The only reason I think that they kept Chris is that he is clearly the villain of this show. Kept for dramatic purposes. I much prefer my reality shows to have people focused on the competitions that are also decent human beings. I do not think he will go all the way but he will stick around past the halfway point, unfortunately. I have just seen this too many times on other competitive reality shows.

It was a hair below Season 1 for me, but just because there's no way the recovery stage of despair can be as visceral as the depths of it. But Ricky did a great job here, especially with really digging into the humanity of every character.
The Dad's passing was very well orchestrated in terms of helping to illustrate what it was supposed to.
Again, while it COULDN'T be as raw and effective as Season 1, no matter what, this was still well worth it.
That shrink by the way? A brilliantly written and executed piece of total absurdity.
Ooops, I am only on the third episode! Oh well. I watch it for the characters more than the plot. Did love his dad though, so going to miss him.
The interview with the very old lady (100?) was hilarious! I found that the second season had more moments that had me laugh out loud.
At this point, I haven't seen too much of the therapist. I always wonder why anyone would keep seeing him but perhaps he's the only one in town and everyone says you should go to a therapist when you are grieving/dealing with a broken marriage. Apparently Ricky thinks he is an amusing character, Read an interview where Ricky mused over how a therapist could be a narcissist, and I think he said the comic possibilities in that. I have been alternating watching this show with Little Fires Everywhere. This is a nice relief from the heaviness of that show. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the season (as slowly as possible!)
My trusty sheepdog would prefer that Ricky kills off Brandy though, and replaces her with a nice Lab, any colour. He hates German Shepherds, especially the black ones. Reminds him of traumatic experiences he's had with other black ones. Also females, coincidentally.

Richard Gere gave Debra Winger his officer’s cap. Pilot Pete doesn’t have his cap handy but still lacks the presence of mind to give the freezing Madison his suit jacket. Chivalry is dead – killed by narcissism (among other culprits).
Pilot Pete can be rightfully blamed for many silly or thoughtless decisions, but the frozen dates have nothing to do with him. Production won't let Peter or any bachelor lend his jacket - they say their differing body proportions will make it look silly on TV. They do keep pashimas nearby for the women to wear though, if they are too cold.

Between the Bachelor and The Stranger, there's been a lot of alpacas in my life this week.

She desperately needs a bucket of conditioner thrown onto her hair though, I have never seen so many split ends on this show. It distracted me from her constant "likes."

There are many arenas in which I would not excel, but I have a Master's in English and have taught the subject for 26 years. I would absolutely expect someone with a J.D. to exhibit mastery of the English language. I've spent my adult life correcting the language and writing of children, along with helping them to cut down on interjecting "like" in every sentence. I recoil every time these Bachelor characters use terrible grammar, and this season has been a bonanza for completely artificial words. As she is an attorney, I do judge Kelly for bastardizing the language.
I have previously mentioned "finasco," "unsecureness," "ling-er-ee," and other mangled words. It grates on me. So sorry that you find this offensive.
If it's not corrected now, who knows where it will lead.
This is the first episode I haven't fallen asleep, so that's an improvement. I keep thinking Victoria F. must be a plant, but they have effectively shredded her reputation with all the rumours about her, so I can't see it as a viable explanation. Then I think to myself, no matter what kind of drama Peter has grown up with, it could never be as infantile as Victoria in her constant high maintenance tantrums. No man in his right mind would keep her around, and think it's likely that he will have any fun in the Fantasy Suite. Peter is dopey but he can't possibly be that dumb...

I'm not familiar with Richard Armitage at all, but now I feel like I need to seek out North & South which I've never seen. He really is Brit hotness! And I totally bought Anthony Head (hey, it's that coffee commercial guy!) as his asshole Dad as well.
I doubt I would have been as conciliatory as he was with "Chris" even if she saved his life and was a half-sibling. She ruined so many lives (and caused a couple of deaths) on her shady quest for cash. Another plot-hole that confused me - didn't the Price's live in the old neighbourhood at the same time Killan was raising his "daughter" as a single Dad? Wouldn't they have recognized her?
For me, the most irksome plot hole was the very end of the show. I don't understand why the Detective didn't just leave the gun at the scene and make up some sort of self-defense story for Price (a struggle for the gun). It made no sense to plant the gun in the loft and try to blame Katz. How would that even work?
But otherwise I was amazed at how engrossed I got in the story! I'm finding harder and harder to find entertaining stuff on Netflix, so this was a pleasant surprise.
This! I agree with everything you've said. It amazed me that a good policewoman wouldn't hesitate to cover everything up, without hesitating for a moment it seemed. Heidi's death seemed to trigger a gigantic personality or lifestyle change. (Messing with evidence, getting back together with her husband - who admittedly I thought was a hot nerd, a bit like Chidi n The Good Place. 🙂 )
You forgot to mention Anthony Stewart Head's biggest role - Giles on Buffy!! I think that's the only time he's played a likable, sympathetic character. I've seen him as slimy fellows before, thought he did a excellent job here and in some other BBC shows I've seen. And of course he was highly annoying as that coffee guy - loved to hate him in those commercials.
Harlan Coben definitely seems to have a specific niche with his thrillers (crime dramas?) If you liked this, I recommend Safe with Michael C. Hall. Also has some plot holes but is entertaining and Hall does a fantastic job with his British accent, I though

I was so happy to see her gone. I mean I read the spoilers that she was the first boot but I always take that as speculation until it actually happens. I have not been a fan or her or her sister since their time on TAR.
Yeah, she came across well on Survivor once her sister was booted, but I haven't forgotten that "Twinnies!" screech over two seasons and their incredibly sucky and entitled attitude. It may be hidden on Survivor because Natalie is alone, but I am positive her real self is still as obnoxious. Of all this season's cast, she was the one that I wanted to go first, so I am happy.

Yesterday I was Boston Rob's biggest fan. Later in the day I watched Rob Cesterino interview him & Amber on the red carpet. It was a YouTube E clip. So a few minutes in, Ethan comes up to Rob C, who's a great fan of the show, and Boston R starts making fun of Ethan's tweed jacket, saying [paraphrased], "Oh, look at him in his vintage jacket, straight from the 90s American Eagle..." Ethan turned around to talk to someone else.
Now, there's Boston Rob in a pink untucked 2XL shirt hanging down over his pants zipper, so let's say size 2XL Tall. Come on Rob, you're better than that, I had no idea you were so insecure.
I don't know that it was insecurity, as much as playing his on-air persona of villain. I think you could expect that kind of talk from a lot of guys, and most of them would snap right back with a retaliatory insult. Unless they are kind of quiet or just plain nice, as Ethan clearly is, at this point too, we don't know how far the two of them go. If they were to both make it to final Tribal Council, I would expect that kind of a tease, especially if Rob expected to lose to him in that last vote.
Overall, I find Boston Rob to be highly entertaining, and I would love to see him replace Jeff Probst when that day finally comes, but he has an edgy side to him. Watching him in any of his reality show appearances, I generally like him but he does and says somethings that I find questionable. I think in real life I would like him, but not totally trust him not to shred me to pieces in private. Or on TV!

You're right and I screwed that up again...
1 - The oldest one who is working on her judgmental glare
2 - Completely unremarkable girl and/or girl being held in reserve for future plots
3 - The spawn of Satan who is scared of games in graveyards because...reasons.
4 - The "will she live or will she die" kid
There is clearly at least 1 too many kids in this show.
These lists are very helpful. I apologise for getting it completely wrong. It made sense to me that the oldest one would opt out the trip to the graveyard, not the Satan Spawn (alleged). Unlike many people here, the four girls don't annoy me at all, but it would be handy to use costuming to help the viewer more clearly define which one is which. Perhaps colour related.

Sandra in Pearl Islands was the scrappy and funny underdog who could barely swim but fought her way to the end. In Heroes vs. Villains she was still sort of like that. She won again.
Since then she's sort of become Reality TV Royalty. Unlike many old Survivor winners she remains very active in the reality tv appearances circuit and many Survivor players now idolize Sandra. That attitude really seeped through last night.
I really liked Sandra in her first two seasons but I thought she was pretty useless as a mentor, basically repeating what Rob originally said and just talking to hear herself speak. Already, I have had enough. Colossal ego. She could go next, I'd be very happy about that.

You would think her getting idol'ed out of the game would have been a wake up call to TPTB that this idol shit was getting out of hand but noooooooooo, of course Probst thought the drama was great. Ugh! Still so bitter about that.
Well, different viewpoints from mine. I remembered Cirie as a lazy whining lump that added nothing to her seasons, I would have been completely disappointed if she had won. Didn't like Vi either, more sitting on her ass and trying to run things from her throne of negativity. At least Sandra was amusing originally with her comments. I don't need to see athletic feats out there but at least try to pull your weight a bit in camp and in challenges.
On 2/15/2020 at 2:14 AM, BK1978 said:Well I will happily join you in that minority. What annoyed me with Sandra the most during her first season was when she thought she was the next to go she began sabotaging the camp.
I didn't mind her back then but maybe I was more easily amused. Now I don't find her entertaining at all, will be happy to see her go.

I don't remember much about it, other than the two of them always worked well as a team, never any squabbling like you commonly see in romantic couples. Amber has a solid social game and the two of them formed strong alliances with other couples (which they ditched when the time was right). I also remember her as being supremely organized with lists and keeping Rob on an even keel.

That nasty little troll earned his loss being a nasty arrogant obnoxious troll and having a really bad social game and it's a shame there are people in a fanbase that think you can be a nasty little troll and still win " cause they did everything and Jury is just bitter" When jury Mangement is a big part of the game and you gotta stab them without an unlikable nasty human being
That's so unfair, I recall Natalie playing a superb game. It wasn't just her superior social skills, she also excelled in the competitions. She deserved her win!

Richard Armitage covers a multitude of sins. I'd probably be a lot more down on the show if someone else was in the lead role. As it is, it's the equivalent of an airplane read for me. Despite its problems, I enjoyed it well enough while I was watching but will likely forget about it in a few weeks.
Yeah, the plot holes were quite large and annoying, but Richard Armitage is gorgeous. I'd watch anything with him in it. Oh and he's a good actor too. Totally sold the character to me. And gorgeous, did I mention that?

Why are Kristen’s daughters so stupid? I understand they’re young but they’re written to all be the same level of stupid when their ages span many years apart and you would think if the younger ones are followers, at least the oldest, who is a teenager, should have some sense? Like to not allow anyone to force her little sister into a grave, perhaps. Or a hole in the basement wall. Or the other sister who heard a creepy man’s voice tell her to open the door in the middle of the night and she actually does it? The children are written to be annoying and infuriatingly stupid. I’m ok with Leland taking them into his side at this point.
The oldest daughter didn't go with them to the graveyard, it was obvious that she found the demon girl to be a bit weird but still, just a child and completely forgettable to a cool teenager like herself. I would have expected her to discourage her little sister from going in the hole but she probably thought there would be nothing there, that the girls were just playing scary games to add some excitement to their Halloween.
Well, the implication is that this daughter is the one that was conceived with evil sperm. Or something like that. And she had no memory of what she did - or is innately evil enough to hide it. Otherwise I'd agree with you, opening the door to Satan Goat would make no sense.
I still find Leland and especially Kristen's mother to be far more annoying and I will not mind when they have completed their business and left the show. Although, I do enjoy Kristen's putdowns of Leland. I do think she could do with a better villain to take on. George is pretty good at it. Satan Goat is kind of silly.

Well, it wouldn't be a Moffat- Gatis- colaboration if the whole thing didn't fall off a cliff towards the end. And this time they managed it in record time!
I really liked episode one and two, but once it got to modern times, yikes. First I was bored with the focus on all these new vapid characters, then really annoyed by how stupid all of it played out and then the ending was just pseudo-deep and really dumb.
And I think the idea to bring it to modern times in the later half of a season/show had a lot of potential. But this was certainly not the way to do it.
The german was also pretty good, I have to give them that. Not flawless, but pretty good.
Loved the first episode, mostly because of Sister Agatha and Jonathan Harkness. Great dialogue, very funny with moments of pathos (provided by JH). Second episode was also good, though not as good as the first. And then.....the third episode. Disappointing. I didn't realize that ended it, expected a fourth and fifth episode. Don't think they should have bothered. Would love to see Dolly in something better though, she was amazing.

This episode, I noticed Rockne S. O'Bannon was an executive producer. He worked on many of the 1980's Twilight Zone episodes.
Ahhhh I didn't know that. I really enjoyed those, and actually preferred some of the remade episodes to the original (i.e. Time Enough at Last) - the last person living on earth.
I know of Rockne as the creator of Farscape. I was a big obsessed fan, back in the day.

I think that scruff they make Peter wear in an attempt to toughen him up is actually having the opposite effect. He looks like a teenager with his first fuzzy whiskers. He has no chemistry with anyone, yet once again, he was standing between some unlucky woman's legs while kissing her. Last week, rather than have her legs part naturally during a make out session he took his hand and pried her legs apart. Who does that? Add that to the four times thing and I'm calling "weird in bed." Maybe we'll get more info at the Fantasy Suite show.
Agreed that he looks much better without it. Perhaps this is some style trend currently going on that you and I are currently unaware of....
I do think Peter has a submissive type personality, but what's wrong with that? The happiest couples I know clearly have the wife in charge. His mom is definitely the dominant one in his family relationship and the dad is so happy about it, he renewed his vows! Although whenever celebrities do that, a divorce is just around the corner. I don't know any regular people that have done it.
Anyway, Peter definitely seems to prefer the women with stronger personalities. Maybe that why "you're a strong woman" is his go-to compliment.
On 1/14/2020 at 12:34 PM, RealHousewife said:So many of these women are walking examples why men oftentimes tire of even the most pretty women quickly.
It’s not that unattractive women can’t also be bitchy, dramatic, and immature. But you ever see that strikingly beautiful girl who’s constantly dumped and everyone’s perplexed why she can’t keep a man? She’s probably similar to these broads.
Hannah Ann does scream fake. Kelsey sees right through it, but she’s got a different set of issues. She could stand to chill. Victoria cries if she’s not the #1 center of attention. The rumors about her make more sense now.
People snark a lot about Janice, but she was crazy beautiful in her modeling days.
Yeah, "crazy beautiful" just about describes it. I used to watch her modelling show, the one that she picked male and female aspiring models to be mentored by her and work at her agency. What I remember most about it was how mean she was and tried to portray it as giving good honest advice. She makes Tyra Banks seem down-to-earth.
Victoria F just makes me think of the character Ella from Lucifer. Almost uncanny how similar they seem.
I have a feeling that red-headed Lexi (red convertible) might be a dark horse in this season and go far. I actually liked Hannah Banana in the first episode, now I see her as an entitled little princess, coming on the show to extend her brand. I love Tammy, think she's the most interesting woman on the show but don't think she is there to have much to do with Peter. Could see this as her audition for a HGTV show about flipping. (Houses, not guys!)

I love this show so much. The nurse was terrifying in her cheerful menace. This really reminded me of the X Files episode One Breath where Scully has an imaginary nurse/angel. I actually thought both the nurse AND the priest were part of his dreams, but I think the point of this episode and the show, much like the X files again is to always give you evidence of the supernatural and then offer a "rational" explanation for why it isn't, but to leave it ambiguous as to which it really is.
For most of the episode we are in David's drug and pain addled perspective, so I'm willing to leave that aside, as to how much of what we saw was really happening v. delusion, but I think essentially we are meant to believe y'know like Leeland, this nurse was aided by supernatural evil forces. So yes other nurses and doctors should have noticed but for SOME REASON they didn't. Now why they let that bitch leave the room to begin with when Kristen knew SHE specifically was the issue is harder to justify.
And as for the blood on the floor I work in hospital and I can tell you, you'd be surprised how long it can take to clean up.I really enjoyed it. I get your X Files references, they definitely apply. I was thinking of Buffy's hospital episode, with the Kinder monster. I don't have a problem with any inconsistencies here, unlike many.
I can only take so much of Michael Emerson myself, I am hoping that we get some better evil demons a la Supernatural. They've had some terrific demons/bad angels on that show. If we're going to get Lost veterans, I'd suggest Mark Pellegrino. Can be evil and amusing at the same time and still pretty damn hot. I stopped watching Lost during the second season, maybe that's why Emerson does nothing for me. He comes along as creepy and unattractive, and I just can't see him as being seductive in any kind of way.

I think it could also be because it's a hard watch. Nobody's likable, and every scene with Mitch makes me feel like I need a chemical shower afterward.
There have only been a handful of scenes of this team actually being a team. Jennifer and Reese are killing it, but it's just nonstop with everyone stabbing one another in the back. I'm surprised they're able to get any shows done. There's no one to root for.
Yanko. He's the only one to root for, although I feel a bit of sympathy for Chip and am totally fascinated by Cory.
Nestor is an amazing actor. Initially I wasn't a fan, due to watching Ringers, but then I saw him in Bates Motel and the chemistry between him and Vera was off the wall. Just goes to show how bad writing will beat out the most talented actors every time.

I thought this episode was pretty okay, as someone pointed out, the "wary alliance with unscrupulous characters" is a Western film trope as old as the genre, and here it was fairly well done. My quibbles are with the Twi'leks, whose head tails or whatever they're actually called looked cheap as fuck, from a production value standpoint. It also felt a little smaller than they tried to play it on screen, the set. Generally you'd build a single hallway and then film characters walking down it from different angles, and I definitely felt like that's what they'd done here.
Or....you build a very small hallway and have the actors RUN down them from different angles (Farscape!) Star Ben Browder used to joke about how often they ran down a tiny stretch of set. It;s what I think of now whenever I watch any show with lots of hallway action (from Star Trek to West Wing).

I became stuck on the second or third episode of the second season, but figured I would go back to it and hopefully, the third season would greatly improve with a new showrunner. Now we've lost Sweeny, Mr. Nancy, the Jin and Salim. Besides Mr. Wednesday and Moon, they were the reasons I kept watching, I might as well go back to my beloved first season and watch it over and over. Jin and Salim's love scene is the best sex I have ever watched, in films or TV. How can they take away everything that made this one of the best shows I've ever seen? They've destroyed it. Fuller and Green had created an amazing world that complimented Gaiman's world vision without slavishly following the text. No wonder Gillian and Kristen left with them. This is beginning to look like the de-evolution of TWD after Daramont left.

I very much enjoyed this one, well, have liked them all! Reminded me of Farscape and Firefly, Xi'an especially reminded me of Chiana from Farscape albeit much more annoying. I was also reminded of Aliens (when he turned the lights out on the ship). Missed a bigger dose of Baby Yoda but I can live with it, when we get good fight scenes (hellboy and Mando) and two scenes occurring simultaneously.
Too bad we've almost finished the first season. Guess I'll just have to rewatch everything.

Katja Herbers and Mike Colter are pretty active on Twitter and they interact with everyone that talks to them about the show. I think they are super happy to know the show has fans 🙂
This was a weird episode. I know David is not going to die, so there's not much suspense there.
I don't think sexytimes Grandma is possessed, I think she's always had an evil streak that Leland just helped come to the surface, so to speak.
I agree, Grandma has always been selfish and irresponsible, Leland just pushes her to the next level. Even if she didn't admit the truth to Lexie, it would have been damaging. Nothing like gaslighting your own granddaughter! I suspect that Kristen has seen this for herself, presumably being raised by her. I assumed she just couldn't afford hiring a babysitter but with Andy around, I just don't know why she doesn't stop calling her. Unless Andy is busy job hunting - at what, I don't know. So far I have been surprised at how likeable he is, and with a strong streak of common sense. I was expecting to really dislike him.
I love this cast, how wonderful that they want to interact with their fans! Don't see that often enough, in my opinion. Although you are always more likely to see it with science fiction/fantasy shows, I believe. My favourite genre.
5 hours ago, HazelEyes4325 said:While I totally get why this show is on at 10 pm and agree that is an appropriate time for it, it sucks that I can't seem to stay up late enough to watch it live. Starting about the halfway mark of Young Sheldon, the hubs begins his litany of "Can we watch Evil now?" Sadly, we have to watch it the next day because we are apparently old.
Anyhow, I thought this was a fun episode. A couple of quick questions/comments:
1 - What happened to the cat?
2 - Why doesn't Katja/Kristen where dark green more often? It really is her color.
3 - Between this episode and last season of The Good Fight, it seems like the Kings are really into animation with kitschy music.
I don't know if trashy Grandma is possessed or not, but I think that's part of the appeal with this show. We never really quite now. Is Leland a very persuasive narcissist or is he Satan? Who can tell? I think, depending where you are in view of religion and such, this show is completely different from viewer to viewer.
Oh, one more thing, this was the first episode where the David/Kristen possible romantic dynamic wasn't pushed and I think the show was better for it. And Kristen seems happy with her husband and he's a good counterpart for her. Can the show just let that be? Let David has his Angelica Schuyler obsession if he wants, but let him and Kristen just be friends and colleagues.
Trashy grandma is probably a better choice than my own nickname - Evil Granny.
I don't mind a little extra chemistry between David and Kristen but I am surprised at how much I like her with Andy, and I think David would have to settle his priestly inclinations first. Plus, we haven't seen how he will interact with her daughters. Be difficult to make headway against Ben the Magnificent!

I couldn't recall where I'd read this, so I Googled and apparently American Gods will be back. No date yet, probably spring 2020. Yay, More Dead Wife and Mad Sweeney! Yes, he's dead but apparently it's not serious because he's listed on IMBD as being on the show in 2020.
You're right! I live in Canada and found out they've been shooting scenes in Port Perry, not too far from where I live. I had forgotten that most of the shooting in the first season took place in Toronto. I definitely need to go back to season two and finish it, without comparing it to Season One (which I loved). Hopefully, they are past all the drama of changing directors and show runners.

Gervais is actually on a quiz show called Child Support (https://abc.go.com/shows/child-support) where he wrangles five of so lower grade-school kids for their answers to Jeopardy-level questions, while Fred Savage hosts an adult faced with the same questions. Gervais is funny and comfortable with the kids—although I don't see him in a teacher role, I could see him being a headmaster and dealing with kids, parents, and school staff. Heck, I think he’s thoughtfully funny no matter what.
That sounds like a great show~ I think Fred Savage is enormously talented. He was one of my favourite SNL guest hosts. He did an amazing Church Lady beside Dana Carvey - I think it was Church Lady and her mini clone. It would be interesting to watch them together.

She wasn't given great material to work with, but she made the most of it. With a bazillion characters on the show now, very few characters are given much screen time.
I disagree. I thought she did well as a secondary character but when they made her the lead on her solo trip to Oceanside, I was shocked at how bad an actress she was. It looked like she barely bothered to learn her lines, she was almost reading them tonelessly off a teleprompter. I've been waiting for her to get killed off ever since, but thought it was extremely unlikely because she's good friends with the head of casting. So Allelulah! Not an Alpha fan at all, but she did get rid of Henry and Tara in one fell swoop (well, I guess it took more to cut off their heads) so I am pretty grateful.

S06.E12: Forever
in Younger [V]
So I've loved this show and binge watched until I caught up, on Amazon Prime. All of those scenes were present and accounted for...but it's April 2021. Maybe they had to get it worked out legally.
I'm happy that the new season comes out next week, I believe four episodes dropping at once. Had never heard of the show before accidentally tripping over it while searching for "You," Only started watching a few weeks ago, so good timing. I would have hated having to wait 18 months for the final season.
I agree with many of the complaints here, but I do regard it as similar to "Jane the Virgin." Not quite as fantastical, but with elements of a telenova. Even an identical twin! (Chad & Thad). I have been wondering why HD hasn't looked very good, with hideous outfits and that orange makeup. Not sure if it coincided with her pregnancy. Maybe they just had a hard time adjusting to her changing looks? I too would prefer to see her in a classic wardrobe, with a few whimsical youthful touches.
I was rooting for Charles too but he does seem a little more stodgy now that they are together. Neither man seems perfect for Liza, but I think together they make a great guy. (Just like in the microdosing episode!) The ideal for me would be a polyamorous relationship. Nothing I do in my private life but it always comes to mind when I see two love relationships with potential. Since one person can never meet all your needs....anyway, it would be interesting to see it on TV. A nice antidote to those plural marriages that only benefit the man (and leave all involved, miserable.)
