YOU 3.05 "Into the Woods"

[mannytoodope]

Gregory: Please hold. Interim Principal Gregory Eddie at your service. Janet: We'll dig into that later. First, an update. No concerns on the students thus far. And all the staff has passed my standard inspection. Gregory: I've longed for protocol. This is the best day of my life. Janet: Except for one person who isn't handling it well... at all. Gregory: Oh, well, look, that's just how Janine is. Janet: I'm not talking about Janine. Gregory: Jacob? That one lunch lady? Janet: Her name is Shanae. Gregory: That don't sound right. Janet: It's not her. Gregory: Well, who could it be? Mr. Johnson? Janet: That is the single most well-adjusted man I have ever met. I'm talking about Barbara Howard. Gregory: Are you sure you don't mean Janine? Janet: I'm sure. Listen, I've been with people in the aftermath of some tough situations... Heart attacks, flooding, wig falling off at an assembly. Nothing shakes people up more than a fire. There's usually something under the surface. Gregory: I feel like you're reading her wrong. Barbara is the most together and collected person at this school. She's made mistakes, but she moved on... Barbara: Oh! Miss Janet. There you are. I just wanted to reiterate that I am fine. Janet: Is that all? Barbara: Also, I wanted to add that I never listen to Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire" when it comes up on my Pandora. "I'm Every Woman," not a pyromaniac.

On today's episode of TALK in PInk, we welcome TV, Film, & stage actress and Owner of FourNaturalsHair.com, Shalita Grant! We all know that Hollywood values white hair, but what about black hair? In this talk, Shalita Grant, an authority, artist, and entrepreneur discusses the lack of care black hair receives in the entertainment industry. She shares her experiences and talks about the need for change. If you want to improve the natural hair that comes out of your head - then this is a must watch. Shalita shares how her experiences as an African-American Actress in Hollywood on the set of #NCIS, #You, and more helped lead her to #FourNaturalsHair and how shes helping the industry! Including you, ..... (You know who you are) #TALKinPINk #ShalitaGrant #WokeThotism Follow Shalita Grant @ShalitaGrant on IG Shalita Grant was inspired to launch haircare line after exiting her role as Sonja Percy on 'NCIS.' Following her exit from the series, Shalita has gone on to many projects from You to the award winning Abbott Elementary. During this time, she decided to launch her own line of natural products called Four Naturals. "For Black women, the way our hair is policed is that we're told it's unprofessional in its natural state," she said in an interview with Vulture in July 2020. "With NCIS, it wasn't just that the people didn't know how to do my hair. The cosmetology board teaches that hair is hair, which essentially erases Black and Asian hair, because there are differences." "It was all because, in their minds, a love interest doesn't look like that," she told the outlet. "A love interest has straight hair." She added, "It's all built around those assumptions, and I suffered because of that." She is on the path to helping to bring the best of what grows naturlaly out of our heads to the forefront

Lewsberg — Out and About (12XU)

Out And About by Lewsberg

The once post-punk clatter of Lewsberg has diminished to an unsettling hum. No longer scrambling, but even so, not at rest, the Rotterdam four-piece follows airy pop melodies into odd corners. Lyrics provoke and don’t quite resolve, drifting off into dot-dot-dotted elusiveness, while the hard edges of guitar and drums melt into lucid-dream-like sustained textures: organ, violin, floating female voices.

This fourth LP gives the two women in the band greater prominence, a trend that started with 2021’s In Our Hands. Shalita Dietrich, the bassist, sings or chants on a plurality of the tracks. Her cool, unruffled soprano brings the temperature down on jaunty “Without a Doubt,” casting an aura of calm over fractious jangle, much as Georgia Hubley does for Yo La Tengo. And yet while the tones are serene, the lyrics are knotty and complicated and terse, picking at big themes like alienation from thought and body and religion in fitful bursts of cogitation.

Arie van Vliet, the other main singer, pokes in his deadpan way at the absurdity of physical existence in “An Ear to the Chest.” His heart is beating faster. Could it speed up indefinitely? He asks the doctor. She runs some tests. It is all very quotidian, matter of fact, against a clangor of straight-strummed guitar and boxy drums. And yet it opens up into philosophy when the doctor says, “You asked for it. You asked for so much.” We did. We do. Our hearts put up with a lot.

Later in “Communion,” Lewsberg tips religious commonplaces on their sides. “Bless the lord my soul, as I watch him from above,” van Vliet chants in a lyric that doesn’t quite match up; it is usually the almighty who grants blessings and watches from overhead, not the person praying. And indeed, these lyrics have a moebius strip quality, where they seem to proceed in a logical way, then double back on themselves, so that you are all of the sudden upside down.

The best and most striking song comes near the end in “There’s a Poet in the Bushes,” a slow-paced, radiantly set piece that is at once a cosmic joke and a deep meditation. A poet sits in the bushes, taking literally the lines, “I am a poet. If I want the rose to bloom, the rose blooms,” and trying to will the garden to flower. Around him, ordinary suburban life unfolds; parents tell their children to stay away from the man in the bushes. The song is absurd and funny and profound, and though the rose never blooms, it says a lot about art and spirit and beauty.

And so, a band that caught our fancy with its slashing post-punk energy turns into something else entirely, more serene sonically, but still challenging in its slow, thoughtful way.  Here chilly, cerebral ideas provide structure for enticing pop, and the sweetness comes with a bit of vertigo.

The popular Netflix series You, starring Penn Badgley as the infamous Joe Goldberg, is returning for its fifth and final season. Fans of the psychological thriller have been captivated by Joe’s dark, twisted adventures, but now, his story is nearing its end. Netflix announced in March 2023 that the series would conclude with one last season. The decision was shared with excitement and a hint of suspense as fans await how Joe’s complex tale will wrap up. Let’s dive into everything we know so far about You Season 5, from the returning cast to possible storylines. Credits: wikicommons Gordon Correll, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0, via Wikimedia Commons The Story So Far In Season 4, viewers saw a new side of Joe Goldberg. After years of sinister behavior and a trail of bodies, Joe tried to leave his dark tendencies behind. Using the alias Professor Jonathan Moore, Joe settled into a new life abroad. However, escaping his past was not as easy as Joe had hoped. His deep psychological struggles and violent instincts surfaced once again, proving that running away would not free him from the consequences of his actions. Season 4 ended with Joe seemingly accepting his true nature, setting the stage for an intense and possibly explosive finale in Season 5. Who Is Returning to the Cast? Penn Badgley will once again take on the role of Joe Goldberg, a character who has left an indelible mark on viewers with his unsettling mix of charm and menace. It’s hard to imagine the series without him, and fans are eager to see how his journey will conclude. Charlotte Ritchie is also returning as Kate, Joe’s current love interest. Kate, who had her own complicated history revealed in Season 4, is likely to play a significant role in the final chapter of Joe’s story. A new character will also enter Joe’s life in Season 5. Madeline Brewer joins the cast as Bronte, a free-spirited playwright working in Joe’s new bookstore. This intriguing character is expected to add another layer of complexity to the story, especially as Joe’s obsession with women has always been a driving force in his actions. Additionally, Anna Camp will appear in a dual role as Reagan and Maddie Lockwood, twin sisters-in-law connected to Joe. Griffin Matthews is set to play Teddy Lockwood, Joe’s brother-in-law, adding more depth to the web of relationships surrounding Joe. Will Former Characters Return? As You approaches its conclusion, fans are speculating about the return of characters from previous seasons. Theories are buzzing about which of Joe’s past acquaintances—or victims—might make an appearance. One name that stands out is Jenna Ortega, who played Ellie in Season 2. Ellie’s fate was left unresolved, and showrunner Sera Gamble has hinted that they would love to bring her back if her schedule allows. Jenna Ortega’s rising fame from Wednesday has made scheduling a challenge, but the creators remain hopeful. Gamble also shared that anyone who wasn’t explicitly shown dying on screen could potentially return. She added that even deceased characters might appear through Joe’s vivid imagination, as he often revisits his past in haunting ways. During a special fan event in 2023, Penn Badgley teased the return of familiar faces. Actors like Travis Van Winkle, Shalita Grant, and John Stamos, who appeared in previous seasons, are among the names rumored to be part of the final season. What Can We Expect in Season 5? The final season is expected to bring Joe’s story full circle. While the exact plot details are under wraps, there are several clues about what fans might see. Joe’s ongoing struggle with his darker impulses is sure to be a central theme. In Season 4, he briefly tried to be a better person, but his efforts failed spectacularly. Season 5 may explore whether Joe can ever truly change or if he will fully embrace the darkness within him. Another major question is whether Joe will finally face justice. Throughout the series, Joe has committed numerous crimes, including stalking, manipulation, and murder. As the show reaches its conclusion, viewers are eager to see if he will be held accountable for his actions. Credits: wikicommons Mark Kari, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0, via Wikimedia Commons The introduction of new characters, like Bronte and the Lockwood family, adds further intrigue. These fresh faces could complicate Joe’s life in unexpected ways, leading to dramatic twists and turns. Themes and Reflections At its core, You is more than just a thriller. The series delves into themes of obsession, identity, and morality. Joe Goldberg is a complex character who forces viewers to grapple with their feelings toward him. Despite his horrifying actions, his inner monologues and justifications often create a sense of empathy or understanding. Season 5 is likely to continue exploring these themes, pushing audiences to reflect on the fine line between good and evil. As Joe’s story concludes, the show may leave viewers questioning not only his fate but also the nature of human behavior. A Bittersweet Goodbye As fans prepare to say goodbye to You, there’s a sense of both excitement and sadness. The series has left a lasting impact, becoming one of Netflix’s most talked-about shows. The final season promises to deliver a conclusion that will be as unforgettable as the journey itself. Whether Joe finds redemption, justice, or something entirely unexpected, one thing is certain: his story will keep viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end. Read the full article

Shalita Grant + Chicago PD/Fire

Thank you so much, @andromedalestrange! Also going to tag @rose-of-oz!

A former police department technician, Hazel Locke is looking for new avenues in life. When she signs up for the Chicago fire department, she honestly doesn't think much will come of it. She's not as young as your general recruit and has already had a career behind her. So she works at a technology repair shop for a while until a few years later, when the news comes in, she has been accepted for the academy. Against all odds in her life, she passes the academy and starts as a canditate at Firehouse 51. Hazel is quick to realize that this house and it's inhabitants are a family, and it takes her while to be intigrated. But Hazel is nothing if not determined. She chose this route. This second life. And if she has to work to make these people respect her, then that's what she will do. It helps that the former canditate and resident elevator guy is a helping hand.
