I bet it’s Pileman who ordered the hit and will try to pin it on Sonny. Or do we know for sure it’s on Sonny’s orders.
5 minutes ago, sas616 said:The SHOW wants us to think Sonny ordered the hit, based on the last thing he said to Carly. But my guess is Valentine is setting the Pikeman plan in motion and ordered the hit, with the expectation that Sonny will get the blame.
I hadn't considered that. Good thinking. I was kind of thinking we had seen one of those gunman before but maybe not working for Sonny

Sonny has gone totally around the bend ordering a hit on Jason
Laura already knew she was treading choppy waters in regards to Heather. I believe her deputy mayor already pointed the issues out to her. I can understand why she's doing it, but given Heather's crimes, she needed to be much more careful than she has been

That was weird but enjoyable and very dark at the same time. Lindy setting up Ricky to be killed by the dot in order to escape, then the whole bunch rejecting help from the Doctor because he wasn’t like them, ouch. The visuals were quite striking and the performances from the guest stars, especially the Lindy and Ricky actors, were pretty good. I give it a 7 out of 10 though I could still bump it up a point

Daily Show is also off this week. Kimmel's gonna clean up in the ratings, being the only one with a new show tonight!
I wonder what time they tape. Maybe it was already in the can by the time the verdict was announced? I sure hope not.
5 minutes ago, wonderwoman said:doubt it — verdict came down 5pm eastern, 2 pacific.
that said, if colbert and meyers had new shows this they might have started taping. unless they had a heads up and held off.
Per Google, Kimmel tapes at 4:30pm PST so if that holds he should be able to remark on the news

While reality shows are nonfiction, they're a huge category, so they should keep their own category.
The nonfiction category would include any kind of docu series and things like "Dateline", for example.
Hope that helps.
That helps, thanks
Another question is where a certain show might fit. It’s possible that someone will want a subforum for PBS’ “Great Performances” series. It’s about showing various performing arts, like plays or concerts, but some episodes are essentially documentaries. That seems like a hybrid show but would it make sense to put it under the Nonfiction and Documentary subforum or somewhere else?

Hi everyone,
as there have been a lot of documentary requests, Primetimer created a new Nonfiction and Documentaries category here: https://forums.primetimer.com/forum/8795-nonfiction-and-documentaries/
All nonfiction and documentary forums will be moved and/or converted into topics over time.
Please request only parent forums (eg, <insert channel or streming service> documentaries). Otherwise, feel free to start topics for documentaries in the respective forum yourself.
Thank you,
CrispMtAir
A question: What do you define as Nonfiction, apart from documentaries? Would that be anything defined as a docuseries, including reality shows or is it simply another word you are using for documentary, whether one episode or multiple?

If there is a topic for Great Performances, I couldn't find it. But I thought that this might be of interest to some:
'How PBS Captures Broadway Shows for Great Performances'
excerpts:
No, no topic for Great Performances as far as I know, other than here. One can always be created if you think there's enough interest and if you don't know how, just say so and either a mod or one of us can create it. I'm not sure at the moment what subforum it would go under as it is both a documentary and a performance series, but we can easily ask the mods to figure that out

Good choice on dumping Tyler I think his name was, he was useless
I’m not sure why Gordon would get so upset at his team losing a member if the winner from either team ultimately gets a mentorship from him. I guess he’s just that ultra-competitive

Does anyone know what Old Ruby was signing? The hand movement looked familiar but ASL is different from BSL.
It was just movements figured out by the movement specialist for the actress so she could easily make the same movements every time. It wasn’t ASL/BSL but I don’t know if they were based on sign language

In these reduced seasons, I was a little surprised we needed a "Doctor Lite" episode.
That couldn’t be helped as Ncuti was committed to finishing up his “Sex Education” series and it started filming much later than planned. As far as I know it only affected this episode and “Dot and Bubble” since they were filmed in the first block; I don’t know if the Christmas special was affected as it was in the next block

It makes sense to me that the words/hand motions/psychic field/whatever that the old woman was doing would cause people to hate/fear/abandon Ruby. That plays into a recurring theme for Ruby, as well center the magic around her. I don't need it explained exactly. I don't care what she was actually saying or doing. But I have 2 problems. First, that her magic worked though the UNIT ear pieces and didn't just effect the soldiers, but Kate herself. And second, more importantly, that it worked on the evil PM. Why would some curse/spell/whatever centered on Ruby cause him to flee and resign from politics? We didn't see him have a particularly close relationship or anything with her. How could the old woman cause him to run like that? Also, there was no need for the sexual predator aspect of his story there at all.
Well, it wasn't just people close to Ruby that became fearful and ran away when they talked to the woman or felt her effects. I guess with Kate listening in via her earpiece to whatever effect the Old Woman was having on the Unit people, it affected her too as it relayed whatever magical effect the Old Woman was having on people. Remember, the curse made people abandon Ruby and since Kate and Unit could help her, the curse needed to drive them off so Ruby would be further alone. With Roger, he too was affected when Ruby got the Old Woman to stand beside him and he talked to her (remember, an aide said a few minutes before that "he still talked to everyone"). Like everyone else who talked to the Old Woman (including Josh in the inn who also didn't know Ruby), he looked at Ruby and became frightened and ran away. Whatever the Old Woman needed to do to drive him off, she apparently managed it. That fairy magic seemed to be pretty powerful
As for Marti and the implication that Roger was sexually abusing her, it seems a lot of people didn't pick up on that, though a lot did. But I think it was used to further show he was a monster and for Ruby to have to make decisions as to whether to help Marti or complete her agenda, and for awhile she chose her agenda. Then Marti gave her assurance that she needed to take out Roger before Saturday, so she did it in that moment

That was just so much, I'm confused but I think mostly in a good way? I was certainly riveted, it was like Doctor Who does Twilight Zone/Black Mirror, but I really wanted some actual answers. I don't need to know everything, they were clearly going for a fantastical horror vibe so I want to leave some things unsaid, but I wanted a little something. Why was elderly Ruby always at 73 yards? What magic did she do that made people so scared of Ruby that they refused to ever look at her again and crack up, including her own mom and the nuke happy PM? If she was elderly Ruby and she wanted to stop the time loop, why was she just signing ominously while teleporting around? Where was the Doctor? Was Mad Jack a demon being held in the fairy circle who became the PM? Why are Welsh people who hang out in pubs such dicks?
Seriously, that scene in the pub really bugged me. What the hell was their problem, did they just feel like fucking with Ruby because she's English? They see a scared young woman running in shaking with fear and looking for her missing friend and they decide it would be hilarious to scare her even more? She certainly wasn't being "a bit racist" she asked if she could pay for a room on her phone, she only started to explain her phone when the lady just gave her a blank stare for ages, and they were the ones who started going on about fairies and ghosts, she just asked what the circle thing by the ocean was, a totally understandable question.
Poor Ruby really got put through the ringer, her mom changing the locks on their apartment really hurt, its pretty impressive she kept it together as well as she did. I guess the Doctor went off to join the fairies for a spell after she stepped on their fairy circle?
I guess we should just say "the fairies did it" and be done with it? Even Kate said that they have been dealing with supernatural threats as well as aliens, so I guess fairies are just around to cause trouble and cause alien travelers to disappear when they cross their domain? This episode left me very stressed and creeped out, I really liked it even if I did want more answers.
This is what I've been able to gather rewatching the episode and talking to others on another forum, but some of it is interpretation or best left up to your imagination. At least with your first two questions, the Doctor stepped into a fairy circle and broke it and Ruby read a couple of scrolls. Both of those were offensive to the fairies/spirits and the Doctor was punished by being disappeared (or Ruby just got sent to another timeline as Kate suggested) and Ruby was punished with people abandoning her and running away from her when they meet the Old Woman. That played on Ruby's lifelong fear of abandonment, like her birth mother abandoned her at the church). So she really couldn't regularly share the mystery of the Old Woman with people so it made it hard for her to make connections with people. The particular distance probably didn't matter too much except it made it hard for Ruby to see the Woman fully. Her punishment was to keep people at a distance and to feel abandoned. For the viewer, It ultimately doesn't matter what the Old Woman did or said to the people talking to her, it was about the horror of causing people to abandon Ruby and leaving her alone. I think Davies said it was different for different people and whatever he would have written, wouldn't be satisfying to the viewer. It was up to the viewer to try to imagine the worst thing possible that would make someone, especially a mother, to abandon a person. At the end of Ruby's life, the fairies apparently took pity on her and allowed her spirit to return to 2024 and warn young Ruby not to step into the fairy circle, so the punishment didn't start up again. Whether the Roger guy truly needed to be taken out or not is not certain but Ruby felt it was her mission in order to end her torment so she took Roger out, but the torment didn't end until her death. Perhaps it did earn her some brownie points with the spirits. Note that the people at the inn relayed the meaning of the fairy circles and Mad Jack for the viewers, even if they were just winding Ruby up and didn't believe the stories themselves and Kate related some stuff about timelines. Listen closely to both and you'll get some explanation out of it

Breakin' On The One
in ABC/FX/Hulu/National Geographic
Hulu documentary that premieres June 24 2024
On August 15th, 1981, a large, excited crowd gathered at the plaza of Lincoln Center in Manhattan for the Out-of-Doors Festival. The highlight of the event was a breaking battle between the Rocksteady Crew and the Dynamic Rockers. What unfolded would prove to be a seminal moment in American culture, a showdown that has reverberated for decades across hip-hop, dance, race, and politics.
