I don't think Amanda and Jane were super tight in S7, but I haven't seen much of it since first airing. What I remember is Amanda still treating her the same way and Jane being more charitable and graceful about it because she worked for Amanda at that point. Also, in fairness, Amanda had lost a lot of actual friends or what Amanda would consider friends. Beggars couldn't be choosers at that point. I do think the cast was largely friends in the first several years. It wasn't until the latter half of Season 4 that they all began to really drift for me. Any excuse to bring some of them back together, particularly in Season 5, was exciting, like Alison's all too brief return to the corporate world from her Jake bubble.

I think he's just that willfully dense. That grinning idiot has forever been insisting Fox is a legit media outlet that lost its way in the last ten years.

In the immortal words of Veronica Sawyer, "lick it up, baby! Lick. It. Up!" Their disappointment is my boon. Forever blinkered and missing the point, Brian Stelter then hosted a CNN segment featuring 'voices of the new progressive movement' as embodied by, I shít you not, Briahna Joy Gray and the antigay, anti-abortion Elizabeth Bruenig. Another reason I cannot tolerate him.

It's a horrible situation there. I had no idea how bad til now. Meanwhile:

I didn't know for a long time that they brought in a KL dude for S7. That makes sense, because the season really did have a unifying story, something I don't remember primetime soaps having past the '80s (I know they did one on Dynasty near the end as well). I've been saying it since I was a teen, but MP should not have been cancelled that year given the atrocious state of 90210 at the time. 90210 should've gotten the hook instead. I will echo the above mostly, though my more substantive thoughts on S4 and 5 are somewhere else in the thread. I think S5 has a lot of interesting experiments as well as a lot of pure failures.

Yeah, Manchin is just posturing trying to get more position for himself and play to his base. It's not going anywhere.

Uh-oh!

More on the Gang Who Couldn't Shoot Straight:

In addition to that history, Biden also has less onus on him as he is, let's face it, white. An old white man can get away with power moves against the GOP that the first Black president struggling not to be pigeonholed as the angry Black man could not.

Tragic.

Finally getting to Ep 3 (and 4). Their parodying the old soap trick of hiding people's pregnancies behind jackets, bags, etc. is a hoot. Teyonah Parris is great as Monica a.k.a. "Geraldine".

Like most of us, I have many issues with Tyler Perry but the fact that he made a point to pad her paychecks on his films (after discovering how little she got paid in the '70s) and named one of his soundstages after her while she was alive - a gesture she apparently was very moved by - softens me slightly.

Can someone pass me the current Y&R vault link in PM? Mine isn't working atm. Much appreciated.
