It makes me sad that anyone could watch through this point and say Rebecca has zero ties to West Covina. Her only real honest true relationship so far is with Paula. Her relationship with Daryl seems to be her 2nd most healthy relationship. Plus, you know, she got the key to the city, so that has to count for

I remember obsessively reading Season 2 buzz during the break, and it seems like we'll get a number of new characters introduced. Brittany Snow and Yael Grobglas will be making appearances. Plus, Valencia has been upgraded to season regular. So I think there will be plenty of plot - it will just take a somewhat

"like my pussy, you two have wonderful taste"

I wonder if there is more free reign on Friday nights. Also, it is in an hour later timeslot, right?

Gotta say, I'm a bit worried for Greg. By the end of the episode he seems like he's in a good place, but there are still various red flags that indicate this journey will be harder for him than he realizes.

Straight woman here, but in response to DD's question I feel like someone has to mention her… physical assets. She says in season 1 that Paul isn't an ass man, but he does seem to appreciate her boobs - for example he seems to respond to comments like "but so-and-so's wife has no tits," etc. Sure Paul isn't shown to

I think you're reading the show as if it is supposed to be making some statement about the authentic black experience, but that expectation reduces the show to something much more simple than it is. Atlanta isn't only about one thing. It deals with race, but is not exclusively about race. Among other things it is

It looks like CW cut the episode order for all their shows. I guess it makes sense: with the Netflix deal CW is seemingly able to continue airing shows that are critical darlings but do poorly in the rating game, but Netflix probably prefers a shorter order for binge watchers.

I'm hoping CW execs have some sense of the audience they get for this show through streaming. Now that it is on Fridays I will likely never watch when it actually airs, but I'll watch every episode using their app, and probably will re-watch at least once during any hiatus. Watched all of Season 1 on Hulu, then

I thought the Mississippi Mudslide reference was Josh teasing Hector, since Hector wanted the details, and it was Josh's way of basically saying no dude, I'm not giving specifics. I didn't think that was an actual thing Rebecca did.

I think the "made fresh" part is key. I LOVE hummus in a restaurant/homemade, any time it is fresh and has just the right amount of tahini. But packaged hummus is usually disappointing, so they mix it with things so you will forget how much it is lacking in texture.

I figured it was all clearly Amazon Prime, because product placement

If you gave me thousands of Skittles and invited me to bring them home, but then you told me there is some chance one might kill me, but then you also said that there is an equally remote chance something already in my kitchen might kill me- maybe the brown sugar I bought last week, maybe the white granulated sugar,

It's almost as if the showrunners trust us to remember that scene with Loras last episode and to understand that something more is going on…

Absolutely. Especially the part about putting on an act for Tommen. The reviewer got me so frustrated when they said she wouldn't say Loras needed to atone unless she had been brainwashed. She wouldn't BELIEVE that, but she'd say it to Tommen if her plan required convincing him that she was suddenly devout. I

She identifies with Cersei, but she identifies with Cersei in the sense that she says Cersei would want vengeance on those who did this to her. I don't think she's given up on vengeance necessarily, but she realizes she wants to have her own motivations and agenda, not serve someone else's.

In the books the inhabitants of Westeros do start referring to what happened as the "red wedding." What happened there is widely known, and it is shocking to folks that the Freys killed their guests after sharing bread and salt. (though FYI I don't recall "purple wedding" ever being used in the books for Joffrey's

I don't think you got the point of this article..

Am I the only one who was actually a bit afraid for Tyrion? If I were just a show viewer I would not have been, but his freeing the dragons was so reminiscent of Quentin Martell's attempt to free the dragons in the books that it actually gave me pause and fear on Tyrion's behalf. Well-played show-runners.

I don't think we've seen enough to label him as an alcoholic, though he could be. So far, we've seen him drinking in a lot of situations, but we don't see him outside of social situations, so we don't see him drinking alone, or in completely inappropriate contexts. We've seen him get drunk more than the other
