I *love* Confessions of a Shopaholic. It’s hard to make that sort of character likable, but Fisher totally nails it. And her chemistry with Hugh Dancy was terrific.

Not that I’m a Nicki Minaj apologist (I find her to be frustratingly anti-woman despite her claims to be a feminist) but her Twitter is labeled “Mrs. Petty” because that’s her *actual* married last name. Her husband’s name is Kenneth Petty.

Chris Evans has always been much more intellectual than people give him credit for. It just didn’t help that he looks like *that* - and I also think people assumed his performance as Johnny Storm (in the Fantastic Four movies) was his actual personality rather than performance.

Thanks for the clarification. That was legit helpful. :-)

Someone else also mentioned the rules of a cross-examination. Although I maintain the judge still should’ve called out his hostility.

Gotcha - thanks for the headsup (re: rules of cross examination). Although shouldn’t the judge have called out Fernando for his hostility?  That was crazy how he was allowed to say all those things to her.

I also wondered about the presentation of Jonathan’s mother - for the same reasons you raised.

Yup. I was just coming here to post the same.

While I believe Jonathan did also sleep with Sylvia, I think Elena is supposed to be the only one whose a mother to a child he has treated.

I absolutely agree with you that Sylvia is the murderer. And not only did she kill Elena, she’s also the other woman Jonathan slept with.

So we have a relationship where the man started dating the woman when she was SIXTEEN and he was THIRTY. And he was also her teacher to boot. And said relationship was covered up.

She should’ve been cast in the Furiosa prequel.

Beyond the absurdity and grossness of Chloe’s relationship, what stands out to me is that she’s never had a chance to learn what she really requires in a LTR. From 16 to 30+, she’s been with a man nearly twice her age, so she never had the opportunity to use dating to figure out what characteristics in both a partner…

Sure thing . Cool, babe.

There’s nothing to “reframe”: I’ve maintained from my first comment that you’re unable to display empathy to Raniere’s victims. You weaponized your lack of empathy within a humblebrag (of how you were too smart to fall for his manipulations).

And that’s well within your right to be unbothered. However, you opened yourself up to criticism by both publicly commenting on the issue via your inability to show any empathy to the women who were truly harmed by this cult.

I don’t buy that you attended the sessions. Considering your stridency in your original statements, one would think you would have been more than happy to volunteer this info earlier in order to point out how much smarter you were then those you criticized.

It’s pretty appalling that you can so easily couch-quarterback and show little-to-no empathy for what was a very harrowing experience.

I'm a Chicagoan too. And I've NEVER heard cheering like this. Its incredible, actually. 

I can’t speak on the Pruitt ridicule allegations, as I had never seen anything like that outside of the online story he posted. But it’s well known that Sophia Crawford handled the bulk of the stunts during her tenure on the show. In fact, when she was dismissed, they had to switch to two different stunt people.
