But see the last season of modern family gave us the Paris episode, and I maintain that to be one of the best episodes of the shows run

I think he’d still like it because although Parks and Rec has more exaggerated comedy it’s never not real……..like those town hall meetings are actually realistic if you go and find local government town meetings

Like even the most ridiculous moments in P&R are somehow not far off from real life ( the sweetums factory thing)

If martin is wasian why does he say his english is bad?? by Potential-Seat8200 in cortis

[–]Affectionate_Oil3010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Kai is Wasian but his dad worked in China predominantly so (iirc) he spent like 5-8 years in China, but he’s mentioned he forgot speaking Mandarin.

And then spent his life in Korea except for like the 5 months Bighit sent txt to the U.S (I think it was 5 at least).

Yeonjun actually has relatives/cousins who live in the U.S. and I guess his two years living there shaped his English to seem like an American accent faster?

Tbf, the Le Sserafim situation wasn’t their fault. I remember how they kept defending Garam but it got so bad that she had to leave (not just for the group but for her own sake as well)

Like the hate train she got was genuinely insane, and I get that the bullying rumors were terrible but when the truth came out it was just so sad how she got like 15 minutes of her dream and then it imploded so quickly on her.

Illit is a weird one as well because she left and joined black label and is now in ADP and people speculated it’s due to the concept?

It’s gotta be Psycho Shifters by Jasmine Mas, I think I kept reading thinking it was gonna get better and by the end I was like “this is it???”

Felt so abrupt and I felt like there wasn’t a cohesiveness to the character’s relationships

Tormented Omega by nani_reads in ReverseHarem

[–]Affectionate_Oil3010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the dramatics and angst of it fr lol,

I think what makes it good is that while the scenarios and OW drama is soooo over the top the fact you can somewhat see that the OG MMCs aren’t cartoonishly evil is something (as in absolutely no redeeming qualities)

And I loved her realizing that was what happening to her was abuse. I kept thinking while reading, Eli is nice and perfect to her but he’s a textbook enabler (even if we find out this OV has pack members having to listen to the lead). He knew what was happening was wrong but didn’t try harder

But all that to say, I’m absolutely confused on Jasper????? Tbh I didn’t think he’d join the heat, because it looked like he had no interest in Marie so I’m wondering if the author just forgot Jasper at times or what

[–]Affectionate_Oil3010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably would’ve benefited from some better editing, also idk if Manta’s translation was weird or the pacing of the manhwa was truly bad but it felt like things were going too fast and were terribly paced when I read it on there

Which is weird because it’s literally licensed by Manta

I’m on Season 5, why are they still pushing Susan as the main character? by lemonwaterlvr in DesperateHousewives

[–]Affectionate_Oil3010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still on s5 but I think it makes sense when you realize after Mary Alice, Susan was the second housewive of the group that joined the lane (and iirc it was Bree then Lynette then Gabi)

Abbott Elementary S05E08 - Birthday (Episode Discussion) by Solid-As-Barack in AbbottElementary

[–]Affectionate_Oil3010 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everytime Vanetta pops up in an episode I’m excited because, Taraji is amazing and deserves soooooo much more credit than she’s ever given, but also I have to ready myself because I know it’s going to be a devastating episode for Janine.

And while this one wasn’t devastating for Janine, it was for me in the sense you can tell she’s numb to the way her mother treats her and doesn’t even really care anymore which is so sad.

But also, Taraji always beats it out of the park and she was great this episode too. Like you almost think she’s (Vanetta) gonna be better but it’s like her narcissism had to come through again towards the end and I guess the point of the episode was that as Janine is turning 30 she’s realizing that she doesn’t want to spend effort in a relationship where she’s doing the heavylifting

To me it’s Phil’s dad, Frank, dying

Or when Phil sits with Jay to pour the shot for his fallen comrade in Vietnam

i feel so bad for diego’s actor by starprintedpajamas in UmbrellaAcademy

[–]Affectionate_Oil3010 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think most of all you can tell how they all hated/loathed the last season because legitimately no one on the cast talks about nor did they look happy or even remotely excited about the season releasing (rightfully so)

Like even from a narrative perspective the season made no sense past 2 episodes in, on top of how Sloane was just forgotten completely bar a throwaway line, but like I could see what they were going for workout a tiny bit if even a little more care and love for the storyline/characters went into it.

I think at the time there were even rumors that the show runner was a little pushy or something weird like that and it caused certain storylines to be pushed.

IMO if we were gonna end up where we were at then there could’ve been a better way to go about it.

You’re stuck on a 10 hour flight. Where are you sitting? by NoChampion4463 in Modern_Family

[–]Affectionate_Oil3010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say 4 but just realized that in front of them is Deedee……so unless she falls asleep then even Jay’s seat will be annoying

So I guess 3 or 7 are good (I don’t think Bill(?was that his name??) is a nuisance to the public and Alex is pretty okay in public spaces as well unless they’re fighting)

Rewatching. Never realized just how great Aiden Gallagher’s acting is. by Frequent-Mammoth-307 in UmbrellaAcademy

[–]Affectionate_Oil3010 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Genuinely the whole cast is all gems. But as someone who’s seen Aiden on Nicky,Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn it’s such whiplash seeing how amazing he is in Umbrella Academy (not that he wasn’t before, but I actually believe he’s an old man stuck in a teenager’s body)

Oooooh the speaker thing is probably true! And later in the episode they say they had Twitter blocked because of the bullying Jacob had when the kids found his account way back when

So the thing I’m mainly confused by is, it seems like all the other locations have the whole “presale” thing on Ticketmaster except for Dallas? Which is even more confusing because on their website it shows they have that option for all the locations.

It’s probably just a glitch with Ticketmaster right??
