  1. I think Clay had doubts all along. He mentioned to A.D. several times that he wasn't sure he was ready for marriage. That meant he wasn't ready. And he said "I could see myself being married to AD," not "I love her and can't wait to marry her," or "I'm scared, but I really want to be with her forever." And I think AD kept bringing up Clay's looks as a way to convince the public -- and maybe herself-- that he was still a catch. Despite his emotional immaturity and concerns about cheating on her.
  2. Yes, I had no idea she was with Callum. And I'm sure that jerk loved taking something away from Dexter. Seems like he's hated Dex for years--out of jealousy? Because Dexter was a bit of a jerk himself? Probably both. It saddens me to see Dexter's life take a downturn, but it's very realistic. And I loved the contrast to Tilly's family -- they're also exhausted and overwhelmed with their new baby, but they also love each other and work as a team. They still seemed somewhat happy.
  3. I agree. Has there been any marketing for this show? I only found it because it showed up on my suggestions feed. And it's such a well-written show with layered characters. She did look devastated. And sad. And hedge mazes always remind me of The Shining.
  4. I mean, the way they played that game would have sent me to the hills screaming. And the fact that Sophie doesn't recognize how awful her family is (except the twins) makes me question her character. She seems really nice but also very sheltered and entitled.
  5. Yes, I'm loving this so far, mainly because of Kate Winslet. The show is weird and cooky and mysterious, but I trust her so much as an actress that I know her performance is intentional and deliberate. I'm also curious about Zubak. What's he plotting? What's he hiding?
  6. I actually liked Keith and Evan' style the best. The archways and the separate--but still open--dining room were beautiful. If they'd had a walk-in pantry, I think Egypt and Mike would've given them the win. Same. I like them and their show, and I'm totally rooting for them. Heh. I said that the entire episode. Do people really drink that much wine at home? To the point where you'd need an entire wall of wine? An entire wine room? I liked some of the Baumler's kitchen, but definitely not the side table or the curved wall. Which makes me sad because a lot of work went into curving that wall, and it was done well. It just looked stupid. Or like something you'd see in an office building.
  7. I saw that. It was hilarious. I agree. Amy was especially beautiful, and I love her mom. AD always looks pretty, but I thought her dresses were a little too form-fitting and sexy. But that's just me. I'm old.
  8. Ever since reveal day, they seemed more buddy-buddy than lovers. But Kenneth also turned into a gaslighting a**hole. Weird ending to that story. This season has so many manipulative men and insecure women. Jeramy made it seem like Laura got mad at him for "nothing" and then told Jimmy that she was the problem and wasn't willing to fight for their relationship. What??? And I agree that Chelsea seems to have a lot of mental issues and definitely should not have been on this show. She honestly reminds me of season 2 Danielle. BUT, Jimmy is not totally innocent either. He's continued to talk about Jessica ever since they left the pods, which would make anyone feel insecure. Even Trevor sucks, and he was Mr. Nice Guy in the pods. Agreed. My interpretation of that conversation was that Clay tried to tell AD as gently as possible that he wasn't ready to get married. He likes her, he seems to respect her, but he just isn't ready. I hope she knows that already and doesn't get blindsided at the altar. Who did that happen to? Bartisse's fiance? (I can't remember her name).
  9. I thought this episode was visually beautiful. Props to the cinematographer and the editor. I learned a lot but still have soooo many questions. I'm glad there are 3(?) more episodes. And I keep waiting for the reveal that one of the male characters is Imogene's father.
  10. IMO, we get just enough of "terrible Ava" that she doesn't overwhelm the show. That would become tiring. In the episodes where she does get more screen time, we do see her learn something or have some sort of character arc. I wish I could. But many are. Girls, too. Ala, in the Big Leagues (MLB).
  11. What did she say? That he's going to need an EpiPen? Yikes. This. Even back in the pods, I was screaming, "Run, AD, run!" Clay never seemed into her as a person, and he never seemed to care about making her happy or even telling her how he felt about her. It was always about him and his ego.
  12. I agree about Trevor. I think he and Chelsea would've been a great match. And Jimmy didn't say, "I'm not ready to be a step-father" because he was worried about audience reaction, maybe? But that's a valid feeling, and I wish he would've been honest with Jessica. And all of the women are doing too much to their faces. They're in their 20s and early 30s, and it seems most of them have lip fillers. And at least one (Chelsea) gets Botox. I'm not judging them, but IMO they don't need it. Most of the men are barely more than average-looking. Why are the women expected to look like, well, Megan Fox? "Lips, butts, and stuff." tmClay
  13. Well said. I never believed Navarro committed suicide--more that she just disappeared for a while. I like the (possibly) happy ending of her and Danvers being complicated friends. Leaving Qaavik though? *sigh*
  14. Rose is the manic-pixie Alaskan woman! I'm going to fan-wank that the cleaning women who went into the underground cave found more evidence than just a star-shaped drill bit. And for me, seeing a "real" reason for people committing homicide (money, revenge, passion, etc.) is more satisfying that the countless movies and TV shows about psychotic serial killers who commit brutal murders just because. I loved the finale overall. The character development of Navarro and Liz, especially. About 90% of my questions about the mysteries were answered. I still want to know the significance of the oranges, what the crystalized foot/hoof print was under the counter (where Liz bumped her head), and who left Annie's tongue at Tsalal. The characters are what kept me on the edge of my seat the entire season. And the Indigenous community played a central role in the story. It wasn't simply a backdrop for the character arcs and hero's journey of the non-Indigenous characters.
  15. Do you mean that she won't be able to return to tv, which she really wants to do -- if so, I totally agree with you. I know Wendy needs to make money, but her mental/physical health and her sobriety are crucial. I don't think being in front of the camera is the place for that. Makes me wonder why so many people in the entertainment and sports worlds go broke. All of those years that Wendy was on TV-- she doesn't have anything saved or invested? I know she went through an expensive divorce, but still. And where are her family and friends? I suppose the movie might go into that. Or did "I think Wendy may be beyond recovery at this point" mean she should be left to die??? Jeez, I hope not.
