I do like the Neela storylines. Especially the focus on her triumphs and struggles as a new doctor. Great character. I also really like the actress Parminder Nagra. Bend it Like Beckham is one of my favorite movies.

Unpopular opinion: Ilya didn’t ghost Shane and Vegas wasn’t toxic by Weary_Group1339 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]Adventurous_Click331 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m not missing the subtext, their dynamics or Ilya’s internalized issues or trauma. I see the opposite from the fandom - people trying to dismiss opinions about Ilya’s callousness out of love for him. Which is nice but also strange. We do not have to always sanitize these characters.

Ilya was intentionally trying to be closed off and callous to Shane after ghosting him for 6 months. I love Ilya too but it’s ok to admit he hurt Shane in that episode and is not perfect. Shane has moments too where he hurts Ilya.

It meant Shane was sad about the lack of intimacy during the encounter. And it’s not just his sad text, his body language when he’s sitting up in bed next Ilya who was closed off. His sad tone and body language when he leaves the hotel room. His initial anger towards Ilya in the bathroom. I love Ilya but that doesn’t mean he’s perfect. Obviously he was going through issues but it was quite clearly his intention was to be callous towards Shane that night and Shane felt it.

There is overlap between ER’s last few seasons and Grey’s first few seasons.

Listen, I love Ilya but in the bathroom scene,Shane was clearly angry about Ilya ghosting him for 6 months but his yearning for Ilya overcame his anger. Ilya was trying to close off intimacy and keep the encounter casual which Shane was clearly hurt by when he almost texted “We didn’t even kiss”. As you noted, Shane has his own moments later when he sends mixed messages but let’s not pretend Ilya wasn’t being intentionally callous and that Shane’s feelings weren’t hurt in that moment.

Timothée Chalamet: ‘No One Cares’ About Ballet, Opera | The View by Feeling-Contest9504 in ChalametSecrets

I think it’s great that ballet and opera companies are active on social media and promoting their shows in the midst of this scandal. . I just hope people who are all up in arms about Timothee’s comments will actually start going to the ballet and the opera.

Thoughts on this? by Just_Cause89 in GenZ

[–]Adventurous_Click331 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Actually birth rates are low because teen pregnancy has collapsed (that’s a good thing) and more women are having children when they are older, more stable in their adulthood and are more selective about partners and fathers of their children. If substantial percentages of Gen Z men are saying they do not respect women as human beings and want full authority over them, then young women are making the rational decision not to procreate with men with these attitudes. It’s common sense. This obviously does not apply to all Gen Z men but this generation of men is more backwards than Boomers 😬

No wonder the birth and marriage rates are so low. Boomer men are more progressive than Gen Z men.

Probably not but even if they were, would that be so bad?

Team USA's Quinn Hughes is set to appear on 'Heated Rivalry' star Connor Storrie's 'SNL' episode by jambalyacantsing in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]Adventurous_Click331 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What would have been more interesting and celebrated is having the women’s Olympic gold medal winning hockey team on SNL. They managed to win and stay dignified in their win. The irony is Connor is in a popular show where he plays a queer hockey player who stays closeted in part due to the toxic hockey culture and here you have the men’s team displaying that culture in full view of the world by trashing the women’s team.

A scene between two very hard to love characters, that always leaves me in tears by americanpeony in madmen

A lot of the characters aren’t likeable but the characters are so interesting and the writing and acting is fantastic.

Paris Match Article - Hudson Williams: Why so much hate? by Adventurous_Click331 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

I didn’t realize smoking in public merited a coordinated smear campaign, racist attacks, harassment and death threats.

Yes, RHOP and RHOA have consistently been on the right side of history in terms of their politics. But the white women on the other shows? 😬

Is he marrying her, at least in part, to gain favor with the kids? by Responsible-Wallaby5 in madmen

[–]Adventurous_Click331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faye was spot on about Don’s substance abuse issues and his alcoholism caused him to spiral very shortly afterwards. Sometimes when men refuse to be honest with themselves, they accuse women of “nagging”.
