Yeah, that was weird! I thought I had missed that he was also Kristine's lawyer, it made NO sense whatsoever for him to be painting Natalia as a liar trying to besmirch Kristine. All the while Michael himself is talking shit about Kristine. I was so confused! lol This show was just full of weirdos!! lol Even the Manses! They seem overall good for Natalia herself, but I don't doubt that they work the system.

Yes, right in the middle of gen pop. She's pure scum.

Yes! Was Kian wearing an ascot?!?! lol He also said the most he'd been in the woods was a couple of HOURS. And, I think Eva?, didn't want any bears out there-- not while SHE'S there. And Louie was definitely going to boil that water because it was brown & sludgy! He made it sound like if it had been clear, blue water it would have been fine, no boiling required. They seem to conflate city grit & a plucky spirit to being able to rough it in nature. Alan is fun, though. I like his sense of humor. A pick/fruitless pun AND that hair, he's got it all!

I caught this on History Channel this morning, Sat, Dec 16, started at 6AM CT, 6 eps. I didn't watch any of it, but set to series record. Is this the first airing of it in the States?? Looks like they decided to burn it off here!! Didn't hear about it (on TV) & no future airings in next 2 weeks.

Wow, it looks like they're burning it off here in the US. I found it by accident this morning while channel surfing, on History Channel. Sat, Dec 16, aired 6 eps starting 6AM CT. I set it up to series record but missed the first ep (haven't watched any of it yet). No future airings in the next 2 weeks. Pretty sure this never even made prime time, I didn't hear anything, and just checked the (original) Alone forum & the AUS thread, and nothing there.

I am a fan of grunge, and yes, they were horrible. The only redeeming value was the song about the spider in the room, because the subject reminded me of the song 'Lullaby' by The Cure, which is also about a spider in the room.

*Sings*... "My name is ANNA LEIGH! And you're gonna have some FUN WITH ME! Come on, DAAAAADDDDDDDDDD!!!"

I like how Nicole was throwing the sign for 'I love you' rather than devil horns (RIP Ronnie James Dio). Oh, and Robin doing the hang 10 sign while talking to Sebastian Bach. Also, "I was made for loving you"?!?! Disco night was last week. I LOVE "To Be With You" by Mr. Big, but I really wanted to hear some hard rockin stuff (esp w/Sebastian freakin Bach there, really wanted to hear a nice scream from him). So, Kiss' dip into disco, Bon Jovi pop rock ballad & a Mr. Big ballad didn't cut it! Did like Nicole & Jenny's looks though. Also, Macy Gray's voice is WAY too unique!! No way it's not her. 🤘🤘

Admittedly, the first song Hawk sang, I didn't recognize the voice as anyone's,. When he did the sing off with Royal Hen, all the sudden it sounded like him, even the rasp, which I didn't hear in the first song. I played both of them back, same thing, first song, nothing, then 2nd song, sounded just like him (to me). And I meant to look up the Miley Cyrus stuff, but forgot! lol And the tour info makes sense. It will be fun to see who it really is!

I thought Sebastian Bach too!! For the way he talks & stage presence, BUT the singing voice *had* me stumped, it didn't sound like really anyone, but the range is high enough for SB. But, I watched the clues package again & when he first starts talking he goes 'All right!' in his screamy kinda voice, AND there's a monkey, for Skid Row's 'Monkey Business'. Here's hoping he'll do a song that will showcase his infamous scream! lol Also, I'm 99.9% sure Hawk is Bryan Adams.

And since The Daryl Show seems to have the CRM, which was the focus of World Beyond, PUHLEASE don't make me actively root for the FASCISTS cos the rebels are such idiotic ding dongs! Please for the love of all that's holy don't make the teens/children in this show entitled, insufferable douchebags that are going to tell/show the adults a thing or two. I really wanted the fascists to turn those teens into test subjects, then go have a Super Rave w/all the industrial techno they could handle!! Ugh! TLDR; don't make me want fascists to win & have fun

Well hot damn, Daryl had a bath. Givin' the fans what they want!

Man, I refuse to believe this shit! Billy Idol?! 80s, Dear Ones!!! As a teen in the 80s & little kid in the 70s, this is driving me nuts! I saw Chris smile for a split second in the trailer & knew his dad was Donny Osmond. I don't care that they're young! This is bullshit. I hope they never figure it out & all go home cos they guessed wrong. And to Chris the Victor go the spoils!! HARUMPH!

If they Luke & Laura Negan & Maggie... that's BS! What was 'romantic' & 'redemption' back in the early 80s is narcissistic gaslighting in 2023!! On OLTL, the guy who played Todd (Roger Howarth) wasn't going to have a Luke & Laura w/Marty, which is where the writers wanted to go, and that was the mid-90s. He actually QUIT the show over it (Then came back even more villain-y, and NOT becoming a COUPLE w/his fucking rape victim!) (Sorry, soap opera story lines from General Hospital & One Life to Live...)

That asshole doesn't even have jurisdiction! This isn't the United Municipalities of Zomberica. Is he going to extradite Negan back to New Babylon?? Now I want The Croat to feed him to the fleshies.

Yes, the pipe turned (from the floor) at a 90° angle, and was sticking up. He fell onto that, going into the base of his skull. Negan pushed him further into it. And yeah, that was Ye Olde Negan sparking back to life...

Yeah, don't bother with the 1-hour episodes. They've split up the 2-hour eps & renumbered them BACKWARDS. First 2-hr episode: Part 1 Then 1-hr episode: Part 2 = first half of Part 1, that you've already watched. They number it as Part 2 to make it look new, but it's not. It's the FIRST hour of the original, two-hour Part 1. (And they do that with the entire series.) I think they do this for ratings & DVR purposes.

The following is from the NIH website. Yet none of these brainiacs thought to do this? Not even the judge who re-aged Natalia, based on the 'growth' idea? (I have more or less been the same height since I was 13! I'm almost 52 now!) Estimation of age from development and eruption of teeth The clinical method to assess dental age is based on the emergence of teeth in the mouth. This method is more suitable since it does not require any special equipment, expertise and is more economical. The times of eruption of teeth are fairly constant and this can be made use of in ascertaining the average age of eruption of the tooth. The estimation of age is an important and is commonly carried in medico legal area. The use of teeth for determining someone's age has its origin 170 years ago when tooth eruption was first used for dental age estimation in connection with child labor. In response to the need for age estimation of factory children who were not allowed to be employed under the age of nine and with a restricted working time between 9 years and 12 years of age. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4130020/

LOL! I spied Wheat Thins & Ritz boxes, too. "What are your pillow needs?"

Another thing about the dad-- I knew he was lying about that day at the cow field thing, when he said that Natalia signed that statement about the electric fence. No way in hell a CHILD under TEN, or any minor, would sign a liability waiver!! Or anything close to it. Wouldn't be binding & I can't see any business owner expecting a child to sign it! lol But Dad said her eyes lit up & she was eager to sign it! WTF. Everyone is weird in this thing! Even the prospective adoptive parents. Judith, who seemed so mezmerised by Natalia that I think she has biases due just to that. She has really romanticized a mother/daughter relationship with someone she probably hasn't even spent a day with! And that other couple, where the husband said he felt she was evil. But he said that AFTER talking about how Natalia seemed to just be obeying what her adoptive mother at the time was telling her. I thought he'd say that the MOTHER seemed evil, cos clearly Natalia was looking to her as to what to say & do. So calling Natalia evil seemed contradictory. But then there's the stuff with the nurses talking about Natalia's behavior at the hospital. It even crossed my mind that somehow Natalia and KRISTINE were in cahoots from the get go!! I mean it's all so bizarre!! As far as someone being able to tell her age, couldn't they have taken her to a dentist? Different teeth grow in at different ages. Isn't there like a 12-year molar or something??

Me too!! It was driving me nuts! The flippers, the fake window, the laundry/bathroom combo! Also the blue patterned tile & the window near the street.

It looked like it might be a Cane Corso. The first time I saw one was on another TV show, and they called it a Mastiff, but to me it looked like a Pit Bull, and I thought the same as you! (And it also really bothered me.) BUT a Cane Corso is descended from a Mastiff, although not quite the same? (They are called Italian Mastiffs.) It's kinda weird, but I did find this: https://a-z-animals.com/blog/the-mastiff-vs-the-cane-corso-key-differences-explained/

Even worse, she's the one who, a couple episodes ago, interrupted Allen & Khelsi's talk because she was not going to be ignored! I was so glad after that, when Allen took Khelsi on a date and SAID that his talk with her was interrupted (by Kiersten), so he wanted to make up that time. Glad she's gone. However, after Cassidy Jo let everyone believe she shared some passionate kiss with Allen (and she didn't beg him & he placated her with a peck!), I wanted Allen to go directly up to Cassidy Jo and tell her to get the hell out. (He clearly isn't into her enough to put up w/her weasel shit, why not just boot her?! Kiersten is harmless, could go next.) I am really glad Allen asked Khelsi for a REAL kiss, and Khelsi was like 'Are you sure?' Take THAT, Cassidy Jo! Also, Lily annoyed me with her "Oh, Allen likes you BEST!" crap. How the hell would she know?! Didn't know what the hell she was talking about, just kissing ass for some weird reason. Stop feeding insecure & needy Cassidy Jo's delusions! Gonna break that poor thing, bless her heart.

Magic carpet ride.

Yes! I thought I heard that! Is she calling to Sharon?!
