This episode did a great job of showing why Shiv is the way she is. She’s always been cold toward Tom—even in season one she showed zero guilt while cheating on him and was constantly waving away his feelings. Sometimes Roman or Logan go too far for her, but in the end she hasn’t shown any interest in walking away…

It had to have been the olive oil that did Crystelle’s focaccia in. Yes, it requires a lot of olive oil, but not that much. I actually thought she was making something I’d never heard of when I saw how drenched it was. I can’t imagine that recipe worked out when she practiced, so I’m inclined to believe Allison’s…

I was just thinking that tonight. I felt bad for her, which is rare, and I think that’s because we often see vulnerability from Kendall and Roman, but it’s unusual to see that from Shiv, so she can be harder to feel sympathy for. She probably thinks there’s nothing worse than vulnerability.

I’m completely convinced that’s really his wife and kids (but not their real names) and they’re all just as committed to fucking with Kyle as he is because they’re all terrible.

I think at this point it’s fairly clear to us, if not Logan, that none of the Roy kids should be in charge. Shiv ought to go back to politics, if she can, because faking it until she makes it in her family’s company ain’t working. Roman’s grown a lot since wrapping himself around Gerri’s finger (and getting kidnapped…

I’ll put it this way: I have a couple of her songs, but in general I find myself avoiding her stuff because I’m turned off by how intense her fans are in their online behavior. And since I’m digging deeper—she also has a victim complex I find really annoying.

Honestly one of the reason’s I’ve never bothered to get into Swift’s music is that I find her fandom off-putting. And I’m all for using your own life to inspire your art, but this is going a little far. Gyllenhaal’s getting called out for not being a great boyfriend to a woman he dated for three months 11 years ago.…

I didn’t realize you’re automatically an asshole if you’re rich but also like the movie Parasite.

I’ve never really thought much of Shiv (I definitely agree with Rhea’s assessment that she’s not as smart as she thinks she is), but wow she went full Ivanka Trump this episode. Taking credit for Gerri’s work by calling Logan and sneering, “Yeah, cuz he’s my dad,” was so cringeworthy.

I really enjoyed Woody Harrelson’s probable word-for-word take on Joaquin Phoenix’s unhinged Oscar acceptance speech. He really made it his own.

John Early is definitely the MVP of this series. It’s been over a year since we binged this show and my husband and I still scream, “FRESH ICE!!!” at each other whenever possible.

It’s always so sad to see Kendall try to make friends with someone. His chitchat with Adrien Brody about their kids was fine, but then when he tried to get him to commit to coming to his birthday party and Brody replied with, “Uh, who’s gonna be there?” Devastating.

It’s entirely on-brand for Meghan McCain to not realize that people are being shitty to her because she’s being shitty to them. She’s the epitome of the person who doesn’t realize that she’s not just running into assholes all day: she’s the asshole.

I know it’s not even Halloween yet but I suddenly feel like watching A Muppet Christmas Carol and sobbing.

I didn’t take Kim’s Hamilton comment as her saying the play itself was good for America as much as she was saying that at least there was this ripple effect and a kid was inspired to read a very long book about Alexander Hamilton. Also I think she stole the crayons because she misses being a mother so desperately that…

I really liked this episode. I would’ve loved it with 20% less Nate and 20% more Isaac instead.

Wow we’ve come a long way from the Met Gala’s “no selfie” rule.

If you haven’t, you should read Knox’s thread. This film is being promoted by the filmmaker as being inspired by Amanda Knox’s story, to the point that (she points out) articles about the film are being published with her face as the accompanying image.

I felt that way about Stodden back then, too. I feel terrible that I didn’t see her then as a victim of abuse, but I also don’t feel great about the way people are baying for Teigen’s blood.

Comedians will always protect each other. We all saw how reluctant anyone in that industry was to condemn Louis C.K. when he admitted to what he did, and how long other comedians knew what Chris D’Elia was up to and said nothing.
