I would watch Jennifer Garner and Juliette Lewis sparring and dancing together in almost anything. Give them their own show, after this one is over, plz. I loved that Taylor Dayne moment. I love this show. It's spiky and weird and hilarious and gross.

Honestly, are we supposed to hate Dre? Cuz I hate Dre.

I deleted this show from my DVR but half-watched last nite. I'm not invested but Nathan F is so charming it's easy to watch him do whatever. Loved seeing Sara Rue, loved her shutting whatshisname down. Was she supposed to be ugly? Yikes. Remember when she was the 'fat girl' on TV shows? She's neither fat nor ugly, like, even a little. I'm a huge fan of NYPD Blue and am currently rewatching on Hulu, and hey, there's suddenly a bespectacled Currie Graham, lookin' like a SNACK. Damn. I missed the set up and thought he was Nathan's (I watch this show so carelessly that I realize I don't even know the rookie's name) brother. At any rate, I might have to keep watching if he sticks around.

Everyone has already said what I thought about this show (UGH, Delilah. Ugh, Eddie. Game night. Pizza night. These people are too far up into each other's lives all the damn time). So, as not to be to repetitive, a question: I missed where Ashley was with the mailbox full of past due bills? I don't necessarily think it's that Jon and Ashley were having an affair, tho this show won't surprise me if that's what it is. But clearly something shady. I think we'll eventually learn enough that we're supposed to find Jon a kind of horrible guy with secrets, which will be supposed to make us forgive Eddie and Delilah for being creepy cheaters (tho their friends already have, within, like, mere seconds, which: whatever, show).

I don't see how this doesn't parse with what we know of Grace either. Many--if not most-- of the women I know have been sexually assaulted in some way, unfortunately. We don't all walk around looking damaged, acting out, hating sex, hating men, hating our parents, etc, or whatever a sexual abuse survivor might be supposed to look like. Most of us look and behav like everybody else, which is, I think, the point. I get not liking the storyline ,and sure, this wasn't all planned out from the get-go by the show runners, but the point is that you never know who has been thru something like this. I'm not always a Debra Messing fan, but I thought she did a pretty great job here. While I guessed right away that it wasn't will, but her mom, that Grace had told, it's weird that she WOULDN'T have ever told Will. Also, as ball buster-y as Grace's mom always was, it's a little hard to believe that she wouldn't have personally done something to confront and punish Harry, let alone that she put up with her husband remaining his friend. I don't think it was necessarily supposed to be rational, adult Grace (well, if she's ever quite that) blaming her dad in some way. It was the 15 year old who got violated by her dad's best friend, and who expected him to know and protect her. Eric McCormack is dreamy.

Armand Assante is alive and well from everything I can see about him online. I had to sigh when I saw him tho, remembering how very sexy he was in "Little Darlings", back when I was a kid with a crush on him. Time is just mean. I was so sure CC was going to kill, or at least maim and disfigure Lori. I hate Bobby too, and I despise anyone mob related, but I was cheering for SOMEONE to take CC out. I was also afraid he'd kill Ashley/Dorothy before the season is out. I think Gary Carr did a phenomenal job playing CC, but I will not miss the character at all. I'd prefer all the pimps be murdered all to hell, actually. I can't remember Black Frankie's precise words, but I laughed out loud at his 'you killed the shit out of that guy' (paraphrasing) line.

Pretty sure that was L. Scott Caldwell, who I know from, well, a million different things, but mostly as Rose, from Lost.

Ugh. I was sure just from the commercials that it was Delilah who'd wind up pregnant. Gross. So gross. To borrow a line from "Splitting up Together"'s last episode: how does somebody that age accidentally get/get someone pregnant? Were they not only cheating shitheads, but stupid cheating shitheads who didn't use birth control? (yeah, I know accidents happen even when you're careful. whatever). And now a who's the daddy storyline. I want the daughter to find out and punch her mom in the face like she did her prayer circle friend. I really kind of loathe Delilah. Eddie is such a douchebag. An unemployed, unfaithful alcoholic, but somehow his buds blame the wife trying to keep things afloat. When Katherine said to Gary that she knew they had their 'history'...do we know exactly what that's about? Just Gary blaming her for Eddie's problems and weaknesses? I also hope Rome and Regina don't wind up with a baby. NOT having a baby is a perfectly viable life choice, and with their current situation, they couldn't be in a worse position to add a baby to the mix. Plus, there are enuf kids on this show already, and they all bore me. I wanted this to not be a show I began to hate watch, but I think I am, much like This is Us. I might have to cut the cord on both, tho I'm still vaguely interested in just why Ron Livingston killed himself. Maybe just having to hang out with these folks was a compelling reason.

Ugh, these people. What is their deal with causing scenes in front of everyone, at the most inappropriate times? At a house showing in front of your realtor? check. At a movie premiere for your son/brother? check. They are all such emo drama queens. I loved Toby going off on them. His was the most rational, reasonable, normal reaction to anything that happened in this episode, even if it's fueled by anti depressant withdrawal. Kate's comment, repeated by Kevin, was tactless, but Randall's reaction to it was over the top. They really all do need to be in therapy.

I don't think it's 'today's youth'....if Carrie Bradshaw and Co are any indication, which hopefully they aren't. Carrie was even worse with the oversharing and constant need for attention, validation and drama, even when she was twice Beck's age (or almost, in the flicks). Yeah, Joe was pulling off 'oh I was here cuz I sell books' excuse and then he came half way clean...most women would, I hope, run screaming, but not Beck.

She's in the version with Emma and Meryl Streep, along with Saoirse Ronan and Timothee Chalamet. Great cast, great director, I'm happy for her. Yes, Beth dies, she has to play a sickly girl again, but at least she's not a psycho.

This made me laugh, since Eliza Scanlen is next starring in Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Little Women. As Beth, the anti-Amma! I look forward to whatever she does next.

It's Camille who always looks as if she reeks of last nite's vodka and sweat to me. After sleeping drunk in her car all nite and then retrieving her phone in a muddy field, I really just wanted to see evidence she'd showered before she met with the ladies who lunch. I assume she has more than one pair of jeans and long sleeved shirt but it's hard to tell, so it always looks as if she's wearing the same clothes. And sliding hot detective's hand into her jeans...again, all I can think is she really does probably kind of smell, you know, ripe. The sex scene was the equivalent to a guy just putting a woman's hand on his dick, which is usually kind of a...well, dick move, but hey, I guess they were both into it enough. Amy Adams is clearly appealing, but I'm kind of wondering what the detective would SEE in her. Then again, we're privy to her strangeness and issues, and he is not., quite ..yet. The images of Amma dead in the sex porno shed were clearly, I thought, just fears in Camille's head as she drove. I did take Adora's remark about recycling to be a barb about Camille's drinking. My stupid DirectTvNow decided to buffer at some point for about 10 minutes, cutting out just as the sheriff told Adora that one of her daughters was dangerous and the other in danger, and cutting back in as Ashley was...wtf was she doing? Cleaning, jacking up the the bed with books? if anyone can let me in on what I missed between those scenes, I'd be really grateful. that appears, at this point, to be a matter of perspective. We've seen the flashes of Camille running thru the woods in her cheerleader garb, with boys in pursuit, and the story she told hot detective indicated she'd been one of those girls who got gang banged by the football team. The detective clearly saw that as a rape of a girl too young to know the ramifications of consenting to something like that, Camille took issue with his interpretation, but whether that's to try to convince herself of her own autonomy in the situation or because she actually invited it or because she's in denial about it all, I don't know. I read the book, but I can't honestly remember this particular detail.

I definitely will, thanks. I just can't handle that stuff.

oh no. I've only seen episode one so far, so I haven't gotten there yet. I don't know if i'll be able to hang if animal deaths are a theme. Damn.

Andre Holland is brilliant...plz do yourself a favor and watch "Moonlight". I first loved him on American Horror Story. His eyes are always haunted, and haunting. I loved all the King allusions and references and easter eggs, tho I missed some of them, for sure. I did hate the poor little mouse snapped in the trap, and the terrorized chicken over the alligator (croc?)'s mouth. please no more of that. Also: I'm watching Sharp Objects too, and it kills me that these folks going back to their dysfunctional, creepy, crime-y towns and sort of awful families with awful histories are all going back to GORGEOUS< HUGE southern gothic looking homes. I had a perfectly normal, nice upbringing but I'd take a little dysfunction to have one of these for my family home.

I"m not a fan of Stan, tho I am a huge fan of Evan Peters, and think he's ridiculously talented, and I am still interested in what happens to both him and Patty. He treated both patty and Angel shabbily, and I'm glad they both kicked him to the curb, but I do think he has a story worth telling. There were times I felt really terrible for him, had a lot of empathy for him, and i'd like to see him be able to figure his life out. And, as Blanca said to Angel, he's fiiine. I also have empathy for Elektra, and was glad (and unsurprised) when Blanca took her in. But ugh, she's such a fucking bitch. And such a really bad actor. Too much of her went way too far for me. This would have been a good, happy, series finale, but I am glad we get another season. I really want Pray Tell to be happy again.

There is no way Cindy is just in her mid 50s. Just no way. It does seem like she's overly fixated on sex, but honestly, I think it's just in this specific context. She's probably just perfectly fine with a nice, average sex life--at her age, or any age, whatever that might be--but she's facing the prospect of losing the sex life she has now, cuz she really doesn't want to have sex with Lucy, and she's likely realizing that she might not find somebody else.....(tho, of course, she might). She's just reacting to what she might be losing. Or whatever, I don't know.

Barb's sister clearly doesn't care about red flags. She slept with and married her sister's ex--what kind of man did she think he was already? And she's still staying with him. She's an idiot. No sympathy. Delia has pretty bad taste in men already....generally, the more married, the better she likes them...so I dunno, I kind of think a hot felon is a better choice than some she's made before. I did NOT like his 'leading me on' statement, tho, either. Creepy. I didn't find it so odd that Delia called to ask Phoebe to help, as Phoebe had, the night before, told her to call anytime as she's 'great with needles'. I DID find it extremely odd and intrusive that she'd just go to her house to wait for her until she got home from her date. Abby annoys me no end, but I actually found her 'I'm going to put myself to bed' kind of cute...deliberately childish, I think, but kind of cute. I rarely find anything she does cute, but that one didn't bother me. As much as she DOES bug me, I do still think the cast is good. They're far better than the material.

All these women toying with their exes...wtf? I've seen my ex 3 times since our divorce and that was 3 times too many, and he's the last man on earth I'd want to sleep with (well, current political administration aside), but on this show, we have Barb, Jo, and Mike's ex all still apparently pining to some degree, and Abby too, on occasion. Is this more of a thing than I've personally experienced? Cuz gross. Barb and her sis made up too easily, under these circumstances. Also gross. Abby...I get her upset, honestly, but I would rather die than let the ex, let alone his co workers, see me behave like that: insecure, suspicious, jealous. No. Never let them see you like that. Have it out with Mike alone, but never with an audience. But Abby has no impulse control.

Oops

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/three-of-chris-hardwicks-exes-defend-him-amid-abuse-allegations/ar-AAzfbcP Three of his exes are taking up for him. From Jacinda Barrett (She was my fave London Real World-er): “This past week I have watched someone I once loved and shared four years of my life with be publicly accused of misconduct and abuse, then swiftly fired and shunned,” she wrote, tagging Hardwick in the post. “The accuser’s story bears no resemblance to the one I shared with him all those years ago, but what is of supreme importance here is that every woman and every man deserves a voice. Accuser and Accused. Everyone deserves to be heard."

I think Jimmi is ridiculously adorable (and certainly better looking that Ed Harris ever actually was) and I miss him terribly. He became the reason I watched, and was one of the major reasons season 2 fell flat for me. I have basically no real idea what happened. I mean, I get the bare bones, but even that's honestly more than I care about. Yeah, every time Bernard was all 'WTF is going on?', I literally said aloud 'Nobody knows, Bernard'.

I'm a feminist and a SJW and a rape victim too, and I want to always believe the women as well. I also read and re-read and weighed what she wrote, and my gut reaction is still that it's murky. Even if everything she's said is true, I'm not sure any of it was illegal. Someone can be a douchebag, and we can hate them and find them reprehensible, but does that mean they lose their careers? Of course, we have the right to not support them in any way. But for someone to lose everything they've worked for over a bad relationship...well, there's sure be a lot of people who'd lose everything, it that becomes the way of things. I don't believe anyone said most or all rape accusations are false. That's not what I read---if I had, I'd be outraged.
