True Directioner

If Warner Bros. came to you and gave you a clean slate for both The Vampire Diaries and the Originals/Legacies what would you change? I'll go first. 
          1. Get rid of Julie Plec. She will be nowhere near the new series. 
          2. Make the Originals (especially Klaus) more feared. 
          3. Stick close to the original books. There is so much in there that can be used for new lore and episodes. 
          4. Make Bonnie and the rest of her family one of the most powerful witch families around. 
          5. Give Bonnie her happily ever after. 
          6. Elena ends up with neither of the Salvatore brothers because she doesn't deserve them at all. 
          7. Katherine would pretty much stay the same except she would be feared a little bit more by the rest of the gang (minus the Salvatore brothers of course) 
          8. More back stories on the Bennett family (especially Emily)

How would you rewrite the whole AJLT (And Just Like That...) from scratch?

Here's how I would change And Just Like That... If HBO handed the show over to me with a clean slate. 
          
          10. Keep Samantha in London. (it's an excellent workaround to her not being present) She is still a successful publicist with a famous agency and is still the publicist of Smith, who is now a well known and highly successful film star/ soap opera actor, who is also now happily married with kids of his own. 
          
          Samantha and Smith's wife are really good friends and she's even the godmother to one of their kids. 
          
          She'll make a cameo appearance every few episodes. (But not a lot just enough to where you miss her when she's gone)

          8. Carrie meets up with Berger. He's a mildly successful author who is now married to a screenwriter. Him and Carrie realize that they can actually be friends since they are not in competition as writers anymore. And he's in a really happy and healthy marriage with his wife. His wife, however, is a HUGE fan of Carrie's and wants to do a collaboration with her to write a movie best on her book Sex and the City. (Carrie is hesitant at first due to the fiasco that is the Matthew McConaughey of 2000 but she eventually decides to do it after much convincing from both Berger and the girls)
          
          9. And finally Aiden. He and Kathy are divorced but they did do family therapy as a part of their divorce. He works out a lot of his issues. He then sees Carrie and Berger together and old anger flares up inside of him. They eventually go to Carrie's therapist and he admits that he never fully forgave Carrie for cheating on him with Big. For the first time, Carrie goes with her head and not her heart and makes the very mature decision that it's just not their time yet. They both have a lot of work to do on themselves. So Aiden leaves at the end of season 2 by walking into her old apartment, looking around and then telling Carrie that he forgives her and that she'll always have a place in his heart. And then he leaves. He then comes back in season 3 and finally, they are in the perfect place to have an adult relationship with each other.

Here's how I would change And Just Like That... If HBO handed the show over to me with a clean slate. 
          
          6. Miranda and Steve are having a hard time in their marriage. Miranda quits her job to go back to school and that puts all the financial pressure onto Steve. They start fighting a lot. Then they FINALLY decide to go to marriage counseling and Steve FINALLY realizes that he's never going to be enough for Miranda and that he deserves more. Brady praises his dad for FINALLY sticking up for himself when it comes to his mom. Miranda and Steve decide to separate and then later on divorce after almost 20 years of marriage. After all of that, that is when Miranda starts to explore her sexuality a little bit. During her internship she meets a strong, sexy woman and realizes that they have a lot in common. (Slow burn is okay as long as it's done right and properly. Also Miranda and this woman never, ever, have sex in Carrie's kitchen. Like, ever)
          
          7. Lisa Todd Wexley arrives on the show without all of that LOOK AT THE PEOPLE vibes!! She's introduced in a more respectable manner, by doing things at the school and comes into the cast as a nice interesting side character.

Here's how I would change And Just Like That... If HBO handed the show over to me with a clean slate. 
          
          1. Big stays dead. Carrie goes through a lot of the same stuff from season 
          She grieves, she obsesses, she writes her loved and lost book to work through the grief. she starts to feel better about her life with therapy. Narration is replaced with voice overs of Carrie talking to a grief therapist.
          
          2. Stanford also stays dead. He died during Covid. Anthony and Bunny widow bond and start a business together where charming gay men take widows out on dates. The ladies don’t want romance, just a charming dinner or theater date. Anthony got the idea from Japan and it’s going great. Hijinks ensue on a regular basis. 
          
          3. Charlotte and Harry are the only remaining stable couple on the show navigating being parents to a queer child. Charlotte goes back to work, and that helps take some of her obsession off of her kids. They kinda miss having her around and end up spending time at the gallery. They get mistaken as performance artists and end up working at the gallery as well on weekends. Hijinks ensue. 
          
          4. Brady sees Lily performing and realizes he likes her more than just friends. Since they’re dumb teenagers, they can jump into a dramatic relationship, with the whole breaking up, being in love, a pregnancy scare, just being over the top. Cause you know kids.
          
          5. Che never happens. (I love Sara Ramirez but no. Absolutely not)

I just got done watching Peaky Blinders: Immortal Man and all I got to say is this: WHAT THE FUCK!? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!? THEY THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD!!!!!!!!!

Uber Eats is starting to PISS ME OFF. Three times I have ordered from them and three different times their delivery drivers have been jackasses. One leaves my food by the damn trash!!!!! The other doesn't give me my full order only leaves me my drink and now the third has dropped my food off somewhere else!!!!! UBER EATS WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!!!

If I have said it once I'll say it a thousand times. If a person does not confirm or deny a rumor then it did not happen. Just because a "close" source has said that it's true doesn't mean it is. Neither Zendaya or Tom Holland has come out and confirmed or denied that they are married or have gotten secretly married. Therefore to me they are still engaged. And when Law Roach supposedly "confirmed" the marriage between them he "confirmed" it in a joking manner because the interviewer as per usual was being nosy and all up in Zendaya's business. Roach quickly deflected to something else right after. So yet again until Zendaya or Tom confirms that they are married they are still engaged.

RIP to Eric Dane. You will be truly missed.
