Lenu was writing about her brillliant friend Lina. The series did a wonderful job staying true to the books. It just sucks that there large gaps between season and that after really pushing it the first two seasons MAX basically released the last two seasons with hardly a peep. Bizarre.

I like how the show ended by reminding us that Oz is a despicable human being who has no shot at redemption because he’s rather be who he is. I was hoping that Victor would make it, but was also like, I wouldn’t be surprised if he dies. I just never guessed it would end like that.

I don’t think any of them should get extra time. It’s ridiculous. It’s all about gaming the system. If you legitimately have anxiety soooo bad that you need extra time on an exam, how you going to manage in college? Or in the workplace? You’re not going to be able to compete at a high level anywhere. Like I wouldn’t want a surgeon to make it through school with extra time due to anxiety - and then get so anxious in the operating room that someone dies. So either you need to learn how to manage your anxiety OR need to remove yourself from anxiety inducing high stress environments. Emily, if she got into a top college, would have failed miserably because of her anxiety. And while the mom was trying to save her daughter, does she really think her daughter is going to fare well with her “severe” issues and a mother in prison.

Lina lost me with her frantic bid to dump her kids of on someone so she could get some dick. I get it, she’s feeling all the feels. But she’s too old to be doing that. Yikes. ALSO, holy shit. She needs hardcore therapy. She was ganged raped in high school and seems to think what happened was sort of okay because she didn’t feel anything. She has so much trauma that she needs to deal with it. I rarely feel this bad about a fictional character but damn.

Antonio, the philosopher. How does this show just get better every episode.

This show is falling into the same trap that befalls shows like it. Lack of forward momentum to extend its run. it has now been 2.5 seasons and the residents/captives are no closer to figuring out anything than they were episode one. Not to mention that we are supposed to believe that some of these people have been there for years even decades. There needs to be some forward momentum, some “victory”, no matter how small, for our wayward town residents. It’s starting to get stale and repetitive. The monsters are evolving it seems but the people are not.

I am finding myself loving this show! And I can’t be the only one who actually wants Sofia and Oz to bury the hatchet and actually work together, lol. I really enjoy Victor’s arc as well, and I hope he doesn’t end up being collateral damage. I want him to get out and go to California!

They really should have changed the plot and made Claudia like stuck at 18. Neither of the actresses who played her can pass for fourteen and Delainey Hayles, while indeed very petite, looks like she’s in her late 20’s or early 30’s. They really should have tried to cast someone who looked younger! I haven’t decided yet which Claudia portrayal I like better. They are both talented.

Louis and Claudia are so delusional thinking they are good vampires. LOL.

You know I was willing to give Liv the benefit of the doubt because she didn't mean to kill Cara. She thought she was killing her husband; but her willingness to throw an innocent man under the bus was too far. Fuck her and her douchebag husband. And now Liv has killed two people (granted the latter was in self-defense but it wouldn't have happened if she hadn't killed the first one) all because she wanted revenge against her husband. I truly don't understand women like that. She should have divorced him at the very least the minute she discovered the sex tape and the fact that it wasn't a one-time fling with someone he barely knew. Remarkably enough the most likeable person on this show (Garth) got the shortest end of the stick. Will is a gaslighting asshole but Liv; she needs help.

Yep. But it only applied to Native American women. I know Yellowstone is fictional, but there's no way they would have sterilized a white teenager. Especially not one that everyone knew came from a prominent, if not the most prominent, family in the area. Clearly, a plot device designed to get the audience to hate Jaime, and it's ridiculous. I mean, the timeframes don't even add up, lol. If this show is supposed to take place in the present, Beth would have been born in 1986. Meaning she would have been 15 in 2001. At this point on the show, Jamie has done nothing worse than anyone else.

I’ve decided that I’m rooting for France because I’m sick of the Messi deserves it crap! As if everyone else should just move out if the way and let Argentina win because by golly Messi deserves a World Cup to cap off his career. No. Like no one deserves to win a World Cup - you win the World Cup because your team wins games. It would be different if folks were like I’m rooting for Argentina because it would be a pity if Messi never won the big one but this whole deserves thing rubs me the wrong way.

I am watching it! On episode four and I am loving it so far. Juan is my favorite, followed by Tilda and Abbi. Also, how are all these scientists so rich? LOL.

Perhaps things have changed but Mormons are allowed to drink and do drink soda. Coffee is "banned", along with alcohol, tobacco, tea, and illegal drugs. A lot of people just assumed all caffeine was no-go because both coffee and tea have it, but that is incorrect. Although, a lot of mormons do still avoid soda.

This is already their punishment, lol. TBH Kamila was the first Russian skater that I’m aware of who has ever tested positive for a banned substance; is cheating going on? Likely - just based on history in other sports and the entire Putin scheme in Sochi but it’s going to take more than one positive test from Valieva to have Russians banned in any meaningful way from figure skating. Also, I’m hearing the Olympic mess may not be finished until 2023. I’m still convinced that the powers are that be are just going to wait it out and then announce no change to the team standings.
