  1. I could've accepted this ending better, as distasteful as it was to me, if Jaime hadn't dragged Brienne and her feelings into the clusterfuck that is his relationship with his sister. It just seems so pointless to deal another blow to Brienne when it was all fo naught, since Jaime was always going to run back yo Cersei.
  2. I'm curious to see the logic bending they will have to do to make it seem reasonable that Bran becomes the king of Westeros. He seemed to imply that he was no longer really human and couldn't really get involved with the mundane affairs of men (thus why he refused lordship of the North). I figured he would go find some elves and a tree somewhere, in the epilogue.
  3. Her brother was also a huge, abusive asshole to her , had been her whole life, basically sold her like a piece of meat to a man with a brutal reputation, all to further his own ambitions, and threatened her and her child's life. Up until that point she had still tried to be a decent sister to him, but abuse can numb people.
  4. God I hope not, but I suspect it to. Sorry, Jaime does not deserve to gave his legacy live on through the Brienne. Her awesomeness, if it mixes with anyone, deserves something better then a weak man like Jaime, who choose his terrible sister over a great person like Brienne. Fuck, even Tormund would be a better baby daddy.
  5. Man I hope so. Much better then my fear of Brienne being knocked up by Jaime.
  6. I have a suspicion that, since they finally slept together, Brienne will end the show knocked up with Jaime's baby. After seeing the lame ass way Jaime went out, after giving up the magnificent beast Knight of Tarth for his psycho sister, I really hope my theory isn't true. Has there been any spoilers saying how Brienne ends the show?
  7. So what was the point of having Jaime finally get together with Brienne, if he ran straight back into Cersei's arms after their failed attempt to run off in the sunset together? Why let Brienne cry over this subpar version of Jaime? What a waste of a complex character like Jaime. Cersei should have burned. Screw her and her incest baby, I don't care how hard the show tried to tug at my cold heart. I'm someone who could get behind Dany having a streak of insanity/cruelness, but this was way too much way to fast. Dany was never an idiot, and she always had common sense and at least a modicum of compassion. Why they hell would a smart leader like Dany burn down the city she wanted to rule? Makes no sense. Liked how Qyburn got his, though, lol.
  8. Yeah, I know, but a girl can dream. The cast is very talented, and the writing was top knotch imo. It would be a real F-you! to ABC is the sitcom they cancelled was one if their only to get any Emmy's love.
  9. I really viewed TKAA as a worthy successor to the Middle. It may have never been a huge smash hit, but it could've been a consistently quality show that pulled steady ratings and had a decent fanbase. And considering the declining quality of some ABC sitcoms (The Goldbergs, FOTB, MF) or the lack of quality from other ones (American Housewife and Single Parents) they really could use a really good quality show in their lineup. In my saltiness, I really would love if TKAA got a little love from the Emmy's, so ABC could realize what they threw away. I know that's a long shot, though.
  10. Very disappointed by this, me and my husband gave really grown to love this show. I thought it was doing okay in the ratings? It's not a massive hit but it seemed to have a lot a favorable critical reviews. For the record, I like Single Parents but this show was definitely heads and shoulders above SP in just about every way. The decisions network television makes are weird
  11. $50,000 with only a bachelor's in a field that isn't in high demand and with no real work experience is a huge long shot. Kail would be lucky to get an entry level job that paid between $30 to $40 thousand a year.
  12. My guess would be that he is "hard to get" because he doesn't actually like or want to be with Kail, and to Kail, who's used to being the user, it is a challenge. The idea that she can win him probably feeds her ego. Putting aside attractiveness, since it is pretty subjective, I'm not sure why pretty, young and free Vee wanted to settle down with a teen dad who's only real accomplishment was being a cast member on a trashy reality show. With her looks and seemingly level-headed, chill personality, you'd think she could've done more then tie herself to a drama filled situation. I have nothing against Jo, he has matured a lot, but he hasn't done anything to prove he is any less a slacker then Kail in the last few years, unless there are some hidden businesses we don't know about.
  13. I know. I recently got my Bachelor's and am trying to find that a job I'm qualified for with a starting salary that doesn't pay peanuts. Yet all these girls are making insane salaries, all because that made the usually piss poor decision to get pregnant and keep their babies as teenagers. The only real justice is that I know these boneheads, aside from Chelsea, are going to fall pretty hard when, or if this show goes away. At this rate, though, the show's going to stick around long enough to document the mom's great-grandkids becoming teen parents.
  14. To be fair, Sutton, Kat and especially annoying ass Jane we're pretty condescending towards Richard's friends suburban lives in Connecticut, as if there is no life worthwhile if it isn't focused on living in a concrete jungle and a career. Instead of hoping her straight acquaintances will find her so sexy and amazing that they will turn for her, Kat needs to hang out with actual lesbians and bisexual ladies.
  15. Missandei nooooooooo! Figured her and Greyworm couldn't get a happy ending on butterfly island. I doubt Grey worm will live but hopefully he takes some fuckers out with him. Damn, Jon could've at least given Ghost a cuddle and some pets before sending him off. The politics between who deserves the throne, Dany or Jon, is one hell of a clusterfuck just waiting to happen. Not looking forward to that shit. I hope if they do press the kingdom on Jon, he totally shocks them all and breaks Westeros into seven self-governing kingdoms before he deuces out. I really can't wait until Cersei, Qyburn, and Euron get what's coming to them.
  16. Kail always had a pretty smile and some other attractive features, like her height and gorgeous hair. When she doesn't have that snotty attitude and looks natural, she can be quite pretty. Plus, maybe she got plastic surgery and it finally settled lol. Leah has always, in my very un-PC opinion, been a butterface. Her natural thinness and focus on her looks and being cute to men has fooled a lot of people, especially when she was younger
  17. The Grace Report published a video clip of the incident that lead up to UBT murdering poor little Nugget: https://twitter.com/GraceReport/status/1123574356066676736 So it seems the dumbass was standing by and LETTING Ensley unsafely poke her face into the poor dog's face, and of course like a normal dog , he (not very viciously) snapped at her in warning. What a piece of shit to kill that poor dog because he was being a piss poor parent. Frankly, MTV, Chelsea, Kail, and Leah, are all going to be pieces of shit imo if they don't take a stand and oh, I don't know, demand a) Jenelle be thrown off the show or b) that the show needs to be ended.
  18. For myself anyway, I thought the Night's King and his Undead Army were going to be the endgame, as far as big bad that the whole of Westeros would have to try to defeat. And considering the NK wasn't taken out by the dragon fire, the most destructive force known, it is a bit shocking that a Valyrian steal knife took him out like nothing. He seemed built up to be much more powerful then the average White Walker. I just feel like something was missing, like how the hell did Arya make it to the tree in time, that I needed for this to make more sense.
  19. Now that I think about it, I'm not 100% sure I saw her alive at the end, though I thought I did. I just really want her and Greyworm to make it out of this. Also, what the hell was Bran's point in all of this? He seemed pretty useless, for all his powers.
  20. I've always liked Sansa and Tyrion together, do if this episode indicates they're endgame (assuming they survive) kudos. The actors gave believable chemistry. The battle was amazing. The way they built the tension, was amazing. I'm glad Greyworm and Meisandei made it out. Really sad about Jorag, Theon, Lyanna, and all the rest. I will say, as cool as it was that Arya took out the Night King, I felt like it seemed...too easy? Too soon to take out the greatest threat in Westeros.
  21. I think what bothered me most about the LDB sequence is that is totally jarring. For all it's quirkiness and whimsy, GG was always rooted in something approaching reality. Dream-ish sequences were never a part if the GG wheelhouse, and it didn't mesh well with the show's atmosphere. Even the musical, pointless and over long as it was, didn't seem as out of left field as the LDB scene.
  22. Amy isn't particularly close to Mateo, but at least in the earlier episodes her and Garret were pretty buddy buddy, especially in a "We are the two sane people here, let's play our sarcasm off each other to get through the day," sort of way. They haven't really had much of screen time together in a long time so it's easy to forget, which is too bad, because their sarcasm played well off each other imo. The cringefest slapstick of this episode was mostly terrible and frankly, the show is moving too far away from what made it good in the first place. They've moved too far away from the realities of being a minimum wage worker in a big box stores and into fantasy land. I miss when they took on real issues (like crummy benefits and low pay) and the slice of live retail moments.
  23. Between the credits, the promo showing Jon, Sansa, and Arya walking through the crypts, and all the in show mentions of the crypts, something is definitely up down there and we are likely to see it next episode. I wouldn't be surprised if it blows our expectations of of the water, though. My guess the secrets in the Winterfell crypts (and Kings Landing) will turn the tides. Maybe some kind of hidden magics or even dragons, who knows. Lot of great moments this episode. Weirdly, I think I feel most sad for Grey Worm and Missandei, as I fear one or the other, or both, isn't going to make it. Both characters have had really tragic lives and it's sad that now that they have a sliver of hope for a happy ending together, it probably won't happen. I suspect the body count will be high next week.
  24. Wow, talk about not knowing your audience. It doesn't take much research to realize that most actual TM 2 and Chelsea fans (not shit talkers like us lol) are not exactly upper middle class suburban moms who wear Lululemon and sip their Starbucks lattes between getting their $100 haircuts and yoga classes. They needed to put out a baby line that had, at most, a Target level price tag. Though a Walmart price tag would be the most realistic. They really actually talked to some of their fans.
  25. Regarding Chelsea's military spouse sister, I believe I read on her blog many moons ago that she did have a bachelor's in a dentistry field, even with getting pregnant/married young. There may be many reasons she is a SAHM, including the possibility that is honestly the thing she wants to do with her life. Since she does without putting herself and her family on a trashy reality TV show, kudos to her. I have always said Chelsea is the best of a really bad lot, which basically makes her average. If the other teens mom's were anything to write home about (like the homeless teen Mom I read about many moons ago who managed to graduate HS with top honors and get a butt load of scholarships) I doubt people would fawn over Chelsea as they have in the past years. She is a perfectly nice but unremarkable young person. No shame in it, but no reason to put her on a pedestal, either.
