Irish Mermaid

Spring Break week could also be called Nepo Baby week. Paris Jackson, Ava Phillipe (even with brown hair she looks SO MUCH like her mom), and Charlotte Lawrence (who also looks like her mom, pre-plastic surgery). I guess they were passable for a show of this caliber, but I don’t think any of them are going to set the acting world on fire.

Mindy’s Uber driver being named Dolores has to be a shoutout to Pamela Adlon’s character in Grease 2, right?

And even if you *don’t* ask! I’m 11 years older than my youngest sibling. The year I finished college (age 22), he was 11. I picked him up from football practice one day and one of his teammates asked if I was his mom! Kids have no concept - everyone who isn’t their age is old. (We are now 56 and almost 45, I don’t get mistaken for his parent anymore. 😂)

That’s why I started watching, but honestly at this point, I’m watching for Rex Linn. Emmett is my favorite character. Reba & Melissa, in my opinion, have unfortunately just not recaptured the magic from “Reba” yet.

Boy, Joan’s son did NOT look impressed with Chock or the whole process! I think Guy had a lucky escape. I find him very attractive. but doubt he’ll end up as the next Golden Bachelor, he’s too reserved I bet. Didn’t really show a super dynamic personality - which is fine, but doesn’t make for the best “on the most shocking rose ceremony ever!” Did Joan’s audition include demonstrating that she could cry on cue? ‘Cause she can sure turn those waterworks on and off as needed.

Guy: “I’ve fallen for you” Chock: “I’m in love with you” Pascal: “The spark isn’t there” Joan: “Waaaaaah. I’m unlovable. Poor me. My husband died. Will I ever find anyone? Boo hoo.” Give me a break, lady. So it was OK for you to feel that way about Mark, but not OK for Pascal to feel that way about you? Apparently Joan is the only one who is allowed to make choices. I was neutral to mildly positive on her before last night, now I just can’t wait for her to get off my screen.

She had a show on CBS (Madam Secretary) that ran for 6 seasons that just ended a few years ago.

I have to say, Joshua Jackson did a hell of a Jack Sparrow … had the voice, the mannerisms down cold. But they’re trying to make us believe that Tristan, as hot as he is, won best costume in a basic captain’s outfit? Even if only crew members entered the contest, “Dr. Acula” and “Nurse-Ferato” were both better, not to mention Velma the host and several others. That was just dumb. I enjoyed Avery’s ceiling fan costume, I’m a sucker for those word play costumes. Is Dr. Acula — an undead character — another hint that Max is actually dead?

Way to make mom/grandma’s “celebration of life” allllll about Joan & Chock and their “journey.” If I actually believed that was the real event instead of totally staged, I would be so embarrassed for them. (I mean, I am anyway …) Chock is my least favorite of the final 3, so I hope she picks him and the other 2 escape. I feel like Jordan got a lucky break. I don’t even dislike Joan, but I’m tired of hearing about John, and whether she’s ready, etc.

I was not happy to see Gerry show up in the preview, but it’s better than when I thought he was going to be the “surprise” in the last limo, which turned out to be Kelsey’s dad. (I’m 55, so he’s the closest to my age and is definitely hot … which should be everyone’s signal to run far away because I’m always most attracted to men who turn out to be the most commitment phobic. Hence single/never married. He just struck me as being very full of himself.) Am I the only one who got the impression that when Gerry said “maybe your guy isn’t here” he meant HE might be the right guy? The one taller guy with glasses (Bob?) reminds me of Edward Herman from Gilmore Girls. Keith (first impression guy) and Chock also each remind me of people but I can’t place who. Something about their voices. I like Jonathan who wore the mask, and think Guy is the straight up handsomest. Jordan is also very attractive. Jack grated at first but grew on me by the end. I don’t watch the main franchise and told myself I wasn’t going to watch this because I was disappointed it was Joan instead of Faith, who lives in the same community I do, but I think they’ve sucked me in LOL.

I am deathly terrified of snakes so I’m probably going to have nightmares tonight. I covered the screen every time Kreese was in the cave with that thing.

Yeah, that was a letdown overall. Some good moments sprinkled throughout, but definitely a Sophomore Slump for the season as a whole. Not looking forward to a political slant in S3 - real world politics are already absurd enough, anything they try will likely not be all that outrageous. Hopefully, that angle was just to sell merchandise and they’ll abandon that idea before it returns.

Ok, that 911 joke was funny in an “inside Hollywood wink wink” way. Cannot stand the Georgia character. I realize she’s supposed to be awful, but she’s not unlikeable in an enjoyable way, if you know what I mean. Like for example, Ava on Abbott Elementary is highly problematic and yet Janelle James makes her fun to watch. Georgia is painful to watch.

Thank you! Yes, this is not a new problem, I always used to gripe about how it was too dark to see Morgan break down his umpteenth door, or whatever. It was an issue for YEARS.

What was the deal with Reenie’s lipstick in that final telephone conversation scene? It was another full lip width outside her lip line on the bottom. It completely distracted me, it was like a TikTok video of someone’s toddler getting into their makeup. The actress doesn’t appear to have abnormally thin lips, so why the attempt to make her appear to have a trout mouth?
