I just watched the episode almost entirely dedicated to Akecheta. What a MARVEL. I LOVE how they clearly were using Native American stereotypes in the park and this episode went out of its way to show you how wrong it all was. Beautiful.

While I liked it so much more this time around, other than the character development (and plot development with Maeve's abilities), Shogun World still felt like a distraction. A shorter one this time. lol.

 

It still amazes me how much Dolores is a great villain, but that could be down to how well ERW is in the role because I was into her self discovery in Season 1. And that felt more linear than how she is this season.

 

This is making me love Maeve even more. 

 

Still not liking how much of a major player Felix was last season and he's just a day player.

2.7

 

Oh my God, the layers.

 

How did I not see this the first time around? Now that scene a few episodes back between Dolores and Bernard makes sense. She and Ford created him.

 

Maeve's payback on the Man in Black was soooo much better the second time back. Shame it got interrupted.

 

And hmmm like I said the first time...Ford appearing just sets so much in motion...things falling into place...plans within plans...

 

ETA: Dolores vs Hale is still perfect. Still gives me chills and Tessa Thompson and Evan Rachel Wood have really great adversary chemistry.

I loved Shogun World!

 

I did, I'm officially caught up.

 

I'm finding it hard to decide where I stand with Season 3. The show changed SO much. I can roll with that. But, overall, I think it was a disappointment. It didn't quite click for me and I think a lot of climactic stuff was sort off a let down. Still, I'll be watching.

You all are making nervous.

 

I haven't started Season 3 yet except for the first few minutes and I liked it. But like I said earlier...perhaps I will feel different due to my writing leanings. Then again, I did not like Season 2 as much as Season 1 the first time around. The second time around...it holds up much, much better.

 

And that reveal with Dolores in the S2 finale still holds up great.

I will say this: The first half of Season 3 worked better for me than the second half. But you are very right: Once I came back to the show, I felt very different about Season 2, so maybe Season 3 needs a rewatch down the line.

Hahaha so the opposite of the first two seasons where they had slow starts and then burned all the way through. Not sure how I feel about that. But it probably will be a rewatch for me as well.

      I've seen this error before. I think it should be okay in the future.

      Ted has been icky and giving off bad guy vibe from the first moment I saw him. I have a sensor for that and it was beeping! So...don't put all the blame on Silkpress. The woman needs a good psychiatrist, true... but Leslie is just one of the skeletons in HIS closet. Ted is even a bigger monster, because he's hidden.  IT WAS A PERFECT REVEAL. Perfect, because in the beginning of the show... Dani was envying her sister's marriage... In these first few messy weeks... her own misery and life spiraling was contrasted to the picture-perfect marriage Nicole and Ted seemed to have. (on first glance). What happened now... is very very smart writing. THIS IS THE MOMENT THE MASKS ARE FALLING! The message it delivers to me is this. It says - no matter how things look... they are not what they seem. You can't judge a marriage by how it appears to be. Aaaand in the long run... maybe the messiest-looking people (Dani Dupree, I'm talking about you!) HAVE less issues and problems than the ones that seem to have it all. The ones with the MOST skeletons in the closets and the dirty pasts.   It was an AHA moment for the whole family and the viewers and a way forward for Dani and Nicole to bond even more and realize they are MORE alike than they are different. Now it will be quite a different dynamic, because Dani will have to SUPPORT someone and not be the one getting her wounds licked always. And also another lesson. Some men are dogs. Not all of them. But a lot of them are. The difference is... some can't be easily recognized. These creeps have put very impressive masks. The show is doing this perfectly. Beat by beat. Exploring classic soap opera themes and stories. Real-life characters and situations, that are relatable and make you think... Hmm... maybe I need to dig a little deeper next time I say "these people are perfect" or otherwise. Maybe I need to think MORE. That type of storytelling. It's not easy to do that.  Brava BTG.  B-R-A-V-A!

      I speculate that Nicole will go through cycles of numbness/grief/rage.  At some point later on, regardless of DNA results (or faked results), whether there was a baby swap or not, I think Nicole will forgive Eva, and eventually love her someday.  Nicole will come to understand that Leslie gaslighted/manipulated Eva.  Nicole will be her loving self, although more guarded than before.   Just my thoughts.

      Lol. That comment was just silly.  I feel like The Guiding Light started it when they made me love Roger Thorpe. Leslie is pussycat in comparison and there is a lot of story to go  for her and Eva.

      Your posts continue to amuse me. I don't know anyone else who thinks Leslie and Eva should "hightail it out of town."  And listen, soaps have been FOR DECADES keeping around villains who we know would be jailed in real life. So is it crazy to think "they are just going to let this slide"? No. It's kind of hilarious to watch you take everything that happens on this show and distort it or lead me to think, "Huh???"

      I can't even count the amount of magazine covers and photoshoots KKL has been in the past few months. Shame that the show is not mirroring the success she's having. It would have been so great to see both KKL and Brooke be on top.  I'm still holding a grudge that Brad rewrote the company take-over to a nothing... and then nulled Brooke to being a romance beggar again.

      I'm also getting an error that I haven't seen before, but there's been a couple of different variations, so not going to worry about it for now.

      Finally got to sit down and watch. Wow!  When LesDanLuAnn said to Ted, this your daughter. I started tearing up...... Eva got me.  I felt like I was watching a soap opera.

      The drag was when Tad and Edmund went to Budapest (?) in 1997 to get Maddie back from Dimitri.
