S01.E03: Weird Stuff You Can’t Explain
ItCouldBeWorse replied to chitowngirl's topic in St. Denis Medical
I also saw the resemblance: https://m.imdb.com/news/ni64625884/?ref_=nm_nwr_1 -
Oh, he was definitely going to drain everyone as the HR guy telling inappropriate jokes. Doesn't he have to bore them to drain them? Not enrage them or annoy them? But then Colin basically beat him up, with a break in between. With conventional vampires, Guillermo was able to anticipate their every mood, as if he had foreknowledge or a spidey sense. This is my inclination. The writers have a good understanding of their own lore, so I doubt they screwed up. Nor did I.

So deleting a video from your phone would definitely not delete its existence. In fact, it would be far safer than my phone, where a person might use my finger to gain access to my Trash and delete it from there. However, the police might never find your backup device or cloud account, so you really should entrust someone with that information, in case you are throttled by an angry chef.

S01.E03: Weird Stuff You Can’t Explain
ItCouldBeWorse replied to chitowngirl's topic in St. Denis Medical
I was prepared to find out that the chaplain was actually Jewish and didn't want to say so (his sect was "private") because St. Denis has mostly Christian patients. It's true that Gehazi and Elisha are from the Hebrew Bible, but anyone could make a mistake, but it would explain not knowing about Paul. But that was ruined with the fake divinity school. That's straight up fraud. This episode was very good. I really like David Alan Grier in this role. I don't believe that that giant cross would have been allowed in the surgical suite. -
Is it possible that only is triggered by attacks from conventional, blood-sucking-type vampire ? I don't think we've ever seen him attacked by an energy vampire before. Would Guillermo have any advantage if he were fighting a human with a knife? Colin must really have wanted to help Guillermo, since he didn't seem to have taken the opportunity to drain the other office workers while he was there.

So Colin Robinson is overly sensitive to allegations that he has mental health issues? I suppose the doctor was so confused by Lazlo, he didn't think to recommend that Sean see an internist for blood pressure medication? That's usually a good place to start when you have sky-high BP.

1) Malcolm, in his interview, said he started the duck at midnight 2) Veev, in her interview, said she went downstairs around 1 am when she was "ambushed," which fits more or less with her flipping the duck at 1:30 3) She would have set the oven alarm for about 3 am 4) The staff arrived shortly after the police. It was in the morning, after Kaya and Elsbeth's normal work day had started. Probably not before 8 am. 5) So the duck would have been in the oven (whether cooking or not) for at least 8 hours 6) I think after Veev "flipped the bird" at 1:30, she probably did pass out/fall asleep until the police somehow knew to come. I'm definitely willing to believe she gave herself a concussion. But, she might also have been feigning it, waiting for the staff to arrive and find her 7) How did the police even know to come to the restaurant? (Certainly not because someone tried to make a delivery, entered an unlocked door and found Veev on the floor.) It wasn't the staff, because they arrived after the police were on the scene, and were shocked at the attack. (see #4) I think she did turn on the dishwasher You're right. It was a quick movement, but she did. Although she got rid of her fingerprints that way (when she took off her glove to delete the photograph, I knew that her fingerprint on the phone would later be used as evidence against her), but there's no doubt in my mind that the tenderizer would have been matched to the wounds. The value of that was that the assailant didn't come into the kitchen with a weapon, but grabbed what was there, so possibly a crime of passion (or someone who was both familiar with the kitchen and knew how to run a commercial dishwasher.) If I were to get more picky: I also think that the gloves that Veev used to strangle Jordan would still be there, with her DNA on the inside and his on the outside, unless she had the presence of mind to stick then in a pocket and then dispose of them once she left the precinct. There would have been evidence of latex, or whatever the gloves were made of, in Jordan's neck, I would presume, and no fingerprints, so the police would at least look for gloves, examine the kind of glove used in the kitchen, etc. I was at least impressed that Veev didn't explicitly confess to the crime once she was handcuffed, unlike almost every other arrestee on this show. I was surprised that the detective asked her about the video while putting on the handcuffs (before saying to save it for the trial), because anything Veev had said just then would have likely been inadmissible without having received Miranda warnings. I'm curious; what if you lose your phone or it breaks in such a way that you can't transfer anything to a new one? Do you manually back up just the photos you want every day, or transfer them to a physical memory device?

Yes, her presence was not invaluable before then. If it were, how would she ever be able to leave?

S01.E02: A Very Robust Personal Life
ItCouldBeWorse replied to chitowngirl's topic in St. Denis Medical
I agree that the show wasn't implying that Bruce was a transplant surgeon, but, instead, that Matt (the RN) was inferring that he was. Matt's part of the conversation with Bruce: "If I were an organ donor, would you try less hard to save me so you could, you know, use my organs?" "Uh, I was just worried it'd be too tempting to let me die." "Well, I mean, I'm just one little life but if I died, you know, somebody would get my lungs, my kidneys, my heart. I mean, you would save, like, a dozen extra people." I took that to mean that Matt thought that Bruce would be personally transplanting the organs that could save "a dozen extra people" because Matt is such an ill-informed person, he actually believed Bruce would have such a major personal stake in a potential organ-donor situation. But I could be mistaken. I'm not going to try to convince you to watch more of it, but Superstore got pretty funny, with great background customer bits and a lot of very funny actors. Bruce, the surgeon had a recurring role as a pharmacist on Superstore. St. Denis is much less funny, so far than Superstore. (But it's still early.) That is true, but parts of it were still very funny to me. There's also little chance that the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin from The Office would have been profitable, with so many employees doing basically nothing (despite Michael apparently being an excellent salesman.) -
In some places, garbage won't be collected if it's loose in the bin, and recycling won't be collected if there is general trash in there. I did notice that Colin threw his trash into the recycling bin.) I've heard people complain about dog owners dumping their bags of poop in other people's trash cans as they walk by. (If the cans are out after trash day, the poop will sit there for a week, stinking up the can) or recycling bins (so the homeowner has to remove it.) Or throwing their general trash in strangers' bins. Thank you! I kept trying to figure out who she reminded me of at various points in the show. I would never have figured out it was Jane Leeves. It's a little unusual that one sister had a strong English accent.

S01.E05: Thanksgiving
ItCouldBeWorse replied to chitowngirl's topic in Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage
She was also working at the church before she was fired because the family needed the extra income. It wouldn't be enough to make up for George's paycheck. If Georgie and Mandy move in, water and food bills will go up. They're probably not paying Mandy's parents anything for living with them, so they can save up. Plus, they have their own bathroom. It would work out better if Georgie and Mandy just gave Mary money if she needed it, and stayed with her parents. -
S01.E05: Thanksgiving
ItCouldBeWorse replied to chitowngirl's topic in Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage
She also thought it was weird to talk to her father's grave after Georgie suggested it, but was glad she did it. She was pretty naive to think Mary would never discover her tattoo, but she could have done a better job hiding it so soon after getting it. Georgie is savvy enough to figure out that that's how Mandy got Missy to come to dinner. I wonder if he will be mad at her about it, or even mention it. 100%. True, but according to Meemaw, Georgie and Missy, she's been ignoring Missy since George died. Even though Georgie is married and over 18, he's still young and doesn't ask her for much. (Not saying she needed to make Thanksgiving herself.) Although no one has asked, I'm going to cautiously conclude that George had an insurance policy of some sort. Georgie got George's truck (instead of it being sold) and Mary and Missy are still in the house, which has a mortgage. Sure, they're spending less on beer and food without George, Sheldon, Georgie and Mandy around, but George's salary was surely far greater than their grocery bill and George's gas (and possibly insurance) for his truck. But it's still early. Perhaps we'll have an episode where Mary's finances are addressed. -
I hope people know in real life, that deleting a video or photo from the phone of someone who takes them frequently probably only sends it to a trash folder where it will be easily recoverable for 30 - 60 days. TV detectives often don't. Elsbeth made it sound like some random kitchen took was used in Jordan and Veev. Even if the meat tenderizer was washed (did Veev also turn on the dishwasher?), it leaves very distinctive marks which should be easily matched. I'm having trouble with the timeline. Malcolm starts the duck around midnight? Veev confronts and kills Jordan, batters and throws herself down the stairs, and the timer goes off (after 1.5 hrs?). She gets up to flip the duck, sets the timer for another 1.5 hrs, and passes out. The kitchen staff arrive in the morning and finding Veev, call the police. The duck is still roasting, and the oven turns off. The staff did not come in at 3 am. Did Veev let the duck sit for 4 hours and then roast the other side?

Yes, and the investigator hired by Dickies' father raised the very important issue of where Tom's money came from (unlike Marge, he could follow up any claim about a bequest from Aunt Dot), but dropped it as soon as he heard that Dickie was supposedly gay. Tom was awfully lucky that none of the photographers following "Dickie" got a good shot of him.
