Now that the season finale of And Just Like That … has aired, some final notes before we can go back to not thinking about Miranda’s terrible decisions anymore:
1. Sarah Jessica Parker reiterates for the 1,000th time: SAMANTHA IS NOT COMING BACK. “… I think there’s just too much public history of feelings on her part that she’s shared,” Parker explained. “We didn’t go to Kim for this, you know,” Parker said. “After we didn’t do the movie and the studio couldn’t meet what she wanted to do, we have to hear her and listen to her and what was important to her. It didn’t fit into what was important or needed for us.”
For all the representation #AndJustLikeThat strived to achieve, I most saw myself in Samantha Jones—the friend who exists only over text and replies sporadically with one sentence max.

2. Aidan was never planned to be in this season, no matter what John Corbett might have had to say about it. Just because you put it out into the universe doesn’t mean it is going to happen, John.
3. The writers know what you’re saying about them.
4. And Sara Ramirez knows what you’re saying about Che.
Disliked nearly every minute of And Just Like That and if there isn't a season two I will cut off my own legs

“And Just Like That” is the worst show on television. If they released a new episode every day I would watch it. It never should have been made. I want 17 more seasons. It deserves every Emmy.

The key to a revival of a beloved tv show is to make sure all the old fans hate it and no new viewers could possibly understand it.

Late-night obviously had some thoughts about Rudy Giuliani’s appearance on The Masked Singer:

OH COOL, AMAZON IS RAISING THE PRICE OF PRIME BY $20 A YEAR BECAUSE THEY’RE ADDING A BUNCH OF GODDAMNED FOOTBALL I DIDN’T WANT AND WILL NEVER WATCH. I swear to God, the money I would save if I weren’t forced to subsidize sports and propaganda “news” organizations I never watch …
Heads up, nerds. Here are some photos of the hands of a bunch of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power characters.
Hey, look, it’s the 1,976 Game of Thrones actor arguing that fans were never going to be happy with the ending because they didn’t want the show to end and not, because, you know, of the bad writing. What I find fascinating about these statements is that the actors seem to feel defensive about the ending when they were just playing a role they were given. If y’all are out there blaming the actors, you need to adjust your focus.
Single Drunk Female was Freeform’s biggest debut in years.
Here are all the other characters that Jason Mantzoukas has voiced, in case you were wondering.
Four men have been arrested in connection with the death of actor Michael K. Williams.
John Roberts is back on Fox News after a health scare.
This isn’t TV news, but why why why did this have to be in Houston?
There’s a lot of talk about banning books in schools, but we were surprised these republicans wanted to ban the Bible. pic.twitter.com/gq4b89x2PO

I’m pretty sure Amazon is actually raising the Prime price because a certain Mr. Jeff Bezos now has to pay to have a bridge removed in Amsterdam to get his new yacht to sea.
Yes, this is also accurate.

So Euphoria and Yellowstone being renewed was almost a given but I’m super surprised / stoked to see Chapelwaite was renewed!
