This. Matthew kept exhibiting signs of stress, and he even stopped in the middle of driving to their seaside getaway to phone his stockbroker! I can't believe Trixie is that oblivious. Even if she isn't certain of the topic, how can she not see that something is very wrong? I also agree about the doctors being rather cold with the parents of the children with eye cancer. It shouldn't take Sister Veronica to tell the guy that he needs to explain things to the couple in layman's terms.

The only thing I've read is the second season will start filming in the summer.

I don't know about other cities, but K-8 public schools are common in Philadelphia.

Very few people post in them (look at how few have posted so far about Season 3 in general) and you run into the same problem where people post things in an episode thread about future episodes, and there's little you can do about it.
-
I would just presume spoilers will make it into the thread because some will not post until they are done with the season, so post and comment with that in mind.

I very much enjoyed Season 3. The only complaint might be that it goes by very quickly.

Yeah, Travis has really terrible judgment. And I also forgot he was seeing his ex-campaign manager. I might have also made this complaint last season, but I roll my eyes at the way tv shows sometimes treat orphaned babies as though all it takes to adopt or foster one is to simply be the first to call dibs.

When Blue was saying he wouldn't ignore other patient's DNR/DNI, but did it on Maxine because he didn't want Jules to be sad, that was deeply disturbing. The same with Adams' whole "I don't apologize or feel regret" attitude. Neither should be practicing medicine.

I thought introducing the new DA by having him randomly wander into a crime scene was kind of bizarre, and really awkward.

It felt like there were no stakes. Sure, Babe, Lee and Slim cut Truman off. Aside from being disinvited to CZ's fancy Thanksgiving party, Truman's life didn't appear to change much. We didn't see him being barred from any society functions outside of events hosted by those women, he kept on dining at the La Cote Basque and while his alcoholism and whatever else, became worse, that didn't necessarily seem connected to being shunned.

I think someone had mentioned that she (or her pseudonym) was barely mentioned in the Esquire story, so she stayed friends with Capote.

The school district where I grew up just fired all its librarians as a money saving endeavor and is replacing them with "media center assistants." (Essentially, low paid staff members who aren't teachers and don't have librarian credentials.) I think people really don't think of librarians as educators, and when money is tight, it's easier to fire a librarian than a classroom teacher. I kind of understood the rule. If it's a school where they don't have multiple copies of the more popular books, you want to try to make things as available as possible for everyone, and that means putting a limit on how many books can be checked out at once. I didn't really understand the school district person acting like the pilot would only be successful if Barbara liked it. I'm all for giving senior teachers a voice, but it would be kind of ridiculous if one teacher could wreck the program for everyone else.

All I can say is I want whatever potion Kate Harrington drank. She apparently hadn't aged a day from when we saw her in the late-1970s to when she was bidding in that auction in 2016. Also, kudos to Jack for landing a guy who was easily half his age. The rest was a big shrug. I don't need to see Truman mooning over Babe's grave, or creating a fantasy for himself where the swans mostly forgive him. All that tells me is the writers ran out of material, and are ending the series with what is essentially a filler episode. It's so strange to me the show assembled all this talent and aside from Tom Hollander, gave them so little to do.

S06.E05: When Sisters Collide And The Return Of The Grifters
txhorns79 replied to DanaK's topic in The Conners
I liked the storyline. It's nice to see Darlene and Becky sniping, followed by having a nice moment, along with finding out Darlene is attending trivia regularly to show the college kids what is up as a brain exercise. Also nice for the show to remember Crystal is still out there, even if her circumstances are sad now. -
I don't think they ever established what happened to her mother. The last time we saw her, she looked fairly shell shocked and broken. As far as the movie was concerned, it appeared Rose was content to let her think she was dead.
