Supposedly it was Christina Scott was going to hit, and Kin flatly refused. But there was so much fanfic horseshit floating around about casting the Collins/Baldwin kids and giving Lucy, etc. story back then from certain parties, I have no idea how much was real.

I do think Dennehy's Blake was very reminiscent of Glenn in Fatal Attraction from what I've seen, in terms of sleek style, mood, etc. She could be imperious, cold, very tough yet complex. I prefer SS but I found both far more interesting and formidable than Liz Keifer.

It's true!

Not my tweet, but still one of my favorite Lynch stories from the TP press tour in 2017:

Stop copying my posts from 15 years ago! But yes, oof, Keifer, no. I had a rant not long ago about how if GL was ever reinvented for digital (and it is a classy old property CBS All Access could leverage to their hausfrau base) I'd beg Sherry Stringfield to come back. Even Elizabeth Dennehy, who I only knew from Star Trek TNG, was more arch, cool and mysterious. Keifer is a soccer mom by comparison.

#LockHimUp is still trending, as are two other hashtags for dragging Mika and Joe. Also Nate Silver, for this:

Season 2 was a massive improvement.

Oh God.

That's fantastic.

I have my share of issues with AOC, but she crucified the Zuck today. The Office stare at the end of the second clip is gold. Meanwhile:

Finally caught up! Darlene's treatment of Harris and her stoner friend was again pure Roseanne - she parents like her mom more all the time. Loved David back at the family table. Johnny Galecki really does slot right back in. Louise still fits very well each week, and that's helped by continuing the constant recurring presence of side characters like Chuck, Bev, Crystal, etc. to fill out the familiar canvas. The original show lost sight of that later on but the revival never has. Loved Becky bantering with Dan and Louise, and her later heart to heart with Dan. Jackie continuing her relentless trolling of Darlene over the love triangle, laughing and driving away was brilliant. I also enjoy her continual lust for Ben. That therapy scene was unexpectedly deep, especially the flashback and when David said "I don't think you've heard me since I was fifteen." Sara Gilbert brought it as usual. I do hope Ben hangs around, but I'm torn on whether he should reunite with Darlene or get with Jackie tbqh.

Agreed. I do think a lot of centrist Dems are spooked by Warren and trying to manufacture a narrative in the press. But I don't think the real situation is as dire as they want to make people believe it will be unless we nominate someone less progressive. We can certainly differ on how viable she is or isn't, but I think the recent fishing articles are an attempt to slow her down coming both from that wing and even from the center-right Beltway media, and it won't work.

I will just say I've seen the opposite and leave it at that. The lynching comment was seen for what it was.

That is just not true. It was treated as a major bombshell all day. Meanwhile:

They weren't based on show ideas, AFAIK. But that unused cover suggests some might have been had they continued. All prior DS comics at Innovation had taken place during the first season; the one advertised there (and unprinted) was slated to take place after.

@DRW50 This is a fascinating tidbit about what may have pertained to Season 2 of the 1991 show. Context: Innovation Comics was a short-lived independent comics outfit during the early '90s comics boom. They briefly had the rights to Dark Shadows, Lost in Space, A Nightmare on Elm Street and other properties, and produced gorgeous books with beautiful painted art. The quality of the writing varied wildly, but the LIS series in particular had some great, mature stories for such a goofy property, including an extended storyline written by Bill Mumy. I read some of these books first as a kid and then a teenager. They can also be found to read online through 'alternative means.' The DS comics' rights very strictly pertained only to the 1991 series and were directly approved by Dan Curtis and co., though they were allowed to use Lara Parker's likeness for a new character in the first arc, in which Barnabas and Julia go to a town involved with the Salem witch trials. The DS comic ended abruptly with Innovation going bankrupt, amidst a new storyline focusing on ghosts and Sarah Collins, again with beautiful painted art. The article above suggests Innovation - which had direct access to Dan Curtis - knew of some of the aborted plans for DS Season 2, including possibly a return for Lysette Anthony as the brunette Angelique-as-Cassandra. (I'd heard in the past that Michael T. Weiss would return as the werewolf Chris Jennings, but Peter Bradford recurring makes more sense.)
