Heh-LLOOOOOOOOO. A third look-alike? That journey out of the Black Lodge was never going to be easy. Cooper in that casino was amusing and at the same time harrowing. I laughed a lot at the Lucy/Andy/Hawk scene. And what fun to see Gordon and Albert. For a second I thought Cooper would be trapped in the Black Lodge for episodes on end but I'm glad he's out and returning, although it (probably) isn't over yet. I wonder if the show will return to some of the more traditional Twin Peaks once Cooper makes his way back to town. Now let's see how long I can hold off before episode 4.

Wow. I've only done the first two episodes so far. I'll try to hold off on the other two. At the same time, it's familiar, and yet so very different. Already two episodes in, some pieces are starting to fit together. I am really loving the evil doppelganger storyline. That song at the end of episode 2 was so beautiful and fit in so well. I nearly cried when Shelly said, "James has always been cool." What an unexpected scene to end on.

And for this beautiful but oh-so-hot Friday, May 19, 2017, some blonde jock hotness!

On this hot Thursday, May 18, 2017, some grabby hotness!

Dammit. I need to finally watch the show. That would probably be the smart way to go. Either before the first episode or the week before, do a retrospective that (re)introduces the original show and then (hopefully) take off with the revival.

This is exactly what I expected. Sadly. If you considered the people behind it, and the network it was developed for, how could it ever be anything else? But the one thing that surprised me is this interpretation of Cristal, which is all sorts of wrong. No, Cristal should NEVER be a golddigger, even just a possible one. The whole POINT is that she was a kind, smart, tough, honest woman who genuinely loved Blake and couldn't care less about money. Here, she's a vapid 20-something, who CATFIGHTS WITH HER FUTURE STEPDAUGHTER ON THE VERY FIRST EPISODE. Ugh. I HATE that her introduction to Steven and Fallon is while being pinned down by Blake, fυcked on top of a desk, just so there can be a lame double entendre joke. But nobody knows how to write a character like Krystle anymore. DYNASTY itself didn't, after the first two seasons. I will say this, however: The actress seemed decent enough, as decent as you can come off on a trailer. As expected, the guy playing Steven comes off much better on screen than some of his pics, and the stuff with Sammy Jo, cliche and obvious, was kinda hot. It'll be trash. I'll be watching.

CRINGE. Like, not one person in the audience got any of it. Not ONE. Also, I wish people would stop saying "Sex IN the city" (he may have said 'and' but it sounded a lot like 'in' and reminded me of that pet peeve).

The entire catfight scene:

And for this HOT Wednesday, May 17, 2017, some bearded hotness!

THE FIRST TRAILER IS HERE!!! They've also expanded it from 13 to 15 episodes for the first season. The FX look great. I hope the writing is great as well.

For this sunny Tuesday, May 16, 2017, some casually-revealing-my-abs-and-tit hotness....

It's Monday, May 15, 2017... Happy Monday, everyone! Rise n Grind, as they say!

They're moving it to Thursdays at 9. What do you think? A good risk or a disaster waiting to happen? I would HATE for them to get f*cked because they moved a hit show to a different day/timeslot.

On this sunny Sunday, May 14, 2017, some bespectacled hotness & wishing a Happy Mother's Day to all mommies out there! ❤️

J'ADORE! One of my fave pop songs of all time! ❤️

It's rainy this Saturday, May 13, 2017, but this hotness has some mirror selfies to take....

Yeah, I think John was the one who reacted most appropriately. I wonder if Marland was trying to temper the reactions just a little bit because he was planning to have James stick around and was afraid going too hard on James and reminding viewers of his acts too explicitly would make him too much of a villain to keep around. He definitely didn't hide anything but hey, if the residents of Oakdale are taking a wait-and-see attitude, supposedly so would the viewers. I don't necessarily mind it but James should be getting punched/slapped/yelled at at every turn. IA. He's clearly a master at this. I have complained about his pacing before -- the show is almost breakneck speed. Just thinking about it, in less than a year, he hasn't had one or even two major umbrella stories... but THREE (Douglas, Tad Channing, now James). Each ONE of those stories would have been a 2 YEAR story on Y&R lol. And, yet, Marland's way into the third one with weeks to spare. It's a little insane. He'd be exactly like today's soaps in terms of pacing and galloping through story -- if he wasn't such a brilliant writer. But he goes through all the beats; he has a great instinct on how to build on the stories. And despite the pace, he knows how to make you wait for something (I am shocked the Lily secret hasn't come out yet!). You are right -- the viewer (including me) trusts him. NO viewer would trust any of the current headwriters.

For this sunny yet cold Friday, May 12, 2017, some beefy bearded hotness... yas!

You're welcome. I was very excited when I saw the email advertising it. I'm glad they did it -- you can't beat the quick upload and quality, although it seems like each episode expires after 5 days or so...

The show is finally on Britbox, after popular demand! Yay!

For this Thursday, May 11, 2017, more mirror selfie hotness... some good lighting on this one! Nice one, Slick! Always say it aloud!

Well, at the very least it'll be interesting to see how this goes.....

On this muggy Monday, May 08, 2017, show us them abs!

On Sunday, May 07, 2017, while I battle this cold, some end-of-weekend hotness!
