Big day for TV! Collider and EW report Andrew Lincoln has quit and will only be in six episodes next season. AMC is prevailing upon Norman Reedus to take the lead. I like him but good luck. Roll it up, folks. -
Wow. I'm surprised and pleased by ABC's admirable resolve in the face of ratings (which, despite falling, were still pretty solid). I hadn't had much time to reflect this morning on what Roseanne did beyond utter disgust. I got busy and turned away from the news, but all I had time to think was "how can I possibly continue to support this?" And obviously I wasn't the only one. It's clear most of the cast and crew were far more furious. I feel awful for Sara Gilbert especially, for whom the revival was a personal and professional triumph. She and everyone else worked so hard and they took it from every side in the media while trying to manage Roseanne. I haven't finished the season (and I do intend to), but I was mostly pleased with what I saw. I thought there was a lot of good there. But now far more than ever before, Roseanne is her own worst enemy. I admit I thought she was getting better; I was wrong. She's probably alienated a lot of this cast - people who stuck by her for years through impossible behavior - for a good long time. I hope that gives her some pause. I'd like to think so. But she bought and paid for this. It's a shame, but it was absolutely necessary.

That is reprehensible.

I'm pretty much out (I may catch up on Netflix someday if things turn around), but Lauren Cohan (Maggie) has confirmed she'll be in six of the eight episodes in the first half of next season despite her TV pilot getting picked up. Meanwhile, ex-TWDers Chandler Riggs (Carl) and Chad Coleman (Tyreese, but to me he'll always be Cutty from The Wire) take each other on in a rap battle on TBS' Drop the Mic. It's in good fun yet still cringeworthy.

Sorry, didn't even remember it. It's been a long month.

Will he take his clothes off, though? Because he seems to do that all the time since leaving Y&R. Meanwhile, here's a glimpse of Laura Harrier in BlacKkKlansman:
We're extremely lucky this administration is as incompetent as it is insane. If this was a team on par with the Rove/Cheney/etc. crew in its prime and we still didn't have social media, it'd be far worse. As for Wallace, Joe Scarborough and Mika, I haven't forgotten anything they've done. But in desperate times I feel you go with the enemy of your enemy when they still show some basic principles. Wallace in particular had the common sense to deeply regret her work with Palin even before the 2008 campaign ended. (IIRC she didn't vote.)
Laura Allen (Laura Kirk #2, AMC) plays the young incarnation of Laura Dern's mother in the drama The Tale, on HBO this weekend. (Ellen Burstyn plays the present-day role.)
I think what Ronan Farrow is doing as a journalist is wonderful, but to be quite honest my take on the Woody Allen case has always leaned towards doubt - even after Dylan Farrow spoke up. Woody Allen is no saint, but there were a lot of skeletons, even 25 years ago. The above account is horrifying and reconfirms a lot of what I have heard about Mia's troubled home life over the years. It's very sad. What makes me especially upset is that I feel our current instant outrage culture has zero room for nuance - people will not know how to process Ronan's good works and the need to listen to women vs. the possibility that the case that is the cornerstone of his personal life is potentially a fraud. These two facts existing at once is simply not something Internet thinkpiece culture is willing to comprehend.
Not exactly news, but shocking for him to say it openly to a journalist - I hesitate to link to anything from the Intercept, but this is just someone sharing Stahl's story:
...Okay, I can't let this go. Millie Bobby Brown (who isn't in this) has some very sketchy stage parents, but how the heck have the other Stranger Things kids been exploited?? They're fine!
