he's not old enuf to my grandpa either, and yeah, he's silver foxy. he was a beautiful young guy before his car accident, and he was still cute after, but he aged into his looks very nicely. And I agree..he looks better all windswept and wild. Adam Driver is hot, with his big ugly handsome Modigliani face and his ridiculously tall, buff body.

I sadly know several people in real life who think Negan is awesome. One is a guy in his 50s...who looks a little like JDM, rides a bike, leather jacket. He's constantly posting on FB about random girls and women stopping him in coffee shops and bars and calling him Negan and he takes it as the HIGHEST compliment. maybe he is high. I also know several women who say they love Negan when, I THINK what they mean is they love JDM. I hope. I don't even like JDM, as I've never really seen much of anything else he's ever done, and Negan is such a fail of a character that I'm not impressed by him in any way. He's probably attractive and might be the nicest, coolest man in the world in real life, but I am not sure I'd ever be able to admit or see that. He's ruined this show for me. I still feel shockingly sad about Carl, and even more about Chandler, which is probably silly. He'll be fine. I just feel bad for the kid. He thought he had a family and security and Scott Gimple kicked his ass out as soon as hit legal adulthood. Welcome to being an adult, kid. I don't honestly know how great an actor he is beyond Carl, but I wish him well.

I expected it to be Carl, but I was still kind of devastated. Finding out it wasn't Chandler's request to leave makes it worse. I've only been half heartedly watching since Glenn's death anyway, and Negan has ruined the show for me as it is, but I really might just have to give it up for good now. Yeah, it's a dystopian horror show, but we need some hope, and most of the goodness and light is gone now. And it is so ludicrous that Negan still exists in the world. I just can't.

I think he looks like a puffed up 50 year old, but agree, no 30 year old woman would be attracted to him. I did like seeing Fargo's Olivia Sandoval as his erstwhile love interest.

oh man. that makes me weirdly sad. I hated Jimmy at first, but I LOVE him now, and have kind of a crush on Scott MacArthur. I wonder why this decision? I hate it. That sucks.

the scene in the bar with the puke beer....we had to turn that off for a minute, it was just too gross. this show will go there, every time. Wasn't Mickey banging some other guy just last week? I just always figured Jimmy and she were FOBs, tho there is a LOT of history there, clearly. How do they explain him staying in the house now, if they are no longer that?

Read Laura Dave's Hello Sunshine a few weeks ago, and I liked it, but already can't remember much of it. I liked it fine, apparently, gave it three stars on Goodreads, which is a middling, sure, go ahead and read it, I guess, kind of rating. As opposed to The Girl Who Lied, by Sue Fortin. Extremely underwhelmed. Didn't outright hate, and I finished it, but it is not a good book, imo. 1 star. Just blah and weird. So I was ready to love the next book I read, and I did: Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich's Fact of a Body. Gorgeously written, evocative, haunting, compelling, a sort of true crime/memoir hybrid. Her 'smash up' of the two genres and tales don't always necessarily dovetail--she might just struggle a bit to find her thesis statement, so to speak ,if she has one, linking the two, but her prose was so beautiful to me that I never minded that. A five star read, for me. Now onto Gail Godwin (always a fave) and Grief Cottage.

Yeah, the whole big house, fancy car thing was elitist and smug and misguided, imo. I get he's trying to motivate her, but that seemed a snotty, snobbish, insulting way to go about it. Lots of folks work really hard and never wind up with those things. The emphasis on the material shit was annoying. I mostly liked the episode, otherwise. Randall is a big dork and often kind of irriating, and there was, as always, just way too much speechifying and monologue-ing by way too many folks, but the actress who plays Deja has this sweet, dignified kind of gravitas that sells every last one of her scenes, and I'll miss her. Poor Kevin.

iPad Pro. "What's a computer?". It seems to have been filmed awhile back. She looks quite a bit older on the show already.

I assumed she loved that song and the video they were reenacting, maybe. Max often annoys me, but I found her mostly sweet in this episode. Her requests for her party might have been over the top spoiled girl, but she asked for them with some sense of calmness and maturity, and she and Sam reached a compromise they both seemed okay with. I didn't mind the way she mentioned that Sam hadn't gotten her a gift---she approached it more or less calmly, no tantrums, just a 'it's a little weird'. I think she knew Sam had something for her and was segueing into it. What she did get, in the little box, apparently, was Marsellus Wallace's soul. I too loved how all Sam's friends stepped up to offer to take Max, and I loved that she picked Rich, who's my fave.

I am still holding onto this show, despite some requisite eye rolling every episode. I do think there is some awfully predictable and too twee stuff, but I also think it's improved since the pilot. I hold on mostly for Freddie, and I loved that Nestor Carbonell directed this episode. I also loved that Hannibal's Abigail Hobbes played the girl who got shot in this episode. That poor actress has had a lot of violence done to her on various tv shows! She's had a lot of practice lying in hospital beds. I have been guilty of not paying much attention to side stories that don't involved Freddie and figured I missed something we already knew with Glassman and Jessica...no? yes? Definitely sounds like he lost his daughter...did we know that he and Jessica have known each other since she was a kid? baha. Literally laughed out loud reading this. I really hope they never go the romance route between these two.

My fave TV character of all time is a cannibal, who I also lust after with the heat of million suns, but I was still grossed out by the people pies. Especially when Oswald was wearing it all over his face. But Pyggy Man and his cell block tango was literally everything. I want Alfred to smash Bruce's prissy little mouth in. And yes...dayum...Alfred in the forest scene? When DID he become so smokin'?

Number Two is even worse. Poor Kate.

This episode was BATSHIT. I mean that as a compliment.

Show still has never made me cry, but I thought Justin did a great job on this episode. I know he's considered a lightweight actor by many, but he sold it for me. His anguish was real, even if the flop sweat they keep spraying him down with and yet hardly anyone pays attention to looks silly. I don't feel bad for Charlotte either. She's a grown ass woman, a DOCTOR, for cripes sake, yet she ignored that he was drunk and spiraling just to sleep with the famous guy she had a crush on. Yeah, if situations were reversed, and it was a woman who was that drunk and strung out and a guy knowingly slept with her like that, we'd be calling it assault. Kudos to Kevin, I guess, for still being able to perform under those circumstances. I get her being pissed that he took off without a word while she was constructing the blanket picnic of yodels and cheese, but if a guy was weeping on my front lawn cuz he left behind the only thing he had left of his dad's....I don't care how bad my feelings had been hurt, I'd help him find his necklace. She just came off like an insecure, bitter, crazy bitch. I have no real feelings about Kate's baby, but don't know why they even bothered making her pregnant if she was just going to lose it two eps later.

I haven't read Gilead, but it's on my list. Housekeeping is rambling and beautiful and meandering. There's a plot, but it's slim, and often sort of lost in all the lovely prose and descriptions and metaphors. But if you like that sort of thing (I do), I think you'll love it.

Yeah, I get that. I didn't mean it was a literal comment about Tate. But I do believe it had a double meaning, for us fans. An Easter egg, as it were.

more endless monologues. Be you a junkie, a felon, a judge, a doctor, or a kid, if you're on this show, you're gonna have a four page monologue. Of course the judges are pals. And of course, they both break protocol for this family. I adore Kevin but the addiction story is so quick and so uninspired and pedestrian and I do not care. Poor Sophie. Have we ever had any interaction between Sophie and Kate as adults? I wanted to see that. The Deja/mom/Randall stuff is so heavy handed. And of course, Toby and Kate having a quickie wedding is considered sub par and inferior. I realize that most (I guess) women want a big splashy affair, but there are those of us who never ever dreamed of one, and find it all too personal and intimate to want to share with a million folks, or who lack the romance gene and want to be married but don't want the ceremony, or whatever the reasons, but apparently--on tv,, at least-- those women are freaks. And hell, I watch Say Yes to the Dress all the time too, but I still hate weddings. Loved hearing Jason Isbell's "If We Were Vampires" while Kevin dreamed of how terrible a husband and dad he'd be.

Just read David Bell's The Forgotten Girl, and found it just incredibly pedestrian. No characterization at all, not a single interesting thing or truly felt emotion and not an even particularly compelling 'mystery'. I am not even sure why I finished it. It's got good reviews on Goodreads but I have no comprehension as to why. There were two chapters of a diff Bell novel--Somebody I Used to Know-- at the end, and I realized I'd read it, and liked it well enough, so maybe this one was as anomaly. Just finished up A.S.A Harrison's The Silent Wife today, and loved it. It's gorgeously written and dark....it's not a thriller along the 'can't wait to turn the page' lines of Gone Girl or whatever Bell was going for...it's a quiet, contemplative, twisted, subtle noir, and the prose is rich and dense and beautiful. There are no truly likable characters, and nobody to root for, and yet, I found I wanted the main character to get away with her actions. I was very sad to read that Harrison had passed away, as I would have loved to have read more from her. That said, one of the reviews of it on Goodreads is really funny, and not incorrect, and might somewhat inform whether you'll like it or not: "At the moment, I am wearing my book reviewing outfit of jeans and a t-shirt, but soon I will change into some sweatpants to take a nap on the couch under the window that looks out onto the sprawling landscape of my driveway. Then I will put on a smart pair of yoga pants and a crisp k-way jacket to get some groceries. When I get back, having bought only food that I enjoy because that's who the world revolves around, I will change into my coffee-making outfit consisting of whatever little dress still fits after a couple of kids and a sedentary winter, with some cute uggs because my feet are so darn cold, but will change again before we eat some adorably twee appetizer of something creamy on a cracker, and then will change just one more time before dinner into something that I know my husband will love. If anybody in my house does anything to disrespect or displease me, I will say not a thing because, control, but will be plotting some half-assed passive-agressive revenge whilst smiling, making lunches and making my entire generation seem petty, privileged, and downright insufferable. If you could get through this review, I suppose you could get through the book"

I adore Evan and find him endlessly pretty, but the shaved head thing shaved off lots of cute points, for me. Hate a shaved head. The scene with he and Billie in the bathroom was pretty riveting, and yes, Billie came more alive there. And yes, I absolutely think the Night of a 1000 Tates was a call back to Evan's first season character (and still my fave). No way was that Lily Rabe. Sarah made a scary-convincing Manson chick. Weirdly, Evan's Charlie, who I was looking very forward to, was my least fave cult leader impression/representation so far. Ally is batshit.

I don't think he deserves the Emmy for playing Jim Jones or Jesus or whatever for three minutes either, but for the overall performance as Kai, which includes the little blips as the other folks. I do think some of the characterizations have been more effective than others....I loved his Warhol, and his David Koresh, while Jim Jones was a terrifying man who came off as cartoonish. But overall, I think he's been pretty brilliant

And Phil.

I think Evan was Andy just because he made such a GOOD Andy. That's been the highlight of the season for me. I was gratified to see Ivy die, and Winter smacked (tho, man, that sounds really awful of me), but yeah, no real good guys here, anywhere. Except Oz. Loved him correcting Kai on the Jim Jones details. Also, Jim Jones high fiving Jesus was hilarious. This season has gone a little off the rails, like most AHS seasons do. I still love it, but I wish it were...tighter, more controlled and less over the top batshit sometimes. Sarah and Evan just have chemistry together. When Kai slinked up behind Ally at the stove to make yummy noises over the manwiches, for a minute I forgot he was a psycho freak and she a screamy neurotic who both should probably just die. There's just an innate, weird sizzle between them onscreen. oh, Jim Jones being the "Kanye of cult leaders" was the funniest line of the nite.

He'd probably tried to FB stalk her since he got an account, and finally, there she was!

I was over 35 in 2008 and I was on FB (since 2007), as were most of my friends. So how old was Rebecca supposed to be in 2007? And she only got on FB after Tessa was born, so I think that message from Miguel was the first communication they had.
