I don't think that the porn Tommy has is the rape. The closed captioning describes the sound of the video as "woman moaning," which makes it sound like pretty standard stuff. It certainly doesn't seem like the violence of Trish's rape, and the kids aren't reacting to it like that, either. But that doesn't mean there isn't a connection, however.

The thing is, normal floral deliveries don't usually arrive late at night via deposit and run. Flowers that are delivered like this are almost never from Aunt Tillie or the girls at the office. Maybe florists offer a "stalker special."

There was something about that locked drawer of "stuff," that made me think of a serial killer (or in this case, rapist) keeping souvenirs of all of his victims. I couldn't see what all was there and didn't even realize the the locket had photos of Trish and Leah, but I think that drawer is a giant CLUE. But, of course, could also turn out to be entirely innocent, or incriminating for a different crime, all-together. That Tommy gives me the creeps. He reminds me of vintage Justin Beiber, which IMO, is NOT a good thing. LOL Poor Ellie.

The television and movies in the 2% place must really suck..with nobody but Gary Busey and the cast of Perfect Strangers (plus the other celebrities mentioned in episode 1, whose names I've forgotten) Though at least Mark Lin-Baker is there now so that they can film the Perfect Strangers reunion show. I just binge watched the entire series over the past few days. I'd been meaning to do so after I inadvertantly caught episodes 1 and 2 of season 3, and since I loved Carrie C*** in Fargo. I didn't want to watch more of season 3 until i had caught up. I thought the explanation of the world splitting into 2 was excellent. I don't need a scientifically plausible explanation, but I need one that makes logical sense, and this did. I think they were smart to call this show quits after 3 seasons, especially since the book only covered season 1. Going on too long is what sunk Lost. That, and having no predetermined end game. This series was short and concise and seemed to know where it was going. Having that bit of doubt about Nora's story, since it wasn't shown, didn't bother me at all, as long as there was a complete story. And personally, i am a sucker for epilogues. I love knowing what happened to everybody after the main story ends. And thank goodness, they didn't have to age the entire cast! Just loved this show and am glad I finally got to see it.

Way back when Kevin and Nora were adopting Lily, the clerk at the agency (or whoever he was) offered them another baby in addition to Lily. I thought that was bizarre at the time, but if they had accepted baby #2, they would still have her (or him) now that Lily has gone. White infants are very much in demand by prospective adoptive parents, so it was extra strange that they seem to have an extra one just hanging around, but that baby was never mentioned again. I just thought it was odd. (there may have been speculation about this at the time, but I am just watching this series for the first time)

Oh..there very well might have been if I had taken up bridge with my Type A, card loving, husband, which is why I always refused. I was confused about Emmet's car starting up again, also. I could have understood it if he seemed shocked when it started, as if Karma had given him a gift, which is kind of what happened when he tried to confess to Ray's murder. But he seemed matter of fact about it. And of course, Karma did catch up with him 5 years later. One thing that I always think about whenever I watch Fargo is Malvo. I always wonder if the writers got his name from the rating system which rates most episodes, MALV. Of course, I'm sure the show was written before the ratings were applied, but I always think about it when ever that title card appears. The trouble with Varga was that he was more disgusting than frightening. He was so physically repulsive, it was hard to see any true humanity in him. I did like his unflappability. He always seemed to be two steps ahead of everybody, so he had no need to get upset about anything. That's why I would have loved to have seen him taken down at the end. But we will never know if he was , or if he was two steps ahead again, as he seemed to believe.

Of course he did, now that he's doubling as a leprechaun on American Gods. Where he's great, BTW, Great casting of Daya's daughter with the actress' real daughter! At first i thought..how did they get Daya to look so young? But she was way too young for that to be possible. The food situation is going to be dire very shortly. I hope this is all resolved soon. I'm even feeling sorry for the idiot guards at this point. I didn't remember all of the ins and outs of Daya's baby situation either. But Pornstash (can we even call him that now?) seems quite invested in this baby..though watching a grown man call his mother, "mommy," is disturbing. Maybe he will be a good father; certainly Daya's baby will escape her certain fate as a member of Daya's dysfunctional family, where she would never have a decent chance.

I think he meant, "make it work with this partner," since he's had bad luck with partners. Did he have another partner after Beth? I can't recall, but Beth was enough bad luck to last him.

Not that I want Kevin to get away with this all, but why didn't the prosecutors coach him about those phone calls that night? All of his rehearsing and the defense lawyer asks him a reasonable question about why he called John 7 times that night and didn't answer Meg's many calls, and he sits there looking like a deer in the headlights, before coming up with a lie that can easily be disproven. That prosecutor is all cowboy hat and no cattle. He's lucky that Sally decided to "come clean." Sally did a masterful job on the stand. She makes lying into an art form. After all, the very best lies start with the truth. Poor Chelsea never gets a break. I honestly think she's the only sympathetic character in this whole show. Not that I don't enjoy watching John and Kevin squirm like marlins on a hook. Meg is smart to get away from them before she murders somebody too. So what other trauma happened that gave all three surviving Rayburn kids the same nightmare? I have a feeling that Roy is somehow involved. What does Sally want him to do..burn down the inn? (no spoilers, just speculation)

When they were questioning Natalie, I kept shouting at the television (in my mind) "Ask her for a photo album, even a wedding picture so you can compare it to the younger photo you have." It was driving me crazy. So easy to prove she is or isn't who she says. Her present face was so round, not triangular like the young photo, i would never have thought it was the same person.

One thing which struck me from the book series is the concept of older single people, who had love affairs in their youth, but who broke up for some reason, (Usually a disagreement, exacerbated by pride) and finally get together again in their later years. I mean, there are at least three sub plots where this happens, and of course we know it happened with Marilla and John Blythe. In Anne with an E, they are also using this device with Matthew and Jeannie, the dress shop owner. I wonder if this was something that LMM personally experienced or something that was very common in her day. Is it a stubborn, islander type thing, where people fall in love but then have a disagreement and refuse to unbend, leading them to break up and remain stubborn single people all their lives? I see it in Anne, in the first book, when she gets angry at Gilbert and will not let it go...for years! It struck me as so weird, in the books, that as soon as we meet some old maid or reclusive curmudgeon, sooner or later some old lover will emerge from the woodwork, and with a little help from Anne and her friends, will suddenly rediscover their old feelings and finally forgive each other.

I don't know how life insurance worked back then, but wouldn't death by suicide negate his insurance? It certainly would nowadays. I know it was typical at that time for the man of the property to make all of the financial decisions without consulting his womenfolk, but it still irks me. The anachronistic dialog pulls me out of this show constantly. "Come with? " I don't think so. And there are so many others. Now that they have introduced suicide, robbery and con men boarders, I guess I will start having to think about this show as "Anne of Green Gables" adjacent . There have been so many changes, it's barely the same story. I just read the entire series for the first time, within the past year or so, so the changes are particularly grating. I just love the actors playing each part so much that I will continue watching the series next season, but it is NOT the Anne of Green Gables that I know and love.

I do too. I always think that it has to do with body temperature, since mine is less than 98.6. I seem to spend a lot of time waving my hands in front of things to get them to work, but I don't have a problem with electric eye doors. I am enjoying this season, even though I don't know where it's headed. Loved the Peter and the Wolf analogy. Wonder if it will continue beyond this episode.

Yes, I was thinking that model trains are pretty much inviting children to NOT play with them. They are great to look at, but really only older kids can actually play with them. Plus, the people I know who love model trains tend to be kind of "protective" of them, and letting random children in to touch them would be the kiss of death. Which is why they were a perfect idea for this episode. I loved watching Terry and Holt clash over them. Especially Holt as a young boy contentedly waiting 45 minutes for his train to leave the station.

I noticed, that when June and Moira were attempting their escape, and they passed the wall with all of the hanged men, guards were wheeling bodies past them, and one of them looked like a man with very long hair. It was very quick, and i didn't go back to rewatch, but my first thought was maybe it had been a woman caught trying to escape dressed as a man.

I've finished all the books so far, and have already preordered the next one, which is due out in December. I haven't read any of the novellas, though I have couple of them in my queue, to read after I've taken a sci fi break. What i love about sci-fi is the world building. Learning what people are reading and watching and what they eat, etc. The expanse books are full of that stuff. These people are all so human, Earthers, Martians and Belters alike. I don't have any problems with Clarissa Mao's redemption, but I love Holden's ambivalence. I think Clarissa and Amos make an interesting pairing. They are both so damaged, but he from poverty and she from wealth and privilege. I love that he calls her "peaches." I just like the fact that this whole adventure started with Julie Mao, and we have had the Razorback and now Clarissa. Her redemption didn't come easily and she has been through a lot. I also don't think we have seen the last of Fillip. At the very least Naomi has to find out that he is alive. She has been suffering because she had to let him die. She has to have relief from that, at least. Though he has quite a bit more to answer for than Clarissa Mao. He did help kill a billion people, after all. Which makes him rather more than your typical juvenile delinquent.

Even the strongest acids are kept in glass bottles. The kind of bowl used to mix it in was probably stated in the instructions.

I think it happened when he came in all scary monster and looked at Diane and her eyes went purple and he morphed into his human form . Unfortunately, the actress wasn't good enough to convey that. Instead, it hilariously looked like as soon as Zerstorer morphed into cool surfer dude, Diane was all, "Whoa! I guess being a child bride isn't all that bad, after all!" and Baby Kelly was like, "Hey this guy's a lot more cheerful than my grumpy Grimm dad, Let's go!" But I can't blame the baby for bad acting. Diane has all those powers..I mean she has killed people, but she didn't do a thing once Z-dude got in her head. Juliette, at least fought back against Zerstorer forcing her to stab herself. But that was supposed to show us that he could control minds. I guess it's natural that 20 years later, Diane and Kelly refer to their friends as "The Triplets." People tend to do that, which is one of the issues that twins and triplets grow up with. But it would be fun if she had called them, "Foxy, Wolfy and Mo," or whatever their names were so we could have gotten some idea of how they turned out.

Call me wacky, but I really liked the finale..lots of angst capped off with a happy ending. They brought in Mom and Aunt Joan(?) They more or less explained the reversal at the end..if I don't think about it too hard, it makes perfect sense. And now Nick has Mr. Super Stick, in case one of the gang gets injured fighting Wesen. And the best part is he ended up with Adalind. I grew to really like her character, but most of all Nick chose her, so I would have been really annoyed if they suddenly had him, by some convoluted means, ending up with Eve/Juliette. I, for one was satisfied.

In the brief photo that they showed of "Stanley" with his ex-wife, was that Molly Shannon as the ex-wife? Didn't she say something in the first segment about her husband leaving her in a used car lot? I don't have the episode saved so i can't go back and rewatch. But it would be a fun twist if it were.

At one point in an early episode we found out that Jack was drinking too much and not coming home after work, etc. When did that happen, and why haven't we seen any other references to it? It made Jack a little more human, but the writers seem to have forgotten all about it. There should be echoes of it in all of these flashback episodes.

I remember once (after seeing a slew of shows where the wife sees/hears something strange and her hubby doesn't believe her, leading to all sorts of murder and mayhem) making my husband promise to believe me if I ever told him something like that. I think he did, to humor me, but of course it all depends on the circumstance. It is kind of hard to believe in a man with three arms and three eyes. That husband was a real dick about it, though. I don't know why, but somehow, despite the baby menace, that third arm suddenly appearing out of that guy's neck just made me laugh every time. And they didn't really explain why he kept the kid alive, even getting him cough syrup, for a certain amount of time. Why not just eat him? Not that the show would have gone there, but it did seem like they gave us a gobblebegook reason for the baby to have still been alive and kicking when Nick and company got there to save him. Oh..and how do you get a third arm like that? Because there have been times when I could have really used one. I, too, thought that what with Rosalee being a "fox" and Monroe a "wolf," that they were expecting a litter of puppies! Juliet suffering "angst?" No..just no. I just hope that Monroe and Rosalee don't leave Portland until the end of the series.

Okay..so that was William from Westward as the suicidal coworker! That was driving me crazy. One other distraction: I watch tv with the closed captioning on and when Kate turned on the Christmas music in the car, the closed captioning was spitting out all of the lyrics for "Hark the herald angels sing," while the radio was clearly playing "Little drummer boy." Somebody got their wires crossed, there. Those things aside, it was certainly a very interesting hour of television. I never knew what was going to happen next. When Sloan said that Kevin has to pretend to be her boyfriend, I groaned, but then Kevin made it okay by saying that they had done that plot on "The Manny." Twice. Everybody cancelled out on Randall's Christmas eve. And then they uncancelled. Toby showed up unexpectedly, and then just as unexpectedly...I think the last sound we heard was Toby flatlining, but I could be wrong. I loved Beth's reaction to the boat. I hope Randall can unload it when he's no longer depressed. Boats are only a good idea when somebody that you know owns one. But I didn't expect the suicidal coworker. I did have to laugh when I realized that William was gay. Of course he is. William is everything. A real renaissance man. Good thing they cast such an appealing actor, he makes it all believable.

At the very least he could have run into David. S. Pumpkins.

I too, rolled my eyes a bit at William, the multi-talented. As soon as I saw him at the piano, I absolutely thought, "of course he plays the piano and sings." I think the only thing that saves him from being the "magical negro" of the tropes, is that the family he's with is also black. If this were a white family who took in a black homeless man, who turned out to be this mystical person who teaches them all lessons about themselves, our eyes would all be rolling out of our heads. Don't get me wrong, I love him too, and the actor is excellent. But I think that adding in the musical talent was just a bit much. I mean, if he had been introduced as a musician, that would have been different and quite convincing. He could have been scribbling lyrics in his notebook, but they made him a poet. And then a civil rights activist. This music just came in out of the blue.
