Actually the scene where Cosette sees convicts is accidental, not a field trip. Her reaction in the book is just as disgusting as in this series and makes Valjean sad but aware he can never tell her the truth about his past. Cosette always needed a good smack in the moments of the book and in this one, but today, Valjean would have made it a teachable moment about compassion, which I still believe he should have.

Mariah’s whole attitude makes me wonder if this is her reaction to having been raised in such an anti-LGBT environment. That girl is angry.

Sophie is they type of person who is all, “I am living this horrible life but it would make a lot more sense to me if other people also had to suffer to make me feel better about my own horrible choices.” The way she was showing off that awful couch was so cringeworthy. It was like showing off to her parents that she has a boyfriend...and they are doing the sex!!!! Her brother was so innocuous. He wasn’t stating that she needs to stop living the way she wants to. He just doesn’t want to do it himself. She is SO irritating.

I am astonished that the lovely Aspen is with this beast. There are so many red flags. I wanted to punch his ugly face when he agreed that Aspen cares more about him than he does about her. This is her mother’s marriage all over again. And there will definitely be plural wives down the road. He really thinks he is the shit.

Kody is the dumbest, most selfish person on the planet. Ysabel wants the surgery. It is HER body, not his. And he doesn’t like Dr. Camp because science? I just can’t with him. And then he is all upset because he wants to move and his wives and children’s don’t? He is such a tool.

So I don’t know if there are any musical theater geeks here, but lucky you! You have me! I knew Midge’s direction would focus entirely on her career (her calling) during the episode when she met the reclusive artist. The episode was called, “Look She Made a Hat” which is a callout to Stephen Sondheim’s “Sunday In the Park With George.” It is based on the life of George Seurat and takes place while he is painting “Sunday on La Grande Jatte.” He sings the song, “Finishing the Hat” which shows his complete attention to his painting and how impossible it is to have relationships when one is a true artist. He even stands up his lover to work on the hat. The last line of the song was about how he has created something incredible, though at the loss of his lover: “Look, I made a hat, where there never was a hat!”

They are so awkward. And I hate the wives’ constant fake tittering.

Best show ever, but harder without the shitshow of the Britney family. Just, everyone, catch up from last season. It is not very long and if you think The Kody Klan is bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet!

I don’t understand why polygamists stay in a state that doesn’t accept them. Like, dudes....move to a nice blue state where nobody gives a shit what you do. Take your wives out. No one cares. Also, that was the saddest birthday party I have ever seen.

Yes, they are handling this completely inappropriately. Hail, Dr. Camp! It pains me that Ysabel has no social life anymore because she is doing those fake ass exercises. Do they have real health insurance?

Yes! She might as well have written “Stealing my toad ass husband, priceless!”

I also think that Angela and Auralee wrote that apology. Those two bitches must be SO happy right now,

To watch “Cats” on stage is also boring and weird. We (spoiled teenagers) got to see lots of Broadway show through the Theater Development Fund and we each paid about $2.50 to see it. Highway robbery!

I don’t think there was ever a real reason why Michael hates Toby. I recently read Mindy Kaling’s book and she thinks HR people are terrifying because they tell you about your health insurance and how they will cover all the ways you can die. So she thought it would be funny for Michael to hate HR people.

It is Nathan. So obvious. And he is well over 18. I feel so bad for him.

Yes, Ricki is a member of the tribe. When I was in my early twenties I had a short haircut and everyone said I looked just like her. By the way, I am a Cohen and a Levite. Sadly, we were never asked to perform any religious obligations, but one professor in grad school always called me “Kari the Priest.”

I totally agree. And let us never forget that Dan Conner is truly the best man ever.

I love this show. I love how they are fleshing out Laura Dern’s character and the true love that is subtly shown between her and Bill Burr. (Can’t remember the characters’ names because I am caught in fibro fog.). I think the show is compelling.

I loved that Stephen Colbert was on the show. I had forgotten that he and Amy worked together on “Strangers With Candy.” I also love her recordings on the audios of David’s books. I just found out that their sister, Tiffany passed. Amy said she did the show to kind of distract her from the grief.

I would say this is true if you have a good guy who has your best interests at heart. This is not the case with Coltee. Coltee is a terrible person and so is Mother. Colt did NOT buy a new car. Coltee enjoys dangling things in front of Larissa and then not delivering. He is an immature guy who is not ready for a serious relationship.

Grimm’s fairy tales do just that: Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella (Aschenputtel), Snow White, etc.

Why is anybody defending Steven? You are all turning me into a rageaholic! As Steven would say, “Look what you made me do!” I don’t particularly care how Steven feels or why dads feel insignificant. Women feel insignificant ALL the time and then apologize for existing. I don’t understand why we need to keep explaining that what Steven is doing is abusive and that Olga does NOT need to tend his needs right now. There is a real live baby and she is doing EVERYTHING! If Steven wants to feel more like a dad, he can act like one. Right now, this show is getting darker and darker and it pains me to watch them. I wrote a letter to a Sharp Entertainment about it.

Steven, is that you?

I truly dislike Tarik. I have a child with autism and I would never consider a person who I had never met just come on over and be his new stepdad. I wouldn’t even introduce him to anyone I hadn’t fully vetted and been absolutely sure they could handle it. It is so selfish of him. I would never dream of doing that to my child. And he totally thinks he owns Hazel and that she is his prostitute. I hate that he believes that he is owed sex. Nobody is ever owed sex, particularly with a woman whom one has just met. He is gross.

I will, my friends! Godspeed to all of us!
