Same...as its been made quite clear, and now verbalized by Mare herself, that she wasnt a very good mother.

Thank you.  That makes a lot of sense. I’m not sure why I didn’t think of that, but it does harken back to the first episode scene 1 when she told her to just call the main police # and not bother her.

Seriously, once I read “Rutgers,” I was out.

If Sharp Objects was going to go that slow they should have just Malick-ed it and had slo-mo shots of roller skating and wheat and shit

I didn’t want to call out Sharp Objects by name yet again, but yeah 100% this

I’ll just say while worries about the plot moving too quickly are certainly justified, I think it’s preferable to the ‘slowly stretch out a thin plot’ method that almost all of HBO’s post-Chernobyl short series have taken.

I also got the sense he was glossing over something. 

JEJ is clearly a bass.  Baritone - think Bing Crosby

Let me throw a name out there, chosen completely at random, as potential host:

Call me (or email/text preferably) when Aisha Tyler is behind the podium.

I feel like I’m one of the few who didn’t like Aaron Rodgers.  Seemed like a genuinely nice guy but for some reason his voice and delivery made me want to doze off.  And yeah, I’m at the point in my life where I can doze off at 7pm watching Jeopardy.

Deen really isn’t so bad. She came into my restaurant back in 2012 (right before the shit hit the fan with her) and was beyond cordial and nice. She was with a few of her lady friends (two white, one black) and treated the server with respect. This was in the south of Savannah, GA, and she left a $100 tip on a bill…

I’ve been making this same complaint as well. I also grew up in a small town (in New England) and generations of my family are from there (and some still there). But that doesn’t mean my mother knows everyone when she walks into a grocery store. It’s silly.

The whole interconnectedness of the town creates some minor stylistic clashes. Mare seems to know everybody as if this is some dark Pennsylvania version of the Andy Griffith Show, but the general vibe of the setting leans heavy into that of a post industrial town big enough to contain tens of thousands of people. Most…

Rory Scovel being in this is more than enough for me to check this out.

Heh I can get how you feel that.

Did we just become best friends?

All the townie men look pretty much the same. I had no idea who shot Dylan until I read this.

Yeah, apparently the USN got a little antsy when some of the Los Angeles class sets got a little too accurate for their liking - even though most of the design was based on speculation, or extrapolation from outdated boats. Open-Source Intel, as they’d call it today.
