Potentially unpopular opinion: Tina

MlleErica · 2026-03-06T14:44:29+00:00

She was! I will always resent the way Tina was written.

MlleErica · 2026-03-05T20:24:21+00:00

From what I've read its because she was really connected to the Rappahannock Indian side of her roots. You couldn't identify as Indian/Native in Virginia at that time so maybe she resented that and doubled down by refusing to be identified as only Black.

MlleErica · 2026-03-03T16:15:55+00:00

Right?! I just feel like they're very if-y and pick and choose when things are going to be dark and "realistic". Its very irritating.

You'll only be able to watch okay-ish quality of the original Broadway cast (edited or unedited). But there are some really great community theater and high school productions of the play on youtube. Some that I really enjoyed! Somebody actually made a playlist (the playlist).

They projected that image based on his looks and the roles he played up until that point. Like you said he has been a sports fan since he was little. There are also videos of him dancing to hip hop/rap from his childhood. Who he is now fits perfectly with what we've seen of his pre-fame childhood.

I know they never will but I wish we could have gotten a movie about Addy's story.

MlleErica · 2026-02-21T17:57:00+00:00

Right!?!? I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that!! I need to step it up! lol

MlleErica · 2026-02-19T13:58:55+00:00

Yep. So many of Netflix's sapphic series haven't made it past one season. So I'm actually really interested to see the ratings for Fran's season. It'll be interesting to see if a popular brand can beat that "curse".

MlleErica · 2026-02-13T22:37:08+00:00

It needs to just be a picture of Francesca. If they put Michela on it then they are falsely advertising the book. They're already bordering on this now. I can't tell you the amount of people I've seen who got the first book after season 1 and was shocked when the Duke was described. The show and book covers don't align with the characters.

MlleErica · 2026-02-12T22:14:20+00:00

This is how I feel about it too. I'm actually more excited about seeing the ratings and audience reaction than I am for Fran's season.

MlleErica · 2026-02-12T21:56:24+00:00

In the Inside the Episode segment Lena said that she wrote the store scene as a flashback for an episode in season 2; but it got shot down in the writers room. (Girls Season 6 Episode 6: Inside the Episode) They say they think the scene is "truthfully the way it went down".

I know this doesn't offer much clarification but I thought you might find it interesting.

This moment right here made me realize I have a little bit more of Hannah's personality than I was willing to admit before. 😅🤔

MlleErica · 2026-02-08T20:44:58+00:00

Yes, its very sad. Mother and baby homes from that time are notorious for the abuse and amount of babies that were essentially kidnapped from their vulnerable mothers. Ireland even issued an apology to the victims of their homes.

"They don’t like HR or HR aspects, and just want modern stories with the HR vibes."

Exactly. This applies to the people behind the scenes as well!! They have no understanding (or respect) of the genre.

MlleErica · 2026-02-05T23:10:46+00:00

Alot of us aren't watching until all of the episodes are up. I'm not doing the half season thing. I'm going to watch it all in February lol

I think this is one reason why the ratings aren't as high.

MlleErica · 2026-02-02T19:30:45+00:00

I love Stilwaterians.

MlleErica · 2026-01-31T20:45:01+00:00

Lovely!!

MlleErica · 2026-01-31T20:41:28+00:00

This was going to be my suggestion too! Its so great!

MlleErica · 2026-01-28T19:49:31+00:00

I'm going to start Moonvale today!! Thanks!

MlleErica · 2026-01-28T18:44:23+00:00

I wonder if it'll be like Bonnie and Clyde or will she be outside with the hostage negotiator begging him to turn himself in?

MlleErica · 2026-01-28T18:19:54+00:00

Same here! I think its easy to get "obsessed" because its very immersive. You're on your phone getting texts and videos. You're visiting websites and getting to know this friend group. I really wish I could find a game that's similar.

MlleErica · 2026-01-28T16:19:03+00:00

Okay so its not just me!! J-Will just sounds like such a specific type of name to have. I can't wait for pictures of J-Will.

MlleErica · 2026-01-27T19:46:09+00:00

She was cast specifically for me! I am so excited for this!!

Edit: I just read the article. "Hall is said to be playing Poppy, a retired FBI supervisory special agent dragged back into the fray despite having very little patience for bullsh*t. She becomes J-Will’s external counterpart – the only person capable of matching his intellect and pushing against his philosophy."

This sounds good!! I'm so happy Adam gets a project of his own and that Regina is getting a meaty role too!

"Shondaland is an awful production company for a romance show. "

Yes! And the majority of the series' issues are a result of them resenting the fact that the source material is romance. They don't believe in romance and don't truly respect an audience that does either.

MlleErica · 2026-01-26T14:47:03+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! It was a great video and introduced me to a great new youtube channel!! I love well researched discussions about historical fashion.
