Dear God... why does nearly everyone I like turn out to be such ignorant assholes? I really hate politics sometimes. Everyone is really showing their ass since the whole Charlie Kirk incident went down.

This episode sucked royally. I don't even know if I should even watch tomorrow's episode; I'm thinking of skipping it especially since I got some stuff to do tomorrow.

Lovely; I was watching today's episode and it just got interrupted by a stupid special news report about Charlie Kirk right as I was watching a Ted/Leslie scene. Ugh, hopefully it doesn't last for the whole episode.

Yeah, what happened here does not put Smitty in a good light here at all, unless this is a way for the writers to gradually have Martin and Smitty drift even further apart as Smitty struggles to forgive Martin and then eventually he's going to decide that he can't be married to Martin anymore and he's going to divorce him. Maybe this might also include Smitty eventually developing feelings for another man and this might result in him having a sexual encounter with him where Martin catches them together and is so devastated and hurt that he finally decides to end it with Smitty for good.

I'm calling it now: this is going to serve as a major turning point that is going to get us one step closer to an eventual full on civil war between the right and the left. There is no way that the Republicans aren't going to be out for blood and want some kind of revenge for what happened to Charlie Kirk. I definitely see a lot more similar incidents like this happening a lot more often in the near future, regardless of whether or not they prove fatal.

Yeah, this is why I've decided to largely stay away from politics and not discuss it with anybody, not even my own family and friends. Because what's the point? They're just going to believe whatever they believe no matter what. And I also decided that I'm going to try to enjoy life as much as I possibly can until I can't anymore, (either my family becomes completely bankrupt as a result of the Big Beautiful Bill and we lose everything and have to live out in the streets, or the government comes barging through my home and drags me away into a black van and whisks me somewhere where no one will ever see or hear from me ever again).

I don't understand why Smitty agreed to sleep with Martin in the first place if he was going to reject him right after. He would've been better off saying no. And I still think they need to divorce and date other people for a while.

Ooh, a bad boy. He seems to be the complete opposite of Jacob. This should be good.

I hope you're right. I mean, I kind of get it to some degree, but it's getting old.

I guess she is because otherwise there is no explanation for why the writing for her has suddenly turned on a dime and she just comes out stupid and deluded. I'm really disappointed because I was starting to like her too.

I really hope the writers are not going to do what I think they might be doing when it comes to Vernon and Anita. They better not make Vernon Leslie's dad. I wonder if Jacob is going to start wanting kids and Naomi doesn't and that is going to be the major source of their conflict. Is Doug going to die? Because it sounds like it. Although I'm not sure why Ashley and Vanessa are mentioned in the same sentence? Maybe Joey is going to turn out to be her dad after all.

I find it odd and random that Javi just happened to mention he had a kid that died unless that was supposed to be some sort of foreshadowing of Tesoro's ultimate fate.

Well there's Sami, and also Theresa is also still relative young and she's already a grandmother with her teen son now a father. I can't think up of anyone else on Days off the top of my head at the moment.

How long do you think it's going to be before he's eventually written out, if that even happehs? Because as far as I can tell the show seems to enjoy having him around right now and he has a good camaraderie with his co-stars.

I feel the same way. I mean, I like the actor, and he seems to be a nice guy from what I can tell on his Instagram, but he isn't exactly how I would have envisioned Ted as a character. He just isn't clicking, especially with Nicole. If the writers' ultimate endgame plan is to reunite Ted and Nicole at some point, then we have a major problem. I definitely believe at some point that the writers are going to realize that there is nowhere else for Ted to go and he ends up dying a pretty horrific death, possibly of Leslie's making. Maybe Leslie causes an incident or some kind of accident that results in Ted being a major casualty or something.

I won't be surprised if that happens at some point. I really don't think we've heard the last of Kenny and his ilk. Also I can't help but think at some point the writers might end up using June as a vehicle to eventually usher Samantha and Tyrell off the canvas when they get bored and tired of writing for them and they need a way to get rid of them.

Honestly, if any of Michael's kids have to be killed off, I pick Daisy. They can pull an O.G. Wiley and have Daisy die of SIDS somehow. I know it would be horrible for Sasha to lose yet another child but she really didn't need a baby with Michael, especially if they were going to get rid of her right after anyway. Two kids is enough for Michael. And Sasha can always have another kid later, or I don't know... maybe they shouldn't have killed off baby Liam and had Sasha and Brando have a HEA with their son when they had the chance.

I have a friend who's visiting from Peru for two weeks and she and her mom were considering flying to Washington, D.C. to visit a friend of theirs. I'm glad they didn't ultimately go through with that plan, considering what's currently unfolding at this point.

I thought that maybe Leslie's dad might've been Dante Green too, but since Peaches mentioned that Barbara got pregnant after she was booted off the Articulettes, it doesn't seem likely. And I'm not exactly sure how this other scenario involving Vernon as the other possible father of Leslie works either. I could be wrong but I was under the impression that the other Articulettes didn't exactly maintain contact with Barbara after she left the group. How would Vernon and Barbara even know each other and maintain a romantic relationship long enough to even conceive Leslie?

So are the writers about to have Leslie turn out to be Barbara's long lost daughter or something? That would be a hell of a twist if that ended up being the case. I mean, if Leslie's sticking around long term, they might as well give her some tie to the canvas. Otherwise, I don't see the point of this whole inheritance story and the sudden appearance of her adoptive mother.

Oddly enough I can definitely see Willow becoming a tradwife social media influencer. That could be very interesting if done right.

If that's the case, then I won't be surprised if the writers end up phasing out Hayley altogether as a character. I mean, what's even the point of this character? She's just there. She could've been an interesting vixen type character, but she's just boring and dull. I don't even want Bill and Dani back together especially since Bill treated Dani horribly during their marriage, but it's pretty clear that there's still an emotional connection between them. Another reason why the whole Dani/Andre story is moot because what's the point of investing in them if they're not even going to last? After yesterday I'm also convinced that Andre/Ashley are endgame, which is just as well. Also I've been thinking what is even the point of Andre as a character? I mean, why is he even there? Did Ted even need a nephew at this juncture?

1987?! I clocked her as way older than that! What the hell?! I thought she was at least in her mid to late 40s, maybe early 50s at max. I thought she was supposed to be in the same age group as Dani and Nicole.

I think one of the twins is definitely named Deanna; Vanessa's mentioned her name a couple of times. The twins are a boy and a girl. The boy's name has never been mentioned that I know of.

Sounds like it's a temporary break and not permanent. I actually like Joey and we need more villains to stir the pot other than Leslie. In fact I think this show could use more antagonists.
