Aishah, you helped me put my finger on one of the things that made me uncomfortable with Vee's arc.

The other thing is that I LOVE LORRAINE TOUSSAINT SO MUCH that it was hard to watch her be unrelentingly and manipulatively evil. I kept wanting some of what she said about loyalty and looking out for her family to be true.

Has anybody seen the old Lifetime T.V. show Any Day Now? She co-starred with Annie Potts as characters who had grown up together in the segregated south. I once heard a description of the series as trying to fix race relationships in the U.S. singlehandedly. I have seen every episode at least once and REALLY WANTED TO BE LORRAINE TOUSSAINT WHEN I GREW UP. Or at least her gorgeous, perfectly put-together, kick-ass lawyer character from the T.V. show.

Now, as a call back to Any Day Now, The Fosters has these two woman playing the mothers of the lesbian couple. You couldn't make me any happier.

I cannot find that t.v. show anywhere. If anybody knows where I could get it, I'd be grateful.

Dude, thanks for that back story. The Nigerian guy's story is freaky. I'm very curious to read Alex's book. I read Piper's and she didn't say that Alex was her first. And eventually she did take responsibility for her part in the crime.

The Fosters. It's on ABCfamily and Jennifer Lopez produces it. I saw the first season. It's good.

I've only seen the first season of OITNB so I don't know what's going on but I figure if people are behind and don't want any spoilers they will just stay away from OITNB threads.

I don't mind, so it doesn't bother me.

I think a separate thread for each episode is a little overkill. I don't want to have to hunt each time to find the right thread for what, 10-episodes?

We are big girls and boys and bois; we can look at a discussion thread or not, if we know we have not seen episodes.

OR, Can't we title each post : SPOILER ALERT: Episode #4, etc.?

I think a separate thread for each season is a great idea.

*steps off of soapbox, very carefully, so as not to fall*

Sorry, I meant Any Day Now. Thanks, though!

So it sounds like one thread for Season 3 is the way to go?

ProfPacker 05-28-2015 10:07 PM

btw, I love the Fosters, too

Yeah, I think it seems ultimately easiest for everyone. :)
