    Rick needs to teach Solomon Grundy how to throw AK47's and C4 into the cell.

    I just chuckled because this show still thinks that jails are like in the 'olden times' with just bars on wall openings to let the prisoners get some fresh air.

  2. This show is just giving me whiplash from last week's "Anthology of Horror" to this week's backdoor pilot to next week having Archie back in the trenches in World War 1 again. A few episodes ago Jughead got in a semi that we thought was the Trash Bag killer but then he keeps showing up as if nothing's happened. This season is an absolute mess!

    My husband thinks it's funny that Brett, who ended up playing a bad guy (or an alien; I forget which, maybe it was both) in Agents of SHIELD, is a Hallmark leading man, but I have to say, I think he's another reliable lead actor they don't use enough. It probably helps that I stopped watching AoS before his evolution into badness. I really liked him in Just My Type with Bethany Joy Lenz, which I also happened to catch just a few days ago.

    Oh, my wife will not watch a Hallmark movie with Brett Dalton just because of what happened to his character on Agents of Shield. She audibly sighs, "Ugh, Ward" and leaves the room or turns the channel.

    Still waiting and sad over Nick.

    I know. I keep seeing him and thinking that he looks so happy and healthy. Bill was broken up over the Mahlon's death. I can't imagine how he's going to feel when he hears about Nick. I almost feel ghoulish watching and knowing what's coming. It's feel so different knowing that this is a real person instead of a character in a book that I know doesn't make it.

  5. Ok, to inject a little levity into this sad affair ... whenever a notification from this thread pops up on this page I keep mis-seeing it as "ALIEN-v-farrow" and wonder what sort of dark, vindictive turn the Alien sci-fi franchise has taken.

    Liked that we got terminators of minor characters, too, like the lone Ostrich in the audience got one.

    I was disappointed that we didn't get a "No" from the Consuela terminator.

  7. Gah, I'm finally getting around to watching this final season ... and it's been a slog. While I know that it's not interesting tv to have the "good guys" always win but this season has been absolutely exhausting with loss upon loss upon loss upon loss piled up on the team. I'm dreading watching the 2-hour finale and just want to skip to the end to see Fitz & Simmons happily together, Mack & Yo-Yo together, May with a smile on her face, and Deke happily ensconced in the nineties fronting the grunge band Nirvana in an alternate timeline.

  8. I'm ok with the 7-year jump but all the characters still looked like they were in high school. They needed to change up their looks a bit to "age them up" a bit. I was happy to see that Archie's hair looked more muted when he was in the Army but then it returned to it's "day-glo" orange color once he was on the streets in Riverdale. It must be something with the atmosphere there.

  9. Ugh, I despise having Christian as a judge. His Jersey-shore, goodfellas, over-enunciation of italian phrases is even more annoying than Giada's. Plus, he just wouldn't stop shouting during the competition. The overly dramatic commentary as the clock is winding down is really starting to "grind my gears".

  10. I've never read the books so this is all new and I'm sorta lost because adaptations never do the books justice.

    That said, the single best part of this episode was Lyra eating popcorn. Dafne Keen's line reading of "I can't!" when asked why she didn't just stop eating the popcorn that she described as "like sawdust" made me laugh out loud! She brings a great intensity to this role.

    I was watching Five Star Christmas on Hallmark and lo and behold, Sarah showed up as the dead mother in a home video.  

    Spoilers!!!

    Actually, I was just coming here to say that I was watching "Welcome to Christmas" from 2018 and Sarah has a part in that one too. It's sorta taking me out of the movie a bit every time she pops up on screen.

    Ryan Paevy's Christmas movie this year (A Timeless Christmas) is about a rich man time-traveling from 1903 to present day and falling in love with a woman who works in his mansion-turned-museum.

    In 2016, there was "Journey Back to Christmas" with Candace Cameron Bure. The synopsis (thanks IMDB) is - "A WWII era nurse is transported in time to 2016 and meets a man who helps her discover the bonds of family and that the true meaning of Christmas is timeless."

    Regarding Follow Me to Daisy Hills - while appreciating the recognition given to the very real quality of the Writers' Workshop at the school (https://writersworkshop.uiowa.edu) ... it is the University of Iowa, not Iowa University. Probably makes no difference to anyone but me, but it was like nails on a blackboard every time someone said it.

    I just assumed that they said Iowa University because they wanted to use a fake name or didn't feel they could use a real school - I wasn't aware of Iowa's Writer's Workshop. Being Hallmark, I'm just surprised they didn't have her college options end up being a choice between College University and State Tech A&M.

    That said, Follow Me to Daisy Hills was just dreadful. The lighting was horrible (e.g. the first scene with Blake made him look like an albino or a vampire) and the background music was way too loud (including the incessant guitar strumming in the beginning party scene). I can't wait to listen to the Deck the Hallmark podcast of this one!

    No joke, the Deck the Hallmark podcast has been one of the very few bright spots for me over the past few months.

    I just discovered it myself and they're hilarious! It's great when they do interviews with the actors (Kristoffer Polaha, Cindy Busby, etc.) because they come off a real people and have fun talking about the movies.

  15. There is absolutely not a single person to root for on this show. As a viewer, I'm hoping they all fail and get thrown into jail! Please tell me this is the last season. Otherwise, I'm going to need some Vigilantrix to help me finish up future episodes because my "mild" OCD tendencies requires that I finish the entire series.
