Razzberry June 19, 2018 Share June 19, 2018 (edited) I think this house is gonna send Helen over the edge, so to speak. I get dizzy just watching it on TV. I don't know, but like the neighbor's house I assume those supports have to be anchored to bedrock. I like her therapist, he seems to be dialed into her already.

Ugh. Not California. Again. I was loving Montauk. If we spend more than 50% of the time in Mansonville, I'm out. Quote 5) Remember, they caught the notorious gangster, Whitey Bulger, in Santa Monica. 6) And here's a little bit of extreme potential trivia: Last season, Noah was hospitalized after that knife incident. Treated by an unseen Dr. Quittner. Hmmm...This whole fictional exercise was supposed to be set in New Jersey, specifically in the Florham Park, Livingston area. Investigated by the Livingston police. The town next to Livingston is...West Orange. AND, ready for it, back in the day, there were twins, the Quittners. Good athletes. Now, doesn't that just make your toes tingle.

gingerella June 20, 2018 Share June 20, 2018 Ay yi yi, I could barely get through this season opener, it was that boring and tedious for me. I'm soooooo fucking tired of all the angsty hand wringing and whinging about how stressful and terrible these rich people's lives are! Seriously, they all seem to have a shit ton of money, they live in amazing homes, I mean who is able to pick up and leave their gorgeous NYC brownstone to go live in a modern glass home in the Palisades or wherever Helen and Vik's new home is?! You need to be pretty wealthy to do that and yet, they're never - and I mean NEVER - happy about anything. These characters suck the life out of a room in one second, and they suck the life out of me just sitting on my ass watching them on my television. It's amazing how great this show was in S01, and how bad it has been ever since. Sarah Treem must have had some great collaborators that are no longer involved, or she's a one seasons wonder because this show is nothing like the S01 show I adored so much.

subina167 June 21, 2018 Share June 21, 2018 When/why did they move to Cali? I watched the SHO advertised S4 E1 but didn't see things that you have. When was Noah at a school being a savior? When did Vic fall? Where is Allison? What I saw was Helen getting crazy over the fact that the kid might be gay. Ugh! I used to like Helen. Now I can't stomach her. She reminds me of Darlene (Sara Gilbert) on the short lived Rosanne--constantly sarcastic and negative to everyone and about everything. I'm a Brooklyn girl so I don't like the move to LA. Grittier on the East Coast. Question: the last we saw of Noah, he was jobless and homeless. Where and how did he get the money to move to LA? It seems I've missed or forgot quite a bit.

For Cereals June 21, 2018 Share June 21, 2018 I’m voting for Vic’s mom for the win. If everyone is annoying, I appreciated her overt passive aggression the most. Maybe since I don’t leave my little 20 mile radius of LA often, I tend to miss many wackadoo trends, but I could get behind baby goat yoga if I don’t have to do yoga and they just walk on you, don’t have fleas, and don’t poop. I guess I have that with my dogs already. I’m inventing corgi yoga. Should these two be in the bathroom together? I can do without the Dangerous Minds references.

subina167 June 22, 2018 Share June 22, 2018 Things I don't get-- at the end of last season, Noah was completely lost, jobless and homeless. How then, did he get the money to move across the country, get a swanky Topanga apartment, the furnishings, a car and most of all a teaching position when he was a convicted felon? Do you think this is a bit unrealistic? Liked East Coast better-more gritty and realistic. (Okay I am an East Coaster) BUT have visited the stunning West Coast several times and have been a guest at a Malibu home on a cliff overlooking the Pacific. It's a big YIKES! In the beginning, I liked Helen but not anymore. She is now very much like Darlene (Sara Gilbert) on the short lived new Rosanne--totally sarcastic and negative 24/7. ENOUGH!

Noah is attractive especially when you know Dominic West is a devoted husband with four kids - Ruth Wilson is attractive and a great actor as is Joshua Jackson and Maura Tierney. If I wanted to watch only feel good series I'd switch to a fantasy series. This is a great show with complex storylines and complicated characters - can we have some positive feedback please?

She talks to Helen like Helen is her enemy and she is trying so hard to create a fight or conflict. She is sarcastic, unfriendly, and filled with hate. The way that woman is scripted, she should be in a horror film because she is sinister and seems to be foreshadowing something very evil. Run Helen run. Or hide all those knives. 6 Link to comment

JenE4 June 23, 2018 Share June 23, 2018 (edited) We’ve only seen Vic’s mom from Helen’s perspective so HELEN thinks she’s smothering and overbearing, but she probably just brought over a dish or two, not filled the ENTIRE fridge with food, etc. Likewise, the neighbor probably just brought over a couple of avocados and didn’t act like we’re going to be best friends and goat yoga partners now that you accepted my bounty of avocados. It was also interesting how as soon as she told the therapist she left her parents 3,000 miles away, she comes home to Vic’s mom. So, I think she’s painting Mama Vic through that same lens that she sees her parents. Just like the Mexican restaurant: Helen was feeling close with her family (before Noah busted it up) so she remembers it dark and quiet and intimate; meanwhile Noah was feeling anxiety of pushed out of the family so he has sensory overload with brightly colored paper banners, people chattering to a near roar, and a freaking mariachi band so he can barely hear them. Helen is “earthquaking” everything that isn’t just her, Vic, and the TWO kids. So now she’s this season’s Most Unreliable Narrator, I suppose? But why do the writers keep rehashing this storyline of hallucinations?!? We GET the point of the show that people see and remember different things based on their own emotions. But now I’m worried that THREE people are traipsing all over New York (Manhattan and Long Island), New Jersey, Pennsylvania, France, and Southern California without any proper treatment or medication. (Sure Allison had three months of inpatient treatment, but she was still hallucinating her daughter dead off the horse afterward.) Not that I WANT the show to go there because the whole delusion plot has gone off the rails, but MAYBE Noah and Helen will bond over their hallucinations and perhaps we’ll see how Noah magically got better aside from sex with Juliette...sex with each other, perhaps?

(And why I think complaints about "same event from two points of view" are missing the point.) Chances are that Noah's class isn't quite as godawful as his filter showed us, either. From the beginning that's been the theme of the show--that there is no shared reality. (Or that the amount of reality we share is miniscule compared to the perception of reality unique to each person.) We've seen this enough in the characters, and in enough of the characters, that we now must abandon any idea that they're especially delusional. No, the show is telling us that they're normal, completely like us. (Even the tertiary characters--Noah's sister and hometown friend, for example--see events in a manner not necessarily consonant with how others see them.) The whole soap-opera-ish plot of The Affair from the start has been a vehicle for conveying this knowledge that the belief in a shared reality is a delusion. It's a knowledge that has to be gained over and over again, because it runs so counter to the belief that we desperately cling to. There have been attempts to capture this knowledge on film before, going at least as far back as Rashomon, but none so sustained and immersive (or to my mind, fascinating) as The Affair. Sometimes, after watching an episode, I find myself marveling that we humans can even agree to call that thing we drive a car, and that thing we live in a house.

This is a prime example of implicit bias contributing to institutional racism: It's so outside of the realm of possibility that a black kid could be so smart about a topic that he just HAD to have plagiarized the material. Because of that, he's held back a year. Only, it's not. This is where Noah's "Dangerous Minds/Freedom Writers" story arc is going to come into play, where he's going to try to play the savior to a black kid already damaged by the system that's supposed to educate him. 2 Link to comment

I think this was a great first episode and I think this is going to be a great season. Agreed. I rather enjoyed this first episode and I will remain cautiously optimistic that this season will be better than last (it HAS to be...right/??) Loved Papa Keaton as her therapist. He's just awesome in any role he plays. On 6/20/2018 at 8:35 PM, subina167 said: When/why did they move to Cali? I watched the SHO advertised S4 E1 but didn't see things that you have. When was Noah at a school being a savior? When did Vic fall? Where is Allison? What I saw was Helen getting crazy over the fact that the kid might be gay. Ugh! I used to like Helen. Now I can't stomach her. She reminds me of Darlene (Sara Gilbert) on the short lived Rosanne--constantly sarcastic and negative to everyone and about everything. I'm a Brooklyn girl so I don't like the move to LA. Grittier on the East Coast. Question: the last we saw of Noah, he was jobless and homeless. Where and how did he get the money to move to LA? It seems I've missed or forgot quite a bit. Please be kind and re-wind for me. I need to be brought up to date. Thanks very much. Are you sure you watched the whole thing? They had a scene in the "previouslies" that showed Helen saying that Vic got a job in LA, and Vic fell at the very end.

BUT to be fair, I first saw him in a movie called "The Awakening" and found him verrry attractive. Now--ugh, not at all. Edited June 28, 2018 by Duke2801 2 Link to comment
