  1. Personally, I doubt anyone who didn't vote this election would have been inspired to vote by Biden. In fact, more people probably would have stayed home (I know that was the first time I'd ever considered not voting. When your choices are a senile old man and a hateful old man who's also possibly senile, what's the point?). And anyone who was racist/misogynistic probably voted for Trump. So I doubt the end result would have been any different. If anything, Biden would have lost by a larger margin.
  2. Am I the only one who's kinda concerned for Michelle Obama? She missed Carter's funeral and now she's missing Trump's inauguration. Now, it could just be bad timing for Carter's funeral but the excuse they gave was she was on "extended vacation" in Hawaii, which could be legit or it could be that she's seeking some kind of medical treatment. And with Trump's inauguration, I get why she just wouldn't want to go. I'm just hoping that she doesn't have cancer or something.
  3. Which makes no sense since there are meta humans all over the place, half of them being heroes. It's like whenever they bring the X-Men in with other Marvel characters. Why would anyone be bothered by mutants when you've got a ton of other people walking around with powers they got in random ways? Also, they showed Dina going to school, going to the playground. People were obviously aware of her but all of a sudden no one knows who she is once she's on the news? And why didn't they sign her up for some sort of swim team? Argh, the more I think about this episode, the madder it makes me.
  4. WTF was that? I was really into the first five episodes of this show but last week was a bit of a nothing burger for me and then this finale? Are you kidding me? Nina dies (And why was she in prison, exactly? For the crime of swimming naked?) and then the princess storyline is wrapped up in the dumbest, quickest way possible. Ugh, I was all excited about this getting renewed for season 2 but now, eh, I'm not sure I'm even going to bother.
  5. This was my least favorite episode so far. One, there's a weird current of pervy-ness running through this show that icks me out. From the unnecessary sex scene with the princess and Flagg Sr, to the unnecessary brothel subplot in this episode, to the guard at Throne's house reading the unnecessary porno mag. Not one of those things advances the plot in any way. It's just there to be there. Also, why is the Bride now in underwear? Again, completely unnecessary and just weird. Two, Dr. Phosphorus had a pretty "meh" backstory. So far, it's been the least interesting and the least original. And why would he think it was a good idea to try and screw over not just an organized crime boss, but a hostile foreign government? That was just dumb. And then for him to murder Throne's children? Yeah, not my favorite character. I'm assuming this ends on a cliffhanger since I don't think they can wrap everything up in one more episode. Though I believe this has already been renewed for season 2, so bring on the cliff!
  6. I cannot handle bad stuff happening to kids. Totally cried at the end of this episode once Weasel's backstory was completely revealed. Though now that I'm drained emotionally, wouldn't the cops have kinda pieced together what happened? The kids were obviously killed by the explosion so while I get why they would have kept Weasel to study, I don't think they would have concluded that he was a murderer. Also, two cops and neither of them tries to save the kid? The kid who is obviously still alive? That was just sad for sad's sake. EDIT: Also, I'm guessing the princess is some centuries old, energy sucking vampire type thing bent on world domination. That would explain why the queen looks like she does and why she seduced Flagg Sr (probably figured he'd be useful to her later and look, here he is trying to warn her).
  7. Maybe she could trade it in and get a less expensive car instead? I think you'd have to compare the extra money in taxes to the cost of possible maintenance for an older car.
  8. I would say it comes off as vanity, more than anything. Jonathan constantly mugging for the camera and saying crass stuff just to be outrageous for no reason. Antoni giving pouty looks in every dance transition shot. Jeremiah seems to actually be sincere but the rest? Eh, it seems a lot more about them than the "hero" of the week. They're probably just bored with it after nine seasons and should have moved on when Bobby did, but here we are. That being said, I am enjoying this season a lot...but if they announced a new cast next season (save for Jeremiah), I wouldn't be upset.
  9. I just finished that one. I kept hoping that they would offer to pay for the woman to get a breast reduction, but alas, they did not. I've known two women that got them in the past few years (one was an E cup prior, not sure about the other as I only met her post surgery) and they both said it was a great decision. I know it would be a massive gift but still, I was holding out hope for her. I'd say so far that's been the best episode of the season for me as that woman and her child really needed help and she was so grateful to receive it.
  10. My husband and I actually saw Piff the Dragon in Vegas about five years ago. He was really good! I'm assuming the entire purpose of him being on the show was to get himself all fixed up to propose to the girlfriend (and free promotion), because we met him after our Vegas show and he didn't come off awkward at all, so I don't think he really needed help otherwise.
  11. Yeah, I just started the wedding episode and I think I'm just going to fast forward or skip it completely. If they really wanted to get married, they could have. My wedding was planned in six months and there were 200+ guests (my husband and I both have large extended families). They could have had that thing planned and done before she even started showing. And I can't with people who feel the need to say things like, "I don't want a traditional wedding." We get it, you're so not like other girls. EDIT: Okay, I fast forwarded to end. What exactly was "non-traditional" about this wedding? Her floral dress? Because all the rest was pretty standard. Ugh, I just feel like these people were lazy and looking for a free wedding. I don't need every episode to be a sob story, but I would prefer it be people that need actual help.
  12. I feel that this is a trend on shows right now. Like, Hollywood hired a bunch of writers with family issues and they're all working them out via their scripts.
  13. Are you kidding me? This show finally gets Keith David to guest star and it's as Ava's father instead of Barbara's brother? Come on! Those two have so much freakin' gravitas in their voices, it's insane to not have them play siblings. Ugh, it's like when they cast Taraji P. Henson to play Janine's mother instead of Sherri Shepherd. Wasn't a fan of this episode. As others have stated, they've been doing Holiday/Winter shows for years (even my public school in freakin' Utah in the early 90s had a holiday show, where we sang a mix of winter songs, Christmas songs and Hannukah songs), so I'm not believing that the scenario shown would even happen. And Jacob really got on my nerves this episode. You're the older brother, act like it! Being rude to this brother because he's mad at his parents is just ridiculous.
  14. Just finished watching this for the first time (Got halfway though season 2 on Netflix before I realized I could watch it on Max without commercials). I really enjoyed it but I hate how they had Keith go out. It didn't even make sense. One, he was a cop/bodyguard, not anything dealing with transporting money and two, if you own the business, you're probably not out there personally transporting stuff at age 61. It's especially insulting since everyone else got to die at a nice old age rather peacefully. If they wanted him to go out early, they could have at least given him a better death (pushing a grandkid out of the way of a speeding car or something) instead of having him go violently and alone.
  15. Moana 2 comes out on Nov. 27th.
