Well, that was... unremarkable.

I didn't particularly like any of the final 4, but of those 4, I would have liked to see Eva win. So... anyone else participate in the online voting for the 50th season? I voted for no immunity idols. Take it right back to Season 1, when there were no idols, and a slice of pizza was a fancy reward.

:scream: I'll have more to say after the 24-hour no-spoilers time is up.

Chances are that if you can imagine it, a fanfiction writer may have already posted a story about it. You might check out what's available on AO3 (Archive Of Our Own; I think it's listed under book fandom, rather than TV fandom). And yes, I'm aware that fanfiction isn't canon. But when the...

We got scads of Emily's backstory, though. Pretty good for a character who dies in the novel. (I'm not going to tiptoe around book spoilers; FFS, it's been out for 40 years, the movie came out in 1990, and the TV show started in 2016 - that's ample time to have read the book. But I did ask the...

Indeed, farewell to Joseph, the only character in this entire series besides Janine who was genuinely interesting. Considering that in the novel, Janine disappears from the narrative not long after giving birth to Angela, the show did a good job with developing her character. This season has...

Hope everyone remembered the TAR season finale Thursday. I'm very pleased with who won. It's nice when the team you're cheering from the get-go actually turn out to be the winners. :) So I guess next week will be a 2-hour Survivor?

Any time when one half of a team is that disrespectful to the other half of the team, I automatically want them to lose. In fact, I want Phil to give them a lecture about respect. Not that this is the worst situation; that was a season or two back when I thought the woman should run, not walk...

FFS, there are plans to connect Edmonton and Calgary by rail (bypassing my city, of course, even though we're smack in between these two and the 3rd-largest city in Alberta. I don't foresee this happening any more than I foresee a train to Alaska. Politicians yap all the time, but I remember...

The title for episode 8 should have been "Let Them Eat Cake." This is nuts. Gilead can't be okay with the Handmaids escaping and Serena walking out with her baby. And this isn't going to do diddly to help the people in the other districts (Washington, Chicago, wherever Hannah's supposed to be...

Propaganda that's part of a story is still propaganda. Y'know what? Back in the 1970s and '80s, SF author F.M. Busby wrote a series of novels about the Hulzein family, in a dystopian near-future setting that had government by corporations that began in the U.S. (because the current form of...

So? There may be reasons for that, and he didn't think it necessary to share. I lived 'at home' for most of my life and only gave it up after my dad had to move to a nursing home.

I'm not happy that Mary was voted off. Was she pissing people off? Yes, but it was out of frustration. I thought the jury member (can't remember his name) standing for her was a nice gesture. They were idiots not to vote Joe off. There may not be another chance. The water jousting looked...

In this case I hope the show veers off from the book, at least somewhat. The book was a snoozefest. Except for Aunt Lydia's backstory. That was absolutely chilling, and made a lot more sense than that insipid crap we saw a few seasons ago.

Alison Redford did. When she called the election of 2012, she made a promise to increase the AISH benefit from $1188/month to $1588/month. She kept that promise, and it made all the difference in the world to those of us whose rents went up during the next couple of years. I moved to my current...

I'd agree with that if it weren't for the loathsome thing running the Alberta government (Danielle Smith). She has gone to new standards of VILE. I just found out that she bought a new carpet for her office. It apparently cost a little more than the amount that would support someone on the...

For most of this season I've wanted either Mary or Mitch to win. At this point, I'd be disappointed if Eva doesn't win. She was really annoying at first, but now she's really shown that she has what it takes to win this without pissing off too many people. I guess I just liked how Mary pulled...

Minor surprise? The last time the monarch delivered the throne speech was 48 years ago. This is not only an endorsement of Canada, but a huge f*ck you to Trump.

Carney's out of touch on that point. Harper purged the Red Tories at least 15 years ago, if not more. Some of them stuck with Joe Clark when he kept trying to hang on to the real PC party, but in the end they either gave up or joined the CPC. Clark never did, though. Funny how I didn't like him...

I saw a rumor on FB earlier today about Elizabeth May becoming Speaker. It makes sense in a way, as the Speaker doesn't get to vote and the Liberals need every vote they can get, to pass legislation. She knows the rules and procedures inside and out, and takes no bullshit from anybody. She'd...
