Anybody watch season 2?

 

Ralph Angel is one more beautiful manchild. I can't stand his tantrums but love his acceptance of Blue. He talks all that big talk about the farm and then comes crawling back. And Charley just allows it without throwing it in his face. She's a far better woman than me. 

 

Micah's recounting of his arrest was haunting. The cops terrorize people like that every day. Evil. 

 

I'm loving Nova's arc this season. She's met a man with friends in high places. She's too scared of selling out that she's limiting herself. Purity is all well and good but she needs to be prepared to continue to not have resources she needs to make a a bigger impact. She's cutting off her nose go spite her face. That he's gorgeous, educated, driven, and totally enamored of her should seal the deal. That's a power couple in the making. 

 

Remy is sweet but I can feel Charley and Davis reuniting in the future.

Ralph Angel's face broke my heart. Greg Vaughn looked dayum good, but I don't blame Nova for showing him the door. 

 

Michael Michele as Darla's mom and Sharon Lawrence as Charley's had some great scenes. I especially liked SL in her scene with Nova, as well as her final scene with Tina Lifford.

 

Oh @ajsp35801, I so see Charley and Davis  working it out. Horizontally and emotionally.

 

I really like the way the actor playing Micah plays the beats of his story.

Vi and Hollywood's wedding was the perfect ending for the season.

When  Prosper got the deed to his house from Charley---great scene. Henry G. Sanders is perfect in this role.

 

Micah came into his own with that speech. The reactions of Vi, Hollywood, Nova and RA to his revelation about the cop putting the gun in his mouth  were spot on.

 

 

I really love that Charley has a "good" man in her corner. 

 

I enjoyed the finale and am looking forward to what the next season has in store.

It was a great kickoff to the new season. I've long maintained that this show is the closest thing we've got to old-style daytime soaps, before Dallas and Dynasty and the go-go '80s led every show to focus on outrageously wealthy characters and increasingly outlandish plots. Everything that happens in this show seems like it could and would actually happen to these people, and the consequences for them, their family and their community are finely observed. It reminds me of the way Doug Marland built his canvases -- and this season's plot about Nova's book (and the impact it will have on the people she loves) calls to mind Jamie Frame's notorious novel on AW.

 

I also love the way this show looks, from the lighting that beautifully highlights every shade of skin to the artfully composed shots of bucolic Louisiana. My only frustration is that I can't seem to convince anyone else to watch it!

This weeks May 2020 Covid episode had some really great scenes among the  quarantined factions of the Bordelons.

 

 

 

 

Vi inviting a scared and lonely Mr. Prosper  to stay with her as Hollywood went to see his mother, only to have to take mom off a ventilator led to an excellent scene from Tina Lifford and Omar Dorsey

Ralph Angel leaving this year's crop to the land, taking a job and being "of service" as a janitor like Ernest had been.  His new friendship with Reggie, a nursing home patient, reuniting  Reggie with his wife (through a shut window) was beautiful.   Ralph Angel's subsequent proposal was all it should have been.

 

Nova and Calvin's new quarantine buddy, his college aged daughter was nothing I expected and I should have.  When she told Nova she had never seen her father so happy. I smiled.

 

Of course it was Charlie and Micah's scenes that held the  never expected scene.  Her  first (well second) truly sincere apology for her slip of the tongue. Telling him he was the same as his father. Their conversation about being a single mom when she tossed his father out for two months---but that his dad showed up for him every day was a nice touch.

Jim Halterman interviews Rutina Wesley, one of the stars of Queen Sugar in advance of the Sept. 6, 2022 premiere of the Seventh and final season of Queen Sugar.
https://www.tvinsider.com/1058830/queen-sugar-season-7-nova-calvin-rutina-wesley-greg-vaughn/

Rutina talks about working with Greg Vaughan who played her love interest.

“I love working with Greg Vaughn, and I’ll tell you why,” Wesley starts, before adding, “We tested together and ever since the moment I saw him, we were really connected. I remember he walked in the room and I was like, ‘Whoa’ … Greg makes me feel sexy, he makes me feel beautiful. He looks at me in a way that people haven’t looked at me before. So he makes me feel good, and I need that.”

Sam Landry losing everything and  getting screwed over by his nephew. Bravo to Ana Duvernay for ending the series on such a great high.  Watching RA, Darla, Prosper, Billie, Cardale and Miss Parthena as they walked out of the room was great--and Jacob referring to them as the true leaders of their community leaving Sam for dust.

Great to see Remy, Charley and Calvin all in the finale, but Glynn Turman's flashbacks with Prosper were flawless. As Prosper relayed the comments Ernest had made, his pride in  Nova and RA beamed through. 

Kofi Siribo and Rutina Wesley both hit all the marks.  RA going after Darla and expressing himself so eloquently. Nova finally letting go of all the turbulence and pain from the past and accepting Calvin as the true love she always craved was such an emotional scene.  The light in Trudy's room beaming in on her.  Just beautiful.

 

Hollywood's impassioned speech at the town hall as he went after the Board of Education seat almost had me ready to vote for him.

 

Vi and Hollywood and that cute little foster child they ended up with... awwww.

The only thing missing from watching this finale-- not having one of Vi's Pies to eat while watching!

    • I absolutely loved the last few episodes—devoured them! If Trisha and Ambyr’s performances aren’t Emmy-worthy, I don’t know what is. I wasn’t bothered by the lawyer girl not being at the gala from the start, or the grandkids being absent, or Vanessa being MIA. It just goes to show how unnecessarily huge the Dupree family is. And like Toups said, you can’t cram the entire cast into a single episode. Minor nitpicks: Yeah, Ted seriously needs a recast—been saying that since day one. I still don’t know where he stands, and he just comes off as a generic nice guy. Not having Ted and Bill share a single scene since the show started? Huge missed opportunity. And not having Leslie get anywhere near Bill in one of her wigs? Another big miss. It really weakened the impact of her big reveal about Bill’s involvement. Now it just feels a bit like fan fiction. I’m totally confused by Vanessa and Doug’s “arrangement.” One moment it seems like they’re in an open relationship, and the next Vanessa acts completely shocked when Doug so much as hints at her “distractions.” Huh? Can anyone explain what’s going on there?
    • You’d think he would’ve learned after the way Sprina took off.  I hope we get a proper Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai quad, as friends, romantic rivals, etc. In the few scenes that the four of them have had together, I felt like there was a natural chemistry between all of them, similar to the way that Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss was, in the beginning.  And, it would be a lot better than all this stuff with Kai’s surgery. 
    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication.
