suck it up broham; we’ve all been in the shit. don’t take four posts to be offended over being a troglodyte throwback.

Ok I love this show but one thing I just cannot let slide.
Stanfurd is not "one of the best schools in the country."

i never said 'durrr this lady makes me feel strange in my bathing suit area’
also i'm aware there are a fewer women posters than ever, and would like to see their presence more
but whatever

i mean, maura called me a troglodyte, little bit rude. Also inaccurate, I'm smart.

I feel like Episode 4 of this season may be one of the realest so far - maybe their first "bottle" episode?
― The Harsh Tutelage of Michael McDonald (Raymond Cummings), Saturday, 30 June 2018 19:42 (five years ago) link
yeah, it’s a great showcase for gilpin and kia stevensthe amount of stunts the cast do own their own is really impressive - the liberty belle / welfare queen fight in that episode is awesome!

For whatever reason, this is making me think of Jaime Hernandez's "Whoa Nellie" series from some years back.

Fwiw back when "they're hot" type remarks weren't found offensive there were loads more female posters. Some of them even made such comments. Ilx turning into a hard left enclave may be counterproductive in this respect.
― albvivertine, Saturday, 30 June 2018 23:03 (five years ago) link
I'm finding it easier to just mostly stick to ILM tbh. Politics threads/etc. scare me off quick
― Jang Mo Jib (Ross), Saturday, 30 June 2018 23:04 (five years ago) link
hard left enclave? LOL seriously? because Maura rightfully checked Ross. watch my eyes roll allllllll the way around in their sockets. jfc
be better. move on. end of story.

I don't think calling someone stupid is fair though.
― Jang Mo Jib (Ross), Saturday, 30 June 2018 23:30 (five years ago) link
i didn’t call you stupid i called you uncouth and exist. there’s a difference. have a great day

*sexistalso lol “hard left”
anyway i finished the season and i really liked it
― maura, Saturday, 30 June 2018 23:43 (five years ago) link
troglodyte is often used to denote "stupid" but yeah you have a good day. i enjoy your posts on ilm, so no hard feelings i hope

oh, my gosh - that episode 5 cold open

Last season was so intense/perfect that I didn't know if this show had new, more interesting places to go - but season 2 is killing it.

Watching the first ep of S2 now and they're in the mall, big "Blockbuster Video" logo on the wall.
Thought that seemed kind of early for Blockbuster to be a big chain video rental company, and I was right. They started in Dallas and they didn't really begin spreading like a virus until 1988-89.

This show is fun and good but yeah its v fast and loose w period details
― Οὖτις, Sunday, 1 July 2018 02:26 (five years ago) link
definitely. the “period details” are for atmosphere & feel rather than any kind of accuracy as they say in The Castle, it’s just the vibe of the thing
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 1 July 2018 02:34 (five years ago) link
Episode 8, you guys
― The Harsh Tutelage of Michael McDonald (Raymond Cummings), Sunday, 1 July 2018 03:36 (five years ago) link
episode 8 is chefkiss.jpg, i kinda want an entire season done that waybinged all 10 episodes now and s2 is a real triumph, i’d happily watch it all again - such a great balance of comedy and drama. and the wrestling is pretty good too!poor bash’s storyline broke my heart :(
― Fox News' Chad Pergram contributed to this report (bizarro gazzara), Sunday, 1 July 2018 04:29 (five years ago) link
Couldn't stop watching and now I have no more episodes left! Finale is a million hoots and the ending is lovely.
― Martin Landau Ballet (Leee), Sunday, 1 July 2018 06:37 (five years ago) link
Looking forward to reviving this up
― Garden variety uncouth (Ross), Sunday, 1 July 2018 08:33 (five years ago) link
Time magazine mostly rated this well but noted the secondary characters storylines were mostly too truncated and without depth. haven't watched it yet to determine that but sure this is a good season, quality show
― Garden variety uncouth (Ross), Sunday, 1 July 2018 21:44 (five years ago) link
ok i finished s2 and omg that was so greatfinale was hilarious - staging was hilar

the argument btw debbie & ruth in the hospital was so raw & great, i love how they both dig up allthe messy complicated emotions & express them so wellbetty gilpin crushed it this season. her edgy manic exhaustion was awesomeoverall just feel so uplifted & happy, the show just lights me up from within it sounds corny but it’s true!!! i love it. Gives me genuine delight to watch, makes me feel so many emotions with quality wrestling & laughs.This fuckin show <3excellent cameos in the beginning of ep10

Nice interview with Kia Stevens, who plays Tamme: https://www.theringer.com/tv/2018/7/3/17527216/kia-stevens-glow-season-two
So about her spotlight episode: it definitely addresses the racial stereotypes that's a part of wrestling (which IIRC the first season doesn't dig into), but doesn't really settle the issue for better or for worse (also a reflection of how wrestling works IRL).
*** SPOILERS START ***What did seem anachronistic was how the crowd started turning on LB in favor of WQ, which kinda idealizes the reaction a rasslin audience might have to seeing someone being demeaned so badly. (At least AFAICR -- I don't remember any examples where a gimmick steps over a line so egregiously that the crowd reacts against it.)*** END SPOILERS ***

Very few shows confer such joy, such glee - even when they're dark or unpleasant.
I'm a little nervous about what next season will bring, but this was wonderful.
― The Harsh Tutelage of Michael McDonald (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 4 July 2018 00:26 (five years ago) link
It's a show that loves its characters; I'm not sure how to say what I'm trying to say.
If I had to single out any single character's storyline this season, it might be everything involving Justine; if I had to pick a favorite episode, it's probably a toss up between episode 4 or episode 8.
― The Harsh Tutelage of Michael McDonald (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 4 July 2018 00:28 (five years ago) link
When I think through these seasons, though, and try to settle on a favorite MOMENT from the whole thing it comes down to: Bash just before he's going to be a ringside announcer for the first time (from S1E10). He's been waiting his whole damn life to do this and it's happening, finally.
― The Harsh Tutelage of Michael McDonald (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 4 July 2018 00:39 (five years ago) link
Bash’s legit delight during every minute of the battle royale was one of my favorite things. The things they do to show you how much he loves wrestling really pay off. And Raymond otm: while i find the stories are a little bit underwritten at times, the show’s love for the characters is unmistakeable and I dunno if I would trade that. It feels more, idk, nourishing? I hate that word but that’s what popped into my head.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 4 July 2018 04:09 (five years ago) link
This show is like the decent stuff in OITNB (multi ethnic ensemble female cast) x 10 and w out any of that show’s egregious baggage, just really enjoyable and occasionally genuinely moving. Kia tearing up after those “get a job” chants was too real.
