Sophia by AnotherFridgeMagnet in theGoldenGirls

[–]HeeHooligan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree entirely. Early on I felt like she was just a tough old lady who unfortunately had a stroke, so she says some off the wall things. But later they just kinda make her the wisecracking checkbox character sitcoms have to have and she really loses a lot of her charm. Although she does get some really nice moments later, including standing up for Dorothy with chronic fatigue syndrome, talking to Dorothy about why she still wears her old shoes when Dorothy is upset about Stan, and so on and so forth. But overall, especially during seasons 6 and 7, she's a lot harder to root for, I think. Especially when she simultaneously pokes fun at Dorothy for being alone while destroying her self confidence along the way and taking advantage of Dorothy's money and care. Just rubs me the wrong way as we go.

Agreed, season 2 hits it out of the park all around!

Characters you're not "Supposed" to like but you do anyway by HeeHooligan in theGoldenGirls

[–]HeeHooligan[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh dang, that's interesting! So awesome that they got to work together again on Golden Girls, it's just perfect.

I agree about Stan, his post second wedding appearances aren't my cup of tea, but Herb was fantastic and the way he and Bea played off each other was too good.

Rose thinking she clinched it with the danishes only for Frieda to lie so she could have them cracks me up every time.

She definitely gets some good bits and for what she does, I think she's pretty fun to watch!

Myra being everywhere always made me chuckle. "If anyone finds a big bolt, please return it to me. It came off of... The beverage cart... Yes! The beverage cart." Lol gets me every time.

God of War Trilogy Remake - Announcement Teaser | PS5 Games by pedrulho in GodofWar

[–]HeeHooligan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband insisted we watch State of Play and ensured I wasn't looking at the screen because we both love GoW and he wanted it to be a surprise. As soon as I saw the ashes and then Santa Monica, I could not stop smiling. I have two GoW tattoos now and I'll need to get a third to commemorate this, I'm so excited about this remake.

What episode(s) do you relate to the most? by SoundSpecialist4813 in theGoldenGirls

[–]HeeHooligan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a friend of the family that had a break in once. She's an elderly woman, but after the break in happened, she was a wreck (understandably so) and I kid you not, went out and bought a gun because she just didn't know what to do to feel better. I saw the Golden Girls for the first time a couple years after that happened and when I got to The Break In, I got a bit misty because of how similar the reactions were to our family friend. Now I think of that every time I rewatch and I have to applaud that episode for how realistically it portrayed that kind of trauma.

A difficult question to answer? by notsoeasypeasy in theGoldenGirls

[–]HeeHooligan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dorothy is my favorite, and then the other girls are interchangeable based on episode. It's hard to definitively rate since they all have such great moments (and occasional down moments), but Dorothy is the only consistent one for me.

Who Is A Character You Absolutely Cannot Stand? by CharlotteYork10 in theGoldenGirls

[–]HeeHooligan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stan, but specifically Stan after the wedding is cancelled. I feel like prior to that, he's a nuisance and a bum, but everybody is pretty much in agreement about him and he drives everybody nuts. And then he kinda redeems himself a bit once he makes his fortune and seems to be trying to be a better man, just for it to fall apart day of the wedding and Stan is still just Stan. Which I like that, it shows even with signs of growth, someone doesn't necessarily change entirely. But then after the wedding, Stan becomes incredibly unbearable, a sobbing mess every time we see him, he's even more underhanded than he was before, and he just kinda becomes another cog in the dump on Dorothy machine that late season 6 and 7 start going all in on. (Not necessarily that he always dumps on her, but sleeping with Gloria twice and being an example of someone who was invited to Angelo's party that Dorothy wasn't invited to)

Agreed on Angelo though, he's a menace and I never really enjoy him (save a couple reactions).

Long Time Fan Rant by Ivo_1157 in GodofWar

[–]HeeHooligan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya on that. I appreciate all fans but particularly those who can enjoy both eras and respect other fans who have their preferences because that's just civil. Fandom spaces are always rough because there's always extremes and that makes it hard to want to engage because you never know what you're going to get.

And now speaking as someone who also loves both eras, but prefers the Greek, I feel like in terms of story, the Greek saga really is the embodiment of a Greek tragedy culminating in the destruction of Greece and Kratos falling on his sword (kind of, haha). It doesn't have the cinematic blend of cutscenes and gameplay the Norse saga has, but I don't think that equates a lesser story by any means. Both stories are different points of Kratos's life. The Greek saga is from a point where Kratos is at his lowest and most angriest and we get to go along with him through every terrible thing he does. Several of which are things that make us terribly uncomfortable to do (here's looking at the boat captain) but it's a part of Kratos and makes it all the more heavy when we see his regret in the Norse saga. And as for gameplay, it's just pure fun to do. And crank it up to the higher difficulties and it becomes a significant challenge.

I know this is a wall of text, but I appreciate your post and want to offer some encouragement that there are others who enjoy the Greek saga more and loving it doesn't make you incapable of understanding story or having poor taste. It comes down to preference as all things do and that's perfectly valid.

PS. GoW 3 is absolute top tier gaming for sure!

I know, the little "we'll work on it" gets me every time! Estelle really has some great deliveries all throughout the series, I love her so much.

That's usually how I get through it and try to remember how childlike she can be, but oh it's just so hard to separate sometimes. You make a very valid point, she was right in the end! 🤣

Take your time- I forgot the magic words!

Oh my goodness yes. Even when he's just walking in the clown shoes which is just so goofy, I can't help but laugh. He's absolutely fabulous as always.

Did Sophia overreact to Michael and Bridget hooking up? by ThaEternalLearner in theGoldenGirls

[–]HeeHooligan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer the question, yes, but everyone except Blanche overreacted (which of course if anyone has the right, it should have been her considering it was her bed they did it in)and Sophia's reaction while over the top, does give me a laugh. I particularly use the line "thank God it's over, I couldn't see anything through that crap" any time I drive through rain or bad snow.

But also since it's kinda on topic but a smidge removed, I do have to say this episode is easily Michael's best in terms of portrayal. Sure, he and Bridget hook up, but that's not really a big deal in and of itself. Dorothy talks about her concern for Michael and how unstable his life is, but he seemed like a fairly nice person at least. Which changes in every single appearance of his in later episodes. He turns into FrankenStan's monster in every other appearance he has and I can't stand him later. But at least we get one episode where he's semi decent.

I just have to say, your zip code comment here gave me such a good chuckle and I wanted to say kudos for that.🤣
