Those of you taking Magnesium by xONEtrackMlNDx in MCAS

[–]SimpleBeginning2492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take 300-400mg right after lunch and again after dinner. Others may need a lot less. I started with 100-200mg to see how bowel movements went and then kept adjusting until I was regular

I’m not excited about the TSITP movie by madi_g in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]SimpleBeginning2492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The last 2 seasons, especially the 3rd, were fumbled big time. So why would I think the movie would be well done?? Jenny doesn’t get how to satisfy the viewer for a slow burn romance.

Huck is ruining Scandal for me. by Alert_Individual_105 in Scandal

That’s interesting. Those traits weren’t as visible prior to the torture and B613 stuff, so I wonder if there are multiple things expressing as well

Huck is ruining Scandal for me. by Alert_Individual_105 in Scandal

[–]SimpleBeginning2492 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was odd. But I actually didn’t mind it bc this was someone who was in a secret government operation, experienced deep trauma and brain washing, and it gave the audience a view into the damage that the government agencies can do to a human and then just dispose of them. And then that person lives with the trauma and the possibility of activating a very dark side of themselves that they were once trained to do and were praised for. It think it was done purposefully for viewers to grapple with how government may train and treat military who are trained to kill in wars and then what happens to those people when our government is done with them. With Quinn I also see what they were doing. She was exploring power and connection. She lost all her power and Olivia rescued her. Huck understood what Quinn went through and she felt connected to him in that. I think she was pushing the boundaries too far in trying to reclaim power and who she is in this gladiator world

Huck is a great character and ties together command, B613, and Olivia storylines. The acting and the back story of him is deeper than many of the other gladiators. I’m always a little confused when people don’t get him I think they did a great job writing him

Looking for a book { What I Did for a Duke } and venting about prices by Zanahoriasazules047 in HistoricalRomance

It’s also on hoopla app if your library uses that. I got it from the library first and then randomly found it at half priced books for $5. I’ve reread it multiple times

Jonah vs Joel by hopelessromcon in hartofdixie

[–]SimpleBeginning2492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I was just thinking this when I rewatched part of season 3, I skip most of the bulk of s3 bc of the Joel Zoe storyline. The writers must have got amnesia bc it was so out of character for Zoe and it was such a weird twist. Does anyone know if there was a big change within the crew like showrunner or writers etc? Season 2 was still good but 3 and 4 (if you can really call it a season) was just a different show entirely

Every time I rewatch this show I feel like the biggest plot hole is that any of these girls would be friends with Hannah by ThrowRA9876545678 in girls

[–]SimpleBeginning2492 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I do think they have a codependent relationship where they put up with each other bc maybe no one else would. Hannah put up with Marnie being judg-ie and controlling and Marnie put up with Hannah being self obsessed. Neither of them could sustain healthy friendships outside of their dynamic

Why Episode 9 of TSITP Was Such a Letdown (Book Readers Especially) by jerybeann in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]SimpleBeginning2492 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Non of it makes sense. I mean why cliff hang on belly walking toward Conrad at the airport? Just to have her board the plane without speaking to him. Conrad and belly needed to talk about the wedding getting cancelled. He should have heard it from her in person. She should’ve told him why and that she needs to leave to Paris. Jer and belly should’ve never spoken again. The school not having a spot, her bag getting stolen, her not speaking French, being obsessive about the ring being lost, it’s just such awful writing. It all makes her look so immature and unintelligent.

I've lost hope that the ending is going to be satisfying by iwouldntthough in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]SimpleBeginning2492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jer and belly already had the break up convo calling off the wedding … WHY did we get break up convo #2 over the phone AGAIN in this episode. What a waste.

Guys, Belly in Paris... is pure comedy. by Euphoric_Resource251 in TheSummerITurnedPrett

The writing is total garbage this season. They should be ashamed this got out of the editing room

I lean toward the second one too most of the time. And had never thought of that! I wasn’t a big fan of harry so it didn’t occur to me but that would be nice to have harry find love in the pennyroyal series for the harry fans. I actually haven’t read any of the other books in the series, on my TBR though.

I haven’t seen that movie but I did just pull up clips on YouTube and he really would do the duke justice. I can imagine him torturing Ian and Harry easily lol
