I gotta tell you, I'm really not that excited for this spinoff. I don't even like the look of most of the new cast so I can't say I feel too optimistic right now.

Well there better have been a genuine effort. I don't know what was running through their minds when they made TDAS, this is the same crew in almost its entirety working on RR, but I hope they've wisened up some and can just deliver a straightforward ride and experience with no repeats of their nonsense from all the thirteen-episode seasons. Maybe this could be like TDWT without all the bull**** that tainted that otherwise exceptional setup for a season, if the effort was applied and if the whole audience was kept in mind this time. I'd like to hope that this will be decent, but it ain't over until it's over. And don't forget who has been entrusted with the finale yet again on top of voicing Don himself. The past seasons have killed a lot of my excitement for RR, so I can only observe and hope for something half-decent. It's going to be a very long month, I doubt I'll be taking an active role in the RR chatter. Forgive me for being kind of blase about this.

People still ask why they decided to do that instead of bringing everyone back and I've tried to find out why they did or why they found it funny apparently. But let me tell you I flat out say it was not funny, and that the circumstances of the finale made it that much worse. Their official word is that they're all okay; the extent of their regret is not making a clip to show that. Still a foolish, stupid move no matter how you cut and slice it. And I told her that not bringing the entirety of the cast back in these last couple of finales is a very unpopular choice. I had a lot to say about that scene and other things I felt fit to make mention of. It still pisses me off that they gave that the 'Okay'. I'm just trying to bluntly spell the reality of a few things to them from the past couple of years regarding the show to make it clear to them what sort of impact some of their choices have had. That scene, excluding the reset button may be my choice for the worst single joke this show has tried to pass off as such. And that's saying a lot.

Yeah, I'm not surprised, I think it's fair to say it's worth raising awareness when it comes to that sort of thing. I really hope they're a relative minority, but I know Zoke's got a young and ardent fandom that blows off everything else because they're enamored with the pairing and its victory in the game. I won't hesitate to say it's troubling that anyone would defend anything within the Trinity.

My next priority is SMS, explain to them upfront why the Courtney and the Gwen drama has worn on so many. Why what they're doing is not 'fresh' in any sense, and why it was enormously unpleasant to watch what happened with both. I've already got quite a bit written out dealing with exactly that that I hope to send them soon. I feel you can't properly address the issue without getting the full scope of it, acknowledging the views of both sides along the way. I won't be talking much about Booty-ful but let's face it, that's a pretty easy one to sum up to them. I think I've met maybe six people who ever tried to defend it in any meaningful way. In fact if that's something you'd love to tear into yourself before them, be my guest. You could probably do a better job than myself if that was your choice.

Yeah that sums up Donald Trump's "policy" right there. Hardly looks like presidential material so long as he's going off half-cocked like that. I'd call for the impeachment of any president who was that much of an arse in his office. That kind of aggression is inappropriate in the Oval Office, as are the deluded proclamations of everybody on the Republican side of the aisle. And your right, Hillary likely won't have the spotty record Trump would establish for himself. Plus, it's pretty hypocritical that the nation gets hung on on the affairs of Bill Clinton and Hillary's emails yet they never impeached George W. Bush or Dick Cheney for their politically-motivated reasons for waging war in Iraq. Hell, impeach Ted Cruz for having hosted a government shutdown, or Scott Walker for his war on the unions, which he takes open pride in. Yeah we got a terrible lineup this year, and the Republicans have already proven how unfit they are to occupy the White House again. I hope they lose next year, if losing 2008 and 2012 didn't shake them up, losing 2016 surely will. All the more reason to pray they lose. But you can never be too sure, because people either don't vote, or they vote for people like Trump if they do. Based on who has the louder voice, not who has more actual common sense and vision.

I didn't get it, I'm sorry to say. Oh well, trying for some others as we speak.
