which is a real triumph for beautiful women with thin voices dancing well under green lasers and on stoops.

I guess once you’ve been married to Tom Cruise, nothing seems scary anymore.

Thank you! I needed that background. I’m assuming you’re a book reader. Do we ever learn more about Camille’s father? It’s okay if not; I love that Preaker is Adora’s maiden name as it subtlety implies that Camille and all her issues come purely from Adora. 

Thank you! I was so confused reading these responses. Some people are just so bored they apparently like to stir arguments for no reason.

I don’t see that happening since the show really seems to be playing up the physical similarities between her, Adora and Amma.

Reread that sentence. In no way did I make it seem like that. Just because you read it that way, doesn’t make it so. Furthermore, when I was growing up Culver City was a relatively small town compared to the surrounding area.

Hahaha the issue was, I wasn’t being dumb. He was drinking from a plastic water bottle then said, “Ugh, does anyone know why there’s even an expiration date on these?” Seventh grade was a while ago, and while everyone likely knows now why the expiration date is on them, then it wasn’t common knowledge. It also wasn’t…

What a terribly unnecessary comment. Do you attempt to correct everyone else’s method of describing personal experiences, specifically honing in on the LEAST important detail? Culver City is not essentially Hollywood. Within LA they’re very very different places and take ~1 hour to get from one to the other.

I want to know more about Camille’s family history: pointedly, the sheriff keeps calling Camille “the Preaker girl.” I’d assumed that Alan, her step-father, was a newer addition to the family since Camille left Wind Gap, but we see in this episode that he’s been part of Camille’s life for quite a while, if not almost…

Definitely a jerk. I grew up in (still live in) the town where Jeopardy is filmed and the studio will pay $10/person you bring to sit in the audience, so in HS it was an extremely common fundraiser event for sports teams. Long story short, Trebek was an asshole to me in seventh grade for answering a question he asked…

Oh thank god, then. They should definitely revise that sentence.

In March, French lawmakers decided to lower the age of consent to 15 in reaction to #BalanceTonPorc (“out your pig,” France’s #MeToo).

Oh no no don’t apologize! I loved reading that story! I’m happy for you, just bitter about this LA man-drought.

This is so cute and I’m obnoxiously jealous.

She is actually decent. Perhaps even good. Not great.

I’m mostly kidding. That said, your grandparents were likely lovely normal people and Elon Musk is Elon Musk, so...

Yes, that strikes me as extremely odd, and I wouldn’t at all put it past Musk to use his ridiculous wealth to ensure that they all came out that way by design.

I thought this was a joke and then I Googled it...and you’re not kidding! (Some of the names are pretty normal, though.)

Don’t be fooled! There’s actually a lot of fun shows on right now, The AV Club just isn’t covering them for some reason.

I don’t disagree with you, and in fact, that was part of my point. Yes, her voice is too big and unique for this pop shit, so she should be doing something else, something unique to her. Drive the musical culture, don’t follow it. I agree entirely about her never really knowing who she is musically, and nothing proved…
