Thanks for finding that. Is this Thom Bierdz in the McDonald's ad?

The first season their story had a lot of poignancy and ache. After that with Hank blackmailing her stepfather and the wacky Nadine stuff...eh. What made their early relationship special was lost. Going back to square one in the finale also annoyed me. I kind of wish they'd killed Nadine at the end of the first season, although I did enjoy her relationship with Mike and her cameos this season.

Yes, Curtis had a breakdown, sped on by Jeremy's evil twin Gilbert. There was something wrong with the baby, yes. The show fired Susan Keith and the guy who played Leo. @Vee I agree I wish that Susan had done more. I don't know if you've ever seen any of her work as Cecile on AW but she really is terrific - she and Laura Malone and some of the vets pretty much carry the show by the end of 1980. If Ron C had ever seen any of that then I think he would have snapped her up for OLTL (I know she was on there briefly in the late '70s anyway). As people have said, Loving really does seem very different from episode to episode.

So the net neutrality flaming shitbag has been kicked away for a few more months. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/03/fcc-nominees-confirmed-jessica-rosenworcel-brendan-carr-241298

@dc11786 posted a lot of detailed recaps about Christopher's character (Dante), but essentially he kidnapped one of the Curtises, held him in a dog cage, etc. Leo was only on from about 1993-1994. He was at Burnell's, the department store. I think Ava and Shana fought over him. He and Shana were written out in early 1994.

Oh I didn't know it was already around. Sorry about that. I sometimes forget how different Trachta was to the Thornes before and after him.

Someone was nice enough to give this to me. They may have the next episode in full. We'll see.

So that's why it went off a lot earlier in the year in these years? It's always odd to go back and see that the show just would not air for 4-5-6 months out of the year in some years in the '70s. My favorite part of that was getting to see Clive Hornby camp it up as the panto villain. I think the show making Jack so dour in the mid-90s was a mistake.

I was reading an article a day or two ago about Syrian refugees working in poultry factories, and how refugees from Middle Eastern countries have become a backbone of many plants in the last decade to the point where one of the main companies spoke out against Trump's Muslim ban. http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-refugees-in-poultry-industry-in-california-20170726-htmlstory.html I often wonder what those who insisted Trump would be so good for business feel now.

I'm surprised someone at the TCA would have been that unprofessional, even if a lot of fans seem to agree.

Apparently those are talking points from white nationalist groups. If that's who he was reaching out to I wonder if he knows how they feel about Jews.

This just makes me feel nauseous - the complete contempt. And this bill is NOT about being more fair to Americans. We will still get screwed over. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2017/08/02/a-trump-adviser-was-right-about-the-history-of-the-statue-of-libertys-famous-inscription/?utm_term=.e7364f972c12

So Ausiello hates the new show and feels it ruined Twin Peaks for him, per his original review, or whatever he said, but he's still happy to do a video about it so he can get oncamera and get to talk a lot about himself? Bleh. I did watch a minute but that was it for me. Maybe it's fantastic, I don't know. I guess at least he isn't singing random theme songs instead of talking about the show, like that Previously TV recapper who seems to have vanished the past two weeks.

The ideal seems to be faraway bit players who will wave at the conquering liberators in stage-managed fashion before various goods are taken and we leave them behind - that was the whole PR design for Iraq, anyway. When people who are in need of help actually want to come here, they are demonized and dehumanized, like the tiny amount of Syrian refugees who were going to be brought here last year. But that's what all this is about anyway - dehumanizing anyone and everyone, including many in the US, who are taught to dehumanize others so they won't realize they are seen the same way even if they are white and voted the way they were supposed to vote. Most of those in charge don't even bother to hide their contempt anymore, but it's never going to change unless people want it to change. Even after the plans against Medicare and Medicaid and health care, I don't think it ever will.

I also have to say that it annoys me a great deal to see Lindsey Graham out there warmongering and talking about how Trump told him how people would be dying over there, not over here, or whatever. I expect that type of stuff from Trump, but I don't know how in the world someone who constantly pushes himself as so intelligent and sensible is pushing this crap, especially when they actually are pretty close to hurting us over here if these missile tests are any indication. It's easy for warmongering senators to feel like big men because they aren't the ones who are going "over there." They have every luxury that soldiers don't, and that the average person over here who could be killed in an attack doesn't have. I'm just sick of this garbage. I'm sick of war being seen as a wank exercise and some middle-aged fantasy and a giant video game. People like this are why I am so afraid of tomorrow, because they aren't even "crazy" like Trump - they are, for some reason, widely respected and emulated.

Reading the article about Fuller's plans, I had to roll my eyes when he kept saying he was going to make the show into a sci-fi version of American Horror Story, but I think the idea of it being an anthology show wouldn't have been too bad.

A part of me thinks it will happen (especially because I do think North Korea will be acting soon), and a part of me thinks Trump is going to try to avoid conflict, beyond posturing, as much as he can, either because it confuses him or bores him or he doesn't like to do work. He has repeatedly seemed to think that tsk-tsking China is going to be all he needs to do.

Toyah was a rare and wonderful, intelligent young heroine in her first run. Did you see any of it?

Oh I always enjoy Nene gifs (gifs are probably the best part of RHOA). I watched the first season of Cheshire, I think, but not much lately.

It's hard to explain but she isn't really trying anything out - they're just sort of holding them and talking about them. The show was one of those lads mag type cable things I guess. I check their channel sometimes because sometimes they put up clips that have old soap actors. Anyway, sorry for the confusion.

It's not porn or anything like that but it does have her and the female host in lingerie and they show a few sex toys as well. I wasn't sure if any of her fans might be interested in seeing her back in the day (I think this is 2002) but it's definitely NSFW.
