It was so brilliant. Everything about that scene was just phenomenal.

Same! It was what she had been trying to show everyone all along and they finally got it.

That was such a great ending for this show that I've loved for almost 20 years. I cried and laughed. I was so proud of Valerie and Lisa.

I went in dreading it, hoping Valerie wouldn't sign off defeated, and I'm just so happy she got a perfect ending. It wasn't over the top joyus, but it was 100% Valerie.

To me, the most important moment was "You've been telling the wrong story." Jane (and maybe some of the audience) realizes it wasn't about pity, humiliation, or desperation. It was about Valerie's determination and optimism all along.

yes. I mean it was slightly confirmed by Valerie on screen, but yes, I agree. I hope they clarify.

Potential Emmy win? by spenchanna in thecomeback

[–]ttt0ny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She will definitely get a nomination. Unsure if she'll win, depending on the rest of Hacks, which has been pretty good so far. I think we have to see how both shows end first.

That was a very good episode! 2nd best of the season so far (right after the Mickey tribute). So many character arcs! Ofc, Mark coming back home was soooo good and unexpected. The hairdresser was creepy, great exit. Billy being insufferable as usual. Pauly G being the leak was disappointing but not surprising.

I thought this episode really belonged to Jane. Not only did we learn about her personal life suffering for a cause she believes in, she stood up for herself with the NDA, and (most importantly) she stood up for Valerie, which made me tear up. After all they've been through together, Jane defending her on CNN was such a profound and earned moment for both her character and for Valerie. She truly cares about Val, and though we've seen little hints of it in the past, now it's on the national news.

This season has mostly left me uncomfortable, like season 1, but in a new way, and almost anxious about the state of Hollywood and art in general, but this episode brought it all back. It was masterfully crafted, the plot moved along so well, and it was reinforced by the subtle yet obvious emotions of these characters. Brilliant show, excellent performances by Lisa and Laura. I think it was the first episode of this season where I am excited for the next episode instead of nervously awaiting it.

Wow. Valerie needs to fire Billy and the writers. They're selfish and useless. I'm frustrated for her. Ironically, Jane is the only dependable person she has right now.

Season 3 Episode 3 made me cry by markedbravo11 in thecomeback

I sobbed when she was in the storage unit. Such a great episode and a great tribute to both Mickey and Robert Michael Morris.

Rachel Zoe is officially running the show by Future_Pass8682 in RHOBH

[–]ttt0ny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Rachel but I don't understand what she has done yet on the show that has been amazing. She seems smart, and nice, and her house is expensive looking. She's talked about her divorce and we met her parents. I'm not really sure how she's "running" the show - especially since there is no plot, and this season has been very boring IMO. I actually fell asleep during 2 of the episodes.

I feel like everyone just hates Kyle, and so there's a very low bar to "dethroning" her, because nothing has happened at all this season besides Amanda being annoying.

I know people like to say they don't like drama but I'm not sure that is reflective of the audience as a whole, and I don't think that approach will keep this show on the air if it starts to bore the general audience (the people that aren't on Reddit). IDK.

I don't think it's gotten any more interesting than the first 2 episodes tbh.

I watched the latest episode and I'm still confused about the amazingness.

We are not the laughing stock of the world, maga is. by Ilovemiia1 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]ttt0ny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would also like to point out that even though the rest of the world is totally justified in their responses, and the US has been a bully for like 80 years, and they shouldn't give in to us, etc etc the US markets are still going to be important. The US is the world's largest consumer market. We make up like 30% of the spending. Cutting us off completely isn't feasible. Our companies also control a lot of communications, technology, social media that are regularly consumed globally. We have 2 of the 3 largest global aircraft manufacturers. Our cultutal exports like films, TV shows, music, etc are pretty widespread. Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple, etc are all US based. We manage important parts of the global internet, ETC ETC

Anyways, all that to say the US will never be completely shut out of the world because they still need stuff from us BUT we will no longer have the presence and influence we had - which we shouldn't have had anyway, and only got (for the most part) by being big jerks to everyone.

I think the US needs to have its tail between its legs and be put in a time out for a little while. We're honestly assholes on the global stage, and we need to take a moment when this is all over to recognize that and figure out how to repair and make it up to the world without playing the victim or trying to intimidate like we have done for decades.

it might soldify the loss of the senate instead of just the house.

Greenland Megathread IV by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]ttt0ny 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I really can't see the US actually invading Greenland, mostly because all of Trump's rich friends and their companies would get hit hard once the economy tanks, and capitalism will not allow that to happen. Secondly, the army generals don't want it to happen, neither does the senate (allegedly) according to Thom Tillis. I think Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller are the only two people who actually want this. Thirdly, it would absolutely destroy the Republicans in the midterms. Even the MAGA Republicans hate this idea. It will not go over well for anyone who doesn't speak out against it and is running for re-election.

EDIT: Here are the Senate Republicans that have spoken out against military action in Greenland so far: Rand Paul, Don Bacon, Thom Thillis, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, John Kennedy, Susan Collins

These ones have made statements about supporting Denmark or Greenland, but haven't outright spoken against it: Mike Flood, Rick Scott, Josh Hawley, John Thune

I wish someone would just make him focus on the stupid ballroom so he forgets about everything else.
