    The Lockharts being Catholic didn't surprise me. They are an old school, traditional family. That seems to be represented fairly consistently.

     

                  Yeah, and they probably  refused to smuggle cocaine on Fridays.

     

             I think that so many viewers of this show really liked Pacey and Peter ( me too) that Cole is getting

             a pass on his faults and bad behavior.

    Has there been any foreshadowing whatsoever that Sasha and Abraham have an interest? This would have worked a lot better for me if I could think back to some look, some special moment, something where I could say, aaah, I see where they were going with that now. Instead, it's a thing because Abraham said so, and Sasha didn't deny. But it came out of nowhere.

     

                 And please, please let it go back to nowhere.

  3. Uhtred and Leofric lead a raiding party to Cornwall on a mission for wealth and independence. The party becomes mercenaries for a Cornish King, and Uhtred attracts the attention of a beautiful sorceress queen named Isuelt. Iseult’s charms and the promise of silver make Uhtred feel like he finally has the chance of a new start. However, when he returns to Wessex he is faced with the wrath of King Alfred and a judgment that leaves both his life and the life of his best friend Leofric hanging in the balance.

    I'm no lawyer, but I believe spousal privilege only means that you can't be compelled to testify against your spouse.  It doesn't mean you're not allowed to testify against your spouse. 

     

     

    You are correct.  You can testify against your spouse. If you've been abused, etc, you certainly can take them to court.

  5. The peace has broken, the Danes are threatening Wessex, and a huge storm rages. Uhtred puts himself forward for a daring stealth mission to outflank the Danes and destroy their ships, but in the process he attracts Ubba’s attention and is challenged to a one-on-one fight to the death. Told as a boy never to fight Ubba, his chances against the man-mountain look slim.

     

    Fire in the hole!

    One of the reasons I do fault Helen in how her parents treated Noah, is that she showed no fear or intimidation around her parents.  She didn't seem like the poor little rich girl who didn't get enough love as a child.  I would have respected Helen more if she just told that toxic duo to fuck off - at least once.

     

                     You really nailed one of my main reasons for disliking Helen.

     

                      And why do they have to spend 3 months there every year, when no one wants to be

                      there except for Whitney?  Wouldn't two weeks be plenty, or does Helen feel obligated

                      to serve her time so she gets the big pay off ?

     

                      Saying that her parents will never change, so no one should pick fights is just so

                      pathetically passive.

     

                     Helen must surely see that her mother just reinforces Whitney's worst traits. If she thinks

                     Noah should shut up and let himself be humiliated because he's an adult, doesn't she

                     at least want to protect her daughter from her toxic grandmother. 

     

                     I think Helen chooses to be oblivious to the damage being done so she can tell

                     herself she is a great wife and mother with a happy life.  Then if things go wrong, she

                     holds no responsibility.

     

                     Helen is my least favorite of the four, but then I think about who raised her and remind

                     myself that she could have turned out a lot worse.

     

                     And before someone asks, No, I don't think she "deserves" to be cheated on.  I also

                     don't think she deserves some wonderful life.  She'll never have to worry about money, which

                     already sets her apart from most people.  I would love to have that stress lifted off of my

                     daily life. And the options that money give you is a luxury she takes for granted.

    No reason this had to be 90 minutes.

     

     I checked it out and if you include the previously on, opening and closing credits it comes to 64 minutes

    So we basically got 1 hour of TWD.

     

    I know a lot of people would have preferred to have last week's episode be 90 minutes. But I'd rather have

    an episode like this broken up about a dozen times than one that is heavy on action and suspense.

    I don't need several more minutes of Glenn as Schrodinger's cat

  8. It was 90 minutes because of two trailers and endless promos for other shows along with
    the usual excess of adverts. Other than those constant interruptions, I really enjoyed it.

     

    But I did have a problem with a psychiatrist working exclusively with prisoners and only diagnosing
    one as a psychopath.

  9. A cunning tactical play by King Alfred keeps Uhtred close at heel, but it’s not long before Uhtred realizes he’s been tricked and his relationship with the King hits a new low. King Alfred then invites Uhtred to peace talks only to use him as a pawn, handing Uhtred over as a hostage to the Danes. However, the turn of events reunites Uhtred with his Danish brother Ragnar the Younger. When the tides turn once again and threaten Uhtred’s life, Ragnar proves to be a true ally and quite possibly, Uhtred’s saving grace. Meanwhile, a great battle looms over Wessex.

    I would like to know who else knows about Abby's affair.

     

        They were pretty careless, so I think a lot of people would know, and it would make a juicy piece of

    gossip.  Yes, people were more homophobic then, but even today most people don't approve

    of adultery. 

     

    Abby is my least favorite character.  She's really immature and impulsive.

     

    I have no idea what she was trying to accomplish hinting at Oppenheimer's affair to his wife.

    It's not like she was trying to warn a close friend.  You don't invite your husband's boss and

    spouse over for dinner and then try to humiliate them, especially if you are Ms. Pot.

    There is going to be a serious need for protein for these people. 

     

            If they plant soybeans, spinach and blueberry bushes they'll be fine.
