First of all, I'm really sorry to hear about your history, Shape, but do you really think Bob is a "Prince Charming"? I find that interesting because I don't see him that way. I've only just started to see him as perhaps a slightly more interesting, nicer, less pathetic heavy guy than I did in the first couple of episodes. Now I do get it that the show might be trying to portray him as some kind of prize package for Abishola, but I've already posted on how I don't like that so much.
I think Billy Gardell basically plays the same "husky nice guy" in every show, lol. But what I don't understand is how Abishola could be considered such as prize either, other than the fact that Bob's obviously very lonely. She doesn't radiate any kind of warmth or pleasantness. I fall into Bob's demographic, and Abby does nothing for me. I'm into funny, quirky, friendly, interesting women. The "ah, I'll tolerate you" vibe from Abishola kind of bugs, even though she's softening to him.

Amen Sister. Wish there were more women out there like you. 🙂

I liked Regina but now they are making her the broken black woman who for some reason doesn't want children so we must fix her. Let's dig up past bad experiences and abuse, emotional issues and when fixed in one or two shows, she will change. Maybe it wont be this way but I feel it. I've known women who just didn't want children or later adopted older children and they were fine, they exist everywhere but TV.
Yeah it kinda bugs that they take the most functional character on this show and breaks her in ways that don't totally make sense. As far as her eatery is concerned, some of Gina's questionable decisions, I believe, are due to her constantly having to pull the weight for an absentee partner.
In other news, Delilah and Gary were tolerable for the first time in ages. Loved that he finally stepped up and publicly made Katherine feel welcome. Time will tell if Delilah will pull her weight in the business. Also, on a shall note, I wish someone would do something about D's hair. Always looks like a messy bird''s nest, lol.

Of course they're putting Eve in baggy clothes, gotta hide Andrea Brooks's pregnancy.
It's not working. That's baby bump is showing even in scrubs and you can see the pregnancy weight gain in her face.

It took me a while, but I believe I found a screen cap of Nina when she was berating Valentin at the church...
Oh that's SO funny. Now all I can think of is Nina growling "you have brought dishonor upon my hoooouse..."
In other (shallow news), Nina and Valentin made the least attractive wedding couple I have ever seen. Only on this soap could they be romantic leads. Frisco and Felicia they ain't.

I like that this show is bringing up issues like prejudices that I wasn't aware of before, like between Africans and African Americans.
Speaking as an ADOS, the bias exists between many immigrants of color (such as those from the Caribbean) towards us. The general (usually incorrect) impression they have is that we ADOS often fail to take advantage of all the opportunities available here in America, making us, ah, less than admirable. Sad, but true. I've heard it myself many times.

Didn't Brainiac last season say he couldn't help her or change (his) history?
He's honoring that by not telling Nia about what her future holds (specifically) or that one of her descendants (Dream Girl) will be one of the Legion of Super Hero's founding members.

Totally agree. Five years now, and we're back to freaking Guardian? A concept that never worked in the first place. He needs a regular role on one of the Big Three networks.

Shallow follow-up: Melissa is a true heart commander. Unique combination of adorable and super-hot sexy. She really was rocking that pink dress without really trying.
Disappointed that they're making Lena evil just for the sake of having another season-long "big bad" arc. It's not like Lena hasn't kept secrets from Kara too.
Kinda meh on the pants thing, but it looks better than the cheerleader outfit.

So Lena's fake speech about no more secrets while hiding that she has super powers.
Anybody know what Lena's powers are besides super strength.
What are Jimmy Olsen's powers?
What was that mechanical lens thing that shoots the beam that Brainy/Nia (can't remember which one) was using?
This could be wrong, but I don't think Lena has powers anymore. Didn't all of that end with her experiments last season?
The device that Nia uses was created by Brainy. It channels her "dream power" into some kind of concussive force blast. The concentric circle effect kind of reminds me of Havok in the old X-Men comics, only not as cool.

Oh? I thought she was just doing, like, nude cosplay and stuff like that, I thought the turn to actual sex was a new thing. If not, then yeah, that's super weird that it became a story just now.
Seems like she's been "easing" into the work, no pun intended. According to the inter webs, she's been posting topless and semi-nude pics online since about 2014. And there's been hardcore stuff online featuring her for at least 2 years now. I think the recent articles are just meant to drive publicity for her new movie.

I don't get why Bob hearts Abishola so much when she's rude and nasty towards him. This is actually a little sad to see an aging, over weight desperate man so lonely that he would subject himself to such rude behavior in hopes of ending work being his whole life and has no circle outside his family.
I "liked" this post primarily because Bob represents a certain demographic in our society that probably flies under the radar. This show is getting off to a relatively slow start for a Lorre production, but I'm going to stick around to see if it finds its legs.
I heart Billy Gardell, from what I read he's a really sweet, decent guy IRL. Remember him getting an unexpected standing ovation from the audience on the View a few years back. He's got John Candy-potential, IMO, and I'd like to see him get a big screen opportunity.

In super bizarre news, Maitland Ward has decided, in her 40s, to become a pornographic actress.

It's interesting how this news just broke. IRRC, she's been doing porn for about three years now. Not saying how I heard....

I was really hoping this could turn into a pseudo thirtysomething. But nope.
Speaking of old shows, anyone else remember the ABC drama Brothers and Sisters? That was my jam back in the day. A gifted, A-list cast (Sally Field, Rachel Griffiths, Ron Rifkin, and Matthew Rhys among others) and very plausible, entertaining story lines. It was too good to last, though, and barely got 100 episodes.

Yeah, the nerve of her to call at the busiest time for such a lame question. Uh, Delilah, you can just use google to find the song. Just type in the phrase you do know and it will come up with it for you. I am old and have done this a lot.
Sorry, but there is absolutely no evidence that Delilah can use Google without help. 🐵

There was, as always, tons going on, but I just couldn't get over Gary trying on random peoples coats. Like, who does that?!
Honestly, I hope Gary gets head lice. Or scabbies. Or fleas. Anything just to get him to chill the fuck out and act like a normal person every once in a while.

The healthiest thing would be for her to cultivate her own circle of new friends. With everything else Katherine is dealing with, even infrequent exposure to that crew should be enough to push her over the edge.

Since this show finished fairly strong in the final two or so episodes of last season (and I really want to like it) I came back for Season 2. But another couple of episodes like this and I'm out.
As another poster noted, when a show-runner or head writer becomes such a focal point of conversation (unless it's someone iconic like Dick Wolf) there's a real problem going on. The Good Place is one of my favorite shows ever and it takes me three minutes to remember Show-runner Mike Schur's name. Probably the way it should be.
There's just so much talent on this show - it could be light years better than it is. Grace Park is killing it - her face betrays the toll this situation is taking on her. Btw, when Katherine asked Eddie "what did she have?" (regarding the gender of Delilah's baby) did anyone else initially think she meant "what does Delilah have that I don't?"
In other news, either separately or together Maggie and Gary are one of the most annoying television couples ever.

I know Gary is supposed to be the funny one, but I find myself laughing far more at Rome's lines. His delivery is perfect--far less gimmicky than Gary's. In fact, I find Gary more likable when he's not being snarky.
Gary tries too hard to be the "edgy, madcap guy." It kinda bugs. Rome's humor is more organic and gives you real insight into how he views the world. Gary would be a much more likeable character, IMO, if he just dialed it back a few notches.

So many people tell him that this show helps them with their depression, etc. I am at a loss to see how. Truly. The writing is not really there nor does it go into much detail to be of real help.
Actually I get that one. I'm not big on Freud, but old Sigmund was absolutely right when he said "depression is anger turned inward." Every time Maggie or Gary go off on a rant against someone that's offended them, there's always going to be a segment of the audience that relates and cheers.

They are billed as an adventure couple and every single adventure is a snooze fest.
Where have you gone Luke and Laura? Or Frisco and Felicia? or Robert and Anna? True action-adventure couples. Sad thing is, a few of them are still on the show, back-burnered and sacrificed at the altar of JaSam.

There was one more thing that bugged me about this episode. I didn't like when Abishola asked about the other kid's grades in the principal's office. That was really immaterial to the whole discussion.
Actually it was very material to the whole conversation. As with many immigrants, Abishola's family is all about reaping the benefits of living in America. Right or wrong, she wants her son to become a Doctor and academic performance is key to that. She sized the other boy up based on his mother and wanted to convey the sentiment "oh that no-class idiot isn't going to hold my son back." Maybe Abishola could have handled it more skillfully, but I endorse her stance. For what it's worth, the Principal came off really badly here, especially if both students weren't suspended.

Why are so many children in commercials obnoxious these days? The one that really makes me cringe is the new Raisin Bran commercial. Loving Dad is watching his tween daughter ride off on her bike. He tells her to be careful and make good choices. She snottily replies "you make good choices." If that's my daughter, the good choice I make is to take the bike away for about a week or so until she figures out how to speak to an adult respectfully.

I have no idea how this show thinks publishing works, or why Kelsey is apparently so amazing that they cant possibly exist without her. She has good instincts, and is an actual Millennial, but, as was pointed out in the episode, she has very little experience actually running a company, and when she did get the opportunity, she made a big gaffe, and had to step down.
In real life, these combined companies would have no authors or investors and stockholders would be running for the hills. Also, staff would spend more time sending out resumes than actually working. The companies' senior management (outside of Diana for the most part) have a lot of personal/professional baggage that the whole world knows about; they'd almost certainly be considered laughable toxicity in the real publishing industry, even Diana for choosing to stay there. 😞

The comments on this board are on fire and better than anything aired last night IMO.

Yep, I pretty much said the same thing weeks ago. Only because this is a Darren Starr show has TV Land suspended their "five-years-and-done" edict for original programming. And sadly, Younger's creative crew doesn't have the chops to carry off the two additional years.
10 hours ago, thesupremediva1 said:Ugh, Kelsey. You messed up. You aren't publisher. Life has consequences. Don't give Charles guff for making a decision. Try to maintain what's left of your dignity!
Kelsey has so much growing up to do. Yes, you fucked-up girl. Own it and move on. However, she did a good job speaking at the all-girl school, so there's that.

As an admittedly shallow male I can tell you why - his hormones + her rocking body.

S02.E05: Austin
in A Million Little Things
This Forum for AMLT is far more interesting and entertaining than the actual show, thanks to you guys. 🙂
When is the last time we've seen Gary actually at work? Maybe the middle of last season? Incredible. Katherine, Rome, and Regina appear to be the only characters with a somewhat realistic work/home balance. In fact, we see Regina more at work than anywhere else.
Yeah that was weird, wasn't it? and does Theo know his parents are sleeping in separate rooms? I do kind of see the point with Katherine, though, as she may still need some space between her and Eddie.
Although I posted weeks ago that Eddie and Katherine really need a fresh start, it can never happen within the show's context. The escapism was a nice little distraction, but hours later they have to pose for a photo with Eddie's former mistress and his out-of-wedlock daughter. It's nice to dream, but reality hits hard. I can dream about being married to Salma Hayek, but when I wake up...sadly, I'm not. Nor am I her Billionaire Husband, lol.
Maggie is threatening to surpass Delilah as this show's must un-likeable character. She's Immature, whiny, and runs away from problems at the drop of a hat. Hey, you're beating Cancer! Get tougher. Maggie's quickly getting to the point where it's hard to find a single redeeming thing about her. She and Gary together is like Toxic Sludge in a Quicksand Bog.
