RIP: In Memoriam Thread
Didn't his brother pistol whip her at Sam's funeral? Or have I gotten that all mixed up? Sorry, I hit my paywall limit.

Here's one. There may be one or two others around.

Non-Hollywood Sexual Assault & Sexual Harassment
I hate saying, "Oh it seems obvious," because that is not the case with harassers. I will say that both he and his brother have given off vibes for a while of being men who think they can get away with anything. Just yesterday Andrew tweeted about being wronged, and got tons of gushing replies in response. Anyway, CNN desperately needs to clean house. I will not watch that network.

Doctor Who
Thanks for posting it here for us, @Vee . I have never gone back to any of RTD's Who work after the bad handling of Donna's exit in the Tennant sendoff, or, indeed, after so many terrible choices made in that sendoff which I have likely already bitched about here before (to recap - Donna, Tigger jumps, let's all laugh at the Master's abused wife, what a failure, lol, horrible out of nowhere character slicing writing for Martha and a vague "put the black characters together and get it over with" feel to said material). The bad and treacly Celluloid Closet-esque writing of Torchwood Children of Earth and above all else RTD's extremely arrogant reactions to criticism of that writing pushed me to never watch his work again. I do see why they are bringing him back, and I do appreciate what he did for Sarah Jane and Lis Sladen, as well as the wonderful return for Jo Grant. I haven't actually watched Who since the first few episodes of Jodie's run (I didn't even ever finish Capaldi's), so I am not sure if I will go back at this point, but I do hope it works out.

I've read that but anything I've seen of temp Lisa in the early '90s was Maeve Maguire, not Jane. This episode has floated all over Youtube (I think I first saw it over a decade ago on a shut down account that put up a lot of rare GL and ATWT content) and was the main time I had seen Jane in the role. I'm glad it still exists.- As The World Turns Discussion Thread

Rosemary Prinz did NOT appear on the show in 1979. IMDB is often wrong and poorly maintained. Bob gets a phone call from Penny, whom we do not see. He then leaves for a while. I imagine this may have been a story the interim writers set up that the Dobsons dropped, as it was more interesting to have a pornstache weirdo dominate the canvas. There is some talk about the recast Penny earlier in the thread. Most of us never saw her.- Big Brother 23
I don't watch BB anymore, although I still follow along to a point, but my main takeaway is how offputting it is to have a host pushing their religious views so heavily into the narrative (and I think she now also sends all the contestants Bibles...).- Knots Landing

I'm reminded of the months after the 2004 election where there was a great deal of hype, and gushing media praise, over W and Karl Rove winning over black and Hispanic voters through social conservatism. I still remember going to some of the 'progressive' blog sites and seeing diary entries along the lines of, "Time to throw gays under the bus?" Sometimes I still wonder what might have happened if the GOP had not massively screwed up in 2005 in ways even the press couldn't cover. One of the strengths the GOP has is that it exists only to cut taxes for the rich, appoint judges, and block anything Democrats want to do. This is still seen as perfectly fine, as the ideal, by many voters, the press, and many in the Democratic Party. That is why you have even the simplest policies which could win over voters and help people, like more flexible drug pricing, has been shut down by the "reasonable" and "bipartisan" Democrats in Congress who profit from nothing ever getting done.- RIP: In Memoriam Thread
So sad to hear about Melvin Van Peebles. To be honest I thought he'd died a few years ago.- The Media/Journalism Thread
Washington Post consistently has the biggest boo hoo baby "journalists."- NETFLIX: The Crown
It will be interesting in seeing how this ends up comparing with Kristen Stewart, who has been getting early raves. West is a very charismatic performer, so I wonder how that will translate to Charles. I saw some comments that Emmy voting ended before MKW passed. If true that explains the result a little more. From what I saw of Menzies' work, he was excellent as Philip, and I don't think he had ever won an Emmy before.- RIP: In Memoriam Thread
So sad to hear about Sarah Dash. Labelle were the heart of my favorite Laura Nyro album, and had some timeless songs that don't get much attention, like their cover of Moonshadow (better than the original) and What Can I Do For You? - Generations Discussion Thread
