Sky Daddy healed me
Thanks to everyone on this sub for helping me out of an intense reading slump.
In August I read Big Swiss, Mad Mabel, A Good Person, Plant Lady and Yesteryear, and then got through these eight great reads in September.
My highlights this month were My Year of Rest and Relaxation as it resonated so hard, and, somewhat surprisingly, Sky Daddy.
I went into Sky Daddy with more than a little trepidation because my own dad “married a plane”, as Linda would say, and I still have flashbacks when I hear a light plane overhead. But I absolutely loved it - it was so weird and wonderful and Linda was such an interesting protagonist to spend time with - I actually think it’s helped me heal a little more from dad’s accident. 🩷
Love this sub 💐

S10 rewatch - what did people think of Tom Sandoval in real time?
Hi everyone - I’ve just randomly flicked on S10, starting around the time of Scheana & Brock’s wedding.
Firstly - my god this is art. I’ve only recently come to VPR and have done two full watches from S1ep1 through to end of S11. Randomly jumping into S10 half way through had given me a new appreciation of what entertaining TV this was.
I’ve just re-watched Ariana and Tom’s conversation about fertilising the eggs and his reluctance to stop drinking for 5 days, followed by Tom trying to pick a fight with Ariana about her being distant, not listening to him, never agreeing with him etc. It’s also wild they show the flashback to the reunion when Ariana calls Tom out on fertilising the eggs.
When this aired in real time, did people still like Sandoval at this point? Was anyone picking up on him picking fights with Ariana, or on any behaviour change? Did his behaviour around fertilising the eggs piss people off?

Arianna's face when Tom first promises.."Arianna I'm not going anywhere ever"
VS
Arianna's face when 2 seconds later Tom is all
"But apparently there's gonna be bulldozers in Vegas"
😂 I am dying over how predictable Tom was in that moment, I KNEW he was gonna say what she wanted to hear and then turn it around and say he was still going to Vegas lol
I gotta say, that This has been the most epic first watch of any show I've ever seen, EVER 🤣
