I’ve been a fan of hers since Eve’s Bayou so I watch anything she’s in, I don’t think I can get worn out from her haha... actually, it’s because of her that I learned about this series existing in the first place. Her and the fact that Jordan Peele is attached gives me hope, JJ Abrams not so much but we’ll see.

WOW. I finally finished the first episode and that was a good pilot. I love this trio of the uncle, the vet, and the vixen. She's easily my favorite, but I have a soft spot for the uncle and was scared there for a moment.

 

I jumped a few times.


And that sundown town is so true since there are STILL towns like that in the South to this day.

 

And how it ended? Deliciously creepy. I'm onward to Episode 2.

@ChitHappens DONE!!! As I was watching the finale, I went 'this is like the new TRUE BLOOD' given how it ended...a girl (with an awesome robot arm) and her Lovecraftian pet. hehe.

 

But that will have to get a rewatch someday. It gave me so much to think about and chew on.

 

And Lord...the gore...so much gore...lol.

 

I just wish that Jurnee's character had been kept tough, though I loved the layers she was given and that last fight with 'the double' was great.

The last eppy was absolute TRASH!  I have been dying to say that.  

 

The treatment of Ruby was despicable.  But then I remember tv does not value dark skin characters.  It's even more shameful when this type of discrimination comes from black producers.  Colorism is very real!

 

The series was excellent until the finale.  I don't need a s2 but I'd love for a spinoff with Hippolyta (Anjanue Ellies) and any project Wunmi Mosaku (Ruby) does, I'm in.

See @ChitHappens you are going to make me go back. I guess I looked down at the wrong moment. I was wondering if Ms. Witch was clever enough to figure out what Ruby was up to. And I should have saw it coming with the twist, but I was still as shocked as Leti when she realized it. But...does that mean Ruby is dead then? Because there was so much complexity between her and La Witch and I would hate to not see that. 

 

Speaking of complexity, that episode with Hippolyta and Josephine Baker was easily my favorite. Just what it was. And what it really represented and said about black identity and how she came back 200 years later and with blue hair to boot (I love blue hair, have had blue hair BEFORE it was cool, and will have it again before I die TRUST) was just...a statement that I took to heart. And I want more of that, being who you want and whatever you want, no matter your skin color...just such a powerful message there. And using cues from things that are familiar to me from my childhood it just resonated so much to me. And I loved she passed that on to her daughter...robot arm, Lovecraft beast as a pet. lol.

 

Yeah...I liked Anjanue Ellies. A quiet strength about her and then there was a fire to her too. She played them soooo well. I can say that about Wunmi Mosaku as well. So hope she is not dead since there's still so much to play and explore between Leti and Ruby.

 

See...now I'm going to have to go and look again to be sure Ruby made it out again. I honestly can't remember. Ugh.

Yeah. 

 

As soon as I typed it, I thought that. It has taken me this long to get time (and good internet) to reply. My apologies.

 

I definitely hope it is a case of misdirection on that witch's part. I know she would feel betrayed, but she genuinely seem to care about Ruby. So I don't see her killing her and will be shocked if next season comes around and they do just that. 

 

Then again, I loved Uncle George and was annoyed at what they did after Episode 2 because he, Tic, and Leti were a great combo. It reminded me of SLIDERS where the original team was all unique and brought a fresh perspective due to how they were all different from each other at the same time.

      ALL: What are your lost soap media "holy grails" for 2025?

      Was that before his accident? I think it was. Most of us have never seen him before it happened.

      Falcon Crest

      By DRW50 · Posted

      I wonder if Falcon Crest wasn't seen as macho enough for them.  I first saw Dynasty on FX around 1994 or 1995. I think it ran for a few years, although I may be off as I moved and lost the channel for a while.

      -- The fact that we know the mess that Billy made when he renovated the Chancellor place makes his entire sadsack attitude pathetic. I wanted someone to smack the hell out of him. -- And why did Diane care so much about Billy's opinion beyond hearing he liked it better before? Why continue pressing him on it? Josh Griffith clearly thinks this is a storyline, and it isn't. It never was. -- So Mariah cheated on Tessa offscreen. OF COURSE it was offscreen. Then we got this ridiculous, convoluted explanation of why she cheated, ending in her announcement that she doesn't have any character at all. GMAFB.  -- Now we'll get the cliche garbage of Mariah confessing to Tessa, who turns to Daniel for sex even though she's a lesbian. (Please spare me the comment that Tessa is bi.) -- The excuse for Summer leaving town? Also pathetic. Why in the hell would she have to leave town to find a new creative director for Marchetti?

      Falcon Crest

      By soapfan770 · Posted

      I vaguely recall it surfaced on either TNT or TBS around 1993 or so but I could be wrong about the channel. By 1997 when this article was written Knots was still airing on TNT, Dallas was on the old TNN network (which today is Paramount), and Dynasty was on…well I don’t even recall now but feel like it was either E!  or Bravo. TNN ran Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas together in the evenings for years surprised they didn’t just pick up FC to resurrect the trifecta.

      I think you're thinking of the dress she wore on April 15 from her Ebony cover shoot when Andre had to put her in bed.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By chrisml · Posted

      @Maximthank you for such a thoughtful reply. I have printed it out so I have it with me as I watch most of the soap clips on the YT app on my TV. I've always wanted to get into Edge of Night, but I didn't no where to start.

      Laugh-In was also before my time, but I loved watching her when Nick at Nite and TV Land ran repeats. She was also on Sesame Street for years. So vibrant. One of those people I've never heard bad word of. Sorry to hear that.

      Amazing resource. Thank you! I'm pretty confident that she's worn it before. I'll look into it. That or I'm having some serious deja vu.
