There’s a reason. (Although I feel like it works less in the US than it did in the book setting)

Will there be coverage of the new AHS season? (I ask into the void, since notifications don’t work)

I feel like I’m too boring for these shows now, I was mostly concerned that Gigi had too much wine to drive.

You’re right, it was all much slower in the book. Plus we got inner life stuff so we knew things about the characters that none of the other characters did (or did know, but much much later). And the other inner life component that we got a lot of in the book was due to a certain rule at the spa that they’ve not had…

I was coming here to say exactly that about Weaving - she really seems to channeling Alexis Rose.

Agreed, I wish they hadn’t adapted this one to the States. It’s filmed in Australia and like half the actors are Australians pretending not to be. Why not just have the retreat be in Australia, but happen to have a handful of Americans there so they can still have their big-name American actor draws?

Napoleon. (I had the same question)

Some actually good news! I accidentally found the Quibi Reno 911! episodes on Roku somehow and they were pretty solid. Looking forward to more.

Like a decent human would do!

Because Armond then acknowledged that the suite Shane was in was a lower cost than the Pineapple Suite, and that he was now being charged the cost of that suite. Shane kept pushing after that, his issue did not seem to be disbelieving the cost differential was being credited back. If it was a partial refund he wanted…

Yes, he checked his emails to make sure they really did book the Pineapple Suite, and they had. Armond told him the current cost, the actual amount they were being charged for being there, was for the suite they ended up in.

Yes, I’m really having a hard time understanding this defense of Shane — he was a total prick about an error and wanted it fixed in a way it couldn’t be fixed. Armond told him he was only being charged the rate for the suite they were in, not the Pineapple Suite. So what was he looking for? Seems to me he was looking…

Shane was only charged for the room they were staying in, not the Pineapple Suite. Armond told him that. Shane wasn’t asking for a refund, he wanted the suite.

Because there’s no crematorium on the island or there’s a family burial plot in Australia or something, I’d assume.

In a post-show interview, they asked Mike White if the Mossbachers probably would’ve just rushed off the plane and found Quinn pretty quickly and White’s answer was “they don’t let you off the plane anymore.” That seemed a bit of a cop-out. Of course they do. There was a missing child.

And Armond didn’t charge them for the Pineapple Suite, he made it clear they were only being charged for the room they were in. Shane kept pushing it, demanding something could be done when literally nothing could be done.

$20K is a nice tip. But she was offering her transformation of her life, probably something that would’ve cost half a mil or more, and made her work for it.

It was CGI, thank god.

I had quite a few of the same reactions as your stray observations — made me nuts that Alice didn’t heat up the burger, made my own breath hurt to see Tom choose fruit-flavored gum for an onion issue, and wondered what the hell the deal is with lesbian poker.

I was about screaming right there. But what of Jodi??? Poor Jodi.
