    LOL that Virgin River is still recovering from devastating wildfire damage, but the town can still put oil a lavish Labor Day carnival.

    Charmaine has been pregnant since 2019. How many carnivals has the town had in those seven months?

  2. "You shall appoint three cities on this side of the Jordan, and three cities you shall appoint in the land of Canaan, which will be cities of refuge. These six cities shall be for refuge for the children of Israel, for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them, that anyone who kills a person accidentally may flee there." Numbers 35: 14-15

    That Leonard sure knows his Bibie!

    Third, why does Tina call Carm Jeff or Jeffrey?  At first I thought I was hearing Jeff instead of Chef.  But CC had Jeff several times.  And then a few times she clearly called him Jeffrey. 

    I can tackle this one. In the very first episode, Carmy responds to Tina with, "Yes, Chef." Tina hears that not as Chef but 'Jeff'. Carmy explains he said Chef and that he did so as a sign of respect, While the 'Chef' stuck, the 'Jeff' did as well. Tina even calls him Jeffrey at least once, and one staff member (Sweeps?) calls him Jefferson once. While Tina might have meant said it at first to mock Carmy, I believe over time she uses it as a sign of affection/respect.

    When Buck was holding the baby and looking at it for a long time, I thought "damn, Buck imprinted." 😆

    I was even looking for a birthmark over the baby's left eye.

    an we talk about Tommy's waist-long braids and how unsafe those were in the field? I can't imagine city/county paramedics are allowed to have hair below the neck

    So unflattering. So dangerous.

    Let's be honest, even if he had Huntington's, TK is very likely to die in some freak accident before symptoms would show up.

    Yes, Natural Selection claimed TK a long ago.  I am reminded of Lassie desperately trying to save Timmy from all the wells he fell into.

    One last thought about why Joel wouldn’t tell Midge the truth is that Midge would have wanted everyone to be free of mafia entanglements and Joel had done the math and knew that wasn’t an option. Midge has never really experienced something tragic and unjust that can’t be changed. Her reaction to insist that everything go her way might well have gotten some or all of them killed. 

    Midge would not have been able to help herself- all the Mafia stuff would have been incorporated into her stand-up routine.

    The subplot with the magic show was just dumb, it was unreasonable to expect Sylvie to step in on such short notice when she has zero experience. And what kids that age want to see card tricks??

    ..beacuse your boyfriend is off to Vegas with his brother? Sylvie, why weren't any of your girlfriends telling to dump this guy?

    n the flashback, we saw that Grace "switched" drinks by simply taking his.
    It was a very believeable sleight of hand. 
    Probably the most believeable thing in the episode.

    She was always clever to say, "I'll have whatever you are having."

    (I did notice that it kind of misled us at the beginning with Sister MJ - thinking her first baby was a son made me think the dementia line was back on, and I rolled my eyes for a hot second.)

    I thought the first born had transition from a boy to a girl, and that we were going to bring in 2023 transgender concerns.

    Jude looks much better than when he had his hair long. He is still channeling some imagined philosopher in the 60's. The turtle neck the aloofness, drugs - apparently - all the time. No longer Judecorn.

    Jude's turtleneck looked awkward- too high and tight. I wondered if it was covering up the actor's tatoos.

    What made the erasure of the brother characters decisive for me was that nobody said anything in-show about their absence.

    But I also realized Sumi wasn't there, was she? Nobody mentioned that, either... or if they did, I didn't notice.

    I agree.

    Writers, steal these lines:

    "Wasn't it great to Facetime with Jesus this morning? I miss him so much."

    "Brandon will try to call later. He hopes to be back at Christmas if his concert schedule allows."

    "I wish Sumi could be here, but her parents insisted she be with them this year, what with the new baby and all."

    Actually I would find the revolving door of Owen's women much more entertaining if it was a running gag that they were all some sort of criminal and it always ended with them going to jail for something and it was their involvement with Owen that finally got them caught.

    Love this! Like a variation of the 'Carwright Curse' on Bonanza. (Third eligible sons who couldn't get a bride down the altar as something always went wrong/was revealed just before the wedding date..

    Except that the title said 'One Year Later' (from the Charlotte-Zander wedding) and that baby was definitely older than three months.

    Oh my gosh! I just did the math. Could that baby (who looks at least six months old to me) be Charlotte's and Ralph's? Could Colbourne be raising yet one more child that he didn't shire? What god did he piss off?

    And the completely fairytale ending shot, panning out, as if the utopia of Sanditon miraculously solved the problem of street grime and squalor with universal good intentions. Rather Hallmarkian, no?

    It's weird that Lady Lydia was having a secret romance with someone we never even got to see.

    I had to complete this story in my own head. "Lydia is marrying the Colbourne's groomsman. That why Lydia spent so much time with on Zander's property riding the horses."

    I doubt Trixie has any other friends other than the midwives.  All of her time off is now spent with her fiance and she lives at Nonnatus so where would she meet anyone else?  Maybe she had friends from nursing school but she's been at Nonnatus for a lot of years now so probably lost touch

    I bet she has friends from the 12-step program.

    I don't know why they started cpr on frozen husband. I doubt very much that a home cryo set could malfunction that badly but if the body is that frozen, he's not coming back. 

    Why did Owen do the CPR when all the paramedics were standing nearby?

    I think that was a redemptive arc for Edward and the only one that I am ok with.  He let her go.  There was actually something noble in that in my mind. 

    I totally agree with you. I think we saw Edward finally develop a conscience. Or maybe that was too low for even him to go. If Sanditon were to continue for several seasons, I could imagine Edward and Augusta finding each other again after Augusta has been somewhat roughened up by life (i.e. her first husband dies from Mary's fever right after the baby is born.)

    I don't get why the philandering husband would have bothered with the saintly dog rescuer act for Marjan. That date with chaperone and her demeanor and choice of modest clothing clearly spelled out that she wasn't going to be hopping into bed with him quickly, and surely he wasn't going to fake months of a chaste romantic relationship to cheat on his wife.

    I totally agree. It made me think though that that firefighters need to be careful not to hook up with people who like to stay because firefighters can't come home every night, and those days gone are scheduled so the philanderer would know when the house would be empty.
