Possibly Cory? I have some memory of Cory and Pedro being very close initially bc they met each other first before anyone else in the cast....I also have some memory of their sharing a train ride together. Did that happen? Anyway they were close initially bc she was the sort of young, really sheltered and naive one,…

I am waiting for PBS Masterpiece to start airing reruns of “The Masked Singer” any day now.

Nah it’s TikTok’ers and Matthew Gray Gubler fans. Which is the most fascinating thing really - I am sure the median age of those going crazy streaming is 18-24, who would never in a million years watching anything on normal CBS.

Britney HAS sounded like that lately though - it’s not an imitation of Britney from the early 2000s, but from what she has sounded like on her Instagram videos and stories, the ones that have made ppl think Britney was sending subliminal mentions, as teased in the sketch. And I dunno - I don’t actually think it was a…

The way he loses his mind when John says he has a solid 54 years before his threesome window closes has been my most favorite thing about Pete Davidson for years! He gets a lifetime pass from me for that alone - the rest of this sketch is just extra goodness (and I’ll never not welcome an appearance by John Mulaney…

PITCH. PERFECT. I remembered Growing Pains bc of the photo montages leading up to the intro of the actor (I only remember this bc I was in love with Kirk Cameron and loved his photos. WAS in love. WAS. When I was a wee little one barely old enough to understand this crushy feelings, and didn’t realize the kind of…

the studio tour was terrible - Eugene Levy being the only good thing bc, you know, Eugene Levy. In a weird plastic box. That can’t not be funny. But everything else....and I think it was mostly a rehash of a bit Jimmy Fallon did some weeks ago? The lady with the 6-foot distancing noodle definitely felt familiar to me,…

“Early middle-agers” - how dare you, sir. Moving right along from that, thank you very much. Although the sketch was too spot-on for my comfort lol, esp. the line about never wanting to move to North Carolina but if I did, I’d be able to buy a mini mansion bc, truth. I often think this checking properties ANYWHERE in…

Oh that’s really interesting! I did a class on Fictions on Consumption where we studied similar topics, read a lot of Walter Benjamin and “The Ladies’ Paradise.” One of the best classes I took as an undergrad, and I really wish I had continued research in a similar field, maybe in sociology or cultural anthropology…

I thought he and Mikey Day had really good chemistry in that sketch, if that’s the right word for it? Skit partner dynamics? Just played the discomfort and “passive-aggressive needling that only your best friend from childhood can get away with” perfectly.

nah this is babka - centuries old and unrequiring of reinterpretation or translation by British baking standards. That’s all the high ground I need! Not even Trump can ruin that tradition.

I wondered the same thing! Basic but delicious would have HAD to have been preferable over anything the bakers offered up. I make a really mean peppermint patty brownie around the holidays, the most complicated thing about that recipe being the red, green and white glaze drizzled over top. Could I have possibly…

after we finish the rugelach technical!

Prue insulted my profound NYC and half-Jewish pride saying that the babka she had in New York was nothing compared to Paul’s. Ummmm excuse me, Prue? This is not possible. I reject everything about this statement!! So this is why I completely agree the show badly needs a New York Jew intervention to explain what’s…

Watching them make babka so soon after those questionable bagels makes me think we need an actual new york jew intervention on this show: if Prue says the babka she had in NY was heavier and the one there is lovely and light...the one there is wrong, dude.

yes exactly - it was a self-acknowledged lie to cover up her true feelings (greed, anger, exhaustion at tolerating a lifetime of abuse, etc).

Prue insulted my profound NYC and half-Jewish pride saying that the babka she had in New York was nothing compared to Paul’s. Ummmm excuse me, Prue? This is not possible. I reject everything about this statement!! Oh the British elitism! [Although that Babka did look rather good.....]

Can’t help you on the grays!! I seem to be stuck in them as well and trying not to take it personally! :( this approval system is not my fav

Ah yeah I didn’t hate this episode nearly as much. It felt like it carried on much longer than necessary, but I think it answered questions about the mysteries of Bly Manor people still had. Just yesterday I was responding to comments from people unsure about why the faces of some ghosts were faded, or how long the…

He convinced her to kill herself....or rather he possessed her body long enough for her to be submerged in the lake, and left just in time for her to realize what was happening seconds before she drowned. Which is why you see her so scared at the end, and then absolutely devastated once it’s done, howling and crying…
