shapeshifter

At least my wrong FJ guess was Hemingway.

Some of these traits of UK Thomas seem folded into the US character of Flower, but with 1960s themes.… …Maybe we were supposed to assume Thomas was high on opium/laudanum? Or even cocaine? (like Hetty mentions) victorianweb.org/victorian/science/addiction/addiction2.html Robin was the surprising highlight of the UK show.

I can't personally recall knowing if an overdose of an acquaintance, neighbor, celebrity, or even a relative was definitively accidental or suicide. So maybe the writers intended to make it vague?

No, the daughter your age is 10 years older. So this was in the 2000s. And it was for both school snacks from vending machines and after school snacks, which involved walking into town with wealthier friends to Starbucks… when I thought they were at the library. I didn't get home from work most days until 5:30.

Here's the Compare and Contrast thread!

Compare and contrast High Potential with the original, French-language version, HIP: Haut potentiel intellectuel, currently available on Hulu for streaming through season 4: hulu.com/series/hip-high-intellectual-potential-ff569a53-672c-488f-82ec-59b7b0eb886b You can watch with either subtitles or dubbing. There are more adaptations in other languages too: wikipedia.org/wiki/HPI_(TV_series)#International_adaptations This thread can be a place to compare and contrast any of the different versions of the series. Since this is just one thread for the entire, already aired series, there will be spoilers. IMDb has detailed descriptions of the French episodes: imdb.com/title/tt14060708/episodes and (currently) briefer descriptions of the more recent English-language episodes: imdb.com/title/tt26748649/episodes Wikipedia has more detailed synopses of the English-language adaptation episodes: wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Potential#Episodes Through at least March 5, feel free to message me about anything that should be added or subtracted from this top post. After that, probably contact a moderator?

Ugh is right. The chocolate!? Not the chocolate! My advice: Buy better quality chocolate. Hide it better. But more seriously, this may or may not give you hope for a brighter future: My youngest daughter is now 36. A few years ago she confessed to me that she took a $20 out of my purse on several occasions when she was in high school to buy snacks. I vaguely recall sometimes thinking I thought I had another $20 left, but it was not at a time in our lives when it would have impacted paying a bill on time or buying groceries. She has since more than repaid me. When she was in high school and it was just the 2 of us (her older sisters had moved out) several times I was annoyed when I wanted ice for some reason but the trays were empty. I assumed she had put empty trays back in the freezer. But after she went to college I discovered that the ice cubes were just evaporating.

Do you live in the States or Canada? Just wondering if they don't have much access to Tamiflu, or if Flu A is not the Tamiflu-effected flu strain? My 73-year-old sister did not have access to Paxlovid for Covid in Canada last year. But maybe it was because they live in a rural area? She claimed they don't have Paxlovid anywhere in Canada, but I always take everything she says with a huge grain of salt.

There was a line Elsbeth delivered in this episode in her scene in the back of the limo with the judge (Michael Emerson) which followed the established template for Elsbeth when she is letting the killer know that she knows they're the killer without her explicitly stating it. Columbo used to do the same.

That sure is a lot of girls! LOL I was one of 2 daughters. Then my sister had a daughter and I had 3 daughters. And now my youngest daughter (the only one who is having kids) has 2 toddler boys. My little grandsons have 11 cousins nearby through their Dad's extended family, and 10 of them are boys. I'm in my 70s and just now learning about boys. I have a lot of fun with them. They sure are energetic.

All 3 of my kids have related to me the way Teddy did in various ways and situations. That doesn’t make it normal, typical, or necessary behavior, but it sure was (sadly) familiar to me.

Even if this is mostly a rhetorical question, my answer to why Mattie and Edwin don’t see a therapist instead of playing Secret Agent, is because Kathy Bates is arguably most famous for her role in Misery, so there was likely a mandate from the producers and/or Paramount+ to integrate the essence of Misery’s Annie Wilkes into Mattie.🤷🏻 BTW, I’ve read about Misery, and I do not plan to ever watch it.

Call your doctor and ask if they should be seen. They will ask what the temperature is and how long it's been that high. Generally, if it's over 101, especially for 3 days, they should be seen. My little grandsons are in daycare, so they get sick a lot. Recently the 1-year-old was given Tamiflu, and he got better the next day.

Thank you! In that context "well" makes sense to me as an adverb describing the quality of the process of the legal deliberations. I don't have the same sense of the use of "well" in this context: "The phone and wallet disappeared and didn’t come back. They seemed well and truly lost" (Melissa Kirsch, nytimes.com/2025/02/22/briefing/lost-causes.html). But I suppose if one is familiar with "well and truly" as an idiom, the meaning is clear from usage, if not meaning and/or grammar.

Maybe Kelsey can produce Christmas specials.
