Oh how the turntables, etc.

The writer here wrote for Star, on FOX.

If I do find the pilot, I'll talk about it.

The entire report was about what I expected.

I don't watch random clickbait videos. But based on its title, It's also wrong. He's credited this week.

No, thank you.

Stay through the credits this week again. An incredible episode, with some deep cuts and largely visual/thematic ties to the controversial but gripping and very influential John Byrne Avengers West Coast run - Unlike Byrne though, who ultimately destroyed the couple and their family while pursuing an editorially-aborted remake of his Dark Phoenix/Days of Future Past storylines from X-Men with Wanda in the key role, I don't think this story will be doing that. I had a feeling this would be coming, but the fateful silhouette Wanda saw in the light during her Infinity Gem encounter - complete with the famous horned cowl we saw hinted at two weeks ago - and the ending line made me gasp nonetheless. Elizabeth Olsen's place in the Marvel canon in recent years has often overshadowed the beginning of her career as a very powerful dramatic actress. Her work in Sean Durkin's Martha Marcy May Marlene is incredibly good and made her an in-demand young star. This episode should hopefully educate more people. Kathryn Hahn is equally great and always has been.

I could swear some clips of the DJ crib death story used to be online.

Apologies if this has been posted:

He died of crib death/SIDS a few months later. Famous story.

Some new footage here.

We are a long way from finishing the fight to kill the filibuster if it happens, and the minimum wage push will continue (though we'll need to pressure Manchin and Sinema more in order to pass it one way or the other). But Beltway press are pretty desperate to manufacture drama within the Dems and the WH now because they don't like seeing the GOP on the back foot. They're not used to it, it's not where they live when they rush around getting hot tips from Mitch McConnell in the halls of the Capitol, and it makes them insecure. There's also the whole Tanden/Seung Min Kim debacle as @DRW50 alluded to above. Online harassment of Kim is unconscionable and unacceptable no matter who's doing it. And Tanden has lived Very Online and should account for some of that. That being said, a lot of reporters, not just Kim, pushed to drum up discontent in that process (digging up years old tweets) and churn the waters in part due to their resentment at Tanden being critical of the Capitol Hill press, and it has been evident in how they've handled the story today. It's not dissimilar to how if you read Maggie Haberman's feed, as a NY press flack, you'd think absolutely everyone on Earth is obsessed with de Blasio and Cuomo. I am an ex-NYer but I do not give two [!@#$%^&*] about Andrew Cuomo. Politico has seemed especially trashy and desperate since a lot of their people (Jake Sherman, Bresnahan, etc.) left to create the equally gossipy Punchbowl - after that came the new mission statement about 'making mischief' right on the heels of the Capitol siege. Here, their Republican roots are showing even more. This is just not in touch with actual reality and sentiment in the eyes of the public, it's Beltway GOP-loving fanfiction. And it doesn't connect with voters or show in polling.

I thought it was fine and necessary bringing back Dixie and Stuart. I wish they'd gone there with Leo too but apparently rewrites/reshoots cut that and possibly Babe and even Gillian. As for Cady, that tweet is misleading. She does a few days on the phone next month, but according to Carlivati they don't know if Jennifer will return played by Cady or Missy someday.

Cracks in Chuck's facade after weeks/months of full force criticism on social media.

Projects in the works don't always happen.

Did not know the show invoked the great Dimitri Marick this month. Can anyone tell me what's up with that?

Yes, Eden should absolutely appear.

Exactly. You can bank that she is back if this show happens. And you can bank that they will do a PR blitz with her and Susan making nice. I have always appreciated Sarah's steadfast and vocal support of the soaps and AMC, but she has owed Susan an apology for those shenanigans for a long time.

Maxie is visibly tired and has been ruined as a character. Kirsten Storms and Maxie should've been rested a number of years ago. Now she has what, three kids?? She shouldn't even have one.

Since the 90s, Kristian has projected what she appears to be in real life - as @DRW50 once said, a tough customer, no bullshīt. She found her niche in that famous guest role on Melrose Place as Lauren the hardboiled madam, and when she returned to DAYS she was sophisticated, cool and had an edge. When they make her play stupid or the loving earth mother it doesn't work, which is why they kept going back to the Princess Gina well, John, etc. That is Kristian's actual wheelhouse as a grown woman, and that is part of why (like Eileen Davidson on Y&R) it is so hard to find a man who can match her strength and energy.

I remember right before Sheffer got dumped, when they first went there with Belle really being hot and horny for JKJ's returned Phillip. They had also brought back Bjorlin as Chloe as a much more adult, sophisticated and scheming character and were clearly testing her off of Beemer. Both couples worked, however fundamentally mediocre Madison and Beemer were. Then they dropped it all. All of the characters have been rode so hard since (especially Chloe) that I don't know how you start from zero. But I would still recast Belle and fundamentally rework her, if it were up to me. I remember when they got Jason Cook back briefly in the anniversary year - he was really good as an older Shawn. tbh I think you could get him now. While Beemer does a better job than Madison, I'd aim for Cook.
