Yeah, that was the only part that bothered me. Of course she’s Ziggy?  Were we ever meant to be under the impression that she wasn’t?

I hate to say it, but I agree. These aren’t supposed to be high art. They’re not even supposed to be films that elevate the horror genre, like The Orphanage* or The VVitch. I would say that the bar they’re trying to make it to is Scream, and really Scream is a movie made for horror fans, while this trilogy seems to be…

Another episode that delves into just how bad Kevin is. He called his friend’s boyfriend and told him not to trust Patty? What the actual fuck. It did at least open Patty’s eyes to how bad he is, I think. (Also I think it was interesting that Kurt was so easily dismissive of Kevin for being stupid. It definitely seems…

I was going to say the same.  That was a super bitchy thing to say, and she knew it when she said it.  That doesn’t justify her husband cheating on her (I don’t think we know enough about their marriage to say one way or the other how bad it is) but she’s certainly not a friend to Allison.

Yes! The further we get into this show, the more I really love the sitcom conceit for exposing just how manipulative this kind of relationship (as displayed on tv, anyway) is. Partners are supposed to be just that - partners - not a parent and their kid who is constantly wearing them down with requests for five more…

I don’t know; I think we did learn a few things from the sitcom in this episode. Up till now, everyone in Kevin’s world (except for Allison) has bought into/celebrated his oafish ways, but here we have a group of strangers who very quickly come to the realization that this guy is an idiot. And yet, they still let him…

He’s tracked my phone to make sure I’m not going anywhere “unapproved” and if I don’t tell him everything I’m doing he gets upset.

Welcome back to the only family members I actually missed seeing during quarantine.  Kendall, you beautiful bastard, I can’t wait to see all the ways you’ll make me hate you and yet root for you this season.

But are there generally layers to the types of sitcoms they’re referring to?  (That’s a genuine question - these kind of sitcoms aren’t my thing so I’ve never watched them.)

It reminds me of fans’ reactions to Skylar White.  How dare she scold her husband . . .who was putting her and the kids at risk of losing everything/going to jail just to fuel his petty-ass desires to be respected and feared.

He spent their life savings and didn’t even tell her. And that isn’t just something Allison “says,” it’s something she discovers from Patty. Her neighbor knew more about Allison’s financial situation and security than Allison herself did. He got her fired from her job - and Patty again is a third party that…

Me too!

yeah, but in Texas, we call liquor stores liquor stores.  I know in some areas of Florida, at least, they call them package stores - I always sort of thought it was an East Coast thing.

Yeah, this show does seem to have two sets of audiences -those who unfortunately know a Kevin through their own past bad experiences and those who are (or are friends with, maybe) a Kevin.  Him blowing up her phone in this episode reminded me of my ex, who would call at me, scream down the phone line about whatever I…

Yeah, I’m really interested to see Kevin in single-cam world.  What is obnoxious and loud and brightly lit is maybe how the “world” sees abusive partners, just the same way you hear a bunch of “well, he couldn’t have done THAT; I golf with the guy and he’s so nice” comments from people, you know?  While I somewhat…

Listen, it’s very likely that Britney is sick enough to need a conservatorship.  We don’t know the details.  But if she IS that sick, then isn’t she too sick to work?  Particularly at something so demanding like a Las Vegas residency?

That’s code for “in college I finger-banged my roommate but I’m not gay or anything!”

They could have easily just filmed the entire third season on that giant fuck off yacht and avoided all diseases.

I definitely want more Fiffany if for no other reason than it took me, like, six episodes to realize it was actually Fiffany and that the entire cast didn’t have a lisp.

One of the people featured in Oliver’s segment says essentially that - “I don’t want my money going to someone who smokes” - and I turned to my husband and said, “well, I’ve got to hand it to her for saying what all of these assholes who oppose universal healthcare are thinking, I guess.”
