Wow I find this season moving at warp speed compared with season 1 where literally nothing happened until the last 2 episodes. When Victoria was talking about not wanting to live if she wasnt rich,she toned down her annoying drawl. I wonder if that was a choice, to show she was being authentic. Anyways it made her less annoying. She has some funny lines but i cant stand listening to her speak.

I was trying to remember my blood bank training. I thought it was because O neg is more rare so save it for where it is really needed like women that may be pregnant or want to get pregnant . Not quite sure why children need of O neg, maybe just young immune systems more able to make antibodies against different blood types. At first I thought the guy making video was the shooter, then I thought Javadi is going to get decapitated by the helicopter.

Well, I believe that was a television first. At least it was for me. Much more graphic than Call the Midwife which I am used to. I remember my midwife asked if I wanted a mirror to look. Ah, no! I was taken a back at first for the crowning but could watch the birthing scene. Had to cover my eyes for baby not breathing scene. Those were always the hardest in CTM as well What is Jessie, the background guy? I can't figure out if he is a nurse or a resident or nurse anesthetist (if they have those there). maybe they said in the first episode but I forgot and he kind of just is in the background. So I was right, Robby was Collins' baby daddy....just not this baby. I didn't get it when Robbie offered the horse pills from Langdon's locker to the alcoholic.

And they looked like giant horse pills that would have never fit into the vial. This whole storyline makes no sense to me. I haven't been following along with the threads for each episode of this show, just came straight to this one to see if my Santos hate was shared, and I see it is! I just watched St Dennis Medical before this show. That was the first hospital show I have seen to feature the "Fillipino mafia". Also I thought today was the final episode but glad to see it is not, because....am I the only one who thinks Robby is Collin's baby daddy. (I called it on Episode 1).

I have been bingeing since from the start and the first season drove me nuts with the Macarooooooons. (since I love macaroons, the chocolate and coconut kind, and don't care for macarons). Not sure if it was this episode but definitely this season they all started saying macarON. Maybe it started with Mel and Sue pretending to have french accents or maybe they had a lot of complaints from North Americans. This episode also taught me why my mom always made trifle with jello (and whip cream, not always custard which was probably a pudding mix anyways). She said my Grandma who came from England but was Welsh gave her the recipe. Now I have learned that it is the Welsh way to use jelly in trifle but that transferred to the Canadian Prairie way of using Jello.

Mr Blackie and I were just talking about this. It kind of threw me off at first as it has been awhile since I read the book. I had to try to remember back if there were black characters in the book. But when I realized that they weren't playing a black character I kind of got used to it . (Also Young Hugh from The Detectorists as the barber was a bit weird). I don't know if these are the right casting decisions for a period drama.

The Great British Baking Show On PBS
Blackie replied to Athena's topic in The Great British Bake Off
I am just watching from the beginning and that happened in Season 1. Seems like this forum is quite old so I don't know if this is the place to ask but since I started watching from the beginning (season 1 and the Wedding Cake special ) it is driving me nuts that they say macaroon (that rhymes with balloon). I am from Canada and a macaroon is a chocolate and coconut cookie which I LOVE and I don't like the other too sweet confections which we pronounce and I think spell macaron. Help it is driving me nuts and making me crave a chocolate and coconut macaroon. -
I haven't been watching regular for awhile (I cut the cord) but I looked up the Sam scenes. There was some good acting but too many with the "no Sam's not dead,I just saw her and she was fine so she can't be dead" response. It got a bit monotonous. For sure it would be shocking to people since she was not expected to die but not everyone is going to do the big denial speech.

is equivalent to BLQ saying that Finn was in a "full blown alcoholic downward spiral" after getting drunk once or Chase comparing Finn's drinking to what he has seen on the job(very very bad situations I imagine) after Finn had a few drinks. The writing has gone from 0 to 100 for everyone, way too much catastrophizing the situation. The the actors have been doing a good job with what they are given though.
-
He needs some empathy and support, what his family has been doing has been no help to him what so ever. I agree, I hate this storyline.
-
That is the recommendation when he was in rehab for his drug addiction and but I do not believe there is any scientific evidence that he will automatically become an alcoholic just because he went on a bender in a state of grief.
-
This exactly!! This writing is insulting to anyone who has had a family member actual in a "full blown alcoholic spiral".

Doesn't Lady parts have publishing rights over their songs,shouldn't they be making money if another group is singing it? It seems natural that when the women are alone with each other that Amina and Ayesha take off their hijabs, so I don't understand why Momtaz would still wear her hijab and niqab. In my experience (living in the Mid East), women do not cover when they are just with women. So happy this show is back, but I am without TV for awhile so will have to find a place to watch it online.

A "full blown alcoholic spiral" ??? Please show, that is insulting.
