  1. From what I recall from my wife when our kids were little, you have to keep pumping if you want milk production to continue even if you are not feeding them directly or bottling. Otherwise it is very painful and will eventually stop altogether. So by pumping and then dumping, she keeps milk production going for when she does return.

  2. I like Kaitlyn Dever a lot and think she is a fantastic actress but my reaction is the same when I first heard of this being rumored a while ago..."Her?" (TM Arrested Development).

    Look there are some roles where physicality is just as important as acting ability. Look at the Reacher Movies with Tom Cruise. Decent movies but nothing like the character. Now they cast Alan Ritchson who is much closer to the actual character physically and he is killing it. 

    Abby is a force of nature in the game. She is bigger than most of the male characters and can hold her own physically with all of them. Sorry but unless they do some big time cheating, in no way do I see her as a physical threat to anyone. Why would Ellie struggle so much with someone who is basically as small as she is? 

    Now I now she can bulk up but there is no way she can add a foot of height even with boots and camera tricks. (Nerd clarification, Ellie is supposed to be 5'5" in TLOU2 and Bella is 5'1", so they only need to add 9 inches to Dever's height to achieve the same differential) 

    All that being said, while I would prefer someone else, I guess we have no choice but to hope the show runners don't mess it up. I have no doubt acting wise she will knock it out. But they need to get creative to even come close to the game character from a physical standpoint.

    YMMV.

  3. I barely watch stuff on Prime Video and I will just obtain any shows from other sources if I want to watch something without ads.

    I already pay $180 bucks to Amazon Prime, plus another $120 a year for Kindle Unlimited and I am not paying them anything more to remove ads. That should be included.  If people just have Prime Video without actual Amazon prime then i have no problem with the increase.

  4. High school sucked for me at least. I would not relive those days for anything. 

    Now out of school I had some great times but in school was the worst. I sat alone at lunch every day. Sat alone on the bus to and from every day. I just went from class to class and immediately sat down and opened a book and read during all free time.

    While I had friends, none were in any of my classes or had the same schedule so I almost never saw them other than in passing. I skipped so many days due to it.  My senior year I skipped 45 days. F that place.

  5. The water to the showers was actually turned off in my school.  If anyone did want to take one you had to get permission for them to turn it on. No one did that I am aware of. They turned it on before athletic events/practices but not during regular school day.

    They didn't even have enough time from the end of gym class until the bell for the next class ran to do it anyway. Was like 4 minutes from the time class ended before the bell rang so you have to get changed in that time and be ready to leave the locker room to head to your next class (or leave if you were lucky enough to have gym as the last class). You would always see girls doing their makeup in the hallways or at the start of classes since they didn't have a lot of time to do it after gym.

  6. Anyone saying she should return her Oscar is beyond stupid. Like borderline should be in a facility because they could be a danger to themselves due to not  having a working brain.

    The real person and any issues they may or may not have going on have absolutely ZERO relevance to the performance.

  7. Amanda is one of the nastiest messiest drama queens in the show's history it is just that most of the time, she is going against people that a lot of fans are either sick of or outright hate so she somehow has fans and people supporting her.

    You take her exact words and actions and apply it against someone who is well liked and most of her fans would turn on her in a second.

  8. I always watch on Paramount Plus. Much better with no commercials and uncensored.  I always thought it was dumb for this show to be censored on MTV in the first place yet when they used to post those clips or unseen moments they would be full swearing.  Like you are on cable. but whatever, that is another issue for another time.

    I wish they would go back and uncensor the old seasons too. 

     

     

  9. Well I remember watching it in real time and being hooked from the first episode.  If this was a new show and the original never existed, I doubt I would keep watching.  

    So the years of character development doesn't really hold water because the characters in the pilot were all better than the ones in this version. If Justified had only been 8 episodes long originally and ended on Blowback, I still would have loved it as each episode was entertaining and riveting. IMO of course.

    I just did a rewatch in anticipation of this show and by this point in Season 1, Raylan was firmly established as someone not to fuck with, who was quick witted and quicker to act if needed. This guy is no different than any other generic cop on any cop show.

    And this is no shade on TO. He is the only good thing in the show like I said but he is a watered down version who may swear more but it is toothless.

  10. The only good thing about this show is Raylan and unfortunately they have neutered him. He is one of the best badasses in TV history but you would never know it from this show. Plus his screen time seems limited in comparison to the original but that may just because that at least had interesting other characters we cared about and enjoyed watching in Raylan's absence. This just doesn't have it, at least not yet. 

    I literally could not care less about any other character aside from maybe the 2 cops. The redhead and the overzealous dog detective.  The rest are bleh.
