Danielle is lying to the Davises. I guess they didn’t see the talking heads

Wow that other couple already lost two other wives! Get a clue, folks. This does not work!

Billy is very smart! April says it would be heartbreaking if Danielle left again,but it just feels like they would be upset at losing a victim.

Every couple a train wreck this week

They’re acting very demanding too!

How in the world did this happen? Asks ick. Um The usual way?

This is a very valuable skill. It's very useful to be able to co-opt the people on the other end of the line and get them on your side. You don't have to be right, just get a result.

It might happen (with the whale). Obviously it's a cliffhanger. They did reveal about Douglas but it was fleeting. I think he has a discussion with Robert. I can't keep it all straight, it's such garbage.

Yes, and it happened in subsequent weeks. But I was able to watch on an iPad. Who knows?

Yeah, but it's living with Mom that's the stumbling block . . . @shapeshifter I'm thinking your sample size of two is big enough.

Wasn’t Sam going to take over the Los Angeles office? How can he transfer to this show?

Letter to three wives and Picnic are two of my faves.

Surprised you stuck with it that long LOL.

Agree, and the AI case involved really scary people. So did they really pursue it in a safe way? There are a few people who have been filing those disability rights lawsuits and making bank off them, but they have managed to employ real disabled plaintiffs (incidentally, I don't think a shoe repair shop is required to have a public bathroom). What they do is borderline skeevy, but it passes the smell test. They really skewed things by showing that the lawyer stole identities. I suppose business owners should start buying insurance for these types of cases.

TIL there is something called real person fan fiction. Yikes.

Yes, @ECM1231 some of us live over there. Join us. TCM is the channel I watch most.

Yes, Mrs. Doubtfire is also a misfire for me. And Robin Williams was always too over-the-top for me. The one cross-dressing movie I can stand is Victor, Victoria. And back to Tootsie, I couldn't stand the simpering Southern accent.

Unpopular opinion: I never liked that movie! I also dislike Some Like It Hot. Upon seeing mentions here and on the TCM thread, however, I decided to rewatch Tootsie this morning, after a 42-year hiatus. I still don't like it. He's so horrible to Teri Garr. There are a few funny scenes, though. But he seems so fake as Dorothy, I just couldn't buy the whole premise.

Adding to my answer above. Maybe my knife example could be used in a case of stranger rape to identify someone. Here there is no identity issue.

I'm not surprised by this decision. I read all of the main decision last night. It's a technical issue in evidence law, and nonlawyers may tend to call it BS. As @Quof says above, due process requires that even a scummy jerk like Harvey Weinstein get a fair trial. Evidence from non-charged crimes can sometimes be admitted to show a pattern or MO (like someone always carried this kind of weird knife that no one else had--it's hard to come up with an example that isn't in a gray area). Otherwise it just sounds like a pile on, i.e., he's the kind of guy who commits rape. So that's why such evidence is usually excluded.

The recaps on Vulture/New York Magazine are a combo of opinion and recap. The writer also rates the episode from 1 to 5 stars. @surfgirl what is TIIC? I tried Googling without success.

Whatever happened to your attempt to get an appointment with a neurologist? I meant to follow up on that a couple of weeks ago. Did you abandon that weird doctor matching site?

That was the plot of the aforementioned Law and Order episode, and look what happened there!

Apropos of this, my friend's son was recruited by MIT to play football. I am not making this up. He is a freshman now.

@shapeshifter you are absolutely right that streaming and on-demand showings have reduced the need for catch-up recaps. But those really long ones had another purpose--to show off the writer's snark capabilities. To me that just got tiresome when it was almost line by line recounting, and it was very annoyingly show-offy. Now pubs are featuring shorter recaps, for example New York Magazine/Vulture. There's an element of snark, but it can be consumed in a couple of minutes. I can't imagine how much work it took to do those really long recaps. I just looked at one of your posted entries randomly for Roswell, and I was immediately turned off, remembering the feeling of "when will this be over?" It was 15 densely spaced pages. However, I applaud your librarianship in archiving this stuff!
