    When Calls The Heart - General Discussion

    in When Calls The Heart

    So I still watch the show but I find myself just telling myself I have to suspend my disbelief of A LOT of things. Regarding the Christmas special:

    First, where did all those people come from for the Christmas festival? Hope Valley is not that big and I'm pretty sure there would not be THAT many people coming from other towns.

    Second, the traveling salesman wasn't coughing when he tried to clean Henry's coat. Then he was practically dying when riding with Carson. Then Carson gives him some cough medicine or whatever it was and he was fine again with Henry as he took him back home?

    Third, There are other women in town besides Elizabeth. For instance, the telephone operator. I agree with whoever posted above that she and Lucas (the saloon owner) would be a good couple. I think he is better looking than Nathan but I think Nathan is really sweet and more suited for Elizabeth.

    I also agree with whoever posted that Jack Wagner talks with his lips pursed. I like him, but I've always thought he overacted everything to the point it doesn't look natural. And that is no different in this show.

    Did not notice Abigail's absence at all. Didn't even notice a mention although I may have missed it. And as for the couples - Carson and Faith and Jesse and whats-her-name - you are all correct - BORING!

    I love Henry. Even when he was bad, he was good. I wish they'd get Henry a love interest. And I also love Lee & Rosemary. Wish they would be blessed with a child - either by birth or adoption. I had trouble getting pregnant with both my kids, as did a few of my relatives and it really is painful to see everyone else having kids and here you can't even do the most basic thing we were put on this earth to do - procreate. 

    All that being said - I will be watching when it comes back on for the new season : )

    I enjoyed Freak Show, so what do I know?

    Me too! I thought the characters were the best and the opening credits were the creepiest of all of them. Besides Murder House, Freak Show was my favorite.

    I think the show sustained too many cast hits.  No Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, Evan Peters, Frances Conroy, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Dennis O'Hare.  It lacks a real solid anchor that these actors can provide.

    Exactly! I think I read somewhere that one of them (or more) were going to make a guest appearance, but I'm not sure - maybe I dreamed it : )

    My favorite part of this series so far is the opening credits and all the 80's references and music. Anyone else notice how close the music is to that of the last season of Stranger Things? I mean, I know they are both set in the 80's but I'm telling you - that music is so very similar.

    That being said, I just cannot stand Emma Roberts. She has to be one of the world's worst actresses - maybe a runner up to Billie Lourde. Two prime examples of actresses who get work because of to whom they are related.

    The sad part is that the well-endowed guy is the most believable character of them all!

    I am hoping the Nurse Rita twist and the Montana/NIght Stalker twists redeem this season for me.

    I just watched this episode last night and I don't want to watch the last two episodes yet - I want to pace myself. I did not realize what FIg was doing either - went right over my head. Then I saw her hand the pill to the woman. I love Fig and especially Caputo. At the beginning of the first season, who knew he'd be my favorite character of all of them? Surely not me! : )

    I got the vibe he was embarrassed by Gabes emotion. As messed up as she is, Janelles kids are my favourite as they seem the most authentic. More independent. Free thinkers. 

    You figure - they kind of had to be free thinkers. Mom was either working back in the day and now too busy striving to care. I also feel Logan basically raised his younger siblings and my mom had to do that when she was young because my grandma had to work 2 and sometimes more jobs as a single mom. My mom always said she had already raised 6 six kids and she only wanted one when she got married. And I am an only child.

    Riley-- I see the hot pants were trotted back out after one or 2 weeks try at a more serious look for Lil Miss Suds in the Bucket.

    I like her but she is just not ready for this competition. She was off key, fading in and out - just not good tonight at all.

    Alejandro - I don't know what that was. Not impressed.

    Jeremiah - just boring to me. He has a nice voice - there was just no chorus to that song.

    Uche may not have the best voice, but he is the most interesting to watch and his voice is pretty good too.

    I love Laine, but his performance was a little boring last night.

    Dimetrius - I tuned out. Again, boring to me. As was Alyssa. And Ashley. 

    Can you tell I'm not a big ballad fan anyway? They're all just kind of unforgettable.

    4. Hello Robyn you are in plural marriage! Isn't it selfish to want Kody to promise only you that Flagstaff is your forever home? I mean there are three other wives in the picture, what if they want to eventually move? So is it only you and Kody's decision in your eyes if he promises you.

    5. What exactly are you so busy doing  janelle that you are lazy and have to put in an effort to see the rest of the family? This is the woman who's suppose to motivate others to strive? 

    I was thinking the same thingk about Robyn acting as if SHE is the center of the universe in regards to moving. And did you get her comments (more than once) that "THEY" are all like that meaning non-committal in regards to moving again. I enjoyed her being shot down and the others making her look bad.

    And Janelle - she was doing so good there for awhile. But I swear I think she looks bigger than she ever has. And like you, I was thinking "What makes her busy??????"

    Isn't it just typical of sloth wife Janelle to have a good portion of the lot in dirt.

    I think that's one of the things that bugs me the most about her... When she sat there in the TH and said how she couldn't be bothered and didn't really care and the others could decide on the Flagstaff property I was disgusted.

    She said it like it was a good thing and like she just doesn't worry or fuss about things and all I could think was BS you're just LAZY!

    You'd think at least for the sake of her kids she'd have some input... But nope... It takes too much energy.

    She started out all on her highhorse about not moving Gabe and as soon as she saw it was going to take more effort than the initial "No I'm not moving Gabe" she just rolled over and ate another donut.

    She never cares about anything enough to do it PROPERLY whether that means her Strive stuff, preparing a bathroom for a home birth, advocating for her kids, following a low fat recipe, figuring out how to use a composter, making a healthy lunch for her grandson or anything else... She takes one look at what's required and if it doesn't fall into her lap fully formed she just waddles over to the nearest couch,  plops her ass down and zones out under the guise of being the calm easy going wife.

    She's either the laziest blob on the planet or she's suffering from depression... Either way she should seek help.

    You are SPOT ON in your analysis of Janelle!

    I'm sorry, but she thinks that tattoo is "cute?"  Damn that's ugly.

    It is her "woke" way of supporting the fambly's move to Flagstaff...you know, trees. Seriously, she just looks so grungy and dirty. ICK!

    Am I the only person who finds their little couch chats strange? I watched the episode where Mykelti marries Fat Pig Tony, and at times, the Brown talking heads are delivered in a very present tense. Kody’s mentions his shirt was forgotten, but then spoke as if he didn’t know if his shirt would make it.

    I have always thought the same thing. They do the same thing on Survivor. They'll show TH as if they don't know what the outcome will be but you know they had to tape it after the competition.

    Abigail's departure would be so much more seamless if they had Lori to say the goodbyes and give the explanations for her departure, but of course, that can't happen. I'm more excited to see how they handle it all than I am to catch up on the story. lol

    I did watch a 3 minute preview of the new shows coming on Sunday and Monday. It recorded on my DVR so I watched it. No mention of Lori/Abigail. Just Erin Krakow telling us they're coming back with 2 special episodes. 

    Also, before I say this, I have to first say that the whole Lori Loughlin thing has really disappointed me. I am not a gullible person but she sure had me fooled. I just thought she was like the epitome of an honest, caring person. I always loved her work. But they showed her coming out of the courtroom (or going in) on the news this morning and she just looks like a different person. Sour face - almost arrogant. I get that nobody's perfect, but geez, this really knocked her down a few, make that A LOT of pegs in my eyes.

    I have never been a big Amelia fan. And Linc was just okay. But for some reason, pairing them together - I actually like both of them...somewhat anyway. They may grow on me as they end up being a real couple, which we know will happen. 

    My least favorite character on the show these days is Owen. Never really cared much for him anyway, but the past few years, I could actually say that I can't stand his character.

    Jo. She's a tough cookie. Her mother explained how it all played out and why she gave her up. She needs to put on her big girl panties and snap out of it. She has a great career, lots of friends and a husband who adores her. And if you can't snap out of it on your own, go see someone who can help you.

    When he asked Kody if he could talk to him in the room about marrying Mykelti, he says in his weird effeminate voice, "uh can I have a little second with you?"  What's a "little second" Tony?

    It's about as long as he lasts in the bedroom.  You're welcome.

    I actually heard cymbals do a "joke rim shot" when I read this...lol

    Tall ginger who was 'born a poor gay child' (h/t to The Jerk). His performances are always accompanied by 'his evangelical pastor dad rejected him when he came out of the closet and thus he was forced to work as a janitor in the family church' back story. I find his voice annoyingly Broadway, but he's undeniably a very good singer.

    SO MUCH THIS! I just can't stand his back story. Not because I'm homophobic or anything - I just get tired of the "poor me" or "poor Jeremiah" story EVERY time he appears on screen. He has a pleasant enough voice, but I just don't care for the slower, pop type genre.

    They mentioned that it was 107 degrees that day.  I hope they didn't leave them for garbage day pickup whenever that may be.

    Not only that - talk about a waste! Some people like organ meat and they could have donated it when they had the cow butchered if they knew they wouldn't use it. Or gave it to friends who would use it.

    Hand on my heart, I only watch this show due to the snark.  

    I just started watching again this season because I have always followed these threads to just keep up with what was going on w/o having to subject myself to Kootie & Sobbyn. The last season I watched was probably 3 or 4 seasons ago. But I'm back to snark with all the rest of you.
