Thank you, Salome. I will look into that show. The thrill of understanding the unknown makes me alive when watching these type of shows. I haven't read the books yet. Do the TV adaptations portray exactly how the books were written?

Mostly. Mr. Mercedes is skipping past the second book (and taking more of the third) in the Bill Hodges trilogy for this new season, but 11/22/63 was pretty close to the book, as I recall.

Salome, I look forward to your show recaps on cultofwhatever. You are so funny! I'm too lazy to create an account to leave a comment, but I'm a happy reader.

Wow, that's so sweet and made my heart grow at least a size larger.

And yes, I was being fuzzy about churches because I didn't know if it were a spoiler, but I do remember at least one scene taking place in a church. As for the timeline, who knows? But yes, according to the announcement, level 10 leaders are immune.

Well, I'm not Asian, so I can't speak to the cultural aspects with any authority. At its heart, I guess it's just a romcom, but because of its cast, it means something more. Like, Asian men are rarely cast as romantic interests or even just as hot dudes, and in CRA, there are several thirst trap moments with Asian men. That sounds like damning with faint praise, but if you rarely get to see people who look like you, it's kind of a big deal.

Anyway, I enjoyed it. And I think the world is kind of starved for romcoms lately, as they fell out of favor. But judging by the popularity of CRA and Netflix's To All the Boys I've Loved Before, we'll see some more soon.

EDGAR EVERNEVER.

Also, that jalopy does not look safe.

It sounds like your dreams might come true, @Salome G. I really hope that ends up happening. A cult is exactly what the town of Riverdale needs. I'd way rather watch The Quiet Sisters duke it out with a cult than watch more Ghoulies vs. Serpents action. Of course, I'm sure there is going to be a lot more of that this season. I don't know how they'd just drop that storyline at this point.

*cut to me levitating with joy for like, a full five minutes*

A lot of the second season was just aimless. It felt like they were making it up as they went along, not like they had a structure in mind for it. They would pick up threads and then just drop them for the next thing. For the third season, I'd like to see way less of Hiram and his mob nonsense and way more of...God, literally anything else.

Do you think the farm is going to be a big plot point?

From your mouth to God's ears, I hope. BRING ON THE CULT.
