It’s Anton who reminds Alex of his closeted Russian past and who indirectly spurs Alex to commie-bash as a method of impressing Amy, who isn’t interested in his red scare. It’s Anton who immediately forces Deb's watchful eye toward irresponsible Alex and Blotter, after the boy goes missing during lunchtime and continues to wander off at least three more times by the end of the evening. But Anton, who speaks limited English and looks a bit like a young Soviet version of Gene Shalit, becomes more of a nuisance to both Alex and audience than any dead ghost has so far. I wish the campers were just slightly older, so I wouldn’t feel as bad judging Anton's ridiculous antics. Will Blotter woo Cricket early in the summer, or can Alex beat him to the punch and win Amy's affections? There's $50 on the line, along with some very heavy ‘80s-style petting that may or may not be just over-the-pants action anyway. That’s why he strikes up a bet with dungeon-master-turned-druggie Blotter to see who can claim the heart of their camp crush first.

(To recap the show's flashback crimes: Amy sort of, accidentally, maybe killed someone, and Alex gets free button-downs.) The audience now realizes Alex is a man of many missions - when he knows what he wants, he gets it.
Just the ability to come and go through this starchy Narnia like every day is fashion week.
Delasotta that, ultimately, allows Alex to take free clothes. Yes, Alex crafts an elaborate decade-in-the-making blackmail scheme against dry-cleaner owner Mr. We see how Alexei - who changed his name to Alex Powell - returned to that same dry cleaner a decade later with a mission to do what his father never did: Take back what’s his. We learn Alexei was quickly intimidated by society into rejecting his Russian heritage, after seeing what humiliation his father faced as a lowly clerk at a dry cleaner. We glimpse him as a child, leaving Russia in a hurry after receiving a pocketknife from his scary, milky-eyed grandfather (the pre-Buffy SMG). (I mean, honestly, he doesn't even seem that tall?) Our main counselor-flashback focus this week is Alex, or Alexei, as he was known back in the old country. We now have an "official" name for him: The Tall Man, which is only slightly more helpful than Old-Timey Piano Player. No one knows what may befall the unsuspecting attendees shuttling in for the summer - except maybe Deb, whose buried box of antique camp horrors remains as mysterious as which photos of Elizabeth Mitchell will pop up when you do a Google search for “smiling lady with secret.” As the new campers arrive - all of whom look much, much younger than I expected, for some reason - the ghost of the Old-Timey Piano Player looks onward, watching them arrive at his sick nature playground. It’s the day campers arrive at Camp Stillwater, where the ropes course hasn't yet been set up - but murder, arson, and a ritualistic deer sacrifice have all been checked off the to-do list. In the trailer, Al Roker recalls the sensation of anti-Barney furor, and one person remembers scandalous schoolyard rumors like “Barney hides drugs in his tail.” Words flash onscreen saying, “Why does the world love to HATE?” It all sounds a bit extreme, but then again - did you ever think a Barney trailer would have the words “death and dismemberment” in it? Did you think it would end in a shooting? I Love You, You Hate Me will premiere on Peacock on October 12 in all its big purple glory.Two simple themes dominated Dead of Summer's sophomore episode: romance and Russians, proving my just-now-made-up theory that Dead of Summer is actually just R.L. And here I thought singing “I hate you, you hate me, let’s go out and kill Barney” was just a healthy way for 6-year-olds of the time to signal they were big kids now. “Barney stands for inclusion, acceptance,” says Bob West, the voice of the big purple dinosaur, ergo, the “violent and explicit” plush-Barney-bashing imagery we see in the trailer must be against those values. He’s one of a number of talking heads in the trailer for I Love You, You Hate Me, a two-part documentary “chronicling the rise and fall of Barney the dinosaur’s furious backlash - and what it says about the human need to hate.” That’s … a pretty Hannah Arendt–ish choice for this subject matter. “What color is happier than purple? No color.” This sounds like an empirical fact because Bill Nye is saying it.
