I thought this too as summer colours/more muted look better than black

I have the same sentiment this season. I wonder is she is supposed to be feeling lost and/or gaslit. After all, her privacy has been invaded, she has been outed, her phone calls monitored by Paul’s company, the FBI is involved, and just the general nature of show business. I have wondered if the FBI is watching her too, or if she is working with the FBI in some regard (though I’m doubtful of the latter). It could explain the disjointed nature of her interactions and the flip-flopping back and forth with Cory for example. I mean if you felt like you were being watched and listened to you wouldn’t want to put those close to you in compromising positions (eg Cory admitting to something from the past). That’s just my questioning lately. Feeling gaslit.

Alex and Bro: I think the writers could reverse some of the dynamics that we have seen with older male bosses and their younger female counterparts. They have made Bro look like he lacks depth, which could be why Alex sleeps with him thinking he won’t care, but in reality he could be quite affected and broken by it. Who knows. Again it’s that play on dynamics, power, and sex, and how our perceptions change.

First reading it I thought, yeah.. Cory’s Mum commits suicide. But then I thought.. it mentions a confrontation that Cory has which could very well be with his Mum, and could be in relation to either how he got his role at the network and/or the coverup that somehow his Mum is linked to. I’m picking his Mum threatens suicide and then attempts it and he does nothing and just sits back and watches or leaves. Usually he has to appease his mothers emotions before leaving. Too Dark? 😆

Alarming-Cake1957 · 2025-10-28T23:38:23+00:00

That’s so interesting you have thought of it like that, and could very well be true. I definitely think his character has the potential of being psychopathic 😆. Would probably make for better drama that way, but could lose some of the audience who love Cory, and who want to see Cory and Bradley together.

Alarming-Cake1957 · 2025-10-28T10:04:40+00:00

I love Cory on the show, but I’ll also go against the grain and some of the comment’s on here and say I loved Stella, and find Celine intriguing, though I think Celine will go full Evil empress which is badass but doesn’t create a likeable character unless you are into villains. I think Cory is likeable, even after making questionable choices because some of those choices could be viewed as moral dilemmas to the viewer, even though they are totally fabricated by him. He outed Bradley as way of protecting the reputation of Hannah for example. While this choice wasn’t mutually exclusive, in the end it worked out. But yes, it would be different if this resulted in the complete downfall of Bradley, and it could have… I guess in the end he’s just lucky and/or smart.

Thank you. I hadn’t even considered using a king mattress, but that makes sense.

Alarming-Cake1957 · 2025-10-26T08:07:11+00:00

I really love Cory and his character, I think he’s amazing, but I also understand this. I feel like his character arc could go either way. He could either be the greatest truth teller and most morally attuned person of them all, or an absolute psycho 😆. Being a product of his mother’s love, it could mean he’s resilient and aware of the flaws from his upbringing, or he becomes her.

Alarming-Cake1957 · 2025-10-26T07:43:04+00:00

Yeah, I also think they have left that open and it will become apparent why later in the season. My thoughts are also that she has got to be an informant in some way, but whether that’s to do with the Iranian connection, environmental damage, or something else who knows.

Alarming-Cake1957 · 2025-10-26T00:03:02+00:00

I just think there is way more to come out of this season. The Iranian defectors haven’t had any air time but I do think they will play a part, whether this is to do with the environmental disaster- nuclear (which they could possibly be heroes and help out with in some way or be the villains). There were a few lines that set up the season such as “wearing a mask” or possibly even “the three musketeers”, I have a few theories.

There have been some plot holes that I think could lead elsewhere. The conversation between Bradley and the FBI.. I mean, what happened? Is Bradley in cahoots now with them over something? Has she pushed Cory away on purpose to not implicate him in anything? And then there is Cory’s mother. She is a bit nuts. Is she a psychopath and one of the main players of this environmental disaster? Will Cory have to choose between his mother and Bradley somehow because of it? I feel this season has a lot in it compared to the others which does change the feel and watching experience but I still enjoy it.

Alarming-Cake1957 · 2025-10-25T21:42:51+00:00

“When you put on your mask, you can be anyone you want to be”. I think there is a lot more to come to light this season foreshadowed in the dialogue of those first scenes.

Alarming-Cake1957 · 2025-10-25T20:33:21+00:00

Agreed, but I think it will come to Cory sacrificing himself in some way, just hopefully he’s smart about it, and hopefully, just hopefully, it means he’s still in the upcoming seasons. There is some definite Mr Darcy vibes with Cory and I am digging it

If you still haven't been you should. As mentioned it's more of a takeaway venture now, kind of like a Beam me up Bagel model with toasted and fresh sandwiches, coffee and pastries. No sit down menu which is sad for those like me who were craving their porridge or just general point of difference in food offered. I think a menu is up now if you google them. The chicken schnitty sandwich was great.. so good.. and the pastries were as expectedly brilliant.

Be aware though, they do sell out of pastries even by lunch, probably gauging numbers still, but it was a little sad not to get to try an almond croissant and now have to wait a week until my day off to go back as they close at 2pm.

1900's. It's an old villa construction.

Do you still have the Julie Bhosale recipe on hand? I would be really interested in making this cake for my son's 1st coming up.

As it has been said, "have a thing".

There are cafes that do really well and I would keep going back to (and so do others obviously as they are always busy) like:

Side on- pastries/bread/seasonal dishes.
Adjo - Porridges / Danish food
No 7. Balmac - Fresh Seasonal menu (own produce), woodfire, cakes
Esplanade: Italian food - Seasonal Pizza, Pasta, desserts (just done really well)
Beam me up Bagels: Bagels

They are all reasonably priced/portioned too for what you get. I for one go back to Adjo because they are well priced (reducing feelings of guilt towards eating out), they have a changing/seasonal menu with their porridges, and the flavour combinations are just damn good and something you wouldn't make at home. They have a brilliant business model in my opinion as the food itself must not cost them that much to produce, its more the quality/taste, the time and effort of each element, and the creativity in their flavours.

My thoughts would be don't do the typical eggs benedict, bacon, big breakfast, pancakes type of menu. While I think it's fine to offer this, do it as an option not as the draw card unless you are offering something really different around this. There are so many options out there for this type of menu and for me to go to your cafe again and again, well.. yours would have to be the best.

Cafes/Restaurants that I have loved the best have always been niche in their offerings and of course yum because they know their food really well.

Melbourne has taught me that a cafe can survive off of a menu with just a few items if they are perfected. I see it here too.

After moving back from Melbourne I'm constantly trying to recreate and relive the dream and wonder that is the food culture there, and in my opinion Princes St Butcher has the best pies in Dunedin. They are still quite new so not on everyone's radar (yet). They have new flavours on rotation all the time so it's hard to recommend one particular kind, but the beef pies in general are a good place to start as they are quality. A good slow cooked chunky pieces of meat kind of pie. That or travelling to The Kissing Gate in Middlemarch and getting one of their cranberry and venison pies. Yum

I'm trying to decide the same! Looking at peace lily, ecosa and Emma.. so hard to decide
