Netflix: One Day at a Time

As to the first two episodes, show's still great. Flows fine. The presence of Max (who returned in the S3 finale) onscreen in Penelope's fantasies makes me suspect he's not gone for good despite the promises of a new love interest, though. I'd be fine with more Max.

 

If you have trouble finding the show via Other Means if you don't have Pop, hit me up.

Making my way through the curtailed S4 - it only got half its season completed (plus tonight's animated episode, previewed above) due to the pandemic. Max being back is lovely, though I keep expecting a shoe to drop in his and Penelope's renewed romance. The pregnancy news for

is intriguing.

 

I wonder if Alex's hair is due to another role Marcel Ruiz took before filming - it seems to be lasting past Halloween.

The ODAAT midseason finale (or perhaps now Season 4 period, given the circumstances - it was the last episode they filmed before the pandemic) was really emotional, with them scattering Berto’s ashes on the roof. You could tell the actors were fighting to keep it together, especially Rita Moreno and Justina. Given the state of all the relationships (minus Elena and Syd, who now seem poised for a college breakup despite their claims to the contrary) it could easily have been a series finale, but I am for once confident it won’t be - Pop seems committed to the show. I don’t know when the show will be back, but I’m glad it’s still doing so well. 

 

It is odd to me how they’ve hyped up an “unexpected” romantic development for Penelope this season, when all that’s happened so far is her recommitting to Max and now their happily agreeing never to marry (which I think is a mistake, but we’ll see). I am happy he’s back but I was expecting a bigger surprise.

 

Still haven’t seen the animated episode - I’ll watch it soon. Now to catch up on the latter half of Season 2 of The Conners.

The original ODAAT cast and crew (including Mackenzie Phillips) did an online reunion:

And here's the new cast and crew (with Stacey Abrams?) at the virtual Paley Fest.

I'm excited to see her on DWTS. The dance show hasn't held my interest for quite a few years now and especially now that Bergeron was shown the door. Great publicity for her. I love how she's game to do just about anything, lol.

 

I'm also happy to see the show airing on CBS (they did say it would anyway, as part of the deal)

 

I enjoyed watching some of the ODAT original cast reunion too. Michael Lembeck still looks good. lol. 

 

And Valerie hasn't 'moved on'. She's in there and seems to be having a ball. I believe she was also asked somewhere else about the current ODAT and basically why she hasn't appeared (i was re-reading this thread and saw back in 2017/2018 I wondered why she hadn't even mentioned the new show at all).

    • I find the black & white episodes FAR more atmospheric and spooky than the color episodes.   The first few months of Dark Shadows move ploddingly slow when you're binge-watching, with entirely too much repetition and exposition.  But as someone noted above, it's the only time in the show when you get much character development.  After the 1795 sequence, it's pretty much like "just make something up; nobody cares."   The series essentially became self-parody with the overload of monsters & ghoulies.  I was watching a scene one time in which the Witch was attempting to stop the Phoenix from staking the Vampire, and I got tickled at the absurdity of three "monsters" in one scene.  
    • So cool!!!   And that picture is fierce!!!    
    • Just glancing through, it does remind me that I really need to catch up. Sounds like the new writing team have been off to a good start.    
    • Loved Katie's reaction to seeing Philip beaten up and near death.
    • I am so pleasantly surprised at how the new writing team is approaching Kate. Towards the end of R*n's run, she faded right out, off contract, pouring coffee at the Brady Pub...and then somehow it turned around and she's back in suits, woven in and out of multiple storylines, and inching back towards the business world, while having her relationship with Roman being written maturely.
    • Someone apparently told Brad Bell that "playing all the beats" meant repeating the same dialogue every day.

      Steal her away from Y&R and make her "Sharon".  
    • -- I continue to enjoy DAYS post-Carlivati. These women have done a great job in refocusing the show. -- It sounds nuts not to agree with "rapists and murderers shouldn't be romantic leads." But then you get characters like Xander and EJ, and you have to put an asterisk after that quote. I enjoy both characters far too much to want them off the show or thrown in jail. They're romantic leads, but you can't tell me they haven't faced consequences. -- I think the Xander beatdown of Phillip was well-directed -- and in character. Some people here believe Xander went too far. Well, that's who Xander is, and we've seen that many times over these past years. He thought he had family, and then realized it was all a lie, so he resorted back to his animal roots. -- The Stephanie Racy Book storyline is soooooo bad. I had to laugh that she couldn't find her manuscript in that 2x4 apartment.
    • Both Philip and Xander should be in jail, period.
    • 5-14   AMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY!!! Thank the Lord! lol. But at least I now have something of interest to watch. So good to see Audra and Amy reunited. hehe. I also liked the continued bonding between Damian and Nate. Side-note...those pants on SD and all of that cake is PERFECTION. Mmmm.   I also enjoyed the continued dragging of Billy. First by the son. And then by the father. lol. Billy standing there and being so insufferable and wonder why people are giving him the business. He can stay at that bar and STFU. Double for Chelesa.    And ugh at Giggly Heffa wasting Victor's (and the audience's) time with her inability to spit it out. At least she made up for it by calling Dumas directly. I was just talking about how I love near-miss in the BTG thread, but the difference here is that the Dumas part of the Damian storyline has gone on too long. So her near-miss was annoying.
