The day never ends:

Chrysta Bell's full Reddit AMA. Worth a read. Also, her posts about Miguel Ferrer: How Working With Miguel Ferrer Made Me A Better Actor

But wait - there's more.

Bye bye:

Topical:

This is how she treated a very mild commentary from Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo:

Eamon Farren (Richard Horne) is in some former colleagues of mine's new 19th century horror film Mohawk.

She's done some good work, but she's also completely amoral about keeping her access. I think she still mostly knows they're all crooks and awful on some level, but her access depends on placating them and defending their stories. She will push any PR line, like this claim that Hicks always meant to leave (after five months) to keep her conduit to the WH and then, like all key staff at the Times, Haberman will passive-aggressively attack any critics. She also was very upset about Wolff because let's face it - he scooped her and her upcoming book on Trump. IMO her relationship with Trump and his administration is now partly Stockholm Syndrome - she has gone partially native. She sympathizes with too many of them. She still gets roasted during her passionate defenses over her stories, so that's good. IIRC her father is old school NY journalism and she used to work for one of the gossip rags, she got grandfathered in. Because of her family I think she is entirely too close to the city's society set and therefore Trump to have enough objectivity and awareness of how glib she really comes off.

Gags aside, actual news:

Per the above NBC bombshell:

Somehow not surprising news. I wonder how much of his vision for the show (Vicky, Steve, etc.) will remain - it's deja vu, him getting ousted again just as on the original FH.

The strategy was tone deaf even then, but it was also in October. Dredging it up now seems pointless to me. But if you liked that, you'll love this. Click through to the full thread:

I don't watch it, but I have been apprised that it appears so.

In case it's not been mentioned: John Wesley Shipp (ATWT, OLTL) is playing Jay Garrick, the Golden Age Flash, on CW's The Flash - he was, of course, the original Flash in the 90s show on CBS. (His youthful imposter was played by OLTL's Teddy Sears.)

Gemma Chan - from The Waters of Mars and much more since - will play a Kree villain in Captain Marvel.

I don't think these elections will be a cakewalk but Politico's bread and butter has always been gossip and concern trolling Democrats while leaning right. They evolved out of Mark Halperin's playbook at the Note.

God! Why am I not more surprised??

Chandler Riggs says he's okay. I'm glad for him but this season will probably be the end of the line for me, and I don't intend to watch it much til it hits Netflix. I think killing him off is pretty much the last straw for me, and I expect for a number of people as Lauren Cohan seems to be heading out.

Manafort's trying to hold out for a pardon, but this just turns the heat up. Even if he got it - which I highly doubt, Trump has no loyalty to anyone - NY would just file charges. There is one other reason my dumb ass forgot: The Russians will kill him.

#BoycottNRA is trending and many NRA partners (MetLife, etc.) are pulling out.
