    S01.E08: Tucked Up in Newport

    in The Gilded Age

    People that aren't Marion: "That lawyer of yours is super sketchy. He is working that social ladder like its a stripper pole. Watch your back."

    Marion: "Red flags. Those would look lovely in my bouquet."

    People that aren't Marion: "Are you really that stupid?"

    Marion: "Totes. Getting married to a bland dude that I don't know is exactly what weak ass rebel poseurs like myself do to make a point. Viva la revolution!"

    Are Mamie or Grace Gummer available next season for a Marian recast so their little sister can explore other off camera career opportunities?

    Armstrong should spend her days off working on her nuance. If she had an eeevil mustache, she'd be twirling it. 

    Creepy Doll Party lady is all about those sick social burns. LOL.

    Peggy's story. Secret marriage and dead baby. Yawn. Also, stop crying Marian. Not everything is about you. 

    Don't be jelly, John Q Adams. Do you really want to be f*** buddies with a dude that dresses like an alternate in the Newport Barbershop Quartet? Find you someone whose more into Bachelors than Beards. 

    Bertha's Chicken Walk of Shame was hilarious. 

    On Law & Order: Gilded Age. It was the Dorota in the Bloomingdales with the deceitful Dixon's charge card. Even Jack McCoy couldn't win a case that quickly. Also, I feel like the writers got super bored with the court case and just wanted George to walk with a preposterously easy solution to his problem. 

    I have a theory that next week when Dumdum in Yellow goes to run off with Raikes, it will be George that saves her from ruin as a thank you for being at the right counter at the right time. This will force Agnes to acknowledge the Russells which will cause all kinds of issues next season. But eventually Agnes and Bertha will end up besties trading barbs like the Dowager Countess and Cousin Isobel. 

    Yes please!  You just know those 2 are destined to become firm friends lol

    Zach and Tori

    in Little People Big World

    · Edited by BellyLaughter

    Where’s their consideration for the teachers at Jackson’s school?!? Tori is a teacher for crying out loud. 
     

    I guess Jesus is their face mask… 🙄
     

    I’m shocked at this especially when they have often talked about the difficulty and risk of having to intubate a little person on the very show that pays their bills… talk about a low IQ response.

    I just can't with all this anymore. For a generation that's so hung up on not being labeled they sure have a ton of them. They, them, cis, non binary, gay, bi, boomers, gen x y and z. The list goes on and on. Please, all they want is to be labeled. Well fine then if I get to choose to be whatever I want I identify as a 30 year old woman with a hot ass.

    Glorious!!

    S01.E03: When in Rome...

    She was slut-shamed out of her building (after one of her trysts accidentally let in a robber behind them) and had to move into the meat-packing district.  An extremely transphobic episode followed.

    I think Carrie saying that at least she and Big were happy “at the end” was extremely telling, especially given the callbacks to the badness of the affair.

    I also don’t buy Charlotte saying Carrie and Big were the happiest couple she knows, given that in the first movie, which I just rewatched, everyone is taken aback by Charlotte stating that she is happy “every day” in her marriage.

    So Big first wife gets nothing?  Where, yet AGAIN, in the original series, Carrie ends up stalking her, complete with coming up with a fake children’s book proposal about Cathy and her magic cigarettes, which admittedly was hilarious.  Will the rest of the show be Carrie stalking all of Big’s paramours?

    I can’t remember where I initially read it, but I’m okay with the fan interpretation that both Big and Carrie are terrible people and deserve each other rather than inflicting themselves on the rest of the general population.

      Hide contents

    This is apparently Willie Carson’s last episode and I do not think it was the best send-off for him.

    I also thought Charlotte was really dumb not to stay for the afterparty when it would have been a great opportunity to talk to Che about what’s going on with Rose.  But that would’ve interfered with whatever is going on with Che and Miranda, I guess.

    I’ve stated it before, I’ll state it again - it is ridiculous to do this plotline when (1) they’ve already established Miranda as not being queer in that episode where she pretends to date another woman at the firm for clout, (2) we already went through this plotline with Sam and Maria and it was…not good and (3) Cynthia Nixon’s public persona should not dictate her character.  Plus, I liked them more in this episode, even if I thought few of their standup jokes were funny (this was a prime example of “chapter,” a term someone coined for audiences not actually laughing at something but applauding its wokeness) but I am not entirely sold on Che.  It would be hilariously awesome if Miranda called up aforementioned woman at the firm and was like “I’m queer now, wanna hang?”  

    Also, for whatever problems Miranda and Steve had, they always seemed like they had a decent sex life.  Maybe they didn’t want to do another ED plotline after Trey but coming up with some physical thing would be better than “we just don’t have sex anymore and we’re cool with it!”

    I’m surprised Carrie didn’t dig up John’s body to cut off his thumb to access the cell phone’s Touch ID.  She was seriously losing it in this episode.

    I thought that whole scene at Che’s show was gonna lead to Charlotte and Rose’s storyline evolving … not Miranda becoming Cynthia Nixon…

    The White Lotus: 8 guests plus staff at a resort behaving badly. Nine Perfect Strangers: 9 guests plus staff at a spa behaving badly. Neither is very good. 

    Yep. The White Lotus was a steaming pile of overrated crap but this isn't any better.

    The concept scared me to death.   Criminal Minds has more than enough horror for me 

    Probably a sensible decision then! Silence of the Lambs is a full on movie experience!

    There are two episodes left.  This show is too depressing for 2021.   I never watched the movie it’s based on. I am not interested in Buffalo Bill, Katherine, the attorney General, any of the various storylines. In fact, I don’t think I am going to watch it anymore. 

    You never watched Silence of the Lambs? Curiosity didn’t grab you?? There’s so much tie in to that movie in this series I’m stunned you weren’t even curious?!

    Can they drop the scenes with the Senator and her insufferable daughter.

    Especially as this version of Katherine Martin does not in the slightest resemble the awesome Katherine Martin from the movie.....I can't imagine that Katherine being so insufferable.

    Here is my current fear for a S2: Zabel’s mother will bring a lawsuit against the department because she already doesn’t like Mare and will realize Mare was not sufficient backup for her son. I would not enjoy a civil trial dominated second season a la Big Little Lies. 

    Thankfully this is being called a limited series.....I doubt there will be a season 2!

    S06.E15: All Sales Final

    in Superstore [V]

    As bad as they wrote Amy out of the show ..... they more than made up for it to bring her back.  I really, really loved what she said to Jonah at the end.  

    Lots of great moments but my fave may have been Sandra circling the names and putting A.M next to hers.  After all the shit she's taken it is so good to see Sandra owning it!! Oh and her absolute disgust at Amy's admission that she made a mistake not marrying Jonah... all hail Queen Sandra!

    I find this show interesting, but also super baffling.

     

    How is Emma in witness protection? The bad guy was already locked up? Who did they think they needed to protect her from? Also, what's the point of trying to get her to remember when it appears the bad guy would tell anyone who asks who he killed, how he did it, and why he did it? (I mean, yes, he messed with the parents but they play plenty of clips of him talking to psychiatrists about how and why he did it).

     

    And if he did admit to killing a number of women, and their bodies were all recovered, why was Mary so insistent that Theresa was "taken" by the serial killer? She's delusional if she thinks a serial killer merely kidnapped her daughter instead of killing her- despite killing numerous other young women around the same time- and has kept her alive and safe all this time, and Theresa would just saunter home someday, completely un-traumatized by her seven years as a captive.

     

    And in what world would the FBI let their psychiatrist just stash someone in witness protection in his own cabin? Wouldn't babysitting their witness fall to like a field agent or something, in a previously cleared safe house? Did I miss something important in an early episode and Emma isn't actually in witness protection and the doctor isn't actually with the FBI? Because that would make a lot more sense.

     

    I don't mind the whole "woman with checkered past wants to just keep her nose out of trouble yet winds up stepping into a bigger mess inadvertently" premise of the show , but there is just too much going on and too many conflicting or nonsensical storylines. The whole thing feels like a mess that could have been cleaned up with just a few changes.

     

    ETA: I did find the relationship between the creepy doctor and his wife intriguing. He seems completely bored with her but then he also takes the trouble of stalking her and listening in on her therapy sessions. And I can't tell if his possessiveness regarding Emma is romantically fueled, or if he just sees all his women patients as his own personal pet projects.

    It’s almost as if 2 seperate shows were spliced together but I have to admit I quite liked it and would like to see a second season.... not many tv shows have left me with this feeling of confusion and fascination.  I also never thought Amy Brenneman would play a character to truely loath so there’s that....
