I NEVER thought of Betty as being 'smothering'. Just the opposite, cold and push-away.

Yes, yes, I understand that. But they had their chance. They screwed up. They failed at life. I'm not saying they should go to jail, I'm saying let them keep their money and memories and fade away. Careers over. The. End. Give someone ELSE a chance (and yes, yes, I understand the new unproven batch will be no…

No. I don't think she's wanted or needed or deserves a 'return'. For crissakes, let's leave all the druggies and losers behind, shall we? They have already been richly rewarded for their efforts, let us move on to new talent.

I love Joan Crawford in Berserk! There she is head of the World's Largest Circus with a million animals and a million performers, and she's fixated on her young trapeze artiste stud who wears spangled tights…Circuses with animals would cost WAY too much. A carnival, however, is smaller and within budget, and there…

yes. She's really good, she was in the first season (don't know about the second). This show is noted for focussing on women, and minorities, and the odd folk in society. Not big strong strapping white men saving the day.

Carnivale was supposed to end in the 1940's in the Southwest. With the explosion of the atom bomb, Magic disappeared.

Maybe a nice haunted house would suit you better? Maybe voodoo iPads? Evil politicians, for crissake (someone actually suggested that). What do YOU think would be a good premise?

Relevant to who? Carnivals and circuses are a classic theme. They can be the creepiest, weirdest places on earth. They can be a metaphor. They have FREAKS. And clowns. (I think fondly of "Carnivale", the best HBO series EVER - though there were no clowns, thank god.) Just because now people sit and stare into…

I don't know how much time passed since Fiona left and came back, maybe a few months - but I don't think that was meant to be "old age" makeup. Chemo and cancer will ruin your looks pretty fast. Can't account for the white teeth. Dentures?

Yes! probably her favorite over the top classic designer "Balenciaga!"

Balenciaga!!!!!

It would be awesome. The acting out, yes, but the idea of a Hell Circus - a circus is a sinister thing, as is a carnival (Carnivale, anyone?). I hope they don't decide "well, a circus show would get awfully expensive". They could have a low-rent circus. Lots of freaks, no animals, do sort of a Val Lewton 'use your…

The little silent movie explaining them last week was enchanting, though.

Oooo, Jeffrey DeMunn ("Dale") is in it, too. Sort of a TWD spinoff. A dull, failed spinoff.

You do realize in prison you must make do, a microwave rather than a Viking stainless steel gas range.

That sounds toxic and unsanitary, the plastic would melt. Better to wrap it in a damp paper towel. I'm neither a stripper nor nice, but cooking in a plastic grocery bag sounds like something a hobo would do, if a hobo had a microwave oven.
