So we can safely say, @Nashville clearly has no tits to give.

Tupac was shot 5 times in 1994 and he survived (took a few more to put him down two years later) Well, if you have a healthy, sex positive outlook, there is no shame in being a Madam.

I just found this potentially spoilery article from back in February, reading this and now I am just not excited abut this show. I mean they removed these THREE????

Everyone complains endlessly about "whimsy" both the contestants and the audience. I agree, this particular challenge nobody really hit the mark as far as I am concerned but look, this season (which should have been titled "Coulda been a contender") has folks who have done whimsy, even scARY WHIMSY. Just look at this thing Graham made in his first season...

She had them the first season just not as extreme (although I would still consider this to be extreme)...

Oh no, not the spoiler place!

If they were the 1% of the 1%, it wouldn't matter if they had magic or not, they would have lives of ease. Think Jeff Bezos, a man who "earns" $52 MILLION A DAY. Amazon could disappear tomorrow and Bezos would still be ultramegadisgustingly rich. Same with any magician who had loads of non-magical money. Those that just had these fantastical lives built purely on magic with no real resources, well then yeah, they would be hurting. I reckon most of them though would have long ago fallen in love with the oldest magic in the world, piles of cold hard cash.

Great episode, lush visuals, clever music, all good but let's talk about Teddy and Delores and what they did together on that bed that left Teddy utterly spent and sleeping. Was that two robots fucking or was that two newly sentient, former objects of depravity, non-human beings mutually consenting to a profound way of self expression? I mean, it was both, right and it really was different from when Meave and Hector shagged in the tent that time. When M & H did it, Maeve was just waking up, Hector was not awake at all, but with Delores and Teddy, things really are different. They represent utterly different archetypes than Hector and Meave in really important ways. Hector was the formerly good guy turned rogue while Teddy was the good guy made to die. Maeve apparently at one point had been a good woman made to die, she was remade into the Madam with a heart of gold and a boatload of moxie too. Somehow, possibly just repeated sloppy handling at the hands of bored techs between each of her lives, Maeve begins to gain consciousness. Delores though, she was almost a prototype, maybe she should be considered one so she has a long, complicated history, she was built to serve complicated and conflicting forces eventually though, she was made to be the damsel in distress, built for rape and death. We the audience expected to see Maeve and Hector fuck, nobody raised an eyebrow over that. We never really had to consider sex between Teddy and Delores, they were the ultimate doomed old timey couple, doomed to never consummate their love due to (usually but not always) MIB, it was just their story line, they did not get to have sex, not with each other, not ever. Delores, from what we saw last season was literally built to be a damsel in distress, she was built to be threatened, be raped, be murdered. Perhaps with other guests she was rescued by the ruffians but still, she wasnt built to have sweet sex with her boyfriend. Now this episode happens to be when they do have that. It's cool, really that some folks are getting hung up on the audacity of two robots fucking. I mean, you see this and it's weird, like two cars suddenly hugging each other. It really is sort of jarring, the idea that these inanimate objects are expressing themselves so intimately, all naked and Delores rocking her O face. You know, the people creating the show could have shown this passionate sharing of self expression some other way. It was important to show that they were really expressing themselves OUTSIDE of their established current imposed story line (Teddy born to die, Delores born to be brutalized) so how could you do that? Let's say you show that via the spontaneous creation of "art". Well, stay too close to the established story lines (Delores plays an original composition on the piano, Teddy tools a leather belt), you fail to show sufficient deviation from the line. Go too far (they jointly create a kinetic glass and human entrails sculpture) you risk most of the audience going huh? I know my argument is weak, I mean ultimately they chose to show them having sex and that was comfortably within tolerance of their story line, you could imagine along with them when they wistfully gazed off into the distance together last season, you knew "someday" for sure included sex. But in this context, it worked to show they are pretty far deviated from whatever story lines they used to have. They both, for the first time in their lives, CHOSE to have sex whichever way you look at it, that's a mighty fine way to share self expression. Delores though, is she broken? Is she running Ford's last story? Is it some bug in the code everywhere? All f the above maybe. TL;DR If you see Delores and Teddy as non-human people, they had sweet sex. If you see them as = a smart phone, they pointlessly pantomimed fucking.

Well really, she was all "ew" due to his being cold as a corpse and probably bummed to since no heart beat would mean he couldnt get it up either so basically, Butch wanted to be cured and returned to warm blooded life.

I really liked this episode. I think John Dorie talks cartoonishly weird (par for the course with this universe) but if I washed up at his door like that, I would go straight for him in a heartbeat.

I dont know but they sure were pretty! Yes, that was a mega-herd! I found his final monologue very moving, I shed a tear and am not ashamed.

Right and when THAT Beebo said, "Beebo want cuddles!", that was terrifying! (and hilarious)

I agree with all of your post but love this sentence the most. I think these days, there is just way too much good tv out there. Seems weird to say but really, it's true. I've been a fan of the zombie genre for well over 40 years now, that is what brought me to TWD to begin with but these days, it is hardly a zombie show. I read an article somewhere recently that laid out possible ways to fix the show. The whole premise started with the special effects make up. The author was saying, the special effects make up are always so top notch (and seriously, that has not faltered in all these years, Nicotero rules the zombie make up game), everything else should be AT LEAST up to that par. I think in previous seasons it mostly was but everything else has gone down and down. Let's be real about a couple things though. This show is still (marginally) a ZOMBIE show and as such, it has ALWAYS been pretty disgusting. The gross out stuff is the basis of the entire thing (that sounds weird and I know lots of people dont want that to be true but it is. EVERYTHING else is just laid on top). This show has ALWAYS had people doing stupid fucking annoying bullshit. EVEN Darbont had stupid shit, it is the nature of LIFE for people to do stupid, self destructive shit. Even our heroes are just stupid people. Of course most heroes (especially action adventure heroes of zombie shows) are EXPECTED to rise above and do heroic shit from time to time. Rick, Michonne, Carol, Carl, Daryl have all had BIG DAMN HERO moments and every one of them have had gibbering idiot moments. It's just that now things are so distorted and messed up, it is really hard to see Daryl as a hero....it is impossible (for me anyway) t see Rick as a hero. THAT is a problem. IDK, this is another sort of odd thing but when this show started, I did not have cataracts. I do now so for me (and apparently LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE TOO), filming scene after scene after VERY IMPORTANT SCENE in pitch black darkity dark dark darkness means I have NO CLUE what is happening, I get frustrated, pissed off and eventually indifferent. You dont want me to see show? Fine, I wont try AT ALL. There are just too many great shows out there now! The Magicians, Legends of Tomorrow, Legion, Black Lightning, Z Nation, hell even Face Off for my special effects make up fix! Shows that respect their audiences, shows that put 100% of the budget on screen, well lit. Shows that construct plots that may be wacky but still make sense, still tell compelling stories, stories that help make more sense of this weird world we find ourselves in these days. I'm rambling, I know but I feel myself letting go of TWD. Maybe this is stupid but for me, the season finales of The Magicians and Legends of Tomorrow just rocked so hard that I'm beginning to accept that TWD will NEVER be that good ever again (and those shows are nothing at all similar to TWD). I think for me, maybe TWD went from a compelling story exploring the gray areas of life, one where there are good guys who have to make very hard choices and bad guys who hack off old men's heads just because they are full of themselves, to an unwholesome mess where everyone is just a shit head with no heart, no kindness, no love and no fucks to give. I never did believe the world would go so shitty if the ZA happened so now I just find the whole thing repulsive. Plus, Rick should have shot Negan instead of the windows.

So my two favorite shows just had their season finale. The Magicians left me feeling very sad for our heroes. Legends of Tomorrow filled me with joy and delight and pure HAPPINESS! Here it is the next day and I still feel HAPPY! ALL PRAISE BEEBO! So nice, so kind, way to leave me feeling good show, thank you. This show is AWESOME.

Just about my favorite thing in this entire, crazy, wonderful episode was......when Beebo defeated Mallus, they exploded into a giant, blue heart. Love trumps hate FTW!!!!!

Really good interview with the showrunners: http://collider.com/the-magicians-season-3-finale-explained/

Sure he did, he made sure everyone knows how much he loves playing douchey characters and drug dealers and rapists. Like, he said it over and over and over to the point where I will never look at that guy the same way again. Like, if I was at a party with him, I would never put my drink down. I would never accept a ride home from him. The guy is just flat out skeevy.

Because she is an ARTISTE!!!!!!!!

lol, I know but it would have taken me alll damn day to type everyone's name out so I went with nashville ;)

You know what NO ONE ever could have predicted? Lucille was the name of Negan's wife! Oh wait a minute, I think Nashville did....

Ok, Im not trying to defend any of this because there isnt really any way to, in the comics, Negan is more "mutherfucker" this and "fuckin' mutherfuckin' fuck face" than he is "balls, dicks, nutsack". I think this was the show runners "compromise" and man, it failed so hard. I didnt get it. I mean The Magicians on Syfy (SYFY FOR GOD'S SAKE) has characters saying fuck ALL. THE. TIME. All they did on that show (until this season I think) was block PART of the word. So you would hear "mother _ucker" or "Fuc_ me", whatever. Hell even FX's Mr Robot has "fuck" all over the show. Who cares? I mean sure, profanity can be very ff putting but "mutherfuckin' fuck face" befits an asshole like Negan so much more than this dick and balls stuff. DICK AND BALLS just makes him juvenile and unbelievable as a person who could cntrol all those mean ass dudes he has with him. Hell, the most powerful would be for him to NEVER say ANY profanity. The thing about Norman Reedus is he is VERY self conscious about his right eye. It bulges under his eye because after a severe motorcycle accident, he had to have a metal plate there, he almost lost his eye. Whenever he is not on TWD, the makeup people working with him can easily disguise it, or well enough. On TWD where they go for a far more natural, no makeup look, the only way he can "hide" the deformity is with his hair. He really ought to just own it for fuck's sake. We've been watching the show for years now, we're all used to the welt, he should stop covering it and let it be.

I think it's a sweet, old-fashioned name, I adore it! I once had a girlfriend named Sally and my wife is named Becky so yeah, old timey girl names do it for me!

I think for most of the men though, Neganland has been a pretty sweet deal. I think we, the audience, happen to come into his story right as things were starting to fray around the edges for him. In other words, I think someone (Simon? Dwight?) was about thisclose to breaking bad on Negan anyway.

Well, I took one for the team yall and watched talking dead. The walker on the cart thing, it folded down so the mouth could have been right on Negan's pride. Now how the eff we were supposed to know that, I haven't a clue.
