LOL I get this gag reflex thing when I think of him. Most of what they did with him in that first season left a very, VERY bad taste in my mouth and it sorta sickens me he's Patrick's best friend. He's vile. Nasty. BUT, this being said (I'm glad I got it off my chest), if they can change & repair him, I'm all for it. Although I don't see how that could be done without a major character rewrite.

It's so thrilling that the show is almost back!!! I'm dying to see what will happen with Patrick, Dom, Richie, Doris and Kevin, especially since Doris' story will be expanded. Agustin... not so much.

Yes, Taraji is the equivalent of Alexis! Cheap, you haven't watched EMPIRE yet? What???? Get your ass over to a TV or online ASAP and enjoy the splendor that is EMPIRE!!!

This is great! Trailer for Season 5, along with the last two episodes of Season 4, will be screened in IMAX from Jan. 23-29. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/01/06/business/game-of-thrones-takes-a-trailer-of-its-new-season-to-imax.html?_r=1&referrer=

No words!

I'm sorry, boo, but I cannot stand her!!! The only team this bitch is on is Team Crusty Dick.

I still can't get over Brandi's insane behavior during her heart-warming party and, later, at Lisa V's charity event. Something is seriously wrong with this trashy gutter whore. I just cannot with her. They awkward stares, the touching, the pinching, the pauses, the breaking of the branch, offering to eat Lisa's pussay. Lisa V's reaction was perfect and mirrored mine. That being said, the moment when Lisa told the rest of the women what Brandi offered was gold. GOLD. LOL at LisaLips & Eileen basically saying to Brandi's face that her explanation didn't make sense and they don't have the whole story. LisaLips continues to be thrillingly entertaining. Kim was so irrelevant in everything I couldn't figure out why she had a talking head. Like, who dis bitch? You can tell Eileen and Brandi ain't gonna work. Eileen is barely keeping it together as it is. And HELL NAW. Did I just see in the previews Brandi throwing a drink at Eileen's face as a joke? Bitch, DIE.

I got 1989 as a gift for Christmas and have not been able to stop listening to it, in its entirety, since. Such a fun, well-done, enjoyable, entertaining pop album. While I do feel that her lyrics aren't as complex or deep as they used to be, I understand why that would be--in all honesty, they wouldn't fit. I get giddy every time the song comes on the radio. I could (and do) listen to it all day.

Eeeeeeew at Jax f-cking some nameless whore in a bathroom in San Diego and then lying his ASS OFF to his supposed best friends. But so much yes to Tiffany basically telling him bye and hanging up on him. Y'all better leave Queen Stassi alone. "Goobye, Scheana's eyelashes. Goodbye, Scheana's turban. Goodbye, Scheana's unitards." :lol: Scheana can't even get enough people to show up at her wedding

Madonna's new album, Rebel Heart, out on March 20, 2015! The album cover is a lot of fun & I can't wait to listen to the songs that have been released on iTunes. She's certainly disappointed me with a few of her recent albums but I'm still hoping the next outing is good!

I am criminally behind (just finished the 1967 episodes...) but the scene where Nick tries to take an interest in Althea's personal life (besides their baby and wanting to get married) and almost managing to do it, before quickly returning and screaming "dammit, we GOTTA GET MARRIED!" is nothing short of brilliant. Funny and sad at the same time. Althea's reaction was so real--laughing from the shock, telling Nick he almost did it and she believed him, only to then crush him by saying it's not enough. Utterly fascinating.

Episode 3 Could Tom Schwartz be any gayer for Tom? The scene of them working out came off as if they were just having a chitchat before going off to f-uck each other I can't with Lisa's fabulousness. She has a swan? It was endearing to see her be so nervous over Pump's opening night. She may be Queen but she's also human! I agree with Cheap's earlier post that it's weird for Stassi to be on the show if she does not work at Sur. But, still, she's fantastic and I'm not going to question her presence too much. Stassi: "Every May, the flowers start blooming, the days get longer and Kristen gets suspended" lol Jax was, once again, an unbelievable mess. Forget the fact that he's seeing a therapist for the purpose of announcing that he still has something for Stassi, but then not to understand why there would be hatred and a grudge? Clueless! As what's her face put it, and very accurately I might say, "You wanna say hi to her after you fucked her best friend?" James showed up for work after being fired and was surprised when they asked him to leave? What the hell! He just finds new depths to sink to every week. However, I don't blame Lisa for agreeing to rethink his firing following the performance James gave during the letter scene. We all know it wasn't how it would have gone down in real life (probably) but James the actor showed up and Lisa played her reaction to that perfectly. Under that context, it makes sense. I still want him gone, though.

Thanks for the info! Messy roommates are the worst. Still, Tom doesn't exactly look like the type to focus a lot on a clean, orderly house lol

Just caught up with RHBH and was coming here to comment but I don't need to: Exactly my thoughts, complete co-sign. The Two Lisas were my favorite part, closely followed by Yolanda's story and Eileen's. You can really see how Eileen's comment about being like Kristen (without the evil psycho part) is true.

Yes, it was played with a complete absence of melodrama, he talked about it matter-of-factly, and it ended up being great. It doesn't hurt that it was a scene with Susan, of course. Another really touching moment came when Josh was telling Doug that he wished he hadn't returned because he doesn't want his pop to remember him as being arrested. Donovan gave a heartbreaking reaction to Josh's words.

The first three seasons of FALCON CREST have been released. The first two as normal/wide release, the third as On Demand. FALCON CREST was extremely lucky to air following such a megahit as DALLAS. It's definitely a big part of why it went on despite its plunging writing. KNOTS wasn't anywhere near as flashy but it really did make it on its own merits (writing, acting, directing) and held on really, really well.

Yes, Season 8 is very peculiar--stilted, with episodes like this being the exception. Laura is Love. How could anyone not love her? LOL

The thing is, I actually agree with this. I think her involvement in the Olivia story, as well as Chip and "Will the Circle be Unbroken" were great Lilimae stories. But this season also spent a lot of time making Lilimae (and Val) into the village idiot, when it even bothered with her at all (she would disappear for whole episodes and come back for a scene or two maybe and then disappear again). The rest is just a matter of personal preference. I loved her interfering and annoying Val. It was a crucial part of their relationship and it was great to see them grow and mature from that. But I can also see how one would hate that lol

That happened in the previous episode. Wonderfully hilarious! You must really hate Lilimae if you think this season put her to good use!

And I can't argue with that!! Speaking of Abby and her role as a mother, I just watched the brilliant season 8 episode "Our Secret" (I never thought I'd use 'season 8' & 'brilliant' together), which features lovely scenes of Abby being a fun, relaxed mother with both Olivia and Brian. Of course, it's all laced with impending doom, as it all ends with Peter openly (but secretly) going after Olivia. It features one of my favorite Karen/Abby scenes up till this point, in which Karen masterfully uses her history with Diana to illustrate how Abby and Olivia's relationship could really go south if Abby underestimates Olivia's feelings. "Karen, you're right. And you are out of line!" Ben has a fabulous meltdown when he comes downstairs and sees that Lilimae never turned the alarm back on. It's tragic and he's so right. It also features the beautiful directorial work of none other than David Jacobs, who makes the ladies (especially Karen and Abby) look drop-dead gorgeous here and, most importantly, elevates the very basic Anne storyline to something resembling art with Anne's near-psychotic but visually stunning dreams/fantasies/visions of dancing with Mac. I was treating it with cynicism when the episode started but one has to wait until the end to see the whole picture. There's a breathtaking scene about halfway in: Paige is walking down an empty hospital corridor, her pumps making a lot of noise--even the manner in which she's walking is careful, deliberate. She grabs a single rose from the bouquet in her hand and drops the rest in the middle of the hallway. Later, Anne's reaction to Mac's card captured something really painful that the writing hadn't explored before. And that ending scene with the frenetic mixture of Mac/young Mac/Greg/young Anne and old Anne all dancing in Anne's vision, only to be followed by Paige walking away down that same corridor. As she turns around the corner, all we hear is her shoes as the credits come up. I am in awe. Only KNOTS LANDING could pull something like this. Stunning.

Episode 2: God, it was hard not to laugh at Scheana's bday being a total mess and her cutting her foot. Poor baby. BUT... "how much is this going to cost me? I am a f-cking waitress!" was hilarious. I LOVED Stassi! "A black rose? Black like my heart!" Yaaaas, hunni! Ew Tom's apartment was one nasty mess. I feel embarrassed just looking at it. Is he sure he was crying about the fight in the video and not the state of his home? Tom: Jax has not made a correct decision one time in his life. LOL Was Jax desperate to provide material for this episode? His sudden decision to dump Carmen didn't make any sense. It's bad enough that he took Carmen to this nasty hole in the wall to begin with but then, on top of that. to break up with her? Ugh. But at least the pizza looks good. (And you certainly can't expect class from him). Carmen READ Jax and I love it! Grow up, Jax you sexy dumb idiot. She was absolutely right. All hail the goddess Lisa! She was FANTASTIC in this episode. Bitch can headline not one but TWO shows and do it flawlessly. Lisa: "The gorgeous man is going to go down very well… Actually, let me rephrase that. No, I got it right the first time!" "You guys are going out and acting like trash, really!" PREACH it! And then she fired James. YAAAAAS.

I just watched the premiere. I love Jax & I don't care. He's a mess, dumb and more than just a jerk but I loves looking at him and he is entertaining me. He and Lisa are why I'm giving this a chance. I'm not getting Kristen. She doesn't make sense at all. Stassi--I like her. I thought her 'return' was perfectly handled. Lisa is Goddess. James pissed me the fυck off. What an annoying, insufferable assh0le. Tom and Arianna seem nice. In general, they're all so dumb I feel like my IQ went down just from watching. Of course, I'll watch more and see what happens lol

I've been on & off NEIGHBOURS the past few years but I'm checking out the October episodes and it's really, really good. I wish I had come back earlier. The article is right about the humor--it's little, silly scenes and stories, but they're often at least amusing if not downright funny. And the Chris/Josh, Nate (even though I am having some difficulty with the actor) and Paige storylines are fantastic. Can't say I am crazy for Amber & Daniel but they work for me too.
