  1. I have to say the writing on this show is awful. If the writers had one key that spelled out "fuc&" every time they touched it, they could've saved 30% of their time. I have a hard time believing anyone speaks like that. The chemistry between the young actors is really good and they're all likeable. That's the only thing I've enjoyed.
  2. Fair enough. Everywhere I've worked has been "re." Thanks!
  3. First of all, I did not care for the finale or this season. However, I believe Fuches got to walk away because he had the self-awareness of who he was, or wasn't, in his case. No one else who died did. Root is really a fantastic actor who can do anything. Winkler was also stellar across the series. Gene was full of contradictions, ego, and the things that make us human. I can't think of anyone who could've done that better. When I used to shop at Walmart, every now and then there would be an announcement of, "I need a manager to the gun room. I need a manager to the gunroom." Barry walking out with all the firearms he didn't use was funny and horrifying. And no one giving him a second look? The sign at WMT usually reads "Please refrain from openly carrying firearms." I guess it's a "Serving Suggestion." Barry dying and then getting memorialized (incorrectly) in the movie was the most American thing ever in this show. And I did think Gene had offed himself close to the end. For a previous poster: "Theatre" is where you watch a play. That's how I've always spelled it, anyway. "Theater" is a movie place.
  4. What if Chat GPT wrote a Netflix series? I imagine it would go something like this... Of course she did. Like father, like daughter. Think about it, won't you? (A 70s PSA, not a slam on you.)
  5. I don't care for this combination of TRUE LIES and ALAIS. It's really by the numbers. And I don't care for the secondary characters, other than Barry and Dr. P. His introduction was a masterclass in lame comedy. Also, Roo bugs beyond belief. It's the same character she always does. And it's annoying.
  6. Leo Bloom Day popped into my head on the first FJ. The second one? No clue at all. These folks are great, but I'm tired of James. I know that's the role he wants to play, but whatever. When he gets into the lead, I FF through stuff. Dude has another freaking show. Ugh. Mattea appears to have had a great relationship with their dad. I'm always a bit jealous of people who did with either parent.
  7. Netflix has pretty much nothing on, so I dialed up this. It's not the greatest, but if you buy into its world, it kind of works. I do have to say one of the bravest and most vulnerable things I've seen an actor do was the sheetcake scene. To me, eating is super intimate and I admit to doing binges like this before. It was a fantastic scene, and she nailed all the emotions you go through.
  8. This was must see TV for me this year. Great writing, acting, directing, the whole works! An important main plot that needs to be known and the subject matter of daily papers and reporters...just the best. Please, ABC...a second season! You've had THE GOLDBERGS on three seasons past its prime, so one or two more seasons of AD might start to make up for it.
  9. Huh. The way the episode ended, squeal of tires and a pitiful noise with shocked faces of the people. Good to know. Thanks.
  10. I recently told SEX EDUCATION to f-off after a S3 episode. Now this comes along. What is it with Britcoms and killing pets for laughs? You are DEAD to me.
  11. Dog in the locker last episode? Cat killed in this episode? This show is DEAD TO ME. I was only watching it to see the new Doctor in something.
  12. I don't think I can watch this show any longer. The whole Bela thing. "I want to be a comedy writer, but I'll give hand jobs and bang whoever can get me on my career path," is boring and insulting to women. If the Comedy!Boyfriend finds out about this, is he gonna shrug it off or will it be another, "Honestly, I don't get you, Bela! We're over." "Take off your pants!" He instantly disrobes. It's hard to like characters who seem to have no sense of self or self respect.
  13. "I make sure they finish first. I can do the same for you." Is this how meeting college girls really works? I hate to get into "When I was your age," but in college I asked out 24 young women I thought were interesting over four years and got 24 rejections. It didn't help that I was unattractive, but lines like that really work? I weep for the spawn of the Tic Tock Generation.
  14. What the f was that f-ing bunch of f? I expected Sam's mom to cold cock him with the pitcher when he was killing Allan. It's Chekhov's pitcher people! You don't make a big deal out of this pitcher and then not use it. I cannot even with this show. He locks himself up. That'll last about 20 minutes. "Mom, can you come down here? I need to be unlocked. That squirrel in the yard looked funny at me. I'm gonna kill him!" I wasted all that time. The worst thing I've seen this year. Easily.
  15. The Doctor has gone bad! Everyone is acting at the top of their game so far. It is also quite tense. Not horror-tense, but kinda like Hitchcock tense. I'm going to stick with it.
  16. I'm hate watching at this point. I'm guessing it's an alternate timeline? And I did read recently it's supposed to tie into GOTHAM. I guess every woman Alfred meets wants to sleep with him. It's really tiresome. And I like my Alfred with an RP accent...none of this Cockney. Although hearing Cockney rhyming slang in some of the dialogue is kind of amusing. I really have a tough time reconciling this with the previous backstory for Alfred and Bruce's parents.
  17. I liked it, but as the rest of Chib's run has gone, it's all WHIZ!BANG!RUN!PEWPEWPEW! No plot or trying to have any semblance of a story. Sasha is not the first Doctor to play Rasputin. Tom Baker was the only good thing about the 1971 film NICHOLAS & ALEXANDRA. The meme with Tom Baker and "So you want David Tenant back as the Doctor? Clearly you understand how the show works," has never been more appropriate. During Four's time we were told the TARDIS console room existed in a "state of Temporal Grace," so guns or other weapons wouldn't work there. Chalk that up to now being PEWPEWPEW! enough. I guess we have to endure more of Ten/Fourteen's underbite and the constant, "Sorry!" Don't get me wrong, I liked his run, but got tired of the approach the last season or so. Still good to see Tegan and Ace. Janet had a health scare a few years back. The moments with "their Doctors" was as well done as Sarah Jane running into Ten the first time. And the CA (Companions Anonymous) group at the end was so delightful. How I wish a few more could've been there. Jody didn't have good stories or writing, but I liked her version of the Doctor. Somewhere there are young girls on playgrounds running around with pretend sonic screwdrivers saying, "I'm the Doctor! Let's go fam!" The show is forward-looking while embracing a massive history, and that's cool. Thanks, Jody. See you on the con circuit one day.
  18. I started watching this with a lot of hesitation. I do not care for Swank as an actor. Long ago she was in our town for a production of THE MIRACLE WORKER. She was super nice to the locals, and there was a day she was in Walmart while on the cover of PEOPLE. A couple of shoppers recognized her and took the magazine up to be signed. She was cool with it all. She didn't fare very well in a live theatre performance. The show closed pretty quickly. I find myself liking Eileen and Roz together and separately. I've known a lot of reporters in my life, and Eileen fits in that mold. She wants to get the story, and has her own methods, which may or may not line up with anyone else's. The sheriff and taking the rifle out of the bag out of nowhere. Fat guy with a gun (Sorry, Chris Farley)! This is MUCH better than BIG SKY, a show where the bad guys seem to be immortal geniuses and the detectives have to be Hot!Detectives! It's on the Hulu list.
  19. I never watched this in the original run but have mostly enjoyed it. I'm halfway through S5 now and it's kind of a hot mess. Through all of this, Astrid and Walter have kept me coming back. Peter and Olivia, meh. John Noble can break your heart. Such a darn fine actor.
  20. Yes! That would be a blast. He's 92 now, I think.
  21. I read an interview in last week's PARADE magazine (It was Sunday and I'm old!) with Bob Newhart. It's the 50th anniversary of his THE BOB NEWHART SHOW. One of the questions asked was what he's watching now. WWDITS was the answer. If I were associated with WWDITS in any way I'd be jumping up and down with happiness.
  22. That was BSC in the best way possible. Grace can't point out Leland as the killer? She's in the country illegally? Wouldn't that supersede naming a murderer? And I can imagine the Chruch saying they granted her sanctuary from where she could be killed. As I've said before, do NOT mess with Sister Andrea. Plus, Andrea Martin is a dadgum national treasure. The oldest asking about becoming a nun while SA whacking a shovel upside some demon head? PRICELESS! The remaining demons also know not to mess with her, they all took off when she was playing Whack-A-Demon! Forgive me for this [shallow], but Schoolgirl!Kristen...uh...oh my! [/shallow] Fr. David out running and the offer of, "David, you want some?" wasn't about the water. The girls are so dang smart. Pinging Leland while Otter was talking to Kristen was genius. Andy showing up unannounced? How does that work? It's a long flight and no one at "base camp" would've known? Something's gotta come loose from his memory next season to completely nail Leland and Sheryl. Ben, you are the best. You see genuine affection for the girls from him. It may not all be acting. They all seem like such decent people off-screen. DF! How could I NOT see this? DF = Demonic Forces. And I was a screenwriting major. The ending in the home addition with the mockery of Christ's birth was frightening. Perhaps the scariest shot I've seen in a movie or TV in a long while. And the pullback to reveal Dr. Boggs? He still has no idea what he's dealing with. "We're going to be parents." As much as I love to hate Leland, I want him gone. Kristen, surely you've got another ice axe hanging around? S4 cannot get here soon enough.
  23. I say Sheryl dies. She'll either be tossed into the mess by Leland as he escapes, or Leland will kill her. Or something else. Probably something else.
  24. When he hung up the phone he said something like, "I'm good!" while hopping around all giddy.
  25. First off, this was batcrap crazy in the best way. I think I remember a screenshot of Kurt's manuscript as he was typing, and it looked normal. Maybe that was looking through his eyes. He has no idea what he's getting into with this whole cash for his "spiritual awakening" deal. Truce! Here's a stock tip! I laughed out loud. "I don't blame you for what happens Thursday," was the best line to put Sheryl off-balance. The last few minutes, I gotta stop watching this show at 6 a.m. Leland needs to get some form of punishment for this. Maybe is was all a part of "Five Eyes" plan. Leland takes a fall and/or really comes to "see the light." S4 will find him just walking through a park with that insipid grin on his face. I half expected Sister Andrea to come in and take Leland out. You don't mess with her. "Tell Father Ignatius I love..." /dies. A heartbreaking moment. Ben and his sister are wonderful. I swear this cast has the best chemistry I've seen in a long time on a TV show. Finale next week? It's going to be either satisfying or frustrating. Probably both.
