interested in the whole eating healthy thing he'd started. Also, it seems like she didn't like the show they were watching. We only watch shows we both like, it's totally different 😅 -
S02.E11: Zoey’s Extraordinary Double Date
CarobCake replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist
Husband said it would be great for me, who constantly lose my phone if I can have it fly back to me heh. But I can see the biggest use being using it for the photo/video functions as a drone - drone selfies, drone event videos, all with your phone. This could be huge. -
I'm surprised at how much I loved this little series, it was so nice! I agree with everyone who thinks that the Jolene thing was very trope-y, they should make up for that by giving us a spinnoff with Jolene as the main character, she seemed really compelling to me.

Maybe it's bigger on the inside?

a. I think Helm was an alpha female, no? The one who makes the feelies... b. Nope. Also, if they were so flexi on gender preference, where was the guy on guy sex? c. No, and in the last episode, when CJack is talking to Bernie he almost tells us! "You made Betas for your pleasures, gammas to serve you, and Deltas to..." and then doesn't finish his sentence! So maybe in season 2 we'll find out... Bernard was right that John doesn't take responsibility for anything... But a lot of what happened has me scratching my head. Why was Frannie being reconditioned? And why is she the one with the rod in the end? Why did the Epislons stop attacking when Indra was turned off from the network? Was it controlling them during their revolution? I'm also a little baffled by John's reasoning besides the usual "I'm pissed so I'll just stir up some shit" that seems to be his default since getting to New London. Also, did anyone catch this moment: I think the Goya's 3rd of may painting had appeared earlier in the show (maybe in Mustafa's mini-art museum?). After reading more about it, it seems to be interpreted as showing the horrors of war, no matter the cause. But I'm still a bit confused about what the show is really trying to say... what is the message?

Well, When Calls the Heart, the other silly show I've been binging did this EXACT SAME STORYLINE. A cook, who is actually a doctor, but is traumatized by the death of his wife... I also like her! She had me at "I don't do awkward"

The scene where they set the fire had me laughing out loud, it was so dumb. If only Lexie had set the fire, without the other 2 kids around, then maybe. The three of them out of the blue? No, that wasn't built up to AT ALL.

Hee, I'm so biased towards him that when people say they've expressed racist sentiments, my whole brain goes, WHAT?? PACEY IS NOT RACIST WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? She could have cut out the hand flipping people off... it's not like the photo was well framed to begin with, so not much of a difference. This episode had me agreeing with Izzy and Mia: I really hate Elena. What she did to Pearl was so vicious... I hope Pacey divorces her. And that Izzy goes to live with him. The Keds thing was absurd, I really hate it when people bring up the argument "if you want to live in this house, you have to do everything a say". Children don't have a choice in that, and it DOESN'T mean they can't have any kind of decision making or personality. They get to be individuals. It was petty. She is a terrible mom to Izzy. They provide for her physically, but look up the experiment with the fuzzy mom and the monkey to see how important having your mother's love is - more important than almost anything else. Pearl may have had it hard in her upbriging, and Mia is messed up in several ways but she always loved her child. Although it seems like Pacey loves her, he doesn't actually protect her from Elena, so it's not enough. If he did, maybe she wouldn't feel so alone.

I absolutely loved this show, I thought it was like an Indian teenaged Jane the virgin. Team Paxtom here, I thought Ben was really cruel to her early in the season, and I didn't feel like he really managed to make up for it later. Loved the therapist, the cousin, the plotlines, the jokes, the heart. I really hope Corona doesn't ruin this one.

Love May Be Blind, But the Media Sees All
CarobCake replied to Jane Tuesday's topic in Love Is Blind
Ah that explains things somewhat. Also apparently there was way more of their dramatic almost-wedding that we didn't get to see: https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/03/9531926/giannina-damian-wedding-dress-love-is-blind-scenes-cut -
OMG, yes, I came here just to talk about that. She was totally shaken, and I would've been as well. WTF? What the hell was he doing? Trying to see how much of a pushover she would be? The guy had the gall to be actually surprised when she said that they were not going to see each other again.

Pretty sure she said *she* was bouncing to the next dick, as per the Beyonce lyrics she quoted, "Who the fuck do you think I is? You ain't married to no average bitch, boy You can watch my fat ass twist, boy As I bounce to the next dick, boy" Or did I miss something? Hah @ridethemaverick, Jynx!

Yes, I think she still wishes she had been attracted to him, hence the tears. If it's really true that she only goes after the wrong guys, some serious investment in therapy might be more helpful than going on a reality show... she seems lonely.
