I felt similar, but I also think the end showed just how much of a mistake it was on her part.  When Reggie confronts her, he points out the “judy garland” joke because it was juuuuuuust enough of a clue for people to put two-and-two together.  Same for the lady’s room, the man for everything, etc.  The era was one

The band was trying to warn her all season that Shy went hot or cold on a dime. Midge just naively assumed that once she gained his friendship the wind could never turn. He was her first interaction with a mainstream famous person outside of comedy and she wasn’t prepared for the difference in attitude. Or the real

I don’t think the show is going to turn on Midge; this is an Amy Sherman-Palladino production - the Gilmore Girls were the two biggest jerks in Stars Hollow, and the show expected us to love them. 

I think she was fired owing more to Shy’s fear and insecurity that any little clue will out him, not any actual audience members putting the clues together. It’s 1960, unless an attractive lady’s man flat out said he was gay no one would think he was. That being said Shy’s fear is real and comes from years of hiding

I don’t know, when being “selfish” is one of your defining characteristics, while you’re also busy neglecting your children makes you a bad person in my book...

Yeah see that was what I got from the scene as well. Her routine, to me at least, didn’t seem to out Shy, so much as roast him for being high maintenance, which would’ve played well to an audience who are largely African American and working class. And this on top of it being 1960, would her jokes have read as “Oh,

I think you really nailed Midge's character in this review perfectly. She isn't a bad person, but she is selfish and some of the things she wants, she only wants because the era and her family tell her she should want them. I feel like she and Joel would be fine 50 years later, as long as they decide they don't want

So I was sure that Midge was going to out Shy because she will say anything if she needs a laugh, but then when i saw her set and how well received it was, I felt that she skirted it just enough to get away with it.

How the hell is this woman still around.  She is a fraud, a hack, and only in this to get name recognition for future books.  Yet she hasn't been news for month's.  She hasn't been on a debate stage for month's.  Why???

What’s next... “Coffee Shop Frequented by Epstein?” “Auto Company whose products were purchased by Epstein?”

Mikey is much more handsome than the nebbishy roles he tends to cast himself in. 

“NATO high school cafeteria” isn’t a brilliant sketch premise, but it was still more interesting than a rote reenactment of the incident or a press conference about it. Cold opens are almost always going to be about low hanging political fruit, but I wish they would try to find more varied structures in which to make

Hammond has had some serious issues with mental illness and addiction. No one’s risking putting him on live TV. Too bad because he was way better than Baldwin. And bad for his own well being, of course.

Eh I think both can be true. Andrew’s extravagance has always been an issue. The appeal of having men like Epstein as friends wasn’t just the girls it granted him access to, but that he couldn’t live the lifestyle he wanted with on his own income/allowance/whatever and relied on billionaire friends to subsidize it. If

She’s the first Democratic presidential candidate in the 70+ category to release details of her health. “There are no medical conditions or health problems that would keep her from fulfilling the duties of the President of the United States,” Woo wrote.

I think I wore high heels once and I looked like Bambi, so it’s usually sneakers.

I’m still just annoyed AF Midge STILL has not learned how to read a room and tailor her act to her audience. We saw a huge example of that in season 2 when she gives the toast at the Irish Catholic friend’s wedding. I remember watching that scene and as soon as she made the first crack about the priest, I gasped. I

Also with a lady symbol right in the logo!  ...If he knows what it means, I guess.

imma call bullshit on this brand because there's no WAY Trump thinks something labeled "Bronx" is classy enough for him.

Why wear suits 2 sizes too big or ties 4 inches too long? The man didn’t even know how to properly wear a waistcoat when he met the Queen. The oversized suits “make him look slimmer” and the ties “taller.” I’m sure he believes the orange makes him look healthier. There is literally no rationale to this man’s behavior.
