  1. I wish to God that every time Hillary does an interview, the goddamn interviewer doesn't ask her about Bill's cheating. This is constant humiliation of a person for what their partner did and has zero to do with anything. I am still mad a Bill...so mad. But he isn't my husband so it's not up to me. Everyone remember when the former slimy inhabitant of the White House invited those women from Bill's past to one of the pre-election debates to sit in the audience? So does Hillary have to carry that shit around forever? I hate that Sunny brought it up and I'm glad Hillary/Chelsea didn't really answer her and pivoted to another topic. There were lots of other clips that Sunny could have commented on. Compassion much, Sunny? (nothing to do with whether you like/agree with HC politically, I just think it was a cheap shot). For the record, while I'm no fan of Melania, I also think it was shitty when paparazzi asked her about Slimy's past peccadilloes a few years back - as much as I loathe him, it's her business, not ours. How are we liking the new chairs? The ones they replaced because everyone (ok, maybe just Joy) kept falling off? These new ones don't look super-comfortable either. I guess they can't use regular chairs as everyone would appear all squashed down.
  2. Thank God it's not just me. I appreciate Sunny's legal commentary, her intelligence (most of the time) not to mention her gorgeous hair. But I am over her rants. She wasn't even coherent today. I was drinking coffee while watching the show and literally was holding the mug halfway up to my mouth in shock while she was talking. She added nothing to the conversation. And Ana...I'm without words. I've never seen her be like that. You don't have to care about or like the Royal family. But if you're paid to share your "view", then you'd better bring something worthwhile to the table. There was an important kernel of truth somewhere in there, but it was completely washed over with the verbal garbage. And while we're at it, as nothing more than a casual observer, do I like Camilla & Charles's history? Not really, not prior to their marriage (or more specifically, not till after both Camilla & Charles were divorced from the previous spouses and were "free"). That's the Catholic in me. And the organizer - finish one "project" before you start another. But the only person who should really care (besides the now grown-up kids) died in a car crash...it's no one else's business besides her. The fact that William & Harry appear to have a more-than-cordial relationship with Camilla now says a lot. We can all learn, grow and forgive, Sunny...even royals! On a shallower note...I am so jealous of Sara's toned arms! Talk about guns of steel. Mine are currently mashed-potatoey. I'm usually in awe of Ana for her flawless hair & makeup, but due to today's craziness, I completely missed noticing if it was nice or not. PREACH!!!! Ouch.
  3. Yes we are...someone make a Costco run and get a mega-pack of Kleenexes please!
  4. Oh Miguel....we hardly knew ye. I didn’t realize I kinda needed this episode. I hated Miguel and his weird hair the first couple of seasons. Like all of us, Miguel has/had many sides. Some very moving and gorgeous moments this episode...and I’m ok with sentimentality at this stage of the game for this show, so bring it. For many of us, I’m sure there were some moments that absolutely resonated...we are not young forever and we should take comfort where we can, we shouldn’t be afraid to grow, we should leave room for the other guy’s point of view, love people for who they are (not who we want them to be). I’m a little sentimental right now as I just saw some close friends and family for the first time at a bridal shower this past weekend - first time in 2 yrs seeing most of them so the emotional floodgates are still open. My future comments might be a bit less mushy, lol.
  5. I’m trying to enjoy every minute of this show so will sit through some irritating scenes if I have to. I did enjoy Nicky with the ice bucket trying to put horrible images into Kevin’s head, LOL. I do wonder, as someone upthread just asked, why Nicky hasn’t interacted much with Randall or Kate since he’s seemingly become besties with Kevin. I was kind of hoping all the hints in Kevin’s room with the pink bra and the shawl and the poetry on napkins and all that would end up being red herrings, and that Kevin ended up alone (I mean, not forever, just that night). He and Cassidy wouldn’t have lasted long as romantic partners - I think they’re great as friends and coworkers. To me, their baggage would always be front & centre in a romantic relationship - who needs that drama? (I mean, we all go into relationships with some baggage, but we’re talking Pearson-caliber baggage). And I’m glad he didn’t end up with that dippy wedding singer - not a fan. And a terrible singer if you ask me! . And finally, I don’t buy that Sophie and Kevin have been pining for each other for 20+ years, I’m sorry, I just don’t. That kiss and everyone clapping in the background was dumb. Question - when Little Kevin wrote Sophie’s name on that Valentine card, did he never give it to her? If he did give it to her, presumably she would have kept it, for awhile at least (not 35 years!), so how would Kevin have it? Or did he write it but not give it to her, explaining why he would still have it in his possession? The mind boggles.
  6. Please yourself. Did I say anywhere I my comment that I think people don’t die in regular houses and then those houses get sold? Because I’m pretty sure I didn’t. We all have our own reasons for thinking or feeling whatever we think or feel. I reserve the right to call hoodoo. I am no stranger to death - my parents never hid that stuff from me and I've seen it close up. I ain't scared of no ghost. I respect that you feel differently. I'm actually glad that people brought up that Roseanne died in her home - that is a good point.
  7. Yeah, continuity isn’t a strong suit of this show. I don’t understand why Patton Oswalt doesn’t just sell his business to another funeral home company? Isn’t that easier and less wasteful? I agree it’s a shame to tear down a perfectly good building. I don’t really get that Becky & Darlene were “hung-up”, but surely it’s a bit weird to go house-hunting somewhere that is, I would posit, a bit unusual. Also that funeral home did not look home-like to me - like I wouldn’t walk in and think, hmm, I could really cozy this up. Nothing to do with hang-ups about the building and its previous occupants...we held a rollicking reception for friends in the basement event room at the Funeral home for my late dad. A few people were freaked out at first, but it was a lovely bright room and it turns out that lots of families used it. I still would not in a million years move into it though and I’m not superstitious about anything except for using a specific coffee mug on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays (is that weird? 😂 ). Different strokes for different folks, for sure.
  8. I look forward to this show every week. Even when it’s bad. And honey, sometimes it’s really bad.... I still do not buy that Darlene has enough money to buy a home/pay a mortgage. It wasn’t so long ago she could barely scrape together money to buy Mark a laptop. I’m willing to suspend my disbelief a bit (because otherwise I’d spend the time staring at the wall every Wednesday at 9pm instead of watching the show) as to the financial aspect of this storyline (the way I must suspend my disbelief when I watch When Calls the Heart, where women supposedly living in the early 20th century walk around town in full makeup with their hair down in beachy waves - but I digress). And I like the idea of Becky and Darlene teaming up to buy a house. But - as much as I love Patton Oswalt and happy to see him on the show - I HATE the idea of the girls buying a former funeral home. Just no. Seriously, you’ve waited this long, give it a few more months and see if any “normal” houses come on the market that you can afford. Who needs that bad hoodoo??? Stained glass and beautiful wood floors wouldn’t be enough to make me forget what it used to be - even if you renovate the crap out of it. And no Louise, having your barely-hangin-in-there husband in his late 60s try to build a house is not a good idea. If he were just sort of consulting/advising the girls, given his construction experience, that would be fine. But as other folks above have mentioned, he cannot “build” a house on his own. A house isn’t a Lego set. And Louise and the family are going to “help”, are they now. Um, how exactly? Do they all have secret construction skills we don’t know about? The dialogue and storylines are so uneven...most of the actors have such a weird way of delivering their lines...I don’t get it. I still want to watch though because I loved the original show from way back. And I so miss the old original Jackie. This Jackie is a complete wackadoo. And not in a good way.
  9. Oh, please don't mature-up Mark so fast! I have a nephew approaching that age and kept seeing him in my mind's eye during Mark's storyline. This old cool auntie can't take it, so soon! Plus Mark is so much taller than that "friend" of his, it weirded me out. Still love the actor playing Mark though (I'm a sucker for any actor with such clear diction - so many people on screen generally are mush-mouths). I'm probably most interested in Becky's story overall...I really hope she sticks with college and keeps building her confidence. I really like Lecy Goranson, yet her way of speaking still drives me a bit crazy...she yells all her lines and sometimes she isn't even directly facing her scene partner - it's weird. I hated, hated, hated when she slept with that old high school friend...it was so forced and a stupid path for her story. Loved that she connected with the youngsters in her class...not easy, been there and good on her for doing it. Yes, Jackie's hair is much improved in this episode.
  10. This episode gave me a headache. The sliding back & forth between the various "shades" of the various Joes...too much. I do not buy Joe being what, 32? Seems older to me. On a shallow note, I also do not buy any of the hairdo's he has in any scene...they all look like hairpieces. The letters from Joe's dad....I was expecting something earth-shattering....kind of a let-down. Neither Jenny nor Amy is interesting enough to hold my attention...they are both so annoying, in all three Joe lives! I cannot see what Joe sees in them. Jenny is a blend of wishy/washy/bitchy (wishy??). Amy doesn't know what she wants and is boring. Though the other week when she expressed how she felt about kids probably not being in her life and her being ok with that, I thought she did a great job in that scene. Not a huge fan of the Amy actress generally though, from other shows...she has a grating quality when she's on screen. I do like the Eric character - he kind of lights up the screen a bit, which none of the other actors really do for me. Will I watch next week? Why yes, yes I will....I gotta see this show through and see whether the premise holds till the end of the season. I can't imagine being interested past this season, though.
  11. Yes, it's not like Rory not to check the start time of the meeting herself instead of just relying on what Paris (at the time her archenemy) told her. But this brings me to the stupid, powerless teachers at that school. Miss Whats-her-face in that newspaper meeting and then on other episodes there is a male teacher (the whom Paris calls "Bedwetter") - they just sit back and let Paris talk to her peers like that? Yeah, yeah, they're trying to teach kids how to act in the real world, how to speak up for yourself, etc. - here's an idea, how about modeling that for the kids and not letting them poop all over each other?
  12. Yeah...except money isn't everything. Randall has a hole in his life story, only partially filled by the relationship he got to have with William. It's natural for him to wonder about his mother, about what could have been. William and Laurel weren't just drug addicts in a tenement - they were people first. Laurel was beautiful, young, had ambition, and William was a dreamer, a poet. Yes, in practical terms, the fact that their lives were partly consumed and then tragically altered by addiction can't be denied, and yes, practically speaking, no child should have to grow up in insecure or dangerous conditions, so yes, Randall escaped all that. But you can be raised or loved by flawed people, and still hunger for that connection, still want to know a mother or father who isn't perfect but is the reason we exist. (I get not everyone feels that, but I'm speaking for myself). I can't believe just because Randall was raised by a "nice", white family in a good home, he wouldn't have questions and heart-searching as he got older about his origins. He knows he was left behind as a baby, and it's not a coincidence that he tries to rewrite history by trying to control people, situations and outcomes. So it's not a case of "get over it". Get me? Having said that - yes, I would love for him to dial back the drama and not be the death's head at every feast (I think that is the expression?). I hope he continues with therapy with a new therapist and we get to see that evolution. I am coming around to liking Madison (mostly 'cause she's not another Pearson!). I remember the character as very brittle/fragile earlier on, and used to find her annoying. She seems more level-headed and dare I say it, grown up now. Don't know that I buy Kevin's mushy feelings for her all of a sudden, though I'm glad he's there for the mother of his child. Who knows! Toby has grown on me - I can appreciate his dad joke-like lines and I like that he called Miguel "Miggs" tonight. Still impressed by Mandy Moore's Older Rebecca - I swear I keep forgetting she's not that age in real life. Overall, I really missed this show, with its little in-jokes, musical snippets and weaving back and forth in time, and frequently, regularly, giving the feels. Hope they can get a nice full season out!
  13. Steven is disgusting. I mean his character even more than his physical junk. High and manipilative. How the hell does someone like that get a spouse and a place to live??
  14. Leneatha in the first few scenes had a heavy (pardon the pun) sadness to her - it was almost palpable. When she said later that sometimes she ate just because the food or the opportunity for the food was there and she wasn't necessarily hungry, I thought that was such an important point and one that Dr. Now didn't address (on screen) per se, but is exactly why he recommends people get therapy. She has had many disappointments and sad events in her life and we all know what happens when we bury stuff and don't (can't) deal with it. I am not now nor ever will be anywhere near 600 lbs, but I have had moments where I stuffed my face till my stomach hurt because it numbed my feelings. Food doesn't judge you. I gives you something to do when you don't want to think about other things going on in your life. When you are carrying (again, sorry for the unintentional pun) that sadness, it doesn't matter what anyone else says, you easily drown it out...people can talk all they want about, OMG, here's how many calories are in that McDonalds food she scarfed down, that's more than I eat in a day, blah blah. When she talked about her dad sharing cakes and sweets with her when she was younger, I mean, how does a little child express to her father that, hey dad, I love you even without the cakes and I'm eating them to make you happy to show you that I love you and by the way, I have no idea that I am programming my body into a damaging state. I too was surprised that there wouldn't be some resources at the hospital that she could draw on; surely that would be super-convenient since she was going there every day for work anyway, making it easier to say meet with a nutritionist or take part in a hospital study on-site on her lunch break. Having said all this, it is heartbreakingly true that only the person needing to lose the weight can make it happen - and when you think about how hard it can be for more average-sized folks to take off 10, 20, 30 lbs sometimes, imagine how much harder and much less linear the weight loss journey must be for people with hundreds of pounds to lose. Does anyone else get a kick out of hearing Dr. Now's sing-song, up-and-down voice? Puts me in kind of a trance. I thought Leneatha's little girl was absolutely precious, and her brother was an absolute sweetheart. I loved the scene where they cooked that nice healthy fish & broccoli dinner.
  15. I have a question. When we see Kevin's kids, they look like they can't be more than 10 years old. Yet both Kevin and Randall look way older than 50 in that scene. If Kevin becomes a dad at 40, then I think something is wrong with the math. Could he have had those kids with someone else and not Madison?
