In 1947, a man was pulled from his car and was later found in a grisly condition; his leg had been eaten off. Some speculated this was the work of the Jersey Devil as this happened in the woods in New Jersey. ("Jersey Devil", X-Files, TV)

Jackie Gets Demoted to a Friend?!

They’re already filming for season 13 and a housewife has allegedly been demoted to a friend of the show!

Even though Jackie Goldschneider shared a lot this season about her struggle with eating disorder, she has been demoted to a friend of the show.

When I heard this news, I was strangely surprised, and yet not shocked. I don’t think she got demoted as a result of not bringing it on the show.

She had a confrontation with Dolores Catania without breaking a sweat and a big storyline.

But she mentioned numerous times that she stopped eating during stressful times, like her feud with Teresa Giudice last season.

Bear in mind that during therapy Jackie was told that she could suffer a heart attack for eating differently!

I think it’s way more likely that both Jackie and Bravo agreed that it would be best for her to step down one season to get herself into a healthier place with her recovery.

They did the same with Kim Richards when she struggled with sobriety on RHOBH.

But since they’re already filming season 13, what do we know except from Jackie being demoted?

Everybody’s back on RHONJ, as usual, but Bravo is allegedly testing 3 new potential housewives.

RHONJ must be one of the toughest shows to secure a spot as a housewife on!

They struck gold with Jackie, Margaret Josephs and Jennifer Aydin, but there were a lot of flops:

Kathy Wakile, Teresa Aprea, Amber Marchese, Nicole Napolitano, and Siggy Flicker… 

Not to mentioned Traci Johnson, who was completely erased from the reunion!

RHONJ is the show with the longest run with the same cast. But is that a good thing? They need change!

It’s written on the wall there we’re in for another round of the feud between the Gorgas and the Giudices – and do we really want that?

Apparently, Melissa Gorga is not invited to the wedding – and Joe Gorga has allegedly had a heated conversation with Teresa’s fiancé, Luis Ruelas.

Another wedding storyline. Another chapter of the family saga. May the Bravo Gods have mercy on our souls.

At the beginning of the 2004 Democratic Party presidential primaries, it seemed that Massachusetts Governor and son of former President Robert Kennedy, Joe Kennedy II, would easily win nomination. However, Vermont Governor Howard Dean emerged from nowhere with a slashing, populist political persona very different from his reputation as a moderate in his own state. After an upset win in New Hampshire, Dean built enough momentum to secure the nomination by April. He promised to end the War in Iraq, resolve tensions with Iran, and pursue arms control treaties with the USER and China while restoring New Renaissance-era funding for the arts and sciences and further expanding Medicare. Dean chose rival for the nomination Janet Napolitano as his running mate, and the two went on to be defeated in a close election against incumbent John McCain.

James Tynion IV and Michael Avon Oeming's Blue Book returns with Blue Book: 1947 #comics #comicbooks

Long before Betty and Barney Hill excited the public with their alien encounter story, there were years and years of suspected sightings and abductions. James Tynion IV, Michael Avon Oeming, Tom Napolitano, and Dark Horse Comics return with another deeply weird non-fiction tale exploring alien sightings in the upcoming comic, Blue Book: 1947. In 1947, Kenneth Arnold flew his Call-Air A-2 over…

Darkness Falls

1.24.24

Merits:

Writing:

This episode is basically Ice in the forest, to me. Not necessarily in a bad way. They're stranded with an unknown biological entity among them, tensions are high, Scully distrusts Mulder for a second, and at the end the government destroys evidence. I've gotta say, the ending is extremely weak. It's supposed to be an Oh Shit type moment, but I just don't think it works.

What this episode does just fine is keep things fairly simple: the secondary characters have one or two defining traits and don't really deviate from them; the monster isn't too complicated; the plot is easy to follow. It's all pretty self-contained and doesn't try anything too grand. Until the ending, pulling in a random government conspiracy, but y'know. It's Chris Carter. I'll give it an 8.

Characterization/development:

Mulder assumes the best of the "eco-terrorist" Doug against everyone else's warnings. Once again, an example of how he paints himself as a paranoid cynic, but he's actually a very warm-hearted and generous person to underdogs and people otherwise misjudged by society.

Scully as usual wants a rational, scientific approach, and for once she kind of gets it. A rare/extinct species of bug is not implausible, even if it is extreme. What gets her is when she thinks she has them figured out, but then they do something unexpected -- they're on her body even in the light! I would not be happy either. Solid 8.

Emotion:

As a monster-of-the-week episode, this one doesn't really pull on any heartstrings. There's not a strong feeling of joy, sympathy, fear, anger, or any of those really powerful emotions. I felt bad for Mulder getting dunked on; I sympathized with Scully's little freakout moment; the remaining time, though, I was kinda like "huh. Wonder what'll happen next." 3.

Antagonist/monster:

I like the little green bugs. They're just doin' their thang. Like I said, this is literally just the parasite in Ice, but in a forest -- it's old as balls and it's going to kill you. Nevertheless, I thought the story behind them was kinda cool. Trapped in a tree ring (not in an ice core, make sure we get that straight), dormant for eons, then released upon a populated world. They're hungy!!!! 10.

On set:

One of those episodes where filming in Vancouver actually works. Apparently, though, the weather was so bad and the location was so remote that everyone was pissy the whole shoot, and the director (Joe Napolitano) never came back for another episode. Oof.

Effects-wise, most notable are the bugs themselves, which are very obviously CGI. Shots where they're superimposed over the actors, diligently pretending to fight them off, don't always work. I'm also still not 100% sure how those little guys are supposed to get an adult male up a tree... the cocoon does look really cool, though!

Scenes in the forest and the cabin, on the other hand, are gorgeous. Outdoor scenes are allowed to breathe, with just the location itself doing most of the work, while in the tight quarters of the cabin, moody high-contrast lighting and creative angles give a sense of claustrophobia.

Of course, I can't go without mentioning Scully's adorable windbreaker in the iconic 90s jewel tones. Instead of blow-drying her hair into the pageboy perfection we see in most episodes, she's wearing a messy ponytail and letting her curls go crazy. 7 overall.

Music:

I'll be completely for real. I didn't pay any attention to the music. It was probably just fine though. 5 to cover my ass.

Demerits:

Boringness: It held my attention :)

CCWFL (Chris Carter Wankfest Level): He can't resist the mysterious government agents covering up evidence, can he. 2 because it's not that bad.

Bonus points:

Scully's coat gets an automatic extra point.

Hell, another point for cute bugs and big trees.

Merits: 41

Bonus: 2

Demerits: 2

Episode total: 41/60

Favorites:

"Come on Scully, it'll be a nice trip to the forest."

I like the moment between Mulder and Scully when she gets a little upset with him for letting Doug take their vehicle and fuel can, but after his rebuttal they both agree that arguing won't accomplish anything -- they need to focus on surviving. He acknowledges he made a mistake, and she doesn't rub it in, and they keep working together.

"Take a good look, Scully. Rugged, manly men in the full bloom of their manhood." "Right, but what am I looking for?" "Anything strange, unexplainable, unlikely...a boyfriend?" Is that a dis, Mulder? lol

"That's a lot of flannel to be choking down, even for Bigfoot."

Scully being hoisted up into the tree and then her little look of disgust when she sees the hand sticking out....lmao

"It's a male." "Barely."

"Oh, a brain-sucking amoeba."

Biden não pode escapar da sombra de Trump na crise fronteiriça

Biden não pode escapar da sombra de Trump na crise fronteiriça A recente onda de migrantes que atravessam a fronteira entre os EUA e o México colocou o Presidente Joe Biden numa situação difícil e politicamente ameaçadora. Os líderes democratas estaduais e locais, que deveriam estar entre os seus aliados mais próximos nas eleições presidenciais do próximo ano, estão criticando duramente a forma como ele lida com a imigração. O seu provável adversário republicano em 2024, Donald Trump, está a intensificar os seus ataques sobre uma questão que tem sido uma parte central da sua mensagem política durante quase uma década. E o apoio público a Biden nesta situação está a azedar. Embora ainda falte mais de um ano para a votação, a crescente crise migratória - cujos efeitos se fazem sentir a milhares de quilómetros da fronteira entre os EUA e o México, em parte porque os governadores republicanos têm enviado migrantes recém-chegados para cidades governadas pelos democratas - poderá ser um desafio assustador. um obstáculo político à popularidade de Biden e às suas esperanças de reeleição. Os números pintam um quadro sombrio. De acordo com dados preliminares do Departamento de Segurança Interna dos EUA obtidos pela CBS News, parceira da BBC, a Patrulha da Fronteira dos EUA deteve aproximadamente 210.000 migrantes indocumentados que entraram nos EUA durante o mês de Setembro. Essa é a marca mais alta do ano e chega perto de igualar o pico recorde de apreensões mensais do final de 2022. Se a administração Biden pensava que a crise na fronteira estava a abrandar e que os holofotes nacionais se deslocavam para outras questões após as mudanças na política governamental no início deste ano, o aumento mais recente deveria dissipar essa noção. Além do mais, a natureza da onda de imigrantes sugere que poderá não haver fim à vista. Cerca de um quarto das apreensões fronteiriças no mês passado eram cidadãos da Venezuela, a nação sul-americana que tem enfrentado dificuldades políticas e económicas sob a ditadura socialista de Nicolas Maduro. O êxodo venezuelano criou uma crise hemisférica de refugiados, com mais de sete milhões de pessoas a fugir do país – e as consequências são cada vez mais sentidas em solo americano. Mais de 150 mil venezuelanos rumaram para o norte em direção aos EUA, através do Darian Gap para a América Central, nos últimos dois meses, de acordo com o governo do Panamá. “As pessoas não saem de casa só por diversão”, disse Janet Napolitano, chefe da segurança interna durante o governo Obama, à BBC. “Eles geralmente estão em situações desesperadoras – pobreza, desemprego, alta criminalidade, violência, falta de instituições civis em seus países de origem”. Um guarda de fronteira dos EUA observa migrantes entrando nos EUA Na quinta-feira, a administração Biden anunciou duas novas medidas para enfrentar o aumento dramático – e ambas expuseram o presidente a ataques de todo o espectro político. O presidente emitiu uma série de isenções ambientais e de planeamento e libertou fundos para construir secções adicionais de muro ao longo da fronteira entre os EUA e o México. Ele também revelou que os EUA retomariam as deportações diretas de cidadãos venezuelanos – prática que havia sido suspensa devido às tensas relações diplomáticas entre as duas nações.   Estas novas medidas foram rapidamente denunciadas como insuficientes pelos radicais da imigração e como excessivas pelos activistas de imigração de esquerda. As explicações confusas do presidente – de que ele ainda acredita que os muros não funcionam e que foi dinheiro que foi forçado pelo Congresso a gastar – agravaram a situação. O anúncio venezuelano também representa uma mudança de atitude por parte da administração, após medidas tomadas no mês passado para permitir que aproximadamente meio milhão de refugiados venezuelanos nos EUA solicitassem autorizações de trabalho e evitassem a deportação durante 18 meses. Ao tentar atenuar as preocupações de que não está a fazer o suficiente para enfrentar o aumento da fronteira e ao mesmo tempo manter os seus apoiantes liberais felizes, ele parece não estar a satisfazer ninguém – um enigma que se manifestou repetidamente na política de fronteiras durante a presidência de Biden. A imigração tornou-se uma questão intensamente polarizadora, devido em grande parte à retórica de "construir o muro" de Trump e, por vezes, às políticas draconianas durante a sua presidência. Isso reduziu enormemente a flexibilidade política de Biden para lidar com as crises. Um protesto anti-imigração ocorreu em Nova York no mês passado Enquanto Barack Obama conseguiu aumentar as deportações e reforçar a segurança das fronteiras durante a sua presidência sem enfrentar reações negativas por parte dos ativistas liberais, Biden não tem esse luxo. Cada passo que dá em matéria de imigração é agora visto no contexto do actual ambiente de guerra de trincheiras político-partidárias, com Trump e os Republicanos de um lado e os Democratas do outro. Entretanto, sondagens recentes sugerem que, nessa luta partidária, o público está a virar-se contra o presidente. Os entrevistados numa nova sondagem da Universidade de Marquette com eleitores registados foram convidados a escolher quem era “melhor” na questão da imigração e segurança das fronteiras, o actual presidente ou o homem que ele substituiu. Cinquenta e dois por cento disseram preferir Trump, enquanto apenas 28% optaram por Biden. Isso está relacionado com a economia como a maior disparidade temática entre os dois candidatos e contrasta com temas como o aborto e as alterações climáticas, onde Biden tem uma liderança sólida. Esses resultados foram reflectidos numa sondagem da NBC News, que revelou que 45% dos americanos pensavam que os republicanos eram melhores a lidar com a imigração, contra apenas 27% dos democratas. Representa uma mudança marcante em relação à presidência de Trump, quando a maioria do público norte-americano preferia os Democratas. Outros presidentes conseguiram dinheiro para uma barreira fronteiriça – porque não Trump? O ruído constante de notícias perturbadoras provenientes da fronteira, bem como a pressão sobre os serviços públicos sentida pelas principais cidades dos EUA onde os migrantes estão a instalar-se, estão a deixar uma marca visível na opinião pública. E se a crise não diminuir antes do início da campanha para as eleições gerais de 2024, o presidente enfrentará o seu adversário republicano num terreno político desfavorável. Segundo Napolitano, resolver a crise da imigração exigirá um esforço concertado da equipa de Biden. “Isso requer alcance diplomático”, diz ela. "Requer investimento noutros países para que retiremos alguns dos incentivos à migração. E requer uma forte segurança nas fronteiras e uma aplicação eficaz das nossas leis de imigração, que precisam de ser alteradas e reformadas." No final, as críticas que Biden receber pelas suas ações em matéria de imigração esta semana serão muito menos importantes do que saber se as novas políticas funcionam ou não. Se não o fizerem, e se as outras medidas da administração Biden para estancar o fluxo de migrantes da Venezuela e de outros lugares também não tiverem sucesso, o seu caminho para a reeleição torna-se mais perigoso.
