  1. We can only hope.
  2. I don't really know anything about Danica McKeller, but I am curious why you think she and others don't support the comments made by the network? In fact doesn't her contract include making or approving some of the content? If so, I would think they would have had some talk or negotiations about what that would....and shouldn't look like
  3. So, I kept my word and I have not watched ONE episode this year. I did, however, say before Freema left that I could see them making something between Max and Wilder. It is forced and it is the final slap in the face for the fans who watched for the "joy" and romance they were promised. Now on TVline it pops up that Helen returned and Max (predictably from these writers) was pursuing Wilder. Just why? If you are not going to put them together, don't use Freema as a plot point to make Max realize that Wilder is "the one." It just continues the LAZY terrible writing that destroyed this show! Obviously we know Freema is shooting something else and is not in the US, so there is only one way this can go. Additionally, I have forgotten the terrible plot points, but I thought Helen couldn't talk or hear at some point last year, wouldn't Max have thought of possibly learning a different way to communicate then ? I am also appalled at the story of him learning ASL for Wilder! That is the only part of the recap that I read, I didn't have the energy for any of the rest of the people but I have to assume Iggy, Lauren and Floyd are terrible as usual. Wilder was at least o.k., but I see they had to ruin her by tainting her with Max...... I, for one, do not appreciate Ryan's dopey, earnest style of acting and I can't see why they would write him as the "leading" man, but also write him as a man no sane woman would want in a romantic relationship! He doesn't know who he is so he reinvents himself all the time and attaches to something or someone to have a purpose! The only way this show should end is with Max SINGLE!
  4. I see them as just friends. Every man and woman who care about each other does NOT have to be a romantic relationship. Wolf should learn with Olivia and Stabler and whomever the boring couple is on International ...I can't even learn their names. Dylan is just a hoot to me. I am so glad they gave up on that boring relationship and I hope they don't revisit it.
  5. I personally do not like the way Ken "grades" the responses.....very good, good job, etc....like they need his approval? I actually am happy to see Andrew being competitive, just as I was glad this was not a Matt, Amy, Mattea final. Now the only thing I don't like is this best of 7!!! Best of 5 at most.
  6. It is about to be a party because those names and a few others are why I stopped "hate watching" Hallmark movies. I typically only watched the ones on the Mystery Channel. The others I gave up on a long time ago. I agree with this.....but like so many other things when a minority is involved we have to work harder and it has to be judged by a different standard.....like in real life..
  7. Can someone say "Mya?" If ever someone was criticized for being a "ringer" it was her, and even Zendaya and Nicole. Mya was the last full season I watched....
  8. I said, what I said, that Candace SHOULD go where she feels comfortable. I have no issue with anyone having an opinion or believing something different than what I do. My opinion of her acting talents have NOTHING to do with her beliefs. Personally, I hated Hilarie on White Collar..and I am never a fan of anyone airing what they feel about another person on social media instead of in a constructive conversation. Candace can say or believe whatever she wants, and I can ...not watch her....which as more to do (at least for me) with ther acting as much as it does with her words. I don't watch Hilarie either, because i don't enjoy her acting. I have posted somewhere the same thing that was stated above...it seems odd to me that people feel like including a few minorities in some movies is "slamming" inclusivity down the throats of others. Did it ever cross anyone's mind how it felt the opposite way? I do feel like the reason is because they are now doing what they should have been doing all along....how sad. Hispanic/Latin people may soon be the majority in this country, and already have signifcant numbers. Should we make art using mathematical equations....well, there are only 13% Black people, so they only get xxx number of movies, etc. or should we be humans and tell stories and use all people to represent what this country looks like? I too hate that there seems to be a flurry of a certain type of movie (many of them with the worst stereotypes) because I'd rather there be none than to continue to perpetuate false narratives, but I also balance that with the desire for a different generation to grow up with choices of who they see on the screen because I didn't have that. What it must be like to be able to watch old movies and not be reminded that the only people of color were either in a servant role, were shown doing something stereotypical (or their language like the Charlie Chan movies) or were dipicted by someone in makeup playing a Native American or person of color. I can't even imagine that privilege.
  9. And take that very bad wig with her....the one they made her share with Holly Robinson Peete....in fact, maybe that was the big draw? She would get better hair?
  10. I was just coming here to discuss this. She is such a mediocre actress and I am glad she found a place she feels she "belongs." Hallmark is not very inclusive, so the fact that she is going somewhere that is even less inclusive is frightening. She was very vocal in supporting that as well.
  11. I am not liking this best of seven set up.
  12. I don't think the guys tomorrow can beat Mattea on the buzzer. She is pretty fast. Glad for Sam, but today was a toss up for me. I would have been thrilled to see John win, but not unhappy about Matt either. I am glad I was wrong about this! I hope the finals are competitive.

  14. Same! I wonder what happened? i just realized yesterday that my episode was not recording, and then checked and none were scheduled for this week! Is this a new format? I don't recall three people being able to sit out until the semi finals before? i don't like it, and I don't like the exhibition game either. I hope it was taped after the other games were completed.

    Season 05

    I would have been fine with Missy? not coming back, but I am also fine with Nina leaving. I focus on the case, not the people. I wish we didn't have these "glimpses" into their personal lives. I find both actresses leave me blah, but if I had to have one I would take Nina any day over the Maggie character. Then again, I think there needs to be a third option. Someone who makes OA a "little" interesting.
  16. Go John!
  17. Still liking this better than SVU. It's not perfect, but when it's Benson and Wheatley free it's pretty good. This! Although I did like Wheatley until they went to far. Benson though...or any SVU people is a no no for me
  18. Yes, just another contestant that I cannot "connect" to. Totally me, nothing to do with them. At this point I am going to say something I NEVER thought I would.....I would rather watch Austin......
  19. Was rooting for Sadie, and she has gorgeous hair!

    Season 05

    I love any episode that OA is not featured. He is fine for the show, just not as a focus character

    Season 05

    I honestly hope the show doesn't go the way of romantic relationships and keep it about the work....whether it is Maggie and OA or Scola and the new person. Who really cares? I was already annoyed by Jubal's girlfriend and Maggie's boyfriend and they were not in the "core" group.

    Season 05

    OA is still off to me....and I enjoy the show SOOO much more without Maggie. Loving this more ensemble feel...as long is it does not involve OA running. Is the temp agent the same annoying person from Shooter?
  23. The same reason that Harlequin created separate lines for Hispanic and Black people for years, and rarely included Asians....because love stories also have to be segregated and can only appeal to certain people. It is ok for minorities to enjoy romances that don't reflect any of them but it is inconceivable that a movie can be made with POC in the primary roles and it be enjoyed the other way. The lack of diversity to me is how the towns or the movies have to be all one way or the other, as if we don't really interact with each other. The sassy/fiery friend, passive submissive date, smart talking boss or the friend that will be the first to get killed or never gets their own happy ending. I am always conflicted on this subject because on one hand I resent that "diversity" n size, hairstyle, etc. has not been shown, but I also resent that now "diversity" for black women is natural hair or braids and a certain body type. We come in all shades, shapes and hairstyles. I know the argument is there that black women who are skinny, lighter and/or with straight hair have been preferred, but now they are acting as if every black woman has a certain body type and hairstyle. So again, it sounds like I am complaining, but I really am just tired of thinking about why it has taken so long for people to be included and now that they are we (including myself) are picking that apart too just because of the history of the whole thing....ugh. Must be nice to never have to think of this because you are portrayed, and not portrayed negatively or with a stereotype.
  24. I am sorry but when I get more answers right than the contestants it is not a successful game for me. Some of the misses or no attempts were just shameful.
  25. Yes I read an article recently that said this Unspeakably Good Things would be the first of a few Mahagony movies.
