OMG, getting Merritt Wever would be amazing.  She is fantastic in everything she's in and she convincingly resembles Liv Hewson (the actress who plays Van).

*Thank you*. It’s driving me NUTS how people keep defending his terrible behavior to both Natalie and Javi. As if being male in the 90s is carte blanche for acting like a jerk off.

True. But it still could still be both things: Lottie is alive but Can could be running the modern day cult. I wouldn’t put it past the show to do such a red herring considering the Adam/Javi tease. A good portion of viewers thought that was an obvious potline but it turned out to be the opposite.

LoL...yup. The name of the actress who plays Van is Liv Hewson. I was mixing up the names. Thank you. :-)

Eaton was one of Immortan Joe’s wives* in “Mad Max: Fury Road”. I only bring this up because of the height thing. The movie literally cast all these insanely tall*, willowy models to play each 'wife'.

Shannyn Sossomon is a fantastic pick for Lottie.

I think Lottie IS alive, and the show wants us to *think* that she’s behind Natalie’s kidnapping (and by extension, the modern day cultists).

I’d normally completely agree with everything you said, but I’m also factoring in Travis’ non-Natalie based behavior too.

I’d normally agree with you 100%, but Travis has been a jerk to Natalie for awhile.

Being told you’re just like Misty IS a compliment, Leila. Misty is the best...that is a hill I’m willing to die on. ;-)

I actually *have* seen the original SATC - including the sex scenes.

I also immediately thought of Carrie’s stiletto fetish when she first brought up her chronic back pain. Girl, you’ve been wearing nothing but miniature stilts on your feet for 30+ years. Managing that daily is going to make you hold your body unnaturally. Hence, chronic back pain.

That IG post confirmed my long-held belief that Diesel has the mentality of a teenage dilettante and he’s clearly jealous of Johnson. The ‘Dwayne Johnson as the US president’ chatter probably drive Diesel into a frenzy.

Just coming here to mention to you that the Sanderson books are *fantastic*. He does an excellent job of respecting Jordan’s writing style while (credibly and efficiently) resolving all the major plot points.

Well, the show is about the women’s relationships with each other. Any other relationship is going to be secondary to the narrative.

Ha!  Wrong show. ;-)

I’m legitimately torn. While Sorkin is someone I find to be insufferable (so I take his defense of Strong with a grain of salt), I am a BIG fan of both Chastain and Hathaway both personally and professionally. So for them to defend Strong makes me reconsider the article. Because I *did* exit that article thinking…

I’m not a Snyder cultist by *any* stretch*, but I give him credit for wanting to try something different in the proposed sequels. So many people (myself included) often complain that the superhero-movie landscape often seems to run by template or corporate committee. And based on his alleged sequel notes, Snyder was…

I can forgive the show’s characters infrequently contacting family members. Not everyone is close with their biological family. And I can see a group of New Yorkers being closer with their friends instead of blood family. Which ties into this show’s theme of friends being the most important thing.

The article clearly states that they want her to withdraw because she’s perpetuating a false narrative, via both her show and non-profit, that rape kits are backlogged because of lack of money and not due to police inaction (the real culprit).
