  1. It's driving me crazy how Meghan keeps referring to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as "AOC." They do it on Fox news as well. It's her Twitter handle, not her name. When Meghan calls her that it seems dismissive and disrepectful.

  2. The Amy storyline is just sad, not funny. The writers seem to hate Amy. Who would come to work 2 days after giving birth? Props to America Ferrara who does what she can with insultingly stupid storylines. Her speech to Glenn was brilliant.

    The other storylines were actually quite funny: Mateo and Cheyenne with the names and Garrett and Jonah interviewing. "You chose the wrong chair."

    The raccoon was awesome!

    I want to go back and watch that montage again, it made me so happy.

    Me too--it was a wonderful montage with a great song.

    Sad that the season is over so soon but really enjoyed the episode.

    Afraid to see where these characters might end up five years from now or wherever they flash forward to. Hope Darlene makes it into the straight life. Loved Lori and her outfit at end but wonder if she will get over the coke habit.

    Dorothy's demise was heartbreaking. We don't see how it happens and just get a scene of her body (many days?) later with detectives making jokes. She seemed so happy in her first scenes back working with the activist group.

    I'm still rooting for Larry and think that had to be a non-porn audition--too much dialogue for a porn audition it would seem.

    I was too distracted the whole episode by wondering how the hell Amy had no clue which hospital she would deliver at. Or not even know one hospital that is in-network for her insurance. Where the heck was her OB? There is zero percent chance Amy would totally ignore prenatal care. 

    I thought this too! It was so unrealistic that I thought the whole thing might turn out to be an anxiety dream that Amy was having and that she would wake up at end.

    That being said, the scenes between Amy and Jonah in hospital were quite sweet.

    Loved Garrett throwing card in room at end!

    BTW, I got the weirdest vibe that CC was (consciously or subconsciously) sort of trying to commit whatever the pimp equivalent is of suicide by cop.  

    I was thinking that too when I watched! First it was with the mob guys and then with Bobby.

    I was glad to see Lori get away from CC, but as others have pointed out here, now she's indebted to Kiki and the mobsters. I feel bad for her because I think she's stuck, period. 

    Abby, and Candy, might be the only ones who get out alive, when all is said and done.

    The Lori scene with CC in the hotel was so sad. I agree that she's stuck. I think Candy may be stuck as well because of the mobsters. Maybe Abby is the one who gets out--her upper or upper middle class background gives her advantages? Or maybe she will be the surprise death?

    I enjoyed this episode but it seems like there won't be too many happy endings in the finale. Perhaps Larry will be successful? His acting scene was a high point! And I'm rooting for Dorothy but she seems to be in danger. Darlene might still get out--I like her school friend.

    I continue to be super concerned for Lori. CC is a terrifying combination of insecure and violent, and if Lori ever really makes a move to break away from him, I see it ending VERY badly for her. He can see the writing on the wall, that Lori wont need him anymore very soon, and he hates it. 

    CC definitely seems like he's going to kill someone--Lori or maybe Dave or Dorothy. I'm afraid to see what happens!

    A lot of story lines this week. Vincent's trip was interesting but seemed to come out of nowhere. Maybe they are going to kill him off and want us to feel sorry for him with his dream of a simple, country life. And who exactly is trying to kill him?

    I thought in the beginning of the movie plot Candy had said she didn't want to take mob money at all. Now she's okay with it but not happy with how they treat her? Once she took the money she should have known they would have a say in decisions.

    I like Larry's dream of an acting career!

  7. Not the greatest episode but meetings in the break room always bring some laughs. I actually liked Garrett's Kelly impression the best...it was kind of crazy sounding!

    The Amy/Jonah plot was way too predictable. And I can't believe Sandra would give up Jerry so easily! 

    I did laugh at Carol pulling her shirt up..twice!

    It's interesting.  Last week, Lori seemed to be reaching out to Candy, and Candy basically blew her off.  This week, Candy is trying to do a little bonding and Lori blows her off. 

     

    I liked that Lori wasn't having the bonding and kept saying she didn't remember first time she met Candy. Maybe Lori is regretting getting emotional with Candy last week?

    The plot didn't progress very much but I still enjoyed the episode. Larry was great in all of his scenes (getting hit by police car and trying to keep running! paying Darlene to coach him!). I'm still interested to see what happens with Dorothy and hoping it doesn't end badly with CC or Rodney. A random note: loved Abby's outfit for Paul's opening.

  9. Please, no more Jerusha. Her scenes are painfully unfunny.

    Apart from that, a funny episode! Liked how upset everyone was that they weren't invited to shower. And Garrett always has best reactions and facial expressions. Here's hoping that he and Dina get back together in their relationship or whatever they called it!

    It's damned refreshing to get a female character onscreen who isn't beholden to address anyone's ideas about how sexual she should or shouldn't be, rather that she should simply exist as she wishes -- something afforded to male characters without question because they gots more important things to do.  Kim and Jimmy are in a relationship.  Nobody's questioned Jimmy not being a sexual being.  Sauce for the goose . . .

    Yes! I think Kim is one of the best characters. I would love to find out more about her past. Rhea Seehorn is amazing in this role.

    I'm proud of Ashley for standing her ground with C.C. but poking the bear may backfire and cause her demise. I also don't think it's smart for Candy to cast Lori when C.C. is still running her life -- she could get stuck without a lead actress halfway through filming.

    Agreed! It seems like there might be big confrontations coming--CC seems on the verge of losing it over either Ashley or Lori. Hope they get the better of him. Lori's speech about being owned by CC was quite moving but Candy didn't seem very sympathetic--she just wanted to use it for her movie.

    When did Big Mike turn into an antagonist with a trans lover? Did I miss something?

    Yes, that seemed to come out of the blue!

    My hat is off to the set designer and prop master.

    They do an amazing job with the street scenes--the people, the sounds, the trash everywhere. I've lived in NY since the 80's and they really capture the feel of those times.

  12. Kim has been breaking my heart. I love her character but in the last few episodes it seems that Jimmy is trying to go straight and Kim is dragging him into ill-advised con jobs. What is her end game? For how long does she think she can keep doing these cons?

    And what story is there in Paul and his ambitions anyway? I mean I like him, but the storyline there is basically: Can an upscale gay bar succeed? Does it need mob protection? is that it? Is he just a placeholder until next season when they'll use him as the point of entry into AIDS and the gay community?

    Totally agree! I like Paul but his storyline isn't going anywhere. I think they are saving him for an AIDS story unfortunately. And what's with his horrible wig?

    Loved the Larry scenes. That final pose for the photo shoot with the big smile--ha!

    They could lose the mobster scenes and still cut back on Vincent and Frankie scenes. I want more Lori, Candy, Darlene, and Ashley. And Abby--although I don't get that scene with the photographer--they have an open relationship? Abby didn't seem too happy about it.

  14. I really liked this episode. Less time spent on Vincent and Frankie which is an improvement. I found Abby annoying last season but I like the direction she's going in now. The scenes with Ashley were great and I was holding my breath during the encounter with CC.

    Lori was compelling and made out better than Candy in LA. Please move to LA!

    The mobsters bore me and I am worried that something bad is going to happen to Paul.
