  1. I loved that - it was so cool and sleek looking. And yay for no Tatooine! My favorite scene was the ISB round table. My Star Wars knowledge comes from the movies, these shows and a few seasons of Clone Wars, so I like seeing another side of the Empire. Anton Lesser is awesome as an Empire baddy. I loved the mention of building materials being sent to Scarif. Foreshadow! Speaking of, Luthen's comment about Cassian being willing to die for his cause was sad knowing how this ends......
  2. Mitch can get on his surfboard, start paddling and don't stop. What a turd. Krysten is a boss and he doesn't deserve her. Fuck him about the makeup. If any man told me how much makeup to wear, it would be over. You worry about your face, and I'll deal with mine. If you don't want to look at it made up, avert your eyes or leave.
  3. I think it's weird to see that many people showing up to visit someone in a hospital - in a post-Covid world, there is no hospital in the US that would allow that.
  4. That makes it even worse! So basically, your bosses are sexualizing your work partnership in front of your estranged spouse? That is disgusting. I think you are right. Or maybe just first pick with who the show was able to book? Or do they lure certain "stars" by dangling certain partners? I would love to have that curtain peeled back! For instance, did Sam request Cheryl because they are already friends?
  5. I'm pretty sure that's why they made Derek a permanent judge - a buffer between Len & Bruno! And I do think Derek got preferential picks of partners when he was competing. I will walk back my "Mark always gets ringers" comment a little. I do still think he gets paired with people that while they might not be "the ringer", he does mostly get paired with people that have the potential to win. Derek did too. Mostly.
  6. Wow, that show was looooong! There are too many people! My favorites were Wayne, Trevor, Sam, Shangela, and Gabby but I will never root for a Bachelorette. Never. I did laugh at her "say it louder for the people in the back". I can't tell if she's cocky or weird, or both. I also kind of liked Vinny and Joseph. Vinny looked like a different person, and Joseph had a nice natural grace that was unexpected in week 2 from someone as big as he was. Props for getting through it after the 12th hour partner switch. Brandon needs to step it up - Jordin is better than that score. He's not capitalizing on getting a great partner. I thought that dress/hair made her look old. Both Mama D'Amelio and Baby D'Amelio can leave. Mom has zero personality, and Charlie pissed me off making faces and hand gestures standing behind them when Alfonso was interviewing her mom. Yes she's great, but she should be. Start judging her for the professional that she is. I know I'm going to get hate for saying this, but this is why I don't like Mark. He always, always always gets the best dancers. Just once I would love to see him get someone older, or a Selma or Daniel. Speaking of, Selma and Daniel are blowing my mind. Shasha and Britt are doing a great job. I love the care they both give their partners. Fuck Alfonso for joking about Trevor and Emma while her husband is also on this show! I know they are separated, but that was so uncomfortable and tacky!
  7. Ha ha ha! Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that! My husband and I laughed when he made the crack about going high/low ;-p I love the idea of the scramble - no-one knows where they are until they hit the mat, but man, that was a lot of teams to keep track of, and I at the beginning when I don't know all of them, it's really confusing - scramble indeed! I also liked starting in a foreign country and self driving right off the bat! Good start!!!!
  8. What does "emotional apology" even mean? Say it like you mean it??? The man has said sorry 10 different ways already! Piss or get off the pot woman. And also, maybe realize, the more you demand an "emotional apology", the less likely you will receive one...... These two can get off my tv any time now.
  9. I just don't see this guy joining the rebellion - he is the ultimate rule follower. He is Dolores Umbridge. I don't know where he ultimately fits in the Empire, but it's definitely on the Empire side. Not reflective indeed! His superior told him to leave it alone, but you could see the simmering resentment there before he even left. He already had his mind made up and the disrespect was barely checked. I feel like it's going to be a minute before he has his comeuppance though, and I hope they just let him be the evil asshole he already is - I don't need a redemption plot for him like Reva.
  10. My mind immediately went to Blade Runner, but Expanse is also true! @tessaray, if you like sci-fi, you should check out Expanse! There were things I liked about Obi Wan (baby Leia, the final fight) but it just wasn't necessary, and some things didn't even make sense (how Obi got away after their first fight. What?!). I do love Ewan though, so I am really torn on that one. This show definitely feels a lot different than all of the other D+ Star Wars shows. Maybe because we know what happens to Cassian? Or maybe because it's written by Tony Gilroy and not from the Favreau/Filoni team? Either way, I like it!
  11. I loved the back and forth between young Cassian and current Cassian leaving on a ship, but current Cassian is leaving with eyes wide open and young Cassian was basically kidnapped. His face looked like he was thinking about just this when he was standing in the street. I would love to see him get his comeuppance - what a little shit! Also because it can't be said enough: fuck Timm. Bix was too good for him, and he knew it, but what an asshole.
  12. If you don't like them, why do you keep watching? I am loving all of these shows. Are they perfect? No. But I love this universe and these characters and I enjoy exploring them in more depth. I have loved Grogu and Mando, I loved baby Leia, and B2EMO is an awesome addition. I am only hoping my #1 favorite droid makes an appearance in this show - K2 where are you????? As far as this show, Cassian Andor is a great character from arguably the best star wars movie, so I am excited to see where they go with this. Plus, Diego Luna is pretty to look at ;-p I am a grown woman and I don't buy toys, but Disney already got my money for my baby yoda hat, t-shirt and bag and I am totally fine with it.
  13. Yes yes yes for all of these reasons! Just regular non-fame seeking people in a adorable tent making amazing food (barring a disaster). I love it because it's the antithesis of every slick, over dramatic American reality show. I can feel my blood pressure going down while I watch this :-)
  14. You are my kind of people! I have a great Red Velvet Cake Recipe that's so old I don't remember where it came from, and I use Paula Deen's cream cheese frosting recipe for it. I also use it on my favorite carrot cake. It makes so much frosting I always have left over and it does NOT go to waste, that is for sure! I like it on graham crackers ;-p I think just for taste, I think pink haired lady's signature with the bees was cutest. Most everyone made their signature bakes too big. Most were a full serving, not something to pick up and eat in a few bites!
  15. I second this. Sweet Jesus this was BORING! I don't want to know about these people's sex lives. AT ALL. I don't want to rehash the same shit for the 10th time - Dr. Pia is just an excuse to repackage the same arguments of each couple AGAIN. I FF through pretty much everything except Migindy. The rest, blech. How many episodes until D Day?
  16. If you can't learn in 3,000 years that it's not a good idea to immediately start insulting your host when captured and outnumbered, you probably shouldn't be the leader. It's not a good look. Again, she should be waaayyy past making these kind of missteps at this age.
  17. @Skooma, here's my list: 1. Harry 2. Asta - for better or worse, she's been his sidekick from the beginning, and I do like them together when she's not moping or doing stupid stuff with D'arcy. 3 Kids, but more like they were season 1. Since then Sahar has become obnoxious and rude to Max, and Max has become too dumb sometimes. Let Max be smarter and Sahar a little less like a mini adult, and I like their frenemy vibe with Harry. 4. Mayor and Sheriff and Liv. But I think it's time for them to know about Harry. 5. D'arcy and Judy Cooter Pooper Cooper. A little goes a long way. Neither need their own plots. 6. Snarky Nurse and Asta's Dad. Just to round out the town a little, and be people harry interacts with at work and his favorite place to eat. 7. Alien guy that Linda Hamilton shot then recruited and Terry O'Quinn. 8. Everyone else - special guests barely seen or eliminated, including Mayor's wife. I loathe her and the mayor is much more palatable when he's interacting with literally anybody except her. And as much as I like Linda Hamilton, her character is way too over the top crazy. I couldn't care less about Jay. I would love to see more aliens and less alien trackers, or maybe a love interest for Harry - I loved when Alex Borstein was on, even though Harry was just using her. It would be hilarious to see him navigating romance for real, much like his friendship with Asta.
  18. This!!!! Good lord, I really hope the writers/producers see comments like this somewhere - nobody wants all of these side plots, and nobody, and I mean nobody, cares about the mayor and his wife! Also, why is Rita from Reservation Dogs suddenly part of the inner circle of ladies? Was she there the entire time and I am just now noticing because I started watching Reservation Dogs, or did they just add her and pretend she was always there in their friend group? Also, do I even care? There are already too many people and side plots on this stupid show......
  19. This elf is over a thousand years old though - old enough to have learned some diplomacy and not be a blundering hot head! She is old even in elf terms which makes her behavior that much more annoying. I started out finding her ok but each episode makes me like her less. At this point, I don't know if it's the actress or the writing, but either way, it's disappointing that they've turned one of the coolest characters into a petulant, scowling, snarling brat. She's acting like she really is the age she looks.
  20. Maybe I'm the only one glad this is on D+ - I don't have to deal with commercials! I do think it's a weird fit though - most of this show's audience I would imagine is older, not a group that uses streaming at all let alone D+....... I didn't watch last season because of Tyra, but I like having Alfonso. It sort of balances her out. She didn't bug me as bad (for now anyway). I think the fact that this is on a kid leaning platform, the ringer is a TikTok star AND her partner is Mark, the fix is in. But I liked Wayne, Shangela and Jordin better. Selma was so emotional to watch - I loved it, but wonder how she will cope with something like a jive or quick step? I also enjoyed Daniel - it's amazing to see someone deaf dancing. Joseph danced like a bull in a china shop, but he really went for it, and for that I like him - I would rather see someone giving it their all than just tentatively moving. Cheryl Ladd looks amazing.
  21. I had to quit following her - it was just TMI about her and Doug and photos of her in bikinis talking about body positivity. I guess I just wasn't a big enough "fran"........
  22. I think Dr. P got it right when she called him self righteous.
  23. Call me crazy, but I actually enjoyed this episode, which is unusual since by this point I'm checking out. I thought Miguel and Lindy were sweet with their "I love you" and "I said it first". I thought Nate and Stacia were sweet talking to Nate's dad, and Mitch's letter to himself was sad. When he said "my anger was just to hide the hurt" I totally felt like I understood him more. I liked Krysten acknowledging that she was still holding onto the anger from the honeymoon, but she was over it now. Morgan could use her as an example on working through anger. Nate is making me a believer. I thought he was a total dog after that bachelor party, but he has some depth, and I like how calm he is even when he is upset at Stacia. He wins this episode for calling out Morgan in front of the group. Ok Bihn lied, but why is she so rage filled? Notice how she immediately calmed down when Nate stood up to her and called her out, but when it's just her and Bihn, she totally bullies him. Regarding Miguel getting bullied, I think he said he wasn't Puerto Rican enough in NY, and he was too American when he went to PR, so he didn't feel like he fit in anywhere. I live in CA and I know Hispanic people that don't speak Spanish and are pretty Americanized and they most certainly get called out for it, so I could see that happening. I am just FF through Justin and Alexis. They are a waste of time.
  24. I am not arguing for or against the resort, but I do think the mayor is doing his job looking for opportunities to bring revenue into the town, for good or bad, and he isn't effectively taking advantage of the arguments to be made for it. His wife is just horrible. She doesn't support him - not only in this, but in pretty much everything and is basically a bully. He is doing his job, but she expects him to just fold because she told him to. Why doesn't she run for mayor if she wants to make the decisions?
  25. I kept wondering what kind of competition this was - I think for someone who competed at Olympic level skiing you would know what you can and cannot take. I am already tired of the D'arcy addicted to pain meds plot. I also thought the skiing looked very sloppy and not great. I was shocked she ended up on the top of the leader board. It was definitely not elite mogul skiing. My least favorite character is the Mayor's wife whose name I cannot be bothered to learn, and this episode just makes me hate her more. Flip flopping on the resort because some home town girls were nice to her was pretty crappy. I also do not know why the mayor doesn't highlight the jobs and tourists that will be brought to the town that could also help the existing businesses? She looks mean and he looks dumb. Ugh. "Smoke more" was awesome.
