People did but it’s still hard to hear people thought you looked pregnant. It was pretty relentless and she actually responded she was not doing well mentally with the bombardment of questions about her looks. Especially since I’m sure it’s not an easy day for her either. I don’t think anyone meant any ill and were excited about the possibility of Dina/Garret babies.  It’s  important to know she’s a real person and like most women, has complained feelings about her body. Most women have worn a top that have gotten questions and it never feels great. Comments (even positive ones) about your body can be hard.

I’d like this 100 times if I could. She’s replied to a couple of tweets about her body today. 😞

Amy quit her Zephra job, so there was no reason she had to stay in California. It wasn't shown for which city council Jonah was running, so it could have been anywhere.

His election signs have the gateway arch on them, so they must be in St. Louis. 
 

I enjoyed it. I’m usually disappointed in series finales, but I thought they nailed it.

Was he enjoying it in every scene though? I got the impression that he liked it at first, but then the guy was becoming violent. And he was clearly desperate to then leave that house and he didn't sleep with anyone else or even try to, so something must have gone badly enough for him to close himself off afterwards.

I do think he did enjoy it. The last bit in the last scene is Colin moaning “yeah!” I more got the impression that football shirt was having trouble accepting his own sexuality, and hated himself for enjoying sex with men. He wanted the room dark, and kept his clothes on, and called Colin a “bender,” as if he wasn’t gay himself. I do think he was rough, but I don’t think I would use the word violent for what was shown on screen. Colin seemed to really want a boyfriend, and football shirt was not going to be that for him. Also, the rules of the house were strict including doors locked at 10pm. No wonder Colin wanted to move! 

Colin really seemed to be hung up on Ritchie, so maybe he didn’t want casual sex with other people once he had met the one person he wanted to be his boyfriend, even though it was not reciprocated. 

[Miranda vs. Call Me Kat: Why Are There Cats in the Joke Shop?]

Thank you to one and all who tipped me off that Miranda exists. I’ve just finished season 2 and am loving it! 
 

I hope that CMK can find it’s way. I now feel the same as I did when the American version of The Office started.

Her drinking would not have been considered "heavy" by Soviet standards.

I went to a party hosted by Russians once. I swear we were toasting something with vodka (To all the children of the world!) every few minutes. 
 

I enjoyed the series. These days, I’m happy as long as things aren’t too dumb, predictable, or incongruous. This fit the bill nicely. Now to find the next thing to watch.

Brandon won. Good For Him. Broken Roots jinxed themselves with the double kings crossed fingers. One is good luck, two is a jinx. So they only have themselves to blame.

Congrats Brandon! I'm hoping for a resurgence of basement coffee houses and poetry slams. You know, the ones where we'd all snap our fingers in appreciation, beatnik style. Good times!

Those two grown men standing there with their fingers crossed like children was the funniest and weirdest moment of the night for me. 
 

Bad Salsa was the only act I would have wanted to win. I am in disbelief that they didn’t make the top 5. 

I would have been okay with the Canadian kid because I am Canadian, but as a rule, I never root for little girl singers, or even singers in general. 

Of the final 2, I’m glad Brandon won. 

[Ultimate Tag - General Discussion]

This has been great to watch with my teen son and we looked forward to it every week. We agree with the areas that other posters have said need tweaking. The other one that bugs us is the second tagger on the final course. They just stand on the pyramid and wait for the people to climb up.

I’m so glad I saw this after I finished watching!!

[S01.E06: Episode 6]

These posts about turtle parenting have me giggling. I think the statements about the environment each week are a little tiresome for me - especially last week’s, which seemed forced. It’s reminiscent of Sergio on Project Runway.

There was a voiceover saying most of the students at the high school had consented to fingerprinting. 

Thanks! I must have been scrolling my phone. I’m finding this show a little slow, but not in the good way. 

[S01.E02: Everything Is Cool]

Is no one watching this? 

I need someone to explain to me how they matched Jacob’s prints to the sweater before he had been arrested. 

[S01.E02: Haute Couture]

Some of the pieces featured in Jonny’s introduction gave me David Rose (Schitt’s Creek) vibes, so I love that! I hope that he has better weeks to come. 

Watching the judges touching the clothes on the models made me appreciate how on PR, they frequently show the judges ask if they can take a closer look, and they often show Brandon say hello to the model. Maybe the same happened here, but it felt off - maybe because most of their comments were so harsh.

Overall, I preferred this to the first. Looking forward to the next two! 

[S01.E01: Heidi and Tim Are Back]

This felt long for me, but I’m still here for it. Also here for all of the shots of Paris. 

Speaking of, what a waste of carbon emissions, flying everyone to NYC just to turn around and fly them to Paris for some lame attempt at drama. 

I don’t mind the seamstress angle, but I’m having trouble wrapping my mind around a designer that can’t sew at all. Maybe that’s normal. I’m not into fashion at all, but I’m all about all of these shows. 

Good thing I’m not there with all of those fabric shears. I’m not sure I could keep myself from lopping off the butterflies on Martha’s shoes, or Esther’s hair for that matter. I know - shallow and immature, but hey - at least I can acknowledge my shortcomings. 

I haven’t seen all of the PR seasons since I did not get the channel it was on for a while. When I found it again just this last season, I was so happy to see Christian as the mentor. It was reinforced by seeing Tim, who I used to think I liked. Maybe if he still said “make it work” it would be better? His over the top declaration about the next big designer/brand being in the room was just about too much for me. 
 

In spite of it all, I’m looking forward to more. Just keep the aerial shots of Paris coming. 

[Miracle Workers - General Discussion]

@nodorothyparker, after every episode I say to my husband, “What a weird little show,” so I love that you described it the same way. 
 

I really do enjoy this show, and I hope it gets a third season! I find so many comedies to be predictable and the jokes obvious, and often recycled, but this is always funny and catches me off guard with the humour. Stuff just comes straight out of left field.

The story about someone unknowingly having sex with a couch sounded very familiar to me.

Did Elizabeth on The Americans tell Paige a similar story? Where a guy had sex with a couch instead of her, and she decided to let him think he'd penetrated her, to spare his feelings?

 

On 2/22/2020 at 8:35 PM, sistermagpie said:

Yes, she did! (Though I think Elizabeth was lying because she doesn't have any sex stories that don't involve her job.) I thought the same thing when he was telling that story: how many guys does this happen to and are all couches really that fuckable?

Also, Please Like Me. Claire tells Josh’s mom that the first time they had sex, they did not actually because he was between her and the sheets.

And as some said upthread, with part of the prize being a CFDA mentorship, do Sergio or Victoria really have a chance to win unless the other two really tank.   

It has crossed my mind that Sergio may think that he will be the mentor in that situation should he win.

[S06.E07: Moira Rosé]

I loved this episode! I rarely laugh out loud when watching tv alone, but when David said “I said radish” and his reaction to Herbert’s (or is it pronounced ”Erbert?”) response struck me as so funny!

@Harvey made such a good point about the loving relationships, both well established and fledgling. 
 

I tried watching this once on my sister’s recommendation, but I gave up after 2 or 3 episodes. We were together one evening when my dad was dying in the hospital, and we wanted something light to put on, so she put on Schitt’s Creek. I heard my uncle come home and mutter “stupid show” when he saw what was on.  This time, I kept watching once I was home again, and still needing something kind of light to escape reality for short periods of time. I started to enjoy it, but thought it was funny but shallow. During an episode in season 4 or 5, it hit me very suddenly what a lovely show it is. It may seem stupid or shallow, and David wears weird clothes, and Roland is annoying af, but at the heart of it, is love. It’s a show about supporting, and accepting and loving. What a gift it has been. 

 

[Kids Baking Championship - General Discussion]

That was such a bad twist! Sometimes they make sense like making ice cream last week or to go with pie, or a side for your dessert imposter, but this one was just dumb. And Val pouting saying she doesn’t want to eat raw pizza dough -  well, how about you don’t  make them make pizza in an Italian rainbow cookie challenge. 

[AGT The Champions: All Episode Discussion]

I was happy to see the sand lady back, but I’m annoyed that they didn’t just leave the camera shot close up on the art she was creating. I do not need to see the two musicians, though I can see why they would cut to them. I really don’t need to see the judges, or a wide shot of the theatre and I really, really don’t need to see randos in the audience!

Two things that have bugged me for the 10000 years that I’ve been watching this show have cropped up in this episode:

1) Why do people help their competition? Ever? Do I run down a football field and hand the defense the ball? Do I interrupt a debater to give her an argument point that she should make, for her side? Do I hit a tennis ball out of bounds and say, “Just didn’t think you were doing well enough. Let me help you beat me.” 
I’m not even competitive by nature. This, for me, just falls into that old thing called “common sense.” I’d actually prefer that people get eliminated if caught helping a competitor. 
 

2) What is the obsession with finding fault with a garment looking like ONE other famous garment? In contrast, most of the garments look like a million other garments. 

There are many, many examples of people helping other people in sports competitions. It’s good sportsmanship to do so. 

I loved the onesies! I would have been in one at the first opportunity. I would have gone to the tie dye lesson in it.

 We are the same person. It's small but it drives me nuts. Maybe because you can tell she's milking that moment with the very deliberate hand gestures, etc. My husband kept asking why I was tripping off that. Can't explain it so bless you for understanding.😋

I’m glad I’m not alone with my irrational reaction to it. I mean, do it once to start the runway show if you must, but why multiple times? 

Now every time it happens, know I’m glancing over to share a knowing look with you. 👀

I’m not @Jessa but I believe in something like her second option. To me it’s leaving the physical behind but not necessarily individual consciousness or relationships. As for the details I have literally no clue. It just shows how different people are because to me the physical world is so limiting that the idea of existing beyond that is exciting. 

You nailed it. 👍🏻

Years ago I saw a panel discussion on the afterlife with a mix of people and their beliefs (rabbi, traditional Christian and atheist).

The comment that has stayed with me is the idea that human imagination is limited to what we know.  The afterlife is completely unknowable to us.  As a result we tend to imagine it to involve things we imagine would make us happy.....peace, knowledge, contentment, music - -whatever.  

Even as a child that is what I thought of (and that I would be able to ace every test w/o studying) heaven and then, even as I was imagining that - - why I would get bored.

SO as humans our limits prevent us from understanding what TGP would really be like and we cannot ever imagine an accurate vision because of our limitations......

And thus the afterlife was and is now unknowable and will always remain so to those of us alive on earth.

To me the ending perfectly demonstrated that.

I hope I accurately represented this point of view.

Yes!!! This is exactly how I’ve been thinking about it.
