It appears Rayna is at least But if she did die, I'm still in. I like CB but not always Rayna, and I came to this show for Jonathan Jackson, and stay for him and Deacon and sometimes Juliette. So CB leaving wouldn't make me defect. Ouiser! No, wait, one of the others, but I forget which one. Truvy?

My guy is in a few bands, and several of HIS friends are in other bands, and they're only a little younger than this band is supposed to be, I think. Occasionally, some of them go 'on tour', but what it really means, generally, is they've booked a few club gigs in other states, just for exposure and a new experience. It's not really a tour in any classic sense, just some new gigs in new places. Maybe that's what this is.

Yeah, this, seriously. She came off so smug and self righteous, nobly telling Gunnar she had no feelings for him and did have feelings for British Douche, but she wouldn't cheat, that's not who she is, and then sighing condescendingly 'everything's not about sex. Did you even hear a word I said?' when Gunnar, accurately and rightly, said she just wanted to bang the other guy, and was going to. She didn't waste three minutes before she was in Damien's bed. I haven't hated Scarlett before, but Bowen so often plays her with such a lack of affect that she seems robotic and weird and emotionless, and it's off putting. I loved Avery's song--plus he looked hot AF performing it. What was Juliette's problem and why did she feel the need to even tell him? Shut up. Also, yeah, I'm an atheist, so I'm not likely to be compelled by the whole finding God storyline, but it's kind of....boring. Of course I knew when Rayna decided to be in her office all by herself after hours, wearing headphones, that Stalker Wayne would show up, but I still genuinely got chills when we saw his form in the office window behind her as he began to approach her. I thought that was, at least, a well done, well acted scene. But WTF with the car accident? Is Rayna just gonna be in a coma for months now while Britton decides to stay or go?

I cannot believe Delia destroyed that priceless guitar just to keep a client. She's freaking nuts. That's psychotic. I didn't hate Abby this episode, tho the argument over the girls seemed a little overwrought all the way around. Phoebe sucks. That squirrel painting sucked. Gemma sucks. Those previews suck. I felt literally sort of sick watching them. Go, Barbara!

I don't think this an UO. Pretty much everyone seems to be anti-Rebecca-touring. I'm a little surprised at it, tho I also get it, on some level. My significant other is a musician, teaches music, plays in several bands locally. If he were suddenly to go on a 5 city tour, I'd be less than delighted. He's never given me reason to not trust him, but as has been discussed in the 'Social Issues' thread, people are human and temptations exist and some find monogamy an outdated premise that nobody lives up to anyway. Add booze and dark bars and yeah, I'd be not happy. Add a hot bandmate who was a former ex, and yeah, no, I get Jack's reaction. Issues of trust or lies or jealous or fidelity aside, I don't quite get all the piling on Rebecca for taking a couple weeks to do this thing she wants to do. No, she's probably not going to get famous. Yeah, it's an inconvenience to Jack and the kids. Yeah, she's a parent, and that's a full time job. But the kids are teens, not little kids, and it's a short period of time to be away. For something that fulfills her, that is her job, in essence, even tho she probably makes very little $$. It's not an ideal situation, but I don't think it makes her a bad parent.

I am so very sorry this happened to you all; I can't even imagine. So I guess it could happen with Jack, and I guess it wouldn't merely feel like a plot device, but I still might be unable to watch if that were to happen, for a lot of reasons, but mostly because, as has been noted, subtlety is not in this show's DNA. It would just be too much.

I appreciate them flipping the script as well. And I definitely bat an eye at the likes of Kevin James being cast opposite the goddess that is Salma Hayek. Girls of all sizes and levels of attractiveness manage to attract men, and Lena Dunham is cute and smart and funny, so I have no doubt she attracts plenty of men. However, Hannah, as has been pointed out, is not only not a terribly nice or appealing person, she is very often just plain gross. Surfer guy saw her at her absolute grossest but for some reason still wanted to sleep with her. That's pretty baffling to me. It's not about her being not being as beautiful as jessa or as thin as Marnie. It's about being a blue tongued, vomity, whiny, lying, booze covered, probably smelly weird mess. Yeah, even if she looked like Salma Hayek but behaved the way Hannah does, I'd be baffled as to what he'd seen in her.

We don't know the show didn't go on yet. I'm assuming we'll find out next week, or whenever they feel like telling us what the fall out was. Maybe it did, tho it would have been, I imagine, after a very awkward and protracted period of time for those waiting in the audience. Poor Sloan.

You forgot 9/11!

If Jack commits suicide, I'm probably out. That doesn't seem remotely in his nature, and unless we got a lot more background and groundwork and motivation and reason and history, it would just seem like an incredibly cheap manipulation to make everyone's head's explode from weeping so copiously. Which means that's probably just what they'll go for. Ugh.

I just feel like it might mean the writers haven't given a second thought to Miguel's kids yet, or that they have some huge drama involved with them (like Jack dies trying to save Miguel's kids in a fire and they all perish or some such BS), not that Miguel is some kind of deadbeat dad. I actually thought that at least in the episode she didn't look 32. She didn't look 46, but she DID seem to look a little older than in previous episodes during this time frame. I don't blame the characters for any of this, I still love the characters and the actors. I do blame the writers for thinking sad/dramatic situations have to be handled with a sledge hammer to the viewer's heads to get their point across. Oh, lordy, that fat suit/ not fat suit pic. Toby apparently actually dresses like Chris Sullivan. That jacket he wore to the play was so very terrible. but I kinda dig Chris's flowery pants in that pic, they're hilarious.

Ugh, this show. It's so good, but it SO FUCKING HEAVY HANDED. of course, randall would have a breakdown just before Kevin is making his stage debut. Of course he'd call Kevin. Of course Kevin, instead of texting Rebecca or Kate, sitting out in the audience, to please go to Randall, NOW...no, of course, he had to ditch his play and leave Sloane and everyone else involved in the production in a really awkward, costly, career-destroying lurch, to go be with Randall, because that's what Jack-the-Perfect would have done. And of course it was touching, seeing him comfort Randall. But jeezus, show. A little subtlety is a good thing. I like the teen Big 3. Great casting. Poor Randall. Poor William. God, this show is depressing. Kudos to Kate for telling off fat crybaby Horse Dick but I agree she has a lawsuit on her hands if she was truly kicked out of a camp she'd paid for because the sexually harassing son of the owners told them to toss her. WTF? And, hey, Toby: horse dick is not remotely Jared Leto. I liked Miguel tonight, and still have no clue why people hate him, except that he's not perfect, hot Jack. Also, I agree: Jeff Goldblum is really something. And perfect Hot Jack is drinking again. He'd better not die in a drunken car crash after he and Rebecca fought, but I wouldn't put it past this show.

Hmm. That's a little different than what I imagined your arrangement was, but it's not my business. I hope your wife really meant it, and I hope you're both careful and safe in your extracurricular activities. You're right, of course, that lots of folks who have professed fidelity do cheat. and plenty who don't wish they could, at least sometimes. I guess I always felt that if I wanted to keep screwing around, I wouldn't be in a committed relationship, but I also guess it works for some people. I'm curious what you'd do if your wife DID ask, or DID tell, and how that might change things, or if it would. I've been cheated on, and it was shocking and painful and it ended my marriage, so that surely colors my feelings on the whole subject. Lots of people cheat, and we're all human and open to temptation. But it's not a victimless act. There's a lot of pain involved, generally. Maybe those of us who find it so devastating and wrong are unevolved or something, but I don't really think so. But if it can work within a relationship without causing pain or guilt, go for it, I guess.

No judgement from me and I agree that many mutually consensually non monogamous folks feel they can't be honest about it publicly. It's nobody's business what you do in your bedroom or somebody else's, but OTOH you shouldn't have to hide it. And I will confess that tho I am very open minded, my first thought--and I'm not proud of it--was to feel sorry for your spouse, as if she lacks autonomy or sound judgement or whatever. I'm going to assume you're both on the same page and have fairly clear rules on how this works so nobody gets hurt and so I say 'go you' I was always perfectly happy dating a lot of guys and was honest about it, but I am not apparently built for non monogamy when I'm in love. I can't personally grasp how commitment and non monogamy co exist, but that's me. I hate feelings of jealousy and always wonder how the polyamorous and the non monogamous either don't get jealous or insecure or how they handle it and f they do. As long as all parties involved are honest and perfectly fine with the situations, I think nobody has any room to judge. It's only something I DO judge if fidelity or monogamy or whatever is the preferred word is agreed upon and someone betrays that. Hence why I think Kate sleeping with duke after accepting toby's proposal would be a pretty shitty move.

then, of course, there's the whole 'sexual awakening' that's really rape thing. But still, I crushed and yearned for Rhett Butler for years, so there's that. And if Duke looked like a modern day Gable (like a Clooney or a Clive Owen or a Robert Downey Jr, or WHOEVER handsomely floats your particular boat), probably a lot of us wouldn't find him gross, but devilishly charming and sexy. I hope I wouldn't be one, I'd SAY I wouldn't be one, but then, if he was Mads Mikkelsen, I'd be knocking on his door, so who knows. But whatever. Duke is no Clark Gable AND he's a negging Neanderthal, so I hope Kate tells him so tonite instead of falling for his creep schtick.

Yeah, I kind of thought self absorbed and emotionally stunted were, like, prerequisites for a writer. (i'm a writer, at least, in my mind). Now whether she'd be a GOOD writer is maybe another thing.

I find William Fichtner to be miles more appealing than Jag (just a personal taste thing), so I wasn't cheering for her to dump Adam. But yeah, they're no longer a good match. I don't think Adam is a jerk, tho. I haven't seen actual disdain for the AA group. I do think he's possibly a functioning alcoholic himself tho, or at least has a problem, and they are NOT good for each other at this stage of things. I hate to see Fichtner go, tho, if he really is gone.

I don't agree with this at all. I don't even like Marnie, but she seemed completely delighted about Hannah's column. She was beaming. Sometimes people just read while they're peeing, yo. It's not a sign of disrespect. If anything, Shosh and Ray and Jessa seemed more disrespectful to me (tho funny), what with the 'not very ladylike' and the red penning and the not even reading it (or so it appeared).

I'm against cheating unless it's mutually decided to be okay within the confines of the relationship, in which case I guess it's not actually cheating. I AM against the term 'feminazi' cuz anything that bloated bloviating Rush Limbaugh has to do with, and I believe he did coin the term, and pretty much paints all feminists with it, I want no part of. I would think less of Kate if she cheats, even on Toby, because it would of course hurt him and it's dishonest and unkind. And for Duke? gross. Happy Valentine's day!

When I was going thru a divorce, I was suddenly catnip for type of guys I called the 'shark boys'. I was vulnerable, and they smelled the blood in the water and came sailing. I'm sure virtually any woman who's been thru a divorce (and men, too, there are, I'm sure, also shark girls) has encountered these predatory guys. They seem to feed off the vulnerability; it either gives them confidence that a woman in a good place doesn't give them, or they actively LIKE the sadness and depression and, so, in many cases, the lowered self esteem and diminished decision making skills that such a situation often renders. A lot of women fall for these guys' line of crap, since they ARE at their most vulnerable. It's not sexual assault, but it's still deeply creepy behavior, partly because it's so...premeditated. Duke is that guy, but for the women with lowered self esteem at this camp. Since he is an employee, I'd say it borders on harassment. Not that these women can't just tell him to fuck off, creep. They are not, by definition, victims, not until he DOESN'T fuck off when they say so, and they feel harassed or threatened.

I first knew of Riz Ahmed from "Nightcrawler" as well, and then pretty much everything else he's done. He's very talented and very easy on the eyes. And there was absolutely no reason that I could understand that his zen-master surfer boy would ever be attracted to Hannah. I think Lena D is cute and audacious and smart, but what Hannah really is is...gross. I do appreciate her unabashed confidence in her imperfect body, and as a chick with an also imperfect body, I know we still get hot guys in real life, so that doesn't bother me, tho I could do with decidedly less naked Hannah. Especially the ugly naked kind, like climbing down a ladder after puking kind of naked. But the whining and lying, the blue tongue and mouth, the spilling the drinks all over the dress, the writhing on the floor twerking with her dress hiked up to show off her leopard granny panties, the disrobing in the middle of the parking lot, the vomiting, etc etc etc...why would this guy, who clearly could get any woman there, go for her? it's inexplicable. Plus, Hannah always seems as if she'd smell bad, even without vomit being a concern. Like yeast infections and sweat and unbrushed teeth. I still like Jessa and Adam but they were complete douchebags last nite. Ray red-penning Hannah's article made me laugh out loud. He and Shosh were having such a nice little civilized breakfast til Marnie barged in. And Marnie cheats again, so surprising. With Desi. Gross. how many scenes have we had now with Marnie on the toilet? I did like how happy she was for Hannah tho. Elijah wanting to borrow Hannah's room for a networking orgy and her being so fine with it made me laugh. I love Elijah so hard. Chelsea Peretti looked great.

See, that's the Milo from "Heroes" who I never liked. I like bearded Jack. Just not porn'stache Jack.

Yeah, but older pony tail guy was SUCH a creep. Rainer is smarmy, and a lot older, but he's also charming and Phil loves him. I love Sal. I mean, I hate her, she's awful, but I find her hilarious. I love how much she and Lily hate each other.

apparently this guy:

I keep watching even tho I hate these women most of the time and I can't even answer why. I am unsure. It's kind of the same dynamic I had/have the SATC and 'girls'. I don't really like ANY of those women consistently, tho I do sometimes, but I watched/watch every single episode, often multiple times, and hung/hang on til the bitter end. I LIKE the shows, despite being so annoyed by the characters half the time that I want to throw things at them. I'm generally not into S&M but apparently I am when it comes to certain television shows. I like the actors, I think they're all attractive and talented, so there's that. I have always liked Lisa Edelstein, and I sometimes like Abby. She didn't bug me nearly so much on this episode, tho I just can't with her aging, weird, desperately inappropriate outfits most of the time. I dislike how immature the characters all are, and this comes from someone who is about their age but still feels about 27 and still acts 14 half the time. They just all seem emotionally stunted and deeply shallow, and I really wouldn't like to know any of them. Yet I feel compelled to watch weekly. I love that the 'face' chick (nadia Dajani) from that one episode of SATC is now one of the baseball moms here, the slightly less judgey one who found Abby n the coach making out. Not good that Coach didn't tell get around to telling Abby he's still living with his wife. I was certain Phoebe and her new rich friend (whose name I should remember, since she invokes it every three seconds, but don't) were about to start macking, and think it's probably on the horizon. I don't know what all the little random shots of French fries and cups and gift bags were about either. Just strange.
