Well...I think it's a mixed opinion here. Characters who are insufferable are still insufferable, at least some of them, but some dialogue seems to have improved and some plots are moving along

That street race at the legal speed limit was hilarious

So what happened to the crafty, dangerous Cyrus? Unless he’s putting on an act, he’s lost a lot of his mojo I’m really liking the new actress playing Kristina; the character is a mess though. I also like the new actress playing Molly, though not as much as the one playing Kristina

Netflix 6 episode doc series that's a comedic take on the playbook of cult leaders. Premiered July 28

I feel the same way, the last few days have been pretty good with the writing by the “scabs”

If I were Portia, I would tell Curtis I won’t allow him to treat me like that and then tell him I won’t desert him, but I’ll be back in a couple of days and he better have a better attitude

Showtime documentary premiering on August 11 How late rap icon Biz Markie left his mark on the world

Netflix 4-episode doc series that premieres August 9

An article in the Media thread said their stuff started airing yesterday or possibly today. Which makes sense since the WGA went on strike a few weeks ago

Temporary scab writers starting today on GH according to this article https://shadowandact.com/general-hospital-hires-temporary-writers-whove-crossed-the-picket-line-to-make-new-episodes-during-wga-strike

I was actually surprised she came clean to Sonny all of a sudden, but it’s definitely a relief given how long this story has been going on

Highlights for new programming in August (it's pretty barren): Frontline: "Inside the Iranian Uprising" (August 8) "Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland" - as previously stated this doc series makes its debut this month, specifically August 28-30. How the 5 parter is doled out among these 3 nights may differ among local affiliates; WETA is showing Part 1 on the 28th, Part 2 & 3 on the 29th and Part 4& 5 on the 30th Several already airing doc series will have their final episodes this month, including Iconic America, Human Footprint and The Great American Recipe (Season 2) As usual, check your local listings as there are probably repeats you've missed

The show is on Max in the US and they are only up to Season 3 Also to note, I saw an article that indicated US Ghosts telecasts will be repeats, so I don't think they will attempt to match UK Ghosts when airing

Premieres August 23 (time TBA) on HBO and streams on Max

Thank you, I couldn't remember what the year was

As far as Janet goes, as I think I understand it, the Chinese had sent her back into the past to 1992 (I think that's the date). When she and her then-coworker Rebrov (who was adorably dorky here) stopped somewhere in 1992 so he could ask her on a date, he got a text on his phone, which turned out to be from future Janet who was being held in 1992 by the Chinese (at least I think so). He was able to remember that from George telling him the phrase on the note that Shiv picked up that Janet left before she was taken elsewhere and then was able to tell the team what he thought was going on with Janet. Janet apparently is really, really smart and knows how to build a machine that resets time (maybe she built the Lazarus machine?) so the Chinese grabbed her and had her build a time reset machine for them. But something has gone wrong and I think their black hole is unstable and keeps exploding and destroys the universe (or that section of it). But there's a deadman switch at Lazarus that resets things when it's destroyed thus the 3 weeks back in time and repeat loop

I just saw this this morning and it was really good. Brooke clearly loved her mother and has probably compartmentalized some of her feelings about her. Brooke’s gone through a lot in her life, including her early sexualized roles, and it was interesting to hear her thoughts and feelings about things. I’m glad she’s currently in a good place with her husband and kids

How did Archie figure out George set off the bomb and caused the last reset? That wasn’t clear to me

Woooh, Janet actually got sent back in time. Next season is really going to be interesting. Really good episode. I liked Archie teaming up with that Chinese agent, George finally figuring out how to save Shiv and so much else. And George finally gets his girlfriend back. Did he lie to her about them being married and having a baby?
