  1. She's so cute! After the speculation after the casting (she's voiced by Alice Lee who is Korean-American), I'm so happy they confirmed this.
  2. There’s So Much To Love About ‘My Adventures With Superman’s New Take on Lois Lane I thought this paragraph would be of particular interest here: I loved that so much! Clark is so bad at this. He needs Lois to know his secret if only so she can coach him and help cover. I hope so. I did not enjoy him being left out and ignored in this most recent episode.
  3. I loved Lois' fancy outfit in this episode. It was just so her to not go with a slinky dress or anything revealing. And, of course, Clark couldn't take his eyes off of her.
  4. I agree. When she had her apparent realization in therapy, I was excited to see where the story line would go. So I was disappointed they just skipped right over everything. I wonder if the actress wasn't available or they had to cut scenes? After they'd given the guy friend so much screen time to deal with wanting to be a one woman guy, I was expecting more.
  5. From what I've read elsewhere, the problem is profit (of course). A bank would rather spend their time on a loan for a more expensive house/condo/whatever than on a $100K sale where they're not going to make much money (plus, I'm sure there's some racism there too). There was a woman in season one who basically had the house designed for her and had to jump through a ton of hoops to close. And she worked at a bank so she would, presumably, have known who to talk to and what steps to take. I can't imagine what the process is like for someone completely unfamiliar. Detroit needs more people like the ones working at the credit union in the article, willing to take the time on small stuff and helping their borrowers understand what's going on. I'm really glad Keith and Evan seem to be doing something to help beyond just improving the houses.
  6. I couldn't believe Mavis had any doubt at all about Luca's commitment to her after he went to church with her and her mother and sat quietly through the mother's "prayer". If that morning didn't chase him away screaming, I feel like nothing would.
  7. I agree. That's one of the reasons I'm so frustrated that Bargain Block doesn't discuss any of the issues their buyers face (although maybe the partnership with the credit union will come up in season 3?). I'm not sure what the timing is between filming, airing, and finalizing a sale so including follow up may not be possible but they could maybe do a recap show about the previous season.
  8. Some behind the scenes info on the problems the buyers face with financing. Again (I feel like a broken record, sorry), I really wish stuff like this would get discussed more on the show. It's a part of the story they're telling. Just fixing up the houses and seeing them at affordable prices isn't going to help if the rest of the system is stopping people from closing. I'm glad they recognized the issue and are doing something to help by partnering with the credit union. And I hope we get to see some of that whenever season 3 starts.
  9. I just finished season 1 (auto-play is so dangerous) and really enjoyed it. I loved Mavis and all of her people and really liked that, even though she's obviously the star/lead, the other characters all had their own story lines and character arcs (I thought Marley's realization could have used more time though). The only character I would have cut is the roommate who was pointlessly annoying (although the adorable white kitten could have been in every scene and I'd have been happy). I agree. I loved that moment for Natasha. And for Mavis to get some validation for her vision of making anyone, no matter their shape, feel amazing in her designs. Plus, that dress was gorgeous and perfect and, if I were Natasha, I'd never take it off.
  10. I don't know what time these are added to Max but I remembered it was friday (I've been counting the days) too early this morning. It was a bit crushing to still only see 2 episodes. The show (and Clark) is still super extremely cute. I love the main 3 so much. I'm disappointed in Cat Grant's portrayal as being shallow/gossipy although I think that's because I know her more from the Arrowverse Supergirl show and not the comics. I hope we get some follow up on Lois' interview. Will her notes get "scooped"?
  11. I just watched the first 2 episodes and they were cute. I love the Newskids Legion! I just read through the first Kon-El Superboy series where the clones of the original Legion make a lot of appearances so I loved the shout out. And that the new group of kids isn't all white boys (with a token Black boy). It's nice that, even though the show seems to be geared towards a younger, non-comic book fan, the people behind the scenes know and respect the source material and throw things in for the viewers who will notice.
  12. The trailer for the John Wick spin off series was released last week(ish) and I had to remind myself constantly that, as much as I love the movies, there is no way I'm watching Mel Gibson in anything. Especially something he was cast in after everything.
  13. Has that been confirmed? For some reason, I was thinking Angie hadn't reported him (she and Will didn't seem to have much faith (heh) in the system in the flashback episode). I'm sure, sadly, there were other girls who might have gone to the authorities (and been believed).
  14. I was a little concerned that she mentioned Amanda was in it with her (she did, right?). If so, Amanda has definitely changed. I hope we get more about what happened in Faith's mother's unit. Was Evelyn's claim that she was just a whistleblower correct? Or was she hoping by turning in her people, she could get away clean? Amanda said Evelyn should have expected this outcome and would never have been allowed to stay which does not support the whistleblower claim. What exactly did she expect Amanda to do with the information that Evelyn had found corruption? Amanda was right when she pointed out she had to do everything by the book. And that they referred to his uncle as the "third nugget" at the hardware store. Will really is good with kids. His imdb picture is adorable! I am not enjoying Angela's storyline at all. It can't end well. I was especially annoyed with her sponsor promising to cover for her with their Captain. How was he planning on doing that if the fiancée was filling out a complaint? Plus, the Captain should know what's going on. We know Angie is right about this guy but cops covering for each other is not a good thing in general.
  15. (why doesn't the internet have a sarcasm font? It would be so useful (sorry)) With the whole Cop City mess in Atlanta, the real life APD is not coming off great at the moment. Back to the show, I loved the blue jacket the GBI boss was wearing when yelling at Amanda and Will. It was a very nice plaid.
  16. He already knew they were in the fridge since he'd looked when Faith was in the shower. The clothes were pretty convenient though. Quoting myself now that I've remembered how corrupt the APD is (in the show, not real life (obviously)). Will was able to clean out part of it but I'm sure there are still a lot of bad cops on the force willing to believe (or pretend to believe) that Will's new partner was a murderer. And we've established the big GBI boss is crooked (he definitely knew what that tech company was doing in their systems) and has a reason to resent all of Amanda's team.
  17. Will commented on the witness's really nice car so I think he was being paid off by the corrupt cop while he searched for the evidence (he might even have been helping look considering he was on the murdered cop's property regularly). Once the guy being framed escaped, however, bad cop had to get rid of the witness and he took the opportunity to frame Faith as well. I'm not sure what happened with the old lady witness but she seemed easily freaked out so I could see her not being able to describe enough of what happened when Faith was taken, at least not right away. By the time she told someone about the gun, bad cop had it and would probably claim the old woman was tricked or couldn't see all that well. (I can explain away a few issues with this episode but not the fact that everyone immediately agreed with bad cop that Faith was guilty. That was stupid)
  18. I was thinking it was Charlie and Em's childhood home. Charlie knew exactly how to sneak in and Em went straight to the entrance when her daughter told her about the strange woman under the porch. Didn't Frost, Sr. say something about knowing Charlie was from the area? I interpreted him having Cliff bring her to AC as part of the payment. Not only was he going to give her a ton of money for this one meeting but she can also stop running now and visit the family she hasn't seen in a year. But I might be reaching to explain the writers just want Charlie to interact with her sister and not bothering to put in much thought into making the reunion make sense.
  19. Thank you! That raises my opinion on Cliff's intelligence back up. Although now I'm wondering about Charlie. She was around long enough after Natalie and her husband's murders to know that about the gun. Cliff taking it was one of her big "aha" moments.
  20. I loved how excited Gigi was for her sister to come judge. It was cute. I also loved her black and white jacket/dress.
  21. This elimination is one of the reasons I hate team challenges. Either the team members are competing against each other (if only one of them goes home) and have to answer a bunch of questions about who was the weak link or you end up with an situation like this one where Megan was saved by Deontré when (in my opinion) she should have been the one to go home. Her contribution was so much worse than James and Danny's collaboration.
  22. Since Cliff had duplicate guns, it was pretty stupid of him to shoot Ron Perlman with the one he'd used for the murders that started all of this (that is the one he used, right?). The recording of his meeting with Adrien Brody tied him to Natalie's murder, the gun then tied him to Ron Perlman's. Peacock started playing the first episode of Columbo after the credits of this and it starts with a guy taking a gun that looks just like Cliff's out of his glove box. The volume jumped when the show changed though and I couldn't reach that remote without disturbing the cat so I didn't end up watching to see if there were any more similarities. Those made me really happy. And annoyed because now I want to rewatch. I agree with the many people here that the dress thing was very frustrating. Especially after the visit to her sister. Charlie should have ditched it at the first opportunity and I wish they'd explained why she didn't.
  23. I agree! I also liked that Tim Blake Nelson's wife was a gorgeous, dark skinned woman. Most shows/movies would have cast someone lighter.
  24. Ooh, I hadn't thought of a possible drug test. Yes! Throw all of the charges at him. There'd be physical evidence to collect but, with the towers down, I don't think the police would be able to pull his ankle monitor history. The call from Trey's PO warning him not to go anywhere and to be at home at 7 when things were back up is what prompted Trey to leave in the first place. If he thought they'd be able to see his excursion after the fact, I doubt he would have left. This might explain why the news report was so unclear. The authorities may be trying to hide her existence/survival so didn't release everything. I think they'd mostly act as sedatives but I'm pretty sure Jimmy identified them as something he shouldn't have had (benzos?). I got the impression he had a history of having illegal substances on hand all the way back to high school (Trey convinced him he'd contributed to Chloe's death by supplying her with bad cocaine?).
  25. When first watching, I assumed what Laura was seeing were busts made by Arthur. I realized later that, as awesome as that would have been (her victims playing such a direct part in her breaking), it wouldn't make sense. Arthur probably never created one of himself and I have no idea how Charlie and her friend would have gotten their hands on Max.
