According to RT, Logan is really truly dead. Of course, he could be a big fat liar. He's also okay with fans being upset, as long as they stick around. "But I will have made a really bad bet if, en masse, the fans turn on the show. That would certainly be a tough lesson to learn.” I don't know, but he might learn that lesson. https://tvline.com/2019/07/22/veronica-mars-logan-dies-season-4-finale-rob-thomas-interview/ There's a link to the interview with JD in that article too. He was pretty gutted, at first. I'm feeling bitter. This just screams trying to be edgy or something, and it was unnecessary. And it does seem like a big old Fuck you to fans of V and Logan. Overall, I loved the season. And I don't want to be this way, but this might have ruined the whole show for me. I need more distance from it, which is maybe silly, but whatever. I most definitely have a new and forever answer to the 'What television show character's death upset you the most?". Why did Logan and Leo act as if they'd never met one another? Do none of these folks have social media? V didn't know Leo was divorced, or at the FBI? Logan didn't know Parker was divorced, and she didn't know he and Veronica were still together? Does no one FB stalk exes on this show, like normal people do? Also, I haven't seen this mentioned: (if it has, sorry), Keith's personal trainer/physical therapist in the first episode was Corny? I only know this cuz the closed captioning told me so, but IMDB confirmed it.

Legitimately gutted.

Fuck.

Didn't she actually say something about having kids? I'd run screaming too. Slow your roll, Ana. Zoe IS unsufferable, but she appeared to learn something, like she did last week, so that's good. I do think this show, which I find vastly superior to Blackish in many ways, has rewritten Zoey as not nearly as smart as she used to be. She used to study and make good grades, in high school, didn't she? She was spoiled but not vapid and arrogant. She DID rock that pink wig and silver tinsely flapper dress, tho.

yeah....I really do like this show, and will keep watching, but it makes me feel old AF. I keep trying to remember what it's like to be 19 and self centered as hell and a drama queen, cuz I probably was all of that....I completely believe in the Girl Code (or did, at that age, and still do, to a much lesser extent...tho now, if somebody in my circle of friends started dating my ex husband, I'd be all 'girl no, he's an idiot', but I wouldn't remotely feel betrayed) but I don't EVEN get all the drama involved here. I really like Yara but Zoey really is insufferable. I didn't remotely blame Luca for throwing her outa his room. I kept expecting Vivek or Doug to hit on Zoey. Some guys don't know how to comfort a female friend without that being part of the equation. It was refreshing that they both seemed bored with her nonsense too. And yeah...romantic/friend drama is big at that age, but I'd think trying to figure out how to pay for that apartment, and school (just how all encompassing was Dre's 'cutting her off' anyway? not paying for tuition, or just not paying for rent and cars and clothes?) would be a lot more pressing right now. Also, because it's clearly important: https://freeform.go.com/shows/grown-ish/news/which-grown-ish-character-are-you I'm Nomi. .

I'm confused, cuz I thought Star 80 was well regarded. Even now, it has an 83% on rotten tomatoes and a 63% on Metacritic.....these are not bad reviews. I know it got some, somebody called it 'Bob Fosse's latest stinker', but it also made both siskel and ebert's top ten list and Eric Roberts was nominated for several best actor awards. I thought the girl playing teen Nicole looked very much like her. I recognized LMM immediately but at first I convinced myself it wasn't really him. He sure seemed to be having a blast. I have enjoyed this, and think Williams and Rockwell were spectacular. But I'm oddly relieved that it's over.

I believe so...they were shame bats, cuz the orgy was a failure.

50's, you mean. I like Peter K and found him hot as hell on SFU, until Nate turned into such a monumental douche, but I haven't always found the hot factor with him on this show. Bad haircut, maybe. but when he strode into the bomb scene up to the bomb-kid, arms out, like 'here I am, what are you gonna do about it?'...I was like, whew, daddy. ::fanning self:: I liked Athena's dress, black straps and all. Weird opinion, tho: I think Angela Bassett is spectacular looking, and her body is insane, and she looks 20 years younger than she actually is and might be an actual vampire...but I rarely find her sexy. In fact, only when she has her long braids/dreads ala American Horror Story does she seem sexy to me. I have weird hair issues, maybe. Paula Marshall looks good. I didn't know she was married to Danny Nucci. I hate cheesy manufactured moments designed to make us cry, but damned if I didn't when the crowd surged forward to help lift the truck off Buck.

Not surprised, but I'm sad.

Only Lovers Left Alive, the Jim Jarmusch film that Tilda played a vampire in, is a fabulous movie. I just really wanted a long-haired Tom Hiddleston to show up. This episode was honestly just...everything. It seemed like a season finale, it was so chock full of guest appearances and Easter eggs and inside jokes. I realized it was the original threesome from the film before Tilda even showed up, and then Pee Wee and Evan and it just got better and better. I also loved that it was mentioned in the article about casting that they approached Cate Blanchett about appearing but then realized she's never actually played a vampire, cuz how has she not??

I think she (as well as Tracee Ellis Ross) looked kind of miraculous. Fun and campy but still gorgeous.

Yeah, I don't know what to think of Sam and Mer either. Clearly, there's a connection, and Sam enjoyed the flirtation, but she already told her she's a straight chick (which Mer scoffed at, asking if straight was even a thing anymore, which is off-putting) who likes dick and isn't into women. I get that Mer feels she's being given mixed signals, but Sam's under no obligation to indulge in any sexual activity she's not actually ready to. But I'm unclear on whether we're SUPPOSED to think that Sam really does want to bang Mare and is just not ready to acknowledge it, or what, or if she's just indulging in a little fantasy, which might not be fair to Mer. I liked the stage read, I thought it was a lot of fun. and Mark Feuerstein has always been actor I just never found especially attractive but I did on this episode; not sure why the diff, but I kept thinking 'well, hello, there'.

Yeah, city folks know what potlucks are (tho I don't make stuff to take, I buy it, I hate cooking. I also hate potlucks, actually). And country folks know what biscotti are. There are silly premises here, and stereotypes. And yet, the charm of the cast and the occasional cleverness is balancing that out, for me. Doesn't Rio have any girlfriends back home she can talk to, instead of just her mom?

Indeed, if you google "Sam Rockwell dancing' you will get literally hundreds of hits and vids from various other films and tv appearances. In "Mr. Right', he is literally the Dancing Hitman. All tastes are subjective, of course, and I don't know how technically good he is, but I (and apparently a lot of others) love to watch him. True that McCracken was no more innocent than Verdon when it came to screwing around with Fosse behind--well, right in front of--his then-wife's back.

The idea that Sam Rockwell can't act or sing is....killing me, y'all. He's an amazing actor, and a fun dancer...he always dances! Nope, he's probably not Fosse level, but I love his moves. I don't think he's trying to make us LIKE Bob Fosse....who was a douchebag and imminently unlikable, as a person. And really, Verdon doesn't come off a lot better...she was also a cheater, and the other woman, blatantly, in the face of a woman she supposedly admired. And then made the classic other woman mistake of thinking he wouldn't do the same thing to her. But I don't have to admire the characters to enjoy watching them. I like the non-linear style too. I love Susan Misner too and wish she had the opportunity to dance here. I really knew nothing about Joan McCracken except that she had once been married to Jack Dunphy, who was, after their marriage ended, Truman Capote's long term partner. I didn't know that she was one of the women, supposedly, that Capote based Holly Golightly upon. I wish Misner had more of a chance to show THAT Joan, the free spirited, light hearted one, instead of mostly just the put upon, cheated on wife.

I find this show really charming, and I like Lake Bell here far more than I have before. Love Dax. It's completely unrealistic and wrong that they'll eventually probably really succeed with their half assed plans, but I'm rooting for them. Agree that they just need to ditch the mom, or tone her way down.

I like the actors involved but the commercials looked so lame that I was just sure it would be a bomb..but I liked it too. The premise is still kinda stupid--that these two would just ditch everything to become farmers, with the property sight unseen--but lots of good show premises don't really bear examination---and the talent involved rises the show above the level I'd been afraid of. We laughed a lot.

I was a mouthy, moody teen who hated my mom half the time just for existing, but I would never have acted or spoken to my mom the way these kids do, especially Frankie. Just what is supposed to be her problem? it's not just typical teen stuff, it seems almost pathological now, like she needs serious therapy to sort out her anger issues. But not with Dr. Ferris, who winds up being kind of creepy and inappropriate. I'm uncertain just how we're supposed to feel about any of that, or how Sam feels about him, at all. She is certainly therapy-adverse, at any rate, tho she needs it bad.

That pic in the black pantsuit is definitely Melissa McCarthy, not Chrissy Metz.

I love Elle King..she has an amazing voice and stage presence (I saw her live with the dixie chicks, and tho they're great, she blew them out of the water). I thought she was trying to HELP shawn by changing the arrangement to make it more in his wheelhouse, tho it came kind of late in the game and probably messed him up. I also wondered why she didn't do her own songs instead of decades old music by other artists. I feel like that wasn't her own decision. Bumbly did a great job, but to no avail, I guess. I think the judges had planned to send home Riley but then she came out and really shone, so they had to revise. Why the 'suspense' at the end about who was the final pick? It was so clearly Laine, who already seems kind of like an anointed one (I'm not mad about it, he's adorable and talented).

Most of Sam's friends at the restaurant were kind of obnoxious---I'd have hated to have been their server--but I did love seeing Judy Reyes, and, tho it took me a minute to recognize her, Cree Summer. The stanky fish oil friend was the worst all the way around, drunk or sober. I was a little surprised that Sam has a male gyno too, and even more that he continued the exam once she'd mentioned the whole 'fingering' thing. Sam is such a tough cookie, but not with her kids. She's very indulgent with them, and lets them get away with almost literal murder. I'm not a parent, so I have no basis for judgement there; parenting seems like the hardest (and, to me, often, worst) job in the world. And I hate to sound like one of those 'get off my lawn' types, but I can't imagine speaking to my folks, at that age (or even now) the way her daughters talk to her. And yeah...what is Max going to do now? No school, no consequences, no job or life plan? I know a lot of this is autobiographical for Adlon's real life; I just wonder how much. I know her real life daughters are all actually actresses ...will they go that way on the show?

This was a lovely ending. The girls both really brought it, and I completely believed those tears as they said goodbye. I cried too. I'm gonna miss the hell out of them.

I love how they're handling this whole baby situation, at least in terms of emotions...would ANYone else be as understanding and kind as Lena here, in real life? I don't know but I love it. I love Martin not getting upset with her for getting involved in Annie Apple's life, even when he asked her not to. I love how encouraging they both are about it all. I also have the very largest crush on Oliver Hudson. I always did, even when he was kinda evil on Nashville, but I ADORE him here. I seriously 'ship Martin and Lena now. I don't think--or at least, I hope--that Martin focusing on Annie won't cause a rift. It's only natural that he would. Still no news on whether this show is getting renewed? They're calling next week a 'season finale' but I guess it could still be a series finale. I hope not.

They were fabulous together. "You're like a hot baby." In the last couple weeks, formerly very hetero female characters on You're the Worst, Broad City, and Better Things have all gone the maybe/kinda bi/lesbian route. Which happens, and all, and that's great, but at this point it DOES seem like a sitcom cliché. I don't really have any problem Will and Grace being each other's one true non-sexual loves. Families take on all forms. David and Matt (I don't remember their character's names) seemed to accept it all with some, um, grace.

I'm so sad it's nearly over, but this episode made me laugh and laugh. The moment in the air shaft thing, when the blower came on and the lighter stayed lit, and Abbi said 'the litter stayed lighted' or whatever exactly she said...I nearly laughed til I cried, and later, as I was about to fall asleep, I thought of that again and started laughing and trying not to wake my BF up. And the "BOULDER/Bolder" moment in the alley way...just so funny and real. And yeah, the 'I don't keep bread in the house, I'm not crazy!!"...bahahaha. Damn. I'm gonna miss these chicks.
