Having dealt with law enforcement in my misspent youth and a bit beyond, I can say with a fair bit of certainty that what you relate to a law enforcement officer is not always exactly, and sometimes very far from, what ends up on the official police report. I'm not saying that law enforcement is always deliberately deceptive, but unless there is a public transcript or video of the statements of the persons involved, I take any official statement made by law enforcement with a grain of salt. By the time it makes it to the newspapers, it's something else entirely. So as far as Emily implying that everything she read about the case is gospel, that's some bullshit.

Actually, its easier to get in through a large door or window than it is a small one, broken or not. Most burglars go through doors, not windows. Most security cameras aren't monitored in real time and even though they were caught on video clips in this case, they haven't been identified so far, so cameras aren't that much of a deterrent, really. Look at all the porch pirate videos people post and they don't help catch the theif or get their stuff back most of the time. Alarms don't even stop them if they know the location of what they want. They can get in and out before the police are notified. With our system, police aren't notified if the alarm is disarmed with the correct code unless it's gone off for a certain amount of time. Then the alarm company calls every contact number for the owner to make sure it's a real emergency and if they can't contact the homeowner they call the police. Our alarm company doesn't even call us back if the alarm is set off accidentally and we disarm it before it's gone off for a certain amount of time. I dont think it's possible to assume that "no burglar" would do this or that because most of them get off on the act of stealing whether they make any money off it or not. They like the rush, it's a drug to them.

OMG, I didn't catch that!!! Jeez, I must be old AF then.

Not necessarily and even if the dog did bark, dogs bark at nothing all the time or at least mine does. I dont always investigate to see what he's barking at. Dorit's house is big. Mine is probably a tenth the size of hers and yet it's still hard to hear some noises, especially if it's on another floor. Acoustics are weird.

Maybe the producers wanted them to see where their "food" comes from.

Zendaya blew me away...again. Her utter despair at the end brought actual tears to my eyes. I know how that feels when you're way too high and though I was never an addict or suicidal I did a lot of drugs when I was much younger and I was a serious abuser. As far as her plan to pay back the money for the drugs? She doesn't have one. She wants to get high, period. That's how it is - and you hate yourself so you think it would be better if someone did kill you or you OD'd or whatever. You just don't care. Her sadness and anger and pain took me back to the edge of some places I hadn't thought about in a LONG time. Thank God Cal's crazy was the next scene because I was considering blowing off work and just getting back into bed lol. This show is "fucking amazing." And because no one else will say it, I will. Regarding the opening montage...Rue, you in danger girl! Thats the guy who Ash hit in the face with the hammer after he killed Mouse. He's the guy who went with them to the drug dealer teacher's house where they were made to strip. He was telling Fez that Mouse's baby mama was coming around asking a bunch of questions.

Emily is one sloppy drunk.

Just started the last half of season 8 - the final season. OMG, it's dark. Like way dark. I had to literally turn away from the screen during a scene in epi 12 (second epi of last 1/2 of the season). You'll know which one I mean when you watch it. Or dont watch it, as the case may be. Ugh.

I like pregnant and sober Nilsa much better than drunk needy Nilsa. She ruins the shows for me normally, but I'm enjoying this season. That can't last, I'm sure.

Well Hello, Dylan. How YOU doin?

Hmmm....let's hope she gets a regular spot so we can see her bad side. The Best Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Barely Knows She’s on TV

Watch it. Now. You're welcome. 🙂

Ramona spies the staff and the first thing she does is call them "servants." People who "steam and press" things for her. She's so vile, I can barely look at her.
