  1. /Shrug. Maybe she is good at everything? LOL. I dunno, I like Barbie. I like her "to the point" attitude and she's straight-up a good stew. Much better than Cat. I think people often misjudge that kind of constitution as coldness or bitchiness (especially in women) and really, I think Barbie just wants to kick ass at her job and be recognized for it. To Fraser's credit, he "got to know" Cat a bit and is trying to help her adapt - but a point against him for not doing the same with Barbie. Both women are young and a bit inexperienced, but I'm peeved at Fraser for so overtly swaying towards Cat and berating Barbie at every turn (including talking smack about her to other crewmates - not cool). I loved how Captain handled the situation. I'm loving him!
  2. What a weird and awkward episode. Honestly, the only two crew members from this season I would want to see again are Lara and Lily. I know Kyle has been all over the place and the general consensus toward him is hate… but I just feel bad for him. He’s emotionally unstable. And Jess… bless your heart. An insecure young woman and I feel genuine sadness for her. I dunno. I feel kinda gross after finishing the season - like it’s crossed the line from silly drama to overt exploitation.
  3. I was smiling through this entire episode. Chris seems like such a good guy and I couldn't be happier for him!
  4. Didn't MTV use the "I want my MTV" line in commercials before the song ever came out? I remember, way back when, seeing those (and being mad because we didn't have MTV) - but I don't recall if they before the song or in response to it? I like to call this show "bubblegum for the brain" - it's silly, done mindlessly, without effort, in the background, but it's fun! I kind of think the point of the show is to be pointless, light, shallow and airy. :)
  5. This is so disappointing. Seems like Netflix keeps canceling all the supernatural/paranormal shows (1899, Warrior Nun, The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself, The Midnight Club, etc.). I read somewhere it doesn't matter to Netflix what the ratings are, only if the shows are bringing in new subscribers. Pretty much nothing left on Netflix that I watch now...
  6. Dayum. Alissa is thirsty…. and Ross sucks.
  7. We’ve stuck around with this show through it all, but we are officially out. Jason grows into a bigger dick every episode, putting his “brothers” at risk operating with known brain injuries affecting every decision he makes, yet continuing to be Mr. Self-Righteous Sanctimony towards everyone else. That is not entertaining to watch. Sonny is such a whiney asshole now, I cannot stand him. Ray is leaving. I don’t know what is going on with Davis - she seems to be on a completely different show now. And the decision to murder Clay…for real? Was that meant to evoke sadness and grief from viewers? All it did was piss me off. It was unnecessary and lazy writing. Sincerely, I hate that we dislike this show so much, but we’ve deleted it from the DVR.
  8. The male guests were beyond gross and creepy. I am 100% convinced the women were paid to be there, they basically looked disinterested or disgusted. The comments those men made towards all the “girls” (I fucking HATE when grown women are referred to as “girls”) - including the staff - my skin was crawling. Gross. I must admit, I liked Kyle in the beginning. Now he seems so unreasonable, childish and lazy. Jeez, just chill with Natalya. The comments Reid made to Courtney… and the extended explanation of narcissism to what… seem funny? What a dumb guy. I hope he was trying to be funny, but talk about not being emotionally empathetic. Read the room, dude.
  9. Sooooo, unfortunately I have a lot of experience with dementia, and I'm not seeing the connection here. Sure, mistaking the gas for the break could happen (my mom forgot she had a gas cap, insisted she never had one before and couldn't figure out how to put gas in her car) - but doesn't seem likely it would happen with malicious intent. It's pretty common for dementia sufferers to "hide" their condition for a long time - but I can't imagine a level of confusion so high that he'd ram his car through his house unless he had been having an episode leading up to it, which he clearly wasn't when he told his wife he was leaving. It seems super unlikely he was functioning fine one minute, then he gets in the car, has an episode so severe he either wants to kill his wife or that he mistook the gas for the break. And clearly, if his wife knew he was having issues - why the hell would she let him drive, or not say something to him as he was leaving? As soon as my mom forgot how to put gas in her car, followed up by forgetting how to open the garage door, we promptly sold her car and there was no more driving. IMO, that's some shit-show writing if they go that route...
  10. How in the name of GOD did The Gilded Age NOT get nominated for Outstanding Period Costumes? Seriously? I don't typically pay much attention to the Emmys and now I know why - by reading the nominations is looks like there are only about 10 shows on television... I don't get it.
  11. No one else thought it was incredibly weird that Annie could just walk into Vought and steal a vial of perma-V so easily? Like it's just in the breakroom fridge or something?
  12. Count me out if this is what the show has become. I thought Molly was fake and weird and the challenges were overall ridiculous. And the finale…that sucked. Jaleesa wins the preheat with a chocolate cake? With piped lavender flowers? And as much as I like her, why the hell was Carolyn there at all? They randomly just bring her back, with no explanation, after being eliminated? Um. Okay. And then you ask the bakers to do something so personal and then inform them that only three go through the finals? Jesus, and then the two remaining bakers have to fight for the final spot by using sprinkles? Sprinkles. Fucking sprinkles?! Romy clearly should have been there, probably should’ve won the whole thing. That sucked. Stop with the stupid twists and get rid of Molly. It’s not the “Molly Baking Show” - right? Ugh.
  13. I'm super disappointed in S2. Before we watched it, we re-watched S1 and it was so great, I was concerned about S2. For me, it was really that S2 didn't create any tension. So, she gets on a train and goes to the past - from which she can leave at any time? No idea why the train works like this, no real reason she goes back in time to "fix" the family fortune stuff, no interaction with the other characters, no working together to figure out what is going on or why. Just Alan somewhere in Germany doing his own thing (without any real reason as to why he's doing it) and Nadia doing her own thing. I found it boring. I understand the producers/writers didn't want a retread of S1, but this simply wasn't compelling to me and I struggled with logical reasons why it was happening and with overall continuity.
  14. I'm a huge fan of the video game franchise and it's still a bit weird to see it on screen - but the show is growing on me weekly. Still not my favorite show, but entertaining enough. My biggest gripe is Kwan. Why do so many shows insist on writing the SAME massively annoying, "I'm ready to fight and make awful decisions!" teenager trope? I'm sick & tired of seeing "the kid" of the show written only with "spunk" and no smarts. Now that she's gotten her last remaining family member killed, maybe she'll grow some new brain cells?
  15. I was getting pretty bored with this episode and all the hand-wringing and talk of "it's my duty!" blah blah blah. Honestly, I blame most of this mess on Anthony. Yes, Anthony & Kate should've been honest with themselves and with Edwina - but - Anthony knew how he felt, had people telling him it was a mistake, had Kate asking him not to do it, and his pig-headedness about "duty" and trying to run away from his feelings for Kate only motivated him to propose. I found him grossly lacking in any emotional maturity and even though we glimpsed his back story (which was sad) - he's still a grown man who should've known better not to toy with someone else's life. If he doesn't want to be with Kate because he "doesn't want love" - fine - but to drag Edwina into it made me dislike him. I didn't like him much in S1 and honestly, I'm still not fond of him. I'm not really invested in the relationship with Kate (or Edwina) and find the Penelope and Eloise stories much more compelling.
