Born in 1940, entered poverty in 1949. We didn't have Ritz Crackers at home when I was a kid because "they're too expensive." Even now (I'm wealthy due to Social Security and a pension), I think I'm buying A Very Special Treat when I pick up a box. So...I'll try Ritz with chili but I'll use the crackers to just scoop the chili. (Do we need a Foodie page here?) I love this discussion, cuz, as a kid growing up in the 80s, I thought that Ritz were the fanciest crackers ever, and considered it a treat when my granny would share hers with me. And she did NOT break them out everyday.

Brilliant! I wish I could both love this and laugh at it.

Some people have pointed that out on here, and I agree. Elektra is living that persona to the hilt. Harsh and cruel as she can be, her flawless style, flair for drama, and flashes of vulnerability throughout the series made me love her. If you can, look up interviews of the actress playing her, her life is amazing.

Now that Gentleman Jack is done, this is the perfect addition to my Summer watchlist!

"ABC executives apparently hired Huntsman to offer some emotional support to McCain, whose polarizing presence on the show regularly receives online backlash and scrutiny, and the show's research on her scored extremely low. The source said: 'The network felt as though hiring Meghan's best friend would make her more likable." So, basically...Abby was brought in as a emotional support/therapy animal for Meghan?

I am loving the passion and energy that will.i.am and the other musical artists bring to the show! Their love of the music and the process of creation shines through. They offered excellent feedback, and it was so much fun to what them riff on the songs on the spot. The young songwriters are so talented, and so very lucky to have this opportunity. Just saw the end! will.i.am is truly the best.

^^^^THIS^^^^ I appreciated so much that their story was just one of many stories, and not the focal/central story.

Those legends got about 2 seconds a piece, and no name chyrons. Though, Raja got maybe 3.5 seconds, and rightly so. HOORAY FOR YVIE!!!!

Were those few episodes really the entirety of season 2? My daughter was convinced it was just a half season. Arrrrgh! We loved what we got, but we are so ready for more! Catra's story arc makes my heart hurt. Her relationship with Shadow Weaver is so toxic.

THIS. And also that the Dothraki and Unsullied didn't wreak some serious havoc at the death of their Queen. Those guys just seem to expand and contract based on script convenience.

I would watch this. Count me in. Though, my friend imagined Drogon taking her home, laying her atop a rock, setting her on fire, then curling up around her to die. Cersei was Sansa's role model. It reminded me a bit of Dany's Northern wardrobe, too,.

Shoulda thrown in a mule and some honeycomb to go with thse 40 acres...

Basically the only thing it meant was that Sansa was able to use that information to cause turmoil in Danys inner circle. It literally did nothing else. He didn't even come close to the throne It kept his ass from being Dracarysed.

So, Drogon be like: Fuck this pokey chair, and fuck this cold-ass climate. Come on, Mom. We goin' home.

It really was puzzling. In my imagining, I see Cersei having a backup plan to save her life and that of her unborn child. Once she saw the tide turn against her, she would immediately have left that balcony and proceeded into a secret passage underground that lead to somewhere safer. She could still encounter Jaime in the same place, they could still be trapped and die together, but, at least, Cersei would have died asserting some self-preservatory agency. Have them see each other, but not be able to get to each other due to rubble, and she has to watch him crushed under falling rubble. Then, she could die alone, weeping, as the building collapsed around her.

This was actually my favorite scene in the entire episode. As for all the rest, I say: "FUCK THIS SHOW." I'll be here next week cuz I am exhausted and I just want this to end. I sincerely hate feeling this way.

I think you are right, and they both played it so well. Emma was like Mary Poppins on steroids. I think you are right, and they both played it so well. Emma was like Mary Poppins on steroids.

These judges need to get together with the crew from Maine Justice. That would be a hoot! They could all go out to dinner, dog included.

I'll be honest...it did make me feel some kind of way. I had to really examine my feelings, and think about would I have felt the same if it had been a similar stereotypical white character being slapped. There was just too much history bound up in it for me to find it funny. I was waiting for Leslie's character to fight back, but she didn't. She cowered and took the abuse, and that made me feel very uncomfortable. I loved, overall, how game Emma was for everything. She truly is hilarious, a true master actor.

Ok...did Grey Worm survive? Cleanup is gonna be a f*cking bear.

"This is why people like me are so upset and so disenfranchised by how extreme this is!" - Meghan freaking out about terrorists being given the right to vote, which was not the topic at hand anyway. And also misusing the word "disenfranchised". Watching that scene, it was pretty funny just how over-the-top she made that performance for the cameras. Just a poor, disenfranchised, privileged, spoiled, conservative Arizona Princess standing up for 'Merica and being picked on by the mean liberals, with their evil facts and stuff. Even Abby was like, "Girl...." And, NOT ONE CLAP from the audience on her behalf.

I am only halfway through the episode, and I am already pissed. Hester is such a piece of work! Nadine had every right to be pissed. I love how direct and straightforward she was. Tessa had some nerve to wander over and ask her to adjust her design so that flighty Hester could make a new piece. And then Tessa got pissy, "I was just asking." Her and Hester are two Becky's in a pod. I don't remember the name of the man in Hester and Nadine's grouping, but I didn't like his whole "I have to be Papa Sparrow" attitude. I think he should have stood up for Nadine and not pressured her to compromise her vision. I don't appreciate how both Tessa and he expected her to make that sacrifice because of Hester's selfishness and lack of foresight. I hate that they were totally enabling Hester to be this massive snowflake. I don't feel that just because Renee is an older designer and has kids that she should have to babysit Frankie and Kovid. They need to level up and be adults already. Renee has her shit together, they need to have theirs together. Neither Renee or Nadine is there to be the Mammy.

I love that the other ladies took the opportunity to pummel Trump while tongue bathing John McCain, and Meghan had to sit there and take it. That was pretty brilliant. My response to Meg's comment about why would you want to be married to someone who called-out your boss would have been, "Why would you want to be married to someone who worked for a monster?"

Oops
