Sorry to disrupt the Tom talk, but I was watching Whose Line last night and the guest star was Marisol Nichols. I didn't recognize her from any acting roles (apparently she's currently on Riverdale) but her name did ring a bell. Yep, she's a $cientologist. I couldn't finish the episode.

Marvel's The Badger vs. The Weasel - coming to a theater near you in Summer, 2049.

Mike's response to Scientology's response to Episode 6.

Oops, when I said "bugged out" I meant left the room. When Nicole was walking up to the stage it looked like there was a seat filler where Elisabeth had been. The light pink dress was missing.

Well, I guess $cientology will count this as a good day considering Elisabeth Moss's win at the Emmy's @Evil Queen, regarding Gotham:

People have already forgotten who Dick Whitman is? Awww.

And if I was watching the right row, it looked like Elisabeth Moss bugged out during Nicole's category.

Evan Rachel Wood's little duck tail 'do bugged me too. She was sure channeling her mom!

Speaking of Reese, did she lose her pants?

I get your point, but on God's behalf I must point out that $cientologists have nothing to do with him. Their nuttiness is entirely their own (and alien overlord Xenu's). If Meri ever chose to leave I can't really see this group engaging in a concerted effort to shun her, mainly because a) they're lazy, b) their life hasn't been about religion for quite some time, and c) they're still barely in the public eye and know it would look bad if it got out. As more and more of Meri's bonus children reach adulthood they would be able to keep in touch with her as they pleased, and I can't really see their parents bothering to convince them otherwise. Janelle and Christine were never Meri's bosom buddies so I doubt there would be much communication there, but that's nothing new and I'm sure Meri wouldn't be heartbroken. Things would probably be worst with King Kody, who would be irate because one of his statistics left, but having a cold relationship with your ex-husband is sadly not unusual. Plus, we've seen that Grandma Annie left the lifestyle but she's still very welcome in the fold. But hey, this is just a bit of hypothetical speculation. This clan has certainly surprised me before. (Looking at you, Maddie...)

It's from the smear videos $cientology posted in response to the episode, and Mike's comments were on his blog.

I was thinking Larry from the 3 Stooges.

I wouldn't miss the show but I'd really miss snarking with all of you guys.

This. Don't they realize that these kinds of statements say much more about the employer than the employee?!

Mistah Burt Reynolds!

Mike has a new post breaking down Scientology's response to this episode. Be sure to have your blood pressure meds and/or barf bag handy if you choose to read their nonsense.

You know, the books certainly weren't the epitome of great literature, but I'm baffled why the show runners felt they needed to replace the O'Brien's love interests from the books with their own creations (minus Trace). The book characters were generally likable but still provided enough drama to produce the will-they-won't-they obstacles that tv writers seem to thrive on. Again, it wasn't earth-shaking drama, but it was certainly better and more interesting than, "Rude Firefighter with 10 Pounds of Hair" and "Nolan from Revenge as a British Author." And why, why, why does Jess continue to act and dress like a 12 year old?

Murder, She Wrote?

I totally agree on all points, especially the first two! Now who's too pretty to cook, hmmmm? I wonder why Janelle isn't participating in shilling these fine fashions?

Aww, thanks @smorbie. You're bona fide! In other news, $cientology has already begun their lame attempts to smear the participants in this week's episode, and Mike has a summary.

LRH must have been channeling his inner Littlefinger when he cooked all this up - "Chaos is a ladder."

Mike's blog touched on this a bit. (Plus: Update 1, Update 2)

I must have gotten up on the warm and fuzzy side of the bed today, because my initial response to that picture is that that shade of pink really flatters Meri and brightens up her face. And yes, those boots are bad, but maybe the fact that she's wearing them means that she finally relegated the toeless lace-up suede wedge monstrosities to the garbage can!

In the latest episode, it was the employed characters sitting around (while other volunteers ran their businesses) that bugged me. Then Jess admits she pays David, "when I can," and responsible, financial whiz Abby just laughs? Say what? The last scene really made me want a s'more.
