That was a good premiere.

 

1994 is the year. The music was STILL on point (and yay for Rupaul and Shanice). And there was a clear direction as well as pacing. It was such a premiere.

 

What I liked and was surprised with was that they took advantage of this time jump to throw in some great twist as well as some interesting developments for a lot of the main AND supporting characters. If this is the last season, I wan to be sure that EVERYONE is okay. Not unlike GoT's last season where they had to wrap up so many characters. I hope it ends here better though.

 

What I felt that Season 2 did not have that Season 1 had was an antagonist. Of course, we all want Elektra to be developed to the point where you cannot just call her the villain. So they needed one. I loved the choice of who they picked. And it made sense who was picked. 

 

I did not like the death. Of course you all know me well enough to know I won't spoil it yet...but just like Candy since it's someone known I feel a kinda way. When you watch characters' grow, you feel a way when something bad happens to them.

 

I loved how they were all in different places or there are cracks in their relationships and how they either come together or are slowly coming together. 

 

Finally a House vs House IN THE FIRST EPISODE!!! Great.

 

A great mix of drama, comedy, one liners, and sad moments.

 

Great opener.

 

Onto Episode 2...

Why did the first series about trans women become the Billy Potter show? He is always overacting. The scene with the House of Khan boy saying goodbye to his friend in the hospital room touched me ten thousand times more than BP obsessing to get his Emmy in every single scene.

I don't like that a rather realistic show became another naive Ryan Murphy fantasy like "Hollywood". Not to mention that sometimes I feel as though I am watching a very bad straight to video movie at 3 a.m. Especially during the very dramatic scenes with Papi. 

Dominique, Indya, MJ and even Angelica are "Pose".  Season 1 was iconic, after that TPTB decided that only the message (or the lecture) is important, characters and story not so much.

Now Episode 2...

 

...that had a HINT of rush to it.

 

It still flowed beautifully...just not as much as Episode 1.

 

And again...it was great to see another House vs House. And En Vogue at that. Not to mention Janet Jackson. Again, Music was on point. 

 

And then the episode closed out with Mariah Carey.

 

That intervention for Pray Tell was this year's Dinner Party from Hell and the reads were fast and furious. 

 

And next week...THE TRUNK...

    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna?

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

      Newsom is a craven opportunist, but his comments today were exactly how better people need to handle Trump.
