I wouldn't mind seeing him interact with Hope. And he isn't related to 90% of Salem, which helps the dating pool. (At least it helps me, when mentally reviewing family trees trying to figure out which people can actually date.)

My biggest issue with what Johnny's doing is what if Chanel was pregnant? Would he have abandoned her and their kid? All new parents and parents-to-be stress about how their own upbringing will impact this new life they're responsible for. Opting out on your partner without warning is really sucky. Talk about a low blow. I like Johnny and Chanel but I'm not sure how she gets past this.

He should. Can you imagine the ratings? I'd definitely watch it live.

It wasn't my favorite USA show, but I liked it well enough to watch a reboot.

I caught the Maarva picture too but thought it looked like a photo/screen capture of the hologram? Whatever format it was, I really wanted to know how they got from the funeral to one year later. But I respect how this is a show that forces you to pay attention. You can't watch it with one eye on your phone or you'll never keep up. (Even paying attention I couldn't keep up half the time without the closed captions.)

I'm from Iowa and lived in Houston in the 80s. Austin is (was?) beautiful and very unlike the other places in Texas I've been to. It was full of hills and trees, artists and friendly people. Until lately, I would have loved to live there.

Tbh, I was puzzled by why anyone would think Drew was really Shiloh but today something in his idea for an inspiring documentary has me rethinking. It's still ridiculous and unnecessary but as an explanation for his repellent behavior, I can see why people are leaning that way. I missed a big chunk of the show yesterday when they aired something about the pope. Could someone explain why Emma was in the dumpster?

The best endings are where you can imagine the characters continuing on their adventures together. They nailed it the first time and it would be disappointing if they didn't this time. 🤞

I didn't get the feeling that "Blink" was a comment on this Doctor or a Doctor-lite episode in general. The fans obviously loved him. For me, it was RTD being a bit miffed that after all this time, the fans steadfastly love it.

I did laugh at the "Blink" mention. All those episodes since and it still reigns supreme.

Racism is real and shouldn't be ignored but right now it's a useful tool of the billionaire class. They're willing to let the country destroy itself to wring out every last dollar. I wonder if they had gotten their precious tax cuts in the first few weeks, they might have let some of the cowed Republicans fight back against the destruction of the government. 🤷‍♀️

I liked East of Eden. Grapes of Wrath was depressing but I don't regret reading it. The Pearl, otoh, loathed it - mainly because we had to dissect every freaking sentence. At least it was short. My problem with novels like Catcher in the Rye and many others from the 1950s - 1970s era is more of a personal thing. Early on I became completely turned off by the focus on (mostly white) male angst. To a degree, I still am. Which probably isn't fair, because some of my favorite people are men but growing up poor in the 60s and 70s, there were too many predators to be dodged to be overly sympathetic. I'm so grateful that kids today can go to a library and find relatable books.

Isn't Vance owned by most of the same people backing YKW? And Vance doesn't have the same ability to terrorize the Congress, so until their tax cuts are locked in, they need 47.

What I don't understand is that vaccination itself is basically a natural process. Don't they have those elementary school books about Pasteur anymore? The dairy maids who got cow pox (a milder disease) and thus avoided the deadly and disfiguring small pox? And are they really going to embrace cancer too when/if mRNA research produces viable treatments? Of course, with all the federal agencies, grants and research disruptions it all may be moot.

Same. And I used to like Kristina. Though truthfully, my secondary motivation is to never suffer thru Ava ordering a draft beer again.
