I knew he had a lot of health issues in recent years but this still hurts. The Liaden universe is one of my favorites. I've never understood why Hollywood didn't bring some of them to the screen. Val Con and Miri's adventures are perfect for Netflix or HBO. They are fully diverse, with action, Regency-tinged customs, giant Turtle aliens, a Klingon-ish warrior race, government conspiracies, mafia, and space ships. 🙂 The world building of Killjoys always felt a bit Liaden to me.

Sadder still, Y&R looks way better than the other soaps.

It was! It flowed into Suzanna perfectly. Supper was late and it was almost dawn when I finished - the mark of a really good read. I still think they could have completely dropped Amanda and Sloan, so I haven't started the last (Megan) book yet. I have to catch up on some things that were neglected the last few days. It occurred to me while reading that those books have turned into historical novels. No cell phones, no Google, stacks of paper to sort through, about the only tech I caught was the copy machine from the library.

I enjoyed Courting Catherine but a third-ish into A Man For Amanda and... well, it's boring. Please tell me it gets better. Eta: It's mostly Sloan. I just don't like him. Eta: Now this is much more promising. Lilah and more with the jewel thief. 👍

Last night I decided to browse the titles you listed above and was instantly immersed in the split time frame of Courting Catherine. So far, so good. Eta: it can take me forever to read sometimes - I'm continually interrupted. Sigh. It's why I listen to more podcasts than anything else. Maybe I should try the library for audiobook versions.

I think my daughter could challenge you for the title of NR's #1 fan, @GHScorpiosRule 🙂 I'm fairly sure she owns every book the woman ever wrote. Personally I bounce between sci-fi/space opera and golden age mysteries (and no, not a fan of JDR) but did love early Nora Robert's genre novels before she hit the mainstream. They were the perfect length for polishing off while my kids napped.

For those that just want MSNBC and/or CNN, the cheapest service is probably SLING Blue at $40/mo. TCM is available for an extra $6/mo. Eta: Sling only has local channels in a few places, which is probably why they are cheaper than the others. But if you have an antenna it shouldn't matter. I have YTTV, thanks to being part of my daughter's family group. I only use it for HGTV and MSNBC though, so if I were footing the bill I'd do Sling. I also have a Tablo with decent local reception so it would be fine.

Season 1 has some classic bits. The sarcastic toaster. Rimmer panicking when he realizes Lister is serious about becoming an officer. And my daughters and I still crack up when Cat hits the food machines for fish. "Fish!" But yeah, you don't watch RD for the calibre of the acting. 🙂 The commercials on Tubi arent too bad. I hope the boys (and Kochanski) make a new generation laugh.

Ah. That's what I get for skimming.

I'm assuming because of Spencer. They grew up as cousins.

I took the last couple of months off my most recent rewatch and am early in S4 now. I missed it.

I had the same thought but went ahead and it's been fine. There wasn't much nuance to John's journey anyway. It's Harold and the Machine that I primarily cared about.

No doubt it's complicated by Wilmer Valderrama's schedule and Disney's other higher priority franchises. At least it hasn't been canceled. WV does seem personally invested in the project. 🤷‍♀️

I don't mind the smaller audience area but I do kinda miss the contestants stumbling up the stairs. 😉

Doug and Julie were the original supercouple, imo. RIP, Bill Hayes.

Sorry for the late reply, life has been handing me tons and tons of snow. With more on the way... I will try to get an official mod post up soon but yes, the realtor topic is fine. (Although it could use a few graphics and short video clips. 🙂 hint, hint)

Discuss Season 3 (Netflix) here.

Oh! This is the kid that Devon and Abby have where Devon was the donor? I guess I forgot that Chance was the other part of that equation.

The last time I watched for any length of time Chance wasn't onscreen. He might have been missing? Not sure... #2 sounds interesting. Anyone care to summarize?

I remember that. I'm not sure they could do that story today. It was inappropriate (but soapy) back then but it would be even more controversial now. Colleen is in the top ten of my list of soap characters who should never have been killed off.

I don't usually mind dream sequences but most of the episode? That was painful to watch. Is there a therapist or former life coach on the writing staff? Because I just watched 3 episodes in a row and almost every character interaction sounded like a therapy session. Eta: I did like Victoria attempting to reach Claire. And Audra being sympathetic to Nikki. And maybe I'm too old to be tactful but isn't Sharon much older than Chance? A guy that age might want a relationship that includes kids. Or did they have that conversation when they first got together? I'm not opposed to couples where the woman is older but a lot of the time that ends up being the sticking point. (As in Sharon has raised kids already and is in a different phase of life.)

Interesting. Disney has taken so long with theirs that I'm not really surprised other versions have shown up. This one doesn't look half bad. But is my one year of high school Spanish up to the task? I don't mind the occasional subtitled movie or telenovela episode but they're distracting in action heavy pieced.

Dang. My tween self adored David Soul on Here Come the Brides.

If it had been another kind of show I would have thought this guy was really down on his luck. But it's a soap, where poor people and hard times don't seem to exist.

Broad comedy and farce isn't my thing (putting it mildly) but for some reason I can't stop laughing during Roz and the Schnoz (s5e21).
