ItCouldBeWorse

I wondered if Gloria Vanderbilt (who was on her 4th and final marriage at this time) was completely left out of the show (at least, so far), so as not to antagonize Cooper. Of course, there was a miniseries about her childhood, but I don't think there's yet been a production that focused on her adult years. At one time she had a line of jeans, and her logo was a swan! From a New York Times article: about her: The jeans displayed her name on the back pocket for all to see and sported a little swan on the inner front pocket, a reference to Ms. Vanderbilt’s first stage role in 1954, in “The Swan” at the Pocono Playhouse in Pennsylvania. (She was also one of Truman Capote’s “swans,” that group of beautiful women he immortalized in the 1975 story “La Côte Basque 1965.”)

Neville works all day, correct? Other than taking him lunch, what is Jackie so busy doing all day that she can't order napkins or food? She could work 8 to 5 with a lunch break, then hand the dinner shift over to Harris and still be home more than Neville is (due to evening and weekend emergencies that call him out).

Ah, it wasn't the IRS: "Once a federal court ruled last March that Guest alone was responsible for Aerovias' bad debts, it was only a question of time before a federal marshal showed up at the Guests' Long Island estate. In August, he started tagging their paintings and objets d'art. Winston Guest went to court to stave off the indignity of a marshal's sale, got a month's grace, during which he scraped together the money to cover the half-million-dollar debt, plus $20,000 in interest and legal fees." That's why we later saw C.Z. tearing the tags off the paintings.

Becky is still in school and raising a child. Now Jackie will have to rely on Neville even more for money? Also, I just rewatched the first few minutes of the show and noticed that in the new opening, Darlene grabbed a random taco from the tray. So either she is eating meat, they are all eating fake meat (no way Dan would do that), or no one thought about the fact that she is a vegetarian when they were filming the opening, including Sara Gilbert (although Dan did mention Darlene's veggie dog in the Chicago scene).

Do you happen to know if the IRS raid on the Guests is fiction? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else.

I kind of had the opposite reaction. In all the career days I've seen on television, multiple parents would come to talk to the class about their jobs. This was only one speaker per class (although they did not appear to be parents, so I acknowledge that it would have taken some time to arrange it), and it was treated like a ground-breaking idea. Also, shouldn't Janine have checked that all the iPads were working and fully charged before handing them out? Why would one of them have been at 7% when she had 2 chargers? Take turns charging them all before giving them to the class!

I also remember him from Sirens, where he had the same kind of delivery. (He was a good guy, not smarmy, so I'm predisposed to trust him.)

Here you go (mostly from Wikipedia): C.Z. Guest only had only one marriage (resulting in 2 children), to a Churchill cousin who divorced his first wife 3 years before marrying C.Z., and remained married to him until his death. In contrast, Babe Paley was married to: 1) her first husband (with whom she had 2 children), for 6 years 2) Bill Paley the year after her divorce (and had another 2 children with him), remaining married until his death. They married 3 days after Paley's first wife (who had started an affair with Paley while still married to her first husband, a son of William Randolph Hearst), received a divorce in Reno. Lee Radziwill (Jackie Kennedy's sister) was divorced for the second time (a year before La Côte Basque was published) from a Polish aristocrat whose 3rd wife she was and with whom she had 2 children. (The Polish "prince's" previous (2nd) wife later married a British earl whose previous (2nd) wife later married Lee's first husband.) Years after Capote died, Lee married director Herbert Ross. Slim Keith: 1) had a daughter with her first husband, the director Howard Hawks (who had to divorce Norma Shearer's sister to marry her.) 2) She divorced the cheating Hawks to become the 3rd wife of producer Leland Hayward who divorced actress Margaret Sullavan (his 2nd wife, who had previously had a very brief marriage to Henry Fonda and a longer one to Director William Wyler) to marry her. She allegedly had affairs with Frank Sinatra and others, and Hayward divorced her after 10 years to marry Pamela Churchill (ex-wife of Winston's son), as his 4th wife (or 5th, since he had married and divorced his first wife twice.) Pamela is called "Pamela Harriman" in the 3rd episode of Feud, but she didn't marry Averell Harriman until after Hayward's death, years after the Black and White Ball. Pamela was the much older Harriman's 3rd wife. And his daughter by his 1st wife married Babe Paley's first husband, a year after their divorce, the same year Babe married Bill Paley. 3) At the time of the Black and White Ball, Slim was married to British banker Kenneth Keith, whom she later divorced. Between those times, he was knighted, and she became "Lady Keith". So maybe C.Z. Guest is boring because she had the least drama in her life of the above women? https://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/a46320559/who-was-cz-guest-true-story/ Has anyone seen evidence that the Guests actually had their assets seized by the IRS? She played Pamela Churchill Heyward (Harriman), currently married to Slim Keith's ex, Leland Heyward.

I think it was harder for a younger brother being compared to the older brother (Harry) or a younger sister being compared to the older sister (Margaret) where had the birth order been switched, the other would have been the monarch/future monarch, than it was for Anne, who was probably never really compared with Charles (unless we believe the part where Philip said she'd have made the better boy and vice versa). And once Andrew was born, despite being the 2nd child, Anne wasn't even 2nd in line to the throne anymore. I don't think she ever had younger/2nd child syndrome the way Margaret and Harry did. And even though Charlotte would be next in line after William had she been born before George, I still don't think that a younger sister would feel as competitive with an older brother. Not sure about Louis, but it is true that Charlotte and Louis will have each other.

Perhaps but he couldn’t pass. He looked at least late teens to me. Absolutely agree. Edited 3 hours ago by Sweet-tea The younger Harry actor was a child and the older one looked way too old (and doesn't resemble the real Harry). They needed a 3rd actor to play pre-teen Harry in this episode.

https://decider.com/2023/12/15/the-crown-season-6-part-2-viola-prettejohn-replaces-verity-russell-young-elizabeth-actress/ Agreed. There was a young man sitting next to Margaret at her birthday party, but he was way too young to be her son, and I doubt they would seat her grandson with her table without any other of her descendants.

Lola was played by Honor Swinton Byrne, Tilda Swinton's daughter. Kate hugged them when she came in the door with Rupert, and they were shown playing games after dinner. James was quite young.

Because showing the younger Harry actor drinking alcohol would have been absurd? They needed a bridge actor who could pass for 12 or 13.

Didn't he turn it off?

What would be the purpose of making more giardiniera right then when they were in the weeds (episode 7) if it takes 2 days in the fridge to pickle properly?

She wore 2 outfits. The cream one was from the town hall wedding. I thought that he pale blue one she wore to the religious blessing (to me it appeared to be gray) looked wonderful on her, and i loved the coordinating hat: https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/style/1590834/camilla-duchess-of-Cornwall-wedding-style-dress-bouquet-myrtle-prince-Charles

It's demonstrably hotter than it was when we were young.

Even within the fictionalized context of the show, it would be pretty inane for him to think that the mother of the future head of the Church of England would be willing to have children who would be brought up Muslim. That would never happen.

I realize this is heavily fictionalized, but in what world would a person believe that his son marrying someone's ex-wife would make him a close friend of her former in-laws? Even if she were an average person? It also seemed strange that when Diana "appeared" to Charles after her death, she said that everyone would be better off with her dead, and he didn't reply that the boys certainly wouldn't be. (I also thought it strange that Charles would have imagined her saying that at all, knowing how much she meant to the boys. Did he think that she thought they would be better off without her? He was shown craving motherly attention himself.)

She also told a land mine victim who lost his legs that she stepped on a land mine the day she married. I know that line was probably scripted for the show, but it makes her sound incredibly shallow.

Charles decided not to say anything; those who live there deserve to have a rodent infestation. To me, it seemed like she needed attention. William was having fun discussing the next James Bond movie with Dodi. Leave them alone!

I believe it's the failsafe? When the Loom explodes, all the timelines besides the Sacred one are destroyed. Previously, each time that Victor Timely failed, we focused on him spaghettifying, and then the TVA. We weren't watching the branches outside the TVA turn brown and wither. However, we saw what it looks like from the inside; in Sylvie and OB's variant timelines, just like in the TVA, everything spaghettifies. By averting the failsafe, Loki not only saved the various timelines by imbuing them with his energy, he also prevented the TVA from being destroyed.

Yes, if he could freeze her, he could kill her. Maybe that's too easy?

Or could he have asked her to read his thoughts, so she'd understand what he was trying to prevent? Did Steve Rogers hurt people, or did he just get his own happy ending?

Would Sylvie be able to visit? As Loki reminded her, she's also a god.
