  1. I was actually disappointed. When the bad guy handed Higgins the hammer, I laughed evilly and was looking forward to her using it against him. The case itself seemed like a big invasion of privacy. The fiance's inability to trust Emily or even wait until she woke up endangered her life and the lives of her mom and daughter. It never seemed to occur to him or Magnum that she had a valid reason for wanting to hide and that should be respected/protected.
  2. I'd be ok with trying a replacement to Roger (I'm enjoying the new guy and love the supporting cast) but I'd need them to find a way to keep Trish around. She's the best.
  3. I suspect it's residual Dave from Happy Endings love but I'm really enjoying Rick.
  4. I agree with all of this. Even if the Harlan/Lily love is true and beautiful, it was not being handled well at all. If other students and faculty are registering complaints, something is wrong. And if nothing changes (if anything, I can see Harlan getting worse trying to hide everything), the school is sending out a horrible message. I also hated how many times they had to remind us that Lily was no where near as smart as Harlan.
  5. I'm pretty sure Gus and Shorty owned the bar (I don't think the show ever explained). Gus gave the money from the sale to Waverly so her niece would have options and could leave Purgatory if she wanted to. Bobo bought it legally (somehow) but the city took possession after a certain amount of time without taxes being paid. I'm not sure why Nedley was involved but Doc was able to take over by paying the back taxes. (I think)
  6. I wonder about this every time I watch this episode. But I'm easily distracted by the rest of the episode and immediately forget.
  7. Something bugs me every time I re-watch the episode with the barber guy who shows up in mirrors is that Doc seems to say that he (Doc) was the one who put his body (the barber's) in the lake. It doesn't really make sense to me based on what we know of Doc (or what he told the team earlier in the episode) but it would help explain why Doc became a revenant.
  8. Momma Earp has been cast! (This is untrue. Megan will always be Anne Shirley)
  9. We're getting them in SW Michigan. I've been meaning to post how much I'm enjoying the diversity.
  10. Me too. I also agree about enjoying the season. I hadn't realized it was only 6 episodes and was very disappointed when it ended. I really hope Ms. Lint sees through the Terror and is just biding her time before making a move to take over. She deserves better.
  11. I agree but I'm very sad Jeremy never got to meet her. He was so excited about babysitting. When Bobo mentioned Waverly being 'kin', I started wondering if one of her parents was distantly related to Robert Svane. If this is the end of the Order, I really resent the screen time they took up this season. I'm pretty sure their presence wasn't necessary and their actions could have been covered in other ways. I don't really need to see more of them though so I'd be ok if we could all forget their existence.
  12. Whenever the Witches have done their thing with the rings, they're shown a location. This time 'Mercedes' also got a message at the same time (I can't remember who she said) that directed her to the law. So I think the spell sent her to Nicole's which led her to believe Nicole had the seal (logical). After realizing Nicole didn't have it and being chased off, 'Mercedes' later came back and found Nedley there. Since he's also the law and was in the right place, it made sense for her to conclude he had the ring. I can't explain why Wynonna gave the ring to Nedley instead of hiding it on the homestead, however. Do we think Doc's ring was contributing to his luck in cards (and potentially other areas)? He was definitely having an off day.
  13. I had too and was very confused about Three's nightmares/memories at the beginning. What episode introduced the ink aliens? With all of the significant looks towards Two, I was expecting someone to figure out she was a simulant.
  14. I've been rewatching (I can't seem to stop) and the Ghost River Triangle does include part of the 'big city' according to a season 1 episode so it's possible that part includes a university. If Rosita has never been caught by an heir (a fairly safe assumption since she doesn't act like someone who has spent a lot of time in hell), she's had plenty of time to earn those PhDs (I have no idea how she would have dealt with the paperwork, however). And, Doc and Rosita did not discuss her being a revenant when he offered her the job. Doc offered her 'protection' in exchange for her help.
  15. I kind of love this theory. So much drama and it would solve the problem of having a baby on the show. And Waverly would still be an Earp!
  16. We don't actually know the revenant is the dad, right? That was the only negative I had for this episode. I couldn't figure out why everyone just switched over from thinking it was Doc (I loved his speech at the beginning of the episode). If Waverly isn't an Earp by blood, I hope it doesn't change anything (and I don't really expect it to). Having different parents (one or both) doesn't mean they're not sisters.
  17. I loved this one. The relationships on this show are fantastic, no matter which characters are sharing the screen. I can't even decide which storyline I prefer. Nicole and Wynonna were hilarious and I like that they're friends. And pretty much everything in the guy's plot was perfect.
  18. I vaguely remember that Doc only experienced what he did to Clootie and not what other people did. Wynonna could have killed her but Doc wanted to get revenge himself so that wasn't good enough and they came up with the salt flats plan instead. I may be forced (heh) to rewatch those episodes though. Thanks for the answers on Doc's note! I'm glad he just needed some time to adjust. I was disappointed with his initial reaction. On the other hand, I was impressed with Dolls initially but was less happy with him by the end.
  19. What did Doc's note say? I couldn't make it out.
  20. Thanks, everyone. I have added some titles to my list. I really enjoy having an excuse to read some things that wouldn't normally end up in my library pile but I also want to avoid freaking him or his parents out. Hanahope, would your daughter be interested in comic books? I love the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, the new Ms. Marvel, and Patsy Walker a.k.a. Hellcat and they'd be appropriate for a 12 year old. Ooh, also Lumberjanes!
  21. To tag onto Hanahope's request, I'm looking for recommendations for my ~13 year old godson. He's a very advanced reader and likes series (so he has more to read) but, unfortunately, that's all I know (I keep asking for feedback but apparently he likes everything I've sent). Since I want to read the books first, I'm looking for fantasy/sci-fi, non-dystopian, with some diversity (I'm trying to read more women and minority focused books (and I want godson to get exposure outside of what's normally assigned in his school)). Any suggestions?

    Audiobooks

    Does anyone have any non-fiction audiobook recommendations? I have a very hard time reading non-fiction but, for some reason, I enjoy listening to someone read to me during my commute. My library has a pretty good collection of WWII books but I need to branch out a little. I'm open to history and science (A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson is fantastic, very Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (also excellent)). When looking for books to give my godson, I listened to Flora & Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo and it was very fun.
