It wasn't thrown in our faces as much, but they certainly spent lots of time together and were roommates. The biggest example was Melrose complaining about diarrhea and Jenny hyping up her big secret that turned out to be an enema, which she traded for Melrose's jacket. Melrose made her perform the enema though and…

Thats funny, I mistook her for Laura Spencer. Given how much I loved Wool in UnReal, I'm particularly ashamed

I have no doubt Sam would sabotage the show over his ego. He already fired Reggie for that reason.

Point by point responding to the Strays:

It’s probably one of those things where there’s her side, his side, and the truth is in between. Dating involves a lot of phrases that are easily misinterpreted. Friends covered the classic “I love spending time with you” debate, but things like meeting friends can be very important to one person and entirely…

It’s unfortunate, because on one hand, you want the show to develop its world and main characters, but on the other, they have a built in reason to inject fresh blood and new stories that they just refuse to explore.

Lou is clearly the head of this ensemble show, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the ensemble can’t have a focus episode. Even in this, it wasn’t really Robby’s show so much as people talking about or to him. His dad lays the pressure on Lilette, Simon tells him not to fuck over Lilette, his teammates and coach rely…

Agreed. You’re much more likely to find intra-culture squabbles (football players who don’t like each other or drama kids jealous about having to sing choir) than inter-squabbles

So that look Quinn and Chet gave each other when Guy pandered to the camera meant he’s definitely not getting his restaurant, right?

Glad I wasn’t the only one who liked this episode. The seeds for Rachel’s story have been sown since the first season and dear god was the back-and-forth for Quinn and Gary awesome. Nice to show some continuity with Madison too. And finally, Serena made it a clean sweep for women kicking ass in this episode.

Part of what makes this show frustrating is that Coach Taylor was so good on FNL, both in terms of realism and moral upstandingness. To have Lou be portrayed as morally virtuous as Coach Taylor, but in actuality be a total suck who is such a boring White Guy Who Doesn’t Get It is infuriating. The amount of telling in…

So, Rachel’s rapist was gaslighting her, right? I mean, the father thing may be true, but are we supposed to believe that 12 year old Rachel saw whatever her mother and this guy were doing and decided she needed to bone this guy?

That is so weird, on multiple levels

Yeah, it’s not like the Lodges support minor women stripping the way the Serpents do. They at least give their daughter a traditional religious ceremony before they tell her to manipulate her boyfriend.

Jughead and FP: Hiram Lodge is a criminal because he guys property on the cheap

What we (are supposed to) want is to see these characters experience moral growth and stop hurting themselves and others. They may be too far to be redeemed in your eyes, but that certainly seems like the goal

This show is so much better when it focuses on characters instead of ideas. The stories are more organic, the details don’t get overwhelming, and when a sexy secret is shown, you know it’ll payoff. Right now there are too many ideas and there’s too little depth. 

If you want to make it fair, give her a second shot, but tell her it only counts if Rachel sleeps with Jeremy as well this season

Are you talking about her talking trash at the poker table? That’s pretty standard stuff. I think she was just a better poker player and poker is not the kind of game where it’s easy for a poor player to beat a better one, simply because poker is a number of games repeated over a significant length of time, which…

I assumed the donation was to get her to pick “NASCAR, but we don’t have the rights to say NASCAR” guy. Frankly, I kinda hope it was. She came onto this show as someone deadset on finding a husband, since she, like the rest of the viewing audience of Everlasting has successfully been sold that vision. To mix Quinn’s…
