I was talking with a friend during this and realized that Lena Heady only got about 4.6 seconds of screen time this season, and probably only shared one scene in real life with another lead actor (Nikolai). She was probably only on set for like a week.

Dany’s rage makes more sense to me if this season had been 10 episodes long. I don’t doubt that she’d lose everything in the Great War and eventually be so stripped of everything that she’d lose it, but I just need a little bit more real estate to believe it to be true.

Same. It was probably my favorite show of 2018. FX is fast becoming one of my favorite networks because they deliver programs like Pose.

The writer/English major/elitist in me takes a lot of umbrage with their menu:

Janet is a very beer-budget name.

What is with that background in the confessional? Is it supposed to look like a Spanish mosaic of an expensive suburban living room?

Her choice is soooooo much better than Kate’s matronly maternity tents, which I feel like tried a little too hard to echo Diana in the 80s.

I get what you’re saying, and I agree with you on some level, but here’s the fundamental difference between James and Jax (based entirely on my own personal understanding of the show, which could have holes in it where Jax is concerned):

It’s really interesting to consider how she picked her wedding party, which was essentially “every girl on the cast + two friends from home.” I thought it was ridiculous that she chose Katie as her matron of honor (like, when have we ever seen those two alone together or have any sort of intimate conversation?), but…

Oh, haven’t you heard? James only has a FEW shots when he goes out now so he’s totally fixed.

Yeah. Everyone on this show is dumb, obviously, but at least they have energy. She’s just like ... the sound of industrial air conditioning.

I just realized where the crux of my James hate lies. He reminds me of Trump:

Ha! I agree that Jax is a garbage king of turd mountain, and the fact that he’s like four times as old as James makes his behavior indefensible. I’m fine with cutting them both. And if it’s any consolation, I seriously doubt this wedding to Brittany will ever happen (or at the most last longer than 18 months).

She’s a lot like Kourtney and Kim Kardashian in the sense that neither the tone of her voice nor her facial expressions convey any sort of emotion or emphasis. I won’t measure apples to apples in the intelligence department, but at least Kourtney and Kim have the business and reality empire for their blank stare not…

I agree that she’s anxious, but I still maintain that she’s dumb. It’s not just evident in her slow talking; it’s in the way she listens to people. She maintains eye contact but shows no register of emotion or reaction or... anything. Sorry to use a cliche, but she just LOOKS (and looks at the world) like there’s…

I said in another comment that I think it’s hypocritical and gross that the women on this show (and men, FWIW) talk down to her like they don’t pull the same idiotic shit she does. Just because they’re in their early 30s doesn’t mean they’ve grown out of the terrible relationship behavior that someone as young as…

I would have been, and I would have had Eugene Tyszkiewicz on my arm.

My friends follow Katie on Instagram and have brought up multiple episodes of Bubba Pregnancy Watch in our group chat.

I didn’t watch this episode (and also started my own thread above about hating Raquel because she’s dumb) so this comment might not count buuuut:

Also: hiring her at SUR just means that James has better access to loiter/terrorize the place, and That Is Not Good. I’m only OK with her working there if it means her female coworkers can give her enough pep talks to bring her back from the dark side and dump James.
