THE New Normal

Ellen Barkin wasn't on at all tonight, and I think that greatly aided in my enjoyment of the episode.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

THE New Normal

It really did! I think - I THINK - I may have actually liked this episode! There were definitely some parts that had me rolling my eyes (like the whole lesbian scene, and how the dark haired lesbian ranted about how unfair it is, as if she were arguing with someone, but no one was opposing her - they were all on her side...) But I feel like there actually weren't any racist jokes in this one. Is this true? Did anyone else catch one?

And I don't mean that to sound like I'm saying the episode wasn't racist at all, because it was on a lot of other levels - namely the entirely white cast except for Nene, and how insulting it was that it took them SO long to consider her for the godmother. ETC WHATEVER.

Okay, it told me there was a critical error when I posted that message, so I did it again - how do I delete? I don't see anything...

My apologies, lol.

THE New Normal

The one thing this episode made me wonder about is the exact moment John Benjamin Hickey went from a decent, affable, somewhat attractive actor into someone I'd let punch me in the back of the head while we made sweet, sweet love.

How did it happen? When was the moment?

THE New Normal

When he stopped shaving regularly.

I think the term is "scruff slut".

THE New Normal

I just CAN'T!

In my time in NYC, he's also gone from a solid actor (Love, Valour...Cabaret) to a great one.

If I can't have him, can't I just have his life?

Who says you cant have him?!

Oh heavens. You're right. No one has that that to me! JBH! I'm a-comin!
#410

THE New Normal

Best episode so far. And yes, I think that has a lot to do with the fact Barkin was nowhere to be found in it.

And "The Growing Painseses" almost made me cry from laughing so hard.
#411

THE New Normal

I enjoyed the episode as well. I thought I'd be turned off by the whole religion aspect, but it's also kind of hitting a chord in my right now, and I thought it was handled decently.

And yes...Growing Painseses was marvelous.

THE New Normal

This was a good line from last night too:

Shania: What are Polaroids?
Bryan: Just an old-timey word that David likes to use, like landline or Josh Hartnett.

THE New Normal

I thought it was pretty much business as usual, though the unexplained absence of Nana did make things less ugly and hostile. Props to Goldie for soldiering on and imagining her life post-baby being fab and not fretting for a second about that custody hearing we once heard about. Nene continues to astound with the way she says everything in her sing-songy, yet almost monotone delivery. Unless her character is supposed sound perpetually astonished. If so, give this lady an Emmy!

Speaking of plot points that turn with the wind, I like how Shania goes from being precocious and wiser than everyone else to being borderline moronic when the story calls for it.

The "spiritual" aspect of this episode was equally ridiculous, I thought. And for someone whose Judaism seems to be very important to him (at least for this episode) I found it strange that David was willing to step back and let Christianity be the model for their child's "spiritual" life.

And Robbie, I can't speak for you, but John Benjamin Hickey crossed that divide for me with The Big C. There was something about his dirty, slitchy, mentally ill brother character that made look at him with new eyes.

THE New Normal

I sincerely wish I liked this show. The cast is grating on my nerves, and I found myself only partially paying attention last night...Christmas shopping in catelogues vastly preferrable.

THE New Normal

After reading that Hollywood Reporter story that answers a lot of questions, and someone keep this man away from The Normal Heart.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

THE New Normal

He bought it with his own money, baby. Ain't no getting his mitts off that!
#418

THE New Normal

And it's now called "The New Normal Heart."
#419

THE New Normal

The doctor is going to be played by someone with a developmental disorder. She's going to be hilarious!
#420

THE New Normal

And Ellen Barkin is reprising her Broadway role--but this doctor's got a whole bunch of Haitian AIDS jokes up her sleeve!
#421

THE New Normal

I can't wait to hear them. I think the Normal Heart's treatment of AIDS could really benefit from Ryan Murphy's "everyone is fodder for horrible jokes" style!
#422

THE New Normal

And just wait until you hear the hilarious Man fvcks a monkey and creates AIDS jokes she tells! But don't worry because in the next scene, she'll be amazingly loving and nothing like that hateful person she was 2 minutes ago.

Bryan: Just an old-timey word that David likes to use, like landline or Josh Hartnett.


lol, agreed. Begrudgingly. When he started the sentence, I rolled my eyes, but it won me over with Josh Hartnett. However, I was reeeally annoyed with how Goldie didn't know Annie Leibovitz - similar to how she didn't know Simon & Garfunkel. I can't tell if it's meant to be that she's a. stupid b. too young c. both

I think it does mean to say that she's a stupid b.
