I read the last one - didn't know about the rest. Thanks. I had to laugh that they said the public would be their editor. That paper cares as much about the public as Mitch McConnell does.- The Politics Thread
Yes, they did.- The Politics Thread
I think what she did was stupid (and again reminds just how poor many on the left are at optics) and I'm not sorry she's losing gigs (I'm sorry she won't be on New Year's anymore as she was the only one who ever made me not feel bored to tears by Anderson Cooper, but even if they weren't Republican Central they likely couldn't keep her after this), but I have to laugh at one of them being "Squatty Potty." We are in strange times.- Falcon Crest
Thanks. I never can tell all the women who flitted in and out of their lives (Terry, Robin, Linda) apart from memory as I haven't seen the episodes in so long.- Falcon Crest
@Soapsuds can't remember if you were a fan of hers.- The Politics Thread
People should give their money to voting rights groups in WI, not a highly gerrymandered seat, but it's not my choice obviously so who am I to judge.- Loving/The City Discussion Thread
And sitting with his legs wide open, like he knows it... I've heard it was good, as was her husband Louie's cancer story a few years later. I wish we could see it. I remember an article when the show was ending and they interviewed various cast members and she joked that everything was life-affirming for Kate - even cancer.- Loving/The City Discussion Thread
He was, yes. His jokes were getting a bit off-color for daytime TV at one point... It was interesting that the Loving question they got was about when Lisa Peluso would be back. It reminded me of when someone here said that during Lisa's break they got so many calls and letters they had to start announcing that she would be back.- German soaps: GZSZ, UU & AWZ

They did forget. Liz Hubbard I think once said that she had a script where they had Lucinda mention "two daughters" and she ad-libbed "three." Looking back I'm always amazed at how much ad-libbing they seemed to let her get away with.- Twin Peaks
Thanks for finding that. I guess the ratings should have reminded me, but sometimes I still am bewildered at how many people who write about this show have no real idea of it. This review doesn't even know basic details: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/may/29/twin-peaks-recap-episodes-three-and-four-nobody-said-it-would-be-easy-viewing And an Advocate article about a trans activist furious over Denise called her "Denise Richards." Anyway, I am going to rewatch all of episodes 3/4 (aside from the vomiting...) and before I forget I meant to say just how fascinating and brilliant the scenes of Cooper escaping the Black Lodge were, especially the scenes where he was with the eyeless woman. I doubt it was intentional but the way it was filmed reminded me of the old Little Nemo comics, and also this: I know some feel that we have seen too much of the Black Lodge for it to be effective, but the expansion of it this season has worked very well for me - it felt like a creepy, dangerous place even with just the curtains and zebra floors, but there's another level entirely now - something more truly eccentric, truly bizarre - that eyeless woman jumping to her death (?) after helping Cooper. Ronette's doppelganger, or whatever she was, saying her mother was coming home. And the scene of the purple ocean was just gorgeous. I really wish I knew how to get that as wallpaper for my computer...- Twin Peaks
Thanks. He seems very grounded, like a lot of the cast (the ones who came back, anyway...). It was interesting hearing him talk about how difficult it was to get into filming the scene. The way he framed meeting Shelley and James again I wonder if that won't be a very happy reunion. I didn't realize Catherine Coulson passed away days away after filming. That must have hit the cast hard. What a strong woman she was. The AV Club review of one of the episodes mentioned how rare it was for a show to so openly show actors getting older, actors dying, etc. There's a lot of truth to that. Of course in some cases they likely had no idea (like with Miguel Ferrer) but it adds more pathos to the material. It's nice that Dana always has such praise for Don Davis. So I guess Harland passed away not long after the original show ended? That must have sent Bobby into a tailspin. I wonder who would have brought all the new technology into the sheriff's office. I doubt Harry would have cared. Maybe his brother? The Madeline Zima interview was a lot better than I thought would be. She seems very intelligent and very aware about Hollywood and the business. I guess being a child actor you have to be. The part where she said she struggled in taking a part with nudity but going ahead because it was David Lynch and the part about her convincing him to consider some ideas her way were especially interesting.- Twin Peaks
Is that it for Josh McDermitt? I loved the little scene of Lucy and Andy reaching out for each other's hands as Bobby wept for Laura - for comfort, having to deal with the emotion of Laura's death again, or being grateful that they never lost love. Whatever the reason, it was the right balance to Bobby's reaction. I remember their relationship in the original show as having a bit of a hard edge so it's been nice to see these sweeter moments all these years later.- Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
Is she a big fan of that Black Mirror San Janipero episode? Her TH is very that...- The Walking Dead: Discussion Thread
I just read about this as I looked up Josh McDermitt's name to see if he was on Twin Peaks. Jeez. This is why I avoid most social media. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/walking-dead-josh-mcdermitt-quits-social-media-threats-article-1.3145611- The Politics Thread
I noticed that Turner retweeted an article from Matt Taibbi that pointedly chose not to mention that the Republican in Montana already had most of his vote banked before Election Day, I guess because that would have clashed with a narrative that was all about how terrible the Democrats are and how Hillary would still lose to DOnald today. I have a lot of issues with the Democratic Party and I do agree with Joe Biden to a point about middle-class issues (while there still is a middle class...), but the Russia controversies will take a lot of coverage whether Democrats talk about it or not. It's a serious issue, and I think many are speaking from a place of naivete as they still think Russia is on our side or is unfairly maligned. My main complaint is that I don't really believe any of these investigations will go anywhere, so I do wish we had more plans and more of a contrast, but many of those who are unhappy with the Russia focus aren't coming up with any better ideas. A lot of these special elections we just weren't going to win. The DNC likely wouldn't even have gotten involved if not for pressure, and I think in some cases they should have stuck to their guns. The heavy focus on these burns people out fast and crushes their spirit.- Coronation Street: Discussion Thread
I don't mind Chesney. He's harmless and kind of cute. I enjoy his scenes with Gemma. I didn't mind Andy either. Oates focuses on the wrong characters. Kill off Michelle or Fiz.- The Politics Thread
I have to shake my head when I see tweets like "All our hope is in Germany's hands." Germany isn't going to be there for us. And not for the Western world either. They are going to look out for themselves (as the US has done) and we aren't going to be able to go along for the ride. We have to sort out our own problems, and after Merkel was burned so bad over the refugees, so will most of those who are struggling outside her borders. It's odd to me how someone is always looking for a hero or a new idol in politics when it always has the same disillusioned, unhappy ending. - The Politics Thread
