I've been binge watching THE EXPANSE's Amazon seasons and have arrived at the last season. And now that I've there, I have no problem watching the trailers for the last season. And I thought I saw someone familiar, but I thought noooo couldn't be. But YES. I'm too much of an old school BEVERLY HILLS 90210 fan to not recognize Brandon's Steve's gal Clair (aka Kathleen Robertson) as the big bad's newest henchwoman.

Alrighty then...CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER!!! DISCUSS!!!

Oh, well...let's see where this story is going to go, shall we? DISCUSS!!!

I wouldn't mind that actually. I have found him over the years to be the writer most guilty of having episodes where it feels like characters take the whole episode (or 10) to spit out what they are trying to tell other characters. And not in a creative way either. Thank you for the info. I'll be looking forward to that episode when I start my catch-up...weather willing since there's been a big storm here.

WOOF!!!

But Messy Mia stays giving delusional housewife. And goodness knows someone has to be asking their castmates questions they won't take from other castmates.

And that would have been nice (like Taylor and Brooke were) but alas...

lol. It took me this long to get to THIS point. Great start though. 😜

I've been told you all, Messy Mia is THAT girl so...

Oooooo...interesting. I'm cleaning today so what's been binged... THE EXPANSE SEASON 5 (finally hehe) THE MAYFAIR WITCHES SEASON 1

God, I miss that show. And how to see they had a convention.

I'm hoping that it stays a rumor. Because I was already excited that they were going to throw them back in filming Season 7 and have their premiere in November/December very reminiscent of the days when RHOA and RHOBH would dominate during that time. I would say if true, that just shows they are jealous that RHOM is the IT girl they wish their other shows that used to be would still be. I don't get it.

RHOM Word on Mama Joyce's Streets are saying Bravo is AGAIN pulling a RHOM S3 on the RHOM cast. They have now pushed the filming back to the fall so basically waiting again for the next season. And there will be cast cuts. What's the phrase...oh, yeah...if it ain't broke, don't fix it. smh. Need to be fixing SLC and RHOA and not RHOM.

3-22 Well... Team Lucy. Even if it is putting her in BLQ's hands to get the company out of Tracy's hands, Lucy was doing nothing, but telling the truth. As a reality star once said...this is not American's Next Best Friend. Deception is a BUSINESS. And the person mostly responsible for that has always been Lucy so of course, she will be professionally over her own feelings. And the audience has been aware of how Lucy sees Sasha as a daughter at times so I'm sure it hurt (and LH showed it), BUT...BUSINESS. Awww at the Laura/Heather scenes this week. I love them tapping into that history...history that I didn't even know they had. That's how you mind history while going forward in another direction. And just when Jason Return storyline was basically C plot for the week, it gets the Friday cliffhanger. And Diane with the phone call and not being surprised when Jason got ahold of her...PRICELESS. And he could tell her everything about what's going on with John and she can't say a thing. So hopefully we are about to get some answers. I still feel it's a thin line between love and hate and Drew is going to wind up bedding Nina in a fit of hate sex. But...we'll see. I thought it was a good week and it feels like the rhythm has been found. Can't wait until next week. I love me some scoundrel Scotty, too. I agree. It would be nice to have seen Laura trying to pick up the pieces. But alas. It's like Carly over this past year or so since the end of Nixon Falls and her marriage to Sonny. Outside of the Florida remote and her relationship with Drew, it was nice to see her pick up the pieces after losing everything to Nina and growing...not only into herself, but into taking up the name Spencer. I actually found that resonating though mind you I am not a fan of Carly's. Exactly!

3-20 I don't feel like anything happened this week, but I really enjoyed watching. Perhaps it's because everyone was at work. Kinda working (at least in Steffy's case), but it just made me think Bell soap. And everyone was really looking good this week (nice to see the black Thomas shirt with the bucket again) and again that made me think Bell soap. And oh, look...Carter has a beard with his foine self...WOOF. That said...I've been looking forward to this. Steffy v Hope. Not because they haven't before because they have. But THIS time...Hope is totally different. She's been just as feisty as Steffy tends to be since she's gotten with Thomas. And watching Steffy read her, I expected Hope to slap her tbh. And look at the teaser that was at the end of this week's episode. lol. Called it. Also said...Steffy should but out. Cuz THIS Hope might start to read her back. lol. There was more of Bill with Luca this week. I mean...assuming it's him and not a red herring, it would be interesting to see Bill with a daughter since outside of Caroline, he has been all boys. And it looks like Finn's vision was C plot this week.

Good for Jason!!! He was wasted.

3-20 Thank you @Soapsuds for the heads-up. As much as I've liked Claire's arc, yeeeeah they just don't do standalone well on this show most often than not. I even took in a peek and NO. Good to see next week will be more of my cup of tea. But this week? I don't know whether to call it a dumpster fire or just a mess. I guess the biggest stories this week was the Jordan storyline and the Ashley story. I enjoyed Nikki, Victoria, and Claire vs Jordan. Some of the direction in the scenes was quite good. I liked how HK and MTS played it. But Jordan choosing death over prison...uhhhhh? Seems like a waste when this show could use a schemer who comes in and out and can go toe to toe with Victor. And Ashley's story. I like we are getting to the point where the other Abbotts are finally noticing that something is off with her. Kyle. Billy. The Shirley Temple. lol. So now Ashley has a kid persona. And a new one coming, too. I still can't believe this is over an argument in Paris, but at least the story is moving. So what are Chance and Nate up to with Devon vs Billy? God to see per the next week promo that the only other story that I like is not over yet.

OH...??

I agree. And that goes back to what I said a few (okay, looks like a lot) of pages back. What I liked was that the new teens/tweens before the official new writing team came on board, they were being shown gradually...which is the way to introduce them again. Especially since they have been very scattershoted in showing them over the last few years. Like Rocco who I had completely forgot back. It was clear the writers wanted us to get used to seeing them again. Nothing heavy. Just a sense of all of their characteristics/personalities. Which I liked. Just brief/silly scenes. And then from there, the writers could throw them into either stories for their characters or something heavier. But yeah going through the new week so far, they might be playing them TOO heavy because they are not ready. Yet. And that is the wrong way to go...though I at least understand having Danny and Jake with the major stories. I actually wonder about this re: Eden. To be honest. Why? Because I don't think the writing for Joss changed when the temp recast was airing, but I did not find that actress at all annoying. Maybe once. And I believe the temp recast aired fairly often. And as soon as Eden got back, she became annoying two episodes in. So is it JUST the writing or how the actresses chose to play what was written? Yeah, Tabyana ain't green. If anything she's been shown infrequently within her own story so she is probably having a hard time centering it in the overall picture of what's going on in the show.

Actually I agree with @Cat. I thought seeing the general concensus I would feel meh. BUT I thought it was just...ok. Definitely one of their weaker reunion teasers if not the weakest. But there was some interesting things. Though for me, the REAL story is MESSY MIA. Oh, lord...not Gordon saying hi to the new man. And the new man might be her son's father??????????? WHATTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! And then Robyn Juan's Roommate wants to start mess with Candiace. Well...I guess she gets what she has coming.

Hmmmm perhaps. I mean if I think about it...I guess my interest in those scenes character-wise would be Stella > Curtis > Marshall. And that's probably on the strength of Vernee Johnson. Which means that I finally grown used to having Stella around. Curtis used to be written well for me, but I think outside of things with Ms. Wu, I've gotten over him since the Febuary Sweeps Portia wedding where Taggert was thrown under the bus. So perhaps it's just a disconnect for me I didn't realize I had.

3-20 Well, I think I'm starting to get the rhythm of the writers. It was funny thinking be careful what you wish for. We now have people actually talking again to each other. And their talking is revealing character and/or backstory. It does worry me what people who have gotten so used to action, action, silly moment, action might be feeling, but good for me. I liked this week so far they touched on the 'Liz' of it all with Jason. Even if it's a little bit. But I've always said I was a Liason fan so and yes, John was wrong for going to Danny, but it led to that great BLQ scene. And now he feels guilty? smh. I'm hoping it's a setup for Anna to get the goods on him. Given how close Anna and Sonny have gotten over the last years (and I was hoping before the writing change for a Anna/Valentin/Nina/Sonny thing), I just don't see her rolling over and disliking him now. Must be a trick. Oh, lord, it's one of Bebe's Maxie's child!!! But it did lead to a good Tracy scene so I'll allow it. lol. Hahah. But...I admit I actually felt sad for Dex. Not so much the breakup with Joss though. I'm not her biggest hater, but I loved Nina wiping the smirk right off her face by throwing the almost murder of Cyrus by Dex in Joss's face. Go, Alexis, go!!!! Get your license back!!! I have mixed feelings about the Curtis's Dad reveal. On one hand, happy to see social stories again. And I'm curious to see if it's is done done now, or if it lead to another story. But those scenes felt...off. And I cannot put my finger on it. Glad to have them, but off. I am really surprised that the new writers have slowed down enough to let the Jason Returns story breath. I do hope we are heading to another Friday cliffhanger. Same.

VERY.

WOOF!!!

Just taking a moment to say...love the new avatar @NothinButAttitude. On the bright side, happy no one was hurt and unless she bows out, La Dame WILL be back next season.
