Is there an Unpopular Opinion thread there? Cuz I have several, I guess. I really like Regan and think Megan Fox is hilarious. I'm uncertain I buy her and Nick as a real couple, but I get why they'd find each other attractive. I also find Robby amusing, or maybe I just like the actor. and I still find this show very funny. So CeCe only intends on working with male models? Seems limiting.

Y'all's memories are impressive. I have no idea what my rent or house payments in the 80s, or what I made. None. I do know that no matter what it was, whether I lived alone, with roommates or my (ex) husband, I never ever ever had enough money, not even for just me, (even tho I always worked, often two jobs,) let alone if I'd suddenly found I was having a litter of 3 babies. I never had a gambling problem or a drug problem or a shopping addiction. I was just poor. I'm not quite as poor anymore, and live with my S.O, and our condo mortage is lower than most rents around my parts these days, but we still never have quite enough money and I can't imagine having to support offspring. Some of us just aren't good with money planning and being grownups and making significant salaries, maybe, I don't know. So I quite empathize with Jack and Rebecca.

omg, I just googled these, having never heard of them and man, now I want. Waaay too much. I say 'gallon of ice cream' not even being aware that what we really get is a half gallon. I have no concept of size or measurement or how many ounces or quarts in a thing. I really just mean I want a shit-ton of ice cream, please, that I COULD eat all at once but won't. And clearly Rebecca does not.

This was my fave episode in awhile. It felt like an older episode, which is a good thing. DeDe and Jay have always been so ugly with, and about, one another that their being polite, even kind, even sentimental with each other was really sweet. And I do love the different dynamics it brought...Clare and Mitchell without their respective partners, Jay away from Gloria and Cam, Haley and Alex scheming together. Fun. I'm still a little worried about that completely adorable tiny pig-a-let tho. What became of it?

exactly. I think she really wanted Jack out of the house to have her ugly cry alone, but also, I don't think the craving for ice cream indicates anything except, you know, ice cream is delicious. I might often say 'I need a gallon of ice cream' and I might BUY a gallon of ice cream, but I do not EAT a gallon of ice cream at once. Yep. That's why it was just so unbelievable to me. Kevin's a dolt, but that was the worst. I don't much like Toby but I don't hate him. He's annoying, but Kate has been just as, if not more, weird and neurotic and creepy as he has. The ex-wife-stalking had me yelling "Run, Toby!". Maybe they are well matched, cuz they're both so weird.

Oh, and he was also drunk, the dad. Which made you wonder, of course, about Jack's drinking.

yes...the opening scenes were of Jack's dad being verbally and perhaps almost physically abusive to Jack's mom, as a young, teenaged Jack looked on, and then stepped in to try to defend her. It appeared that the dad might hit him, for a second, but then he just sneered and left the room/house. Jack's mom made him promise to not turn out like his father.

I would agree with you if this was said in a serious conversation, but she was flirting with her husband to get him into the tub with her. The sexual preference was an innuendo/play on words, not an actual discussion on the subject of sexual orientation. I mean, you may be right, and some of the writing may be tone deaf due to lack of LGBT folks on the writing staff, but I don't think this is a real representation of that.

oh, Blair Brown!! I would LOVE to see Molly Dodd check into AHS. She is totally the next older diva queen Ryan Murphy should embrace.

That was the weirdest, most manufactured-for-drama seeming bit of dialogue, for me. So Kevin will continue to date Sloane, even tho it's not what he wants? Wtf kind of thing is that to do, or say? I know Kevin's tactless and impulsive, but that was beyond my comprehension. Also: a woman like Olivia--or hell, any woman who is still into a guy--would have seized upon that. He was brushing her off, yes, but he was also telling her she was the one he actually wanted. Olivia would have used that to get him back into bed in no time flat. The whole scene just rang untrue for me. If Sloane can still continue to see him after hearing that, she has no pride. I didn't actually want Toby to die, but I wouldn't have much cared if he did, either. And for them to suddenly be talking marriage? Ugh. I do think the showrunners think we, like his doctor, find Toby adorable and charming. I don't. And Kate's immediate disgust that he didn't want the surgery was out of line. Surgery is a big thing; people need time to process that shit. And: she really seemed to be saying that she loves Toby because nobody else has ever loved her. I mean...I guess plenty of people marry for worse reasons, but it all seems sad. wtf is a Caesar salad with no dressing or anchovies? Go away, Rebecca's mom. I'm assuming Jack's mom and his horrible dad were no longer together by the time Jack was asking to borrow money from him. Randall and his 'am I homophobic' concerns were funny. I love Randall when he's all twirly and freaked out. I also love Kevin's casual humor over the whole situation, WITH William. They amuse me together. And I did love seeing the big three at the hospital together. Funny.

If we're going to get a Randall co worker, I'd rather just have Jimmi Simpson/Andy back.

I'm frankly only still here cuz of Nick, which I realize is a controversial thing. I love the guy, I find him very compelling to watch. But that's me. Otherwise, I don't much care either. So if you don't have even one reason you're still hanging in there...why bother? Delete from the DVR. (but no way would I rather watch Negan than this. or than...almost anything.)

I honestly can't see how they can get rid of Rayna in any way that's believable, except to kill her. Or just talk about her and have her show up occasionally when Britton is available, but shift focus to other people and not have her be the star. I can't buy her just flaking on her kids. Deacon, maybe, but not her kids, not long term.

Yeah, I guess it depends on how you define cheating. Kissing another man while still in a relationship qualifies as a form of cheating, for me, anyhow, and apparently for Josh. Even if it's just one time. There was an episode back in Season one, I think, that didn't necessarily explain WHY Kelsey (and Lauren) were living there, except that it's cheap, I guess, and NYC is expensive, but revealed that they both did. And that Lauren's dad is kind of a creepy skeeve.

It definitely feels like new writers. I loved 'my so called life' and 'thirtysomething' and I can feel the fingerprints of those folks all over this already. There will be melodrama, but it will be well done. I too liked that they got right to what happened to Juliette. I know she's going to continue to push pretty pretty Avery away in future episodes, but for now, it was nice to see them smiling at each other. Rayna looked very Thelma and Louise there at the end. Is Callie Khouri still actively involved? Oh, never mind, just looked it up, she directed the episode. well done. I liked the mystikal magickal music tonite. That's the kind of thing that, if handled too sentimentally or broadly, is really cringe-y, but Juliette just happening upon the church with her 'angel' and the old man just happening to be singing 'wayfaring stranger' (which: cold chills) was all very purposeful and deliberate, yet subtle enough to not feel forced. I don't even believe in that kind of stuff, but it worked for me. It all reminded me very much of the Juliana Hatfield/xmas episode of 'my so called life'. All in all, it was just nice to have the show back.

wow. people are dicks.

SJP's hair touching doesn't bother me; I don't even notice it. Probably because I do it myself, and hide behind my hair too. All those chicks on award shows with high ponies? I admire them, esp if they're over a certain age, like I am, and SJP is. I'm like Jeffrey Dean Morgan on "walking dead": once he shaved off his beard, it revealed saggy skin and old people face. I need my hair to hide shit, yo. I am more than ready for Robert's 'stache to be gone too, and can't figure out why he still has it, except that Frances hates it. I still often don't get this show either, what it's going for, what it's trying to be, but I'm weirdly compelled to watch it every week. I liked the scenes with the kids missing the bus, the way they interacted rang true to me. I liked the cop car pulling Frances over scene, I liked Frances' reaction to her Flight of the Conchord lovah showing up---the embarrassment, the disbelief that she'd ever fallen for his crap. I liked the scene between Frances and Robert at her gallery; there was actual tenderness there. So yeah, it makes it all the more frustrating when they don't just TALK to each other. I do not care at all about Molly Shannon's drunken weirdness and her terrible relationship with her husband (tho I like Tracy Letts). I will come back for next season. I'm curious.

On Talking Dead, they listed Red in the "memorium' sequence. That was the only way I got that Michonne had killed her myself. I was not at all clear on that before.

Shooting him, grabbing the straight razor and slitting his throat--Judith at least looked like she might have been contemplating that--bashing him over the head with that heavy glass pitcher of lemonade...something, anything!! I can't suspend the disbelief anymore either. I guess they're afraid of the henchmen, too? Still, I think I'd take one for the team and do it anyway. Altho that does just tend to get someone ELSE killed. JDM really needs the beard. He looks old, scrawny, saggy and dorky without it.

But then JDM won a Critic's Choice Award for best guest actor. Seriously? So they'll probably keep him on even longer and shove him down our throats even more.

He's stinking up "The Walking Dead" presently, in a thankless role.

I'm ready to jump off my roof if Hillary Duff is now considered fat, pudgy or chunky.

I'd be one to pick up something off the floor and use it without thinking--I'm a mess--so that part didn't gross me out. but the notion of Maggie wearing something that's been all up in Liza's hoo-ha for a month did. That sounds so familiar, but I can't place it. What book? I think Josh has every right to decide he might want kids. Liza obviously has every right to not want anymore. That's your classic impasse/deal breaker there. I really, really hope this show doesn't decide to saddle us with an actual pregnancy story. I generally can buy the conceit of this show with regard to Liza's fake age, but it's growing harder and harder for me to believe that someone--like Diana's new beau, or whoever--wouldn't say/think 'no way is that chick 26.' For everyone she meets to believe that is really stretching the boundaries of credulity for me.

I don't think anyone is convinced it is. I'm sure not. Just conjecture/speculation.

I hope it's not that, I really do. I think we, as an internet/tv lovin' society, have gotten so obsessed with clues and twists and easter eggs that we now look for them in everything, and many shows sure supply them (jimmi simpson's West World sure did, you practically needed to do homework to keep up with it), but I really hope this show doesn't become one. I won't be shocked if it does, but I hope not. Let Suicidal Andy just be Suicidal Andy, not Randall's doppelganger hallucination. Please.
