    Also why introduce Stephanie here and not show her. Where's that Johnson family focus I thought we were getting.  Instead its Kristen and gimmicks getting more airtime. 

    Ron said that the original intent was to get Shelley Hennig to play Stephanie in the first episode. The explosion would happen, her face would be covered in bandages, they’d remove the bandages and NuStephanie would be in her place. Since Shelley was unavailable the gimmick didn’t work and I guess they didn’t have much else planned for NuStephanie.

  2. I’m glad the show had the foresight to preshoot the scenes with the OG Big Three kids. They were such a big sort of the show and it wouldn’t have felt right to end without seeing them. 
     

    This show has packed such a big emotional punch for so many years, ending it in such a simple note feels weird but I see what they were going for.

  3. Surprise, surprise. It was Sophie all along. 

    This really didn’t need to be drawn out in one episode. I wonder if we would’ve had all of this back and forth with Kevin if the actress who plays Sophie hadn’t booked Virgin River. 
     

    Anyway, I’m glad it wasn’t the wedding singer and I’m glad Cassidy won’t be subjected to Pearson speeches for the rest of her life. Onward.

    Why is he bringing it up now and now it's an issue when at the time he said he didn't have an issue. 

     

    I’ve been in similar situations and I can tell you that when it happens, it may not bother you as much until you’ve had time to work through it or you go into survival mode to push it down.  You respond how others want you to respond (so many people were commenting on how well he handled himself), you know you can’t respond with the same energy as the aggressor because then you’ll be the bad guy, you’re in the workplace and don’t want to mess up your livelihood.  Sometimes when you bring things like this up, people challenge you on it and essentially tell you to get over it. It just so happens we are living in times where people are more receptive to our feelings, so maybe now it felt safe for him. Whatever his reason is for bringing it up now, it’s his issue to deal with and bring up  as he sees fit. We all process trauma differently (and it’s traumatic every time it happens).

  5. I’d love to be wrong about this, but there’s no way Joshua Jackson returns for more than an episode or two.  He has a lot going on already, he’s been working steadily since D3 wrapped. Disney would have to work out a heck of a deal with lots of money to make it worth his while. I don’t think he’s as attached to this film as we are. 

    That being said, I’d love to see any of the original Ducks take over.  Elden Henson (Fulton) has always said that he’s absolutely indebted to this franchise and would do anything they ask of him. Matt Doherty (Averman) also seems to love being involved with the franchise as much as he can. He shows up to every reunion, autograph appearance, etc.  They have plenty of options but the execution would need to be stellar.

  6. They did a good job with this episode, showing how this impacts black people as individuals and also as a whole.  I didn’t want to watch it because I’m more of a Doug (I’ll drive myself crazy if I keep thinking of it type of person), but I’m glad I did.

  7. I knew that Madison and Kevin wouldn’t go through with it. 

    Ugh, I hated this British guy in A Million Little Things and I hate him here.  Toby got on my last nerves at first but come on. Definitely didn’t see Kate remarrying though, so there’s that.

    Wonder if this is related to the feds crawling around the various Duggar properties.  And...will JB bail him out.

       

    No bail. He messed up BIG time. Also, his booking info is out there (not sure if it’s okay to post) so this is absolutely true.

  9. It makes me so sad how they treat Aneesa in this game. Every season it ends like this for her and it’s so maddening. Growing up and watching as a little black kid, it was never lost on me that they sent the black people in first when their backs were against the wall. I believe with everything I have that this is a big part of the reason why Leroy and Aneesa are still fighting so hard for their first challenge win.  I really liked that Aneesa pointed out that all of the women left are WOC. That’s so important and it’s such a big change. WOC hardly got any respect until recently, and even then they had to prove themselves over and over again.  So while I have a bad taste in my mouth about how they treat Aneesa every season, I’m so happy to see the WOC left up there.

    The thirteen year old girl in me jumped out with those Russian Dolls. That’s Hanson. I am so sure. But I’ve been sure and wrong before. That sounded like three part harmony.

    I would bet everything I own that you’re not wrong.  I’m so sure that I couldn’t decide if this needed a spoiler tag.

     I mean I could be wrong too, but I’d be embarrassed if I saw them in concert 63 times and still got it wrong.

  11. Jessa Expecting Baby 4

    "After the heartbreaking loss of a baby last year, we’re overjoyed to share that another little Seewald is on the way!" the couple said in a statement to ET. "The pregnancy is going smoothly, and both baby and Jessa are doing well. We are so grateful to God for the precious gift of a new life! The kids are delighted, and we can hardly wait to welcome this little one into our arms this summer."

  12. I really thought birth mom was going to change her mind about letting Kate and Toby adopt her baby. 

    Side note: As someone who has seen Hanson 63 times in concert, the Mmmbop reference was a nice treat!

    I think it’s possible but if I had to guess, it would be with the consent of the Double Agents, Fessy, and/or Nelson and Amber.

    Since we now know that he begged Tori not to put him in, I bet he knew that Fessy couldn’t give it to him but was putting on a show for the cameras.

    I thought I saw a little emotion on Barry’s face but Kim didn’t even look sad talking about her dead son. I know it’s been years but I would never be able to talk about something like that without crying.

    I think that Kim has had to detach herself as much as she can from the situation and that includes masking facial expressions/voice/demeanor.   Disengagement is definitely a form of coping (or not coping) and this is probably the only way she can function.  It’s scary but understandable. 
     

    Or there’s just something seriously wrong with her. There’s always that.

  15. Olivia and Ethan’s couples tattoo made me really uneasy.  I’m admittedly not a big fan of the idea in the first place because that’s almost a sure fire way to regret a tattoo in the future, but the idea of getting to one as an attempt to solidify an already broken relationship is insane to me.

    Ethan seemed really uncomfortable about it to the point of near tears, but Olivia was so pushy and condescending when he expressed how he was feeling.  From that point it was almost like he had to go through with it, even with all of her “Are you suuurreee you want it?” We talk a lot about the patriarchy and how controlling the men are in these families, and that’s absolutely true, but I can’t imagine how much more outrageous this would seem if Ethan were as pushy as Olivia in this relationship.

    I generally like Olivia but this was a lot.

    I’ve always been amused by southern pronunciations of certain cities.  There’s a town in Southern Missouri, Hayti,  pronounced Hay-Tie. Then there’s DeKalb, Georgia, pronounced De-Cab. 

    I was thinking of Hayti when they kept saying Cairo.  My family is from Hayti and people always look at me like I’m crazy and ask 1. Why I’m pronouncing it like that, and 2. How I plan on driving to Haiti.

    It’s hard not to compare this family to the Duggars, especially when they feel like a gateway drug/alternate universe version of each other.  These parents creep me out so much more, but the sibling relationships are more genuine. Especially amongst those siblings who have left and the older two who were left behind.  I think that even if Ethan, Moriah, and Micah stray further, Lydia and Isaac will still want to have a relationship with them. 

    Watching these oldest kids try to awkwardly navigate emotions and communication within their relationships is rough. It’s clear that they were never taught how to communicate what they were feeling or how to deal with other people who have feelings. Such a disservice.

    question, if you don't have the premium account do you not get to see all the episodes?  We watched the pilot just not sure it's worth paying for......

    I just signed up for the free trial to watch the rest, and then cancelled it. It was worth the free trial and cancellation. 

  18. Jo is a weirdly humble way to end an elegant name like Evangeline but I get the shortness.  They wanted to honor the “Joseph” in Jeremy’s name.  Any variation of “Joanna” or “Johanna” would have been too close to her 3 sisters with the same name.  “Evangeline Josephine” (too much of a rhyme scheme) or “Evangeline Josephina” would have been a mouthful.

  19. I knew a couple of Evangelines in college. They just went by Evangeline. One of them was the daughter of the head of the Religion department. Her father spoke weekly at chapel and always referenced Bonhoeffer. The pretentiousness of the name checks out, although it is beautiful.
