I work in the UK Civil Service over here and we are under so much pressure from all sides due to Brexit and the pandemic. In fact, the government department that I work for is buckling under the strain so badly that it’s going to take years to fully recover from the damage that’s been caused.

At this point, the Trump administration is just doing random s**t, like an Arby's employee who's actually finished for the day, but who still has ten minutes before he can clock out.

Agree.

 

I don't know how successful Biden's plan for combating the pandemic will be, but you know what?  In a way, I don't care.  I'm just glad to have someone in D.C. who wants to do something to stop it rather than just throw up their hands and say, "It is what it is."

Looking at this and thinking of a family friend who is battling COVID and also worried they may have given it to a parent (waiting to even get access to tests), I feel so numb and wonder if this can or will ever end. I see many already writing off Biden's response, after bending over backward to praise Trump for even putting a mask on his rotting, bloated face, but at this point anything has to be an improvement. Trump and his flunkies were malicious and callous - murderers, every single one of them.

    • 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. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
