    It was actually Marty who annoyed me more in that episode because I felt like Logan and Rory were both bending over backwards to accommodate his feelings, and he choose to put on a bit of a martyr act instead.

    Same here, I never understood how Logan was the bad guy in that situation. And then of course later on Marty proved himself to be quite the asshole.

    The writing and editing left too many holes and unanswered questions. I don't understand it, they have been talking about a possible revival for years, no reason for it to be so sloppy with storylines and character development.

    You'd think! But she was damn determined to finish up the original storyline even though Rory was a decade past any kind of shocker pregnancy.

  3. Jess was never going to come back from that first encounter, when he sassed her instead of thanking her for her insight and advice. Just like Logan was never really going to come back from helping Rory steal a yacht, even though it was her idea.

    I cried laughing throughout the entire musical, I have no idea why.

  4. NOOOOoooooo!  How am I going to get through the Orange Menace unpresidency without y'all? Is anybody starting an independent forum, I mean it's just the one thread it wouldn't have to be a big deal? Just hosted somewhere else? Invision still has a free option, right? Well damn.

    I can't say I completely agree with that.  Actors are not their roles. 

    I mostly agree, I just think that in this case there's no real way to separate a character losing weight from her actor losing weight. It's not like Chrissy can lose weight more slowly than Kate, or Chrissy can decide not to lose any more weight while Kate decides to lose lots more. So if Chrissy had surgery and she's losing lots of weight but claiming that, unlike Kate, she's merely dieting and exercising - she's putting out false information about how easy (or hard) it is to lose weight. So I hope she won't do that. But, I agree that it's her business.

    Before the forum is shut down, I just wanted to thank you all.

    Also, re my most recent post, I appreciate the reasons why people are fed up and I apologize if I came off pie in the sky or preachy--especially to those who are targeted by the bigotry and still tried, that's heroic and I didn't mean to come across as chiding you for being done. I wish we had more time to talk about this and many other things!

    Love to you all.

    I have really enjoyed all of you! I hope to see you around other forums. You all really saved my sanity. Thank you. 

    What did I miss, is this being shut down?

  7. You make a good point, but I do think that while we aren't entitled to know about her private life, if it's suggested that she lost weight due to diet and exercise and in reality she had surgery, that kind of verges on reality TV. Because the character can't lose weight unless Chrissy loses weight, and if the character "succeeds" using "just discipline" while Chrissy actually needed the surgery, that's a little bit of a bad message to be delivering to people. "Well I guess you failed because you didn't have Chrissy's self-discipline." If you see what I mean?

    From the NYT interview this morning. "They got beaten very badly in the election. I won more counties in the election than Ronald Reagan. They are very embarrassed about it."

    I'm only embarrassed in the sense that I didn't know I was living in this kind of a country. It's been humiliating to have to realize that we're this backwards.

    I wouldn't describe him as stupid (meaning unintelligent), but I think he is *an idiot* because he has absolutely no foresight or insight.

    I don't know what he used to be like, but right now he seems to be speeding through the early stages of dementia.

    The thing is, nothing he has done has caused him any harm.  Has it?

    But he's not in office yet.

    I kind of feel like at first glance (though I really need to watch it a second time), we are supposed to think Rory is wildly successful at first. And the realization that she's not is supposed to dawn on us like it dawns on the characters. 

    Ohhh that's brilliant and probably what was supposed to happen. Too bad the promos kind of blew it!

    But what if the writers decided to make Kate lose weight w/o surgery while Chrissy chose surgery (given the added pressure of her character NEEDING to lose weight for the script), but they all decided to avoid any outcry of 'cheating' and keep the surgery under wraps?  

    Ohhhh that makes sense!

  12. After reading the article above, I hope she did have the surgery, although I can't imagine why she'd lie about it. But yeah, at her weight her knees take a beating just on a regular basis, even without being injured, so I could see how that would put her in a wheelchair. That was my own main motivation to lose the quit-smoking weight, I had a bad knee made far worse by the extra weight.

    1) If it's from the WaPo or NYT, the rubes won't believe it

    2) They DON'T CARE!  Trump has insulted POWs and admitted to sexual assault and like any victim of domestic violence, they excuse his behavior and beg for more.

    They're not wrong.  See above.

    This really can not be emphasized enough. They don't care. There is no point in trying to change the minds of his supporters, that road is a dead end. Use your time and energy for calling and writing your reps, they still technically work for us.

    mexico: ha!! those poor idiots really thought it would be us building the wall! 

    Congress: ugh. what?!!! 

    non trump Voters: yeah, we figured....

    trump voters: LOL whatever! we won!! 

    Yep, I took a look at the replies to someone talking about this on Twitter and it was all, "Hillary lost, feel the butthurt" and "that's fake news, you cuck!" The people who replied really only care that he won, which means they won. When the mushroom clouds appear, they'll still be cackling about how us special triggered butthurt cuck snowflakes need a safe place.

    But he told them what they wanted to hear, at the same time he made them think he wasn't a typical politician who was telling them what they wanted to hear!

    How'd he do that?

    He was never elected to anything - like most of them - so he could say he wasn't a "typical politician," which I guess was true. And he claimed he funded his own campaign so he didn't owe anyone anything, which was a lie, but I guess people believed it because he's supposedly rich.

    This kind of thing is why I think he's genuinely crazy and not just manipulating the public with some kind of evil but well-thought out strategy in mind.

    Yes, I think he's genuinely nuts - it's not nine dimensional chess or what the hell ever. He manipulated the public by telling them what they wanted to hear - it didn't take any kind of genius to devise that strategy, three year olds have figured that one out.
