Hmmmm...I would say spoiler-ish in terms of some plot directions, but not too much given an article I read pre-workout.

EW was doing a whole how a city makes a show angle with the new HBO shows (Looking=San Fran, Girls=NY, Togetherness=LA) that I found interesting in terms of setting being a character itself and yet the shows have to be for everyone kinda thing.

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.

But that's just it...Patrick really isn't that much better or likeable. He tries to come across as this innocent nice guy but he basically cheated on Richie with Kevin with very little resistance. He constantly was judging Richie from the beginning and yet pretending to the guy and everyone else that he didn't care that Richie cut hair. Either you're fine with it or you're not. Patrick also said a lot of not so subtle digs at other random/minor characters (including the fiance of his ex boyfriend in the first episode).

In short I think Patrick desperately needs Augustin because without Aug, his nasty behavior and personality would be much more noticeable. They're very much similar...it's just that Augustin doesn't bother to hide his douchebag self....

I saw this in one of my groups last night. N

Now that I read....well...I'm guilty of most of that now. :)

But I am a one person guy. Sorry. Just don't like to share...nor do I feel the need to. But...to each their own as long as it harms none...which I find some people do not know how to do. *side-eye*

    • In the interview posted on knotslanding.net, William Devane described the Greg/Paige storyline as "juvenile".  From that interview I also got the impression that William Devane was on his way out near the end so he wouldn't have returned if there was a season 15.
    • Just started this show. I’m on episode 3. I’m starting to make the connections and understand the family tree better. Still will take time to fully understand everything but it’s exciting. So glad we have a new soap opera in 2025! Excited to join the discussion once I’m caught up.
    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.  
    • I was fine with Greg and Paige as a couple (ick factors and all, lol).  What I didn't like was how juvenile their push-and-pull was, with Greg alienating her repeatedly and arbitrarily, and Paige leaving him and/or The Sumner Group in a huff, only to come back together, like, thirty minutes later, lol. I get that Greg was not someone who enjoyed sharing his feelings with others, but c'mon.  He was a little too old for all that on-again/off-again [!@#$%^&*]; and so was Paige, and so were we. Mary Robeson wasn't her aunt, though.  Thanks to WBTV's Primetime Soaps app, I was able to rewatch all of S14, and I learned, in fact, Mary was her aunt - which I guess made Joe her uncle? Truly, I thank the streaming gods for being able to rewatch the final season, because, for the past 30+ years, I never was able to understand how Mary and Joe, Nick and Vanessa, Val's disappearance and Treadwell (and Abby) all fit together; and even now, it still seems a trifle sketchy to me.  (The shortened season and reduced budget wreaked some havoc on the storytelling, did it not, lol?)  But I do appreciate the attempt, because it's probably the first time since Val's pregnancy that the show even attempted to tie the cast together under the same story umbrella. And even if she was trepidatious (sp?) about raising Meg alone, she wasn't the type to express those feelings outwardly.  Laura wasn't going to fidget and cry like Val, or shout wild-eyedly at others like Karen.
    • Oh Lord! They don't dare put her near Jacob. 
    • And knowing Hayley she’d somehow feel like she was the victim

    • So not only did Hayley steal her daddy, but now you want Hayley to steal Naomi's husband? LOL.
    • Omg
