Are Jonah's tattoos made with sharpie...?
Yael is so merciless. She even smiled as she hit. That was the first time I laughed out loud in Degrassi and I pretty much watched the entire franchise before this!
The Neil Gaiman guest appearance totally made my morning :)
I thought this was the best episode in the season so far.
Aah, now we're getting back on track! I am very happy with this episode.
I had to Google to find out whether scooter ball was a thing or not, and it turns out it is.
"I am my ancestors' wildest dreams."
Seriously? Most people from outside the U.S. are familiar with American holidays, be it Columbus Day or Martin Luther day, or the biggest of all, Thanksgiving. But even though I have studied in an American university and have tons of American friends, I had never before heard of Juneteenth. The underrepresentation of the holiday seems pretty obvious. I think it must be very bold for the show to reivindicate it, and they did it beautifully. If there is one flaw to it, it is that they set an incredibly high bar for the rest of the season, the episode was amazing! And definitely very educational. Also, I loved Aloe Blacc's participation as a guest, he is a fantastic musician!
There were some good moments, some meh moments, and the overall episode felt "just ok" to me. But I feel positive it will improve :) There's just a little dusting to be done!
I am too sad for Drake. But I agree with the users who said Rita's ending was not right. I get that she would want to kill her dad, but I do not see why Major could not have pulled her up.
And the bit about the singer Rob Thomas... I have to say I loved it, despite the terrible pun. I just love his music :)
As a fan of the book, I was only disappointed at how they had erased the killer's background, and consequently, the real reasons behind the murder, which were so much more complex than simply defending Celeste out of instinct. I enjoy the added touch of how the group comes to be close friends after, and that wonderful feeling of sisterhood, a great story of women coming together to fight oppression and win! This was something that did not happen in the novel, but it worked well with the TV series.
I was excited to learn Emily Browning was playing Laura in the show, even though the character has few parts in the book. Seeing this episode with sole focus on her backstory just made so happy, and Browning was great in it. She's definitely playing Laura brilliantly and I cannot wait to see more!
I will miss this show so much. The ending sequence with Toby Regbo and highlights of Mary's life was beautiful, and Elizabeth's speech downing armor was awesome! I'm not sure about how things ended for France, it felt like such a cliffhanger. Still, I'm mostly pleased with the finale, despite being upset for not having more seasons.
Rachel Skarsten's performance on the scene in which Elizabeth accuses Jane was so good! The way she moved, was so much like a tiger, her dancing background really showed, it was pure grace. I really hope she gets a new show soon, she has been amazing in Reign, and will be the one of the actors I will miss the most.
A lot of shade, a lot of drama, some very beautiful looks, and finding out Valentina is a sociopath - not an insult, just a fact.
For once, it ended exactly as it should have. Everyone was wonderful!
And to think I began this season hating on Trinity, now I really love her! And Peppermint, who was my first favorite is still standing strong too (and I don't think the fabric critique was fair, as I think questionable fabric choices and bad cuts are part of her brand, according to what has been presented in previous runways, hahaha).
Once more I'm left annoyed at the bottom two though. 3rd bottom escaped AGAIN, that's three weeks of underwhelming performances in a role with no a lipsync. I feel she's been favored over queens that had more interesting things to show, and I don't understand why.
So. Miss Week's Eliminated was very very aware of how big a risk she was in to lipsync. And yet she lounged around and made a point not to learn the song when everyone else, even the ones who got big praises, did. Girl, you better explain yourself. Yout let a lot of fans down because of this little arrogant act there.
Well. Wasn't that upsetting? Sincerely, if the other lipsyncing queen had gone home, it would also have been an unfair waste. I think Eliminated queen got too cocky after being constantly showered in compliments and behaved a little arrogantly by not learning the song, but to be fair, I don't think either of them really did so badly as the one who barely escaped. Miss Lucky getting spared by her team's overall performance right after trying to throw them under the bus was ridiculous. She should have gone home after bombing AGAIN and appearing with another BASIC look.
Now, bitterness discussed, can we talk about Trinity? She's been consistently surprising me. She isn't afraid of taking risks, of taking characters, of trying anything that is put in front of her. That one is a force to be reckoned with simply due to her sheer nerve. I feel that she doesn't even blink when taking on a challenge, she just tackles it! She is really growing on me.
Edit: after watching Untucked, the Eliminated's situation turned even more bitter to me. She was extremely aware that lipsyncing was a real possibility, and yet didn't prepare herself. Which is specially bad after getting read on her challenge because she hadn't prepare herself for that either. Girl, you got some explaining to do there. Was arrogance going over your head? You're pretty alright, but since [i]when[/i] has beauty ever been enough in this competition?! You need something to back it up.
Despite not being on the show for long, Darnley has definitely risen up to my number one most hated character in the show. Most of Mary's enemies are hateful, of course, but at least they're clever. Darnley is just petty.
Although I remember clearly how full games would fit into a single floppy disc (my at the time favorite, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, for instance!), I kinda have to wonder if yearbooks with pictures and captions would really take only one disc when my school projects needed a lot of editing not to get bigger than 1.44mb when pictures where included.
Funny nostalgia there, which is definitely what I enjoy the most about this show :) I do wish Rowan Blanchard had more screen time though, I think she's great.
Each episode gets better and better, and yet this will be the final season. Ugh!
I think Zoe's college life will be the first fun and interesting college experience arc ever to appear in family sitcoms. At least this episode was very promising!
I love how the people Kamau interviews are either absolutely awesome and inspiring or absolutely terrifying,
Ugh, James had been my favorite character, an excellent replacement for Bash. I hope either or both comes back. Now, Henry looks older than Charles. that's a little weird.
I love doing long, in-depth comments, but I just don't have a lot to say about this episode. Snatch Game was just ok - Trinity and Sasha looked good just because the others were so overwhelmingly bland. I mean, they weren't even so bad it was funny, it was just awkward bad. And the runway was the same, nobody was awesome. NOT A SINGLE PERSON GOT THE RIGHT SHADE OF BLONDE FOR MADONNA. 2 people attempted Material Girl and looked like Marilyn Monroe, which means they totally missed the basic 80'sness of the video. I was mostly unimpressed and I'm not even a hardcore Madonna fan.
However... however... that lipsync was good entertainment. Congrats, queen, for slaying it!
I love how they're taking Ofglen and giving her a plot explored separately from Offred's. Everything in The Handmaid's Tale is Offred's own account, and other characters barely exist when out of her sight, so this was a nice way to add further depth to the story. Will they use Nick in the same way, I wonder?
I don't think I've ever given the Kardashians more than a passing glance as their pictures tend to pop up a lot, but less so when you aren't in social media like me. This Kardashian musical is awesome though, and I would actually pay a ticket to watch it live! This RPDR episode was particularly enjoyable not just for the great entertainment of the performance, but also because there was a lot less bickering than usual. Everyone was actually pleasant and civil towards each other (at least in the episode, who knows what we'll see on Untucked).
You know, I totally get Nina. Sulking is fine, and some of us do it, and we can't help it. I know it's a horrible attitude and bums everyone out and all, but... I sure can't help it, and apparently neither can Nina. The difference between me and her though, is that she at least tries to deliver despite personal objections, so I give her mad props for that alone. I really hope she'll recover from this low, because she's totally awesome in everything she WANTS to do.
I also totally get Farrah Moan - I also completely lack coordination and stage presence, but then again, I didn't make that into my line of work. I want to like her because she's so cute, but cute isn't enough.
That elimination thought - NOT EXPECTED. But I'm looking forward to next season, because as many personality flaws this queen had, SHE DELIVERED!
I'm shipping Sue and Sean so hard, I think they'd be very cute. Annoying, but cute.
I hope Jay was paid extra for that.
I'm just loving this season so much! For once I'm enjoying every plot and sub-plot.
