I finally got my TLC Go app working again! Mike is fucking stupid. At this point, I hope Ximena takes all his money and his friends clown him to his face.

I get that they had to make it obvious it was heroin, but was/is heroin available as a liquid injectable? All my movie knowledge is of heroin in powder form or crystal form that has to be cooked and injected.

Yep. There was an episode of Mad Men (maybe the first episode) where Joan took Peggy to the doctor to get her on the pill. The prescribing doctor said he would take her off it if he felt like she was abusing it (by having sex). And this was from a doctor who generally looked the other way for pay.

Every time Mrs. Morris pulls the self righteous widow act, I laugh. She and her husband meant for the fate that smacked them in the face to befall The Russels. When you dig a grave for your enemy, dig two. Its weird saying this because all these people are terrible robber barrons. But Mrs. Morris gets on my last nerve.

We’re supposed to forget that straight black men were getting lynched in the 60s, meaning that Midge outing a gay black man was totes no big deal and she’s the real victim/ doesn’t have a bunch of people dedicating multiple seasons to making sure she suffers little to no consequences for her harmful attention seeking at others expense. Blech! As long as she turns on the waterworks and does a comedy set about revenge, it’s really women’s empowerment we’re watching. Not the genesis of a Karen. I’m pretty grossed out by this season so far.

Ageeed, except for the Russels maybe being accepted if they were less showy. Nope. Agnes gave up the plot in the first episode: old money rules, new money drools. There is/was nothing the Russell’s could do to gain acceptance other than just taking it. Old money is bigoted and trying to maintain control and “pure” status. The Russels could lay prostrate before the old money families, and they’d still be laughed at and stepped on. The only thing they can do to get past that is to break their obstacles. I’m not crying for old money. They’ve likely destroyed many in the same way they tried to destroy George Russell.

They just decided Big was gonna be this person who wouldn’t have estate planning and burial worked out (Ignore him leaving Natasha $1,000,000). Fits with New Big, a guy who’s suddenly into Yacht Rock, even though we’ve only ever heard him play/sing jazz standards and ballads. And yes, Carrie is shitty for burying him on another continent right after his brother asked about burying him in the family mausoleum.

Rock is a colossal brat. They couldn’t have the not wanting a They-Mitzvah conversation with Charlotte and Harry well before the big event?

This is Miranda’s “But you’d be going for you” moment reminiscent of Carrie’s plan to move to Paris with Big. She’s just too out of it to see it.

I’m in a delay because my TLC app was acting up, but Ben talking about Mahogany’s love of the Lord and being ok with no sex before marriage while she’s wearing a bikini top is too much. Also, I’m not surprised a former youth pastor is predatory re: age difference. Those creeps were looking for wives/girlfriends amongst the high school freshman class in my day.

Ben reminds me of that Bowflex commercial from years ago who was “50 and in a band.”

So many red flags.

You make a very good case for Miranda. But then, I never liked Steve. After the first movie where her friends had a non-reaction to Steve’s cheating while acting like Big leaving Carrie T the altar was the worst thing ever, I’ve felt like Miranda needed to ditch this friend group and meet new people. Carrie pretending like marriage vows are so sacred after the way she treated Natasha (then and now) is so phony. I still don’t like Che (Sorry to the fabulous Sara Ramirez). Miranda should see other people.
