  1. Bold got a good laugh from me as well as a resounding yes! Ive always hated filler episodes (especially when so much needs to be explored and answered) but to make it boring seems shameful. AHS has devoted fans (keeping it honest I’m not one- though long live Asylum) and it pisses me off Murphy and friends don’t try harder and do more. This season had so much potential and to its credit I am still here...but this epidode sucked. Halloween Night- such an opportunity wasted. I never saw the Versace thing and don’t know Fern but I am a female. For what it’s worth I don’t find him hot (Cheyenne for the win) however I found him very compelling initially this season. Lately not so much. And reading here it sounds like he’s written at length of his “method” playing this character which seems premature at best and a bit overkill at worst. Let the viewers decide. We don’t always need intel (own gripe about today’s world- ignore me). I don’t get why Sandra Bernhardt was selected but she was terrible. And we are at a devil worshipping service and the confession is stealing money from the register and similar. That humor falls flat. Let’s get some horrifying satanism behavior if you’re going there. Funny not needed- scare and creep the hell out of us on Halloween. I felt more during Eyes Wide Shut (Kubrick I love you, but...). Go there if you’re willing. And that odd scene where Michael slit throats of those 2 felt entirely out of place and oddly non emotional when it should have been horrific to view.
  2. I can see why you’d feel that way about Regina and share some of that too. My own desire for more Regina stems from I feel she and Rome are the characters I’m most interested in. So much so I could tell I’m on a different wavelength than the show runners this week. When Regina found the note (pause- I take issue with this plot contrivance of her finding his suicide note. For dogs sake did no one ever have parents growing up in this show? You destroy evidence. These asshats left joints on the kitchen counter when mom and pops were out of town I guess). But anyway-for for the first time I was choked up at Rome and his confession of sadness. I felt the actor nailed it. If I was over that show it would have been end scene cut to previews for next episode. The showrunners think I’m more invested in Eddie and Delilah and cut to her (fucking weepy looking with the D Face) even at his concert. They also think I want to hear Ed sing like they did at the Peach Pit on 90210. For a 43 year old Delilah is quite reactive. I’m pretty sure I’d sit and really think things through before revealing to Eddie he’s the father. Telling that with the caveat of “we keep this to ourselves” is not something to be handled backstage at a rando bar. Wonder if the writers are sitting around thinking how they’ll do the reveal. A senior writer will have a moment of clarity and go I know!!! Delilah will get a paternity test and Theo will find it amongst his report card! That’s what all adults do with shit they want to make sure no one finds!
  3. It was not a typo. Maybe a Bravo lead in they’ll act like Gina wins but mark my words, whether the generall public (like you and me) agree or not - Tamra will always win.
  4. What bothered me the most this episode is Kelly berating Shannon when they sat down to dinner. The hell? And I’ve really grown to like Kelly but that was poorly handled. Maybe I’m a fool but I buy Shannon. I do not think she’s crazy and I think she’s going through a really tough time and being honest about it. And I wasn’t born with a silver spoon nor have I been divorced (or even married!) yet I oddly relate to her. How’s that for fucked up? I hate Tamra so much. And I’d like to thank my employer for letting me work from home when I want to as well as Bravo rerunning old eps to reinforce that. Gah she’s a vile bitch. What’s kind of funny. When I saw the previews where Tamra takes Gina down I did an audible “oh hell yes”. So I acknowledge she’s a snake but like when her victims are on my shit list. I like Emily. A lot. I want the kid to stick around.
  5. Yeah and I wish someone had told me that early on. You hear in media or whatever “relationships are work” which yeah, I guess to a degree but fun is so much better. But I pretty much burned my 20s and a good part of my 30s awfully serious about relationships and regret that now. Like even if I had a great time I’d go home and lay in bed and replay it finding criticisms. I definitely let some good ones go bc of my “high standards” which I prided myself in and now look back and see I was wrong. When I let go and realized I’m far from perfect so who am I to want perfection. But more than that- I was being somewhat silly judging and ticking off pluses or minuses and saw people like myself- getting through this world best we know how- I enjoyed dating so much more. I’m sure the guys did too! I let it go and now pretty much try to live driven by acceptance, forgiveness, kindness, and lots of laughs. And it’s so much better. I still have my slip ups for sure but it changed my world.
  6. Yes! They’re “precious” which is where my believability ends and my eye roll commences. I need less hot air balloons and one on one baskebatll (and really- couldn’t we write her at least being a high school all star- and not big collegiate all star?) and more realistic talk. I’ve never known a cliche like they are and if I met one they’d seem transparent and I’d see myself out. I get deflection and ignoring the elephant. Hell I probably do it on the daily. But if I really put myself in this situation both are written in a non believable way and my end result is I don’t care. I don’t care if she does the treatment or not and I don’t care what his reaction is.
  7. It all sounds a bit heavy. Education and gender, fundamental incompatiblies, agreeing to disagree. Date three. It’s fine to talk about important issues especially if that is interesting to both parties. But I’m willing to wager you guys also like in some form movies, sports, television, music- common denominators where laughter can ensue. I want to laugh and have fun with a partner. I also want to explore more serious sides but I really prefer that on the lesser extent. Isn’t life serious and hard enough? To me there are few better things than when my side hurts from laughing with someone I love. All that said I’d go out again but whether you get off work or not unless he goes all serious I’d really try to skew it more fun. Sounds like there is a good base there and I’ll add for some humor- something turns me on about the name Slow and Easy :) And with that said I’d also like to acknowledge the above is my own opinion and serious and heartfelt conversations may be your number one and all of the above is meaningless and I get that too should it be the case. Wish you luck no matter
  8. Yes! think this through. I’m 43, 2 kids and recently widowed. I am having a known affair with a known friend. I miss a period or two. I call a good friend involved in of all of the above and say “can I take the test there and even if it’s negative I need to make this known”. None hits litmus test. It just continues the poor writing.
  9. Bolded got a legit laugh for me - it’s so true. I’d like this show a lot more sans the cutesy. I’d prefer the my GPS says 38 minutes scene to play out him saying “it’s cool- the show will last an hour and you’ll see most and be here when it’s done” as opposed to witty ole Edster getting the ladies riled about about school shenganigans. Id like Maggie and Gary less adorable and then maybe I’d believe they even like each other and have interest. As it stands, she’s the equivalent of D’Onofrio in Criminal Inent with her mad psychology skills to read and call every scene spot on. Grape soda? Ahhh, I see what you’re doing here Gary. And I hate you for it until I quickly don’t Just let the actors play it straight with realistic writing. Which they do with Rome so they CAN but they often give in to tropes and it makes me not like as much as I want to. This is random as hell but I’ve never had a kid and minimal babysitting experience and I knew little Theo was saying “put my tree on” when he lifted his arms up. As said here and I cannot co-sign enough Delilah is the weakest link. I wish I had a friend who watched it so we could each do “Delilah” faces because it’s a I have a migraine on the verge of tears nearly 98% look. She’s so one note and I feel the writers want us to have a lot of investment. They hired the wrong actress. Now with all that bitching you’ll say why watch this Knox? Well, because I like the bones of this show. There’s good stuff here and I by no means hate it just wish they’d cut the eye roll worthy scenes and show us real life. And damn it more Regina.
  10. https://dinnerthendessert.com/slow-cooker-macaroni-and-cheese/ That one is no boil and no Velveeta. I think if I did it I’d sub the mozzarella for a gruyere or fontina. It’s a pretty fast cook for slow cooker so may not work for your needs but looks pretty good and conducive to doubling I’d think since it only calls for 8 oz pasta (hate using a half box but may just be me).
  11. For fucks sake if we are calling her plus sized.
  12. I don’t typically repost long ones but yes, yes and yes to this. @tiftgirlI am so sorry for your loss. This may sound odd but when my dog Scout died I bought a little stuffed animal I fell in love with. I slept and cradled that little guy for a long time. Coming home to my empty apartment made me feel unsure of what to do and I hated it. And I left Scouts stuff out a long time until I was ok to remove them. The little guy helped. He now lives on an ottoman in my parents living room. But he got me through a lot.
  13. I am laughing so much at my mistake- thank you! Suddenly I’m the mom character in SNL who gets celebrities names wrong.
  14. Did Madison call Dylan McDermott a FILF during tear jerker scene? Hilarious and co sign if so. As others have stated- turns out she was good in this- as was Behold (great name). I thought it was pretty solid. The Moira scene felt longer than a Stevie Nicks ballad for me but other than that pretty good. It feels like they’re caring a lot more this season and I’m really appreciative of that. This is an aside but in the intro kmow when it does that chilling noise (I’m an English major- not music sorry). I always think to myself egotistically Id want my name to hit then. But Emma Roberts I know gets it and Falchuk and Murphy don’t so I guess it’s just me. But the impact- I’ve loved it since first time I watched AHS!
  15. This show is beyond bad. My DVR caught it from last season. No one is believable and it tries to be cutesy. It’s like if Michelle or Stephanie from Full House wrote a sitcom.
  16. A smoked meatloaf with pepper jack in the middle. And mashed potatoes and peas.
  17. I can’t describe how funny I found this.
  18. It’s as old as Stevie Nicks gray faux leather feathered jacket. You don’t hurt or kill animals and you don’t kill little kids (preteen seem to be ok). i think it’s because the biology prof was a dick. Had he shown an ounce of kindness there might have been a sentence of outcry. He sucked. The frog just wants to live an innocent life on a lily pad. So I was ok seeing his intestines come out via the antichrist.
  19. I admire that. Thanks to everyone saying this is a flashback.. So-with that it seems the main people survive? Then what was the point of the beginning? The Antichrist grows longer hair? Ill sit back and watch and am still very much in but what?
  20. It’s funny I’ve watched this show for years and never noticed “buncha” until reading here and now its hilarious how much she says it! Also in a little marathon she said “also known as” a lot. Like “a quarter cup also known as 4 tablespoons”. Less annoying but repetitive and kind of weird too. I don’t like the contrived farm scenes. For one they’re boring but I don’t enjoy watching the cattle work (or whatever) at all. Recently they did something where it looked like they had smoke coming off of them whIch I never want to see again. I don’t ever want to see them herded into trucks. Relaxing on the land is ok but that’s it. With the huge money she has you’d think she’d watch an episode and go “oh shit-do I really look like that.” Not sure if she’s a true ginger but shorter and brown I think would be a good call. I kind of feel bad harping on the physical but sometimes her appearance takes me out of the scene. Im not as offended by her food as most here (hope it’s ok to still post). Sometimes I find her food absurd but as a general rule ok. The other day she did a burger that definitely got a wtf from me though. It had Mac and cheese and all kinds of other stuff. That’s ridiculous, At a very basic level I find the Mac and cheese she made quickly loses flavor as it sits. It’s meant for instant eating and would just be blah on a burger. That’s the least of the sins of that monstrosity but it irked me because it wouldn’t even be good if that was your fancy.
  21. Yeah I had so much second hand embarrassment for the singing scene. You know it’s funny I have been so checked out and can’t get engaged to season finale since Asylum and I’m really digging this season and look forward to each episode. Since this is essentially an anonymous site I will ask this because I know how stupid I’m going to sound. Yet I don’t want to google bc of spoiler potential etc and really don’t want to rewatch. I think because of my assumption I’d hate this season I didn’t pay enough attention early on. In a timeline is what we’re watching today before or after the apocalypse? Please forgive my ignorance and thank you if anyone answers. No one in my real life watches or I’d ask. My word Cheyenne is so smoking hot. And a compelling actor onscreen. They must bring him back.
  22. I love cats and have always been a single owner car when I had one. I didn’t realize they bonded like this and am so thankful the awesome lady took both! What about little gray deciding Red Baron box is a good bed. I know we’d get along just from that.
