Well I don't know about this show, but

I had to pause for a few minutes so I could laugh at the 'made you look' note! And I think I want a Derek/Derrick as well, or at least somebody who can convincingly tell me it'll all be okay.

Any being that is centuries old is likely to eventually move away from being 100% straight out of sheer boredom and wanting to try something different. And then of course you have Nando and Lazlo from 'What we do in the shadows' who are most definitely not 100% straight and possibly never were.

They would probably just gross up the calculation. So if say the tax rate was 20% and they gifted an 8k value item, the gift value would be deemed to be 10k, 2k would be paid to the IRS and the remaining 8k would be given to the recipient. If say they wanted the recipient to get 10k into their hand, they'd have to declare a gift of 12.5k, pay 2.5k in tax, leaving 10k to the recipient.

The difference between the Jimmy/Jess and Tony/Ziva 'relationships' is that Jimmy and Jess actually seem to like and respect each other and have done so from the beginning.

Garda is short for 'Garda Síochána' which is the Irish police force. Also known as the Gardaí or The Guards. It means 'Guardians of the Peace'

Or maybe whoever is investigating it just isn't bothering to update a bunch of podcasters.

I don't think that Parker and Knight were putting on an act for the priest. It seemed to me like it was only when Knight saw the rubber band that it all fell into place. Of course, that's assuming that she was telling the truth about how it played out, she could have been an unreliable narrator and just made up that bit for the lawyer. That said, there was plenty of time between Knight locking the door and the lawyer getting there for Parker and Knight to have talked through the situation. Parker wouldn't have had any reason to get the warrants if he hadn't been given a heads up.

Same here. I'd actually given up on the show for a number of seasons and only came back when I heard that Gibbs was leaving.

The sister is buying in France and has a husband to (presumably) help pay the balance of a mortgage. Rhiannon would be trying to buy a house in the UK (did they say what city it was?) all on her own, and have less options with regard to a mortgage, being single and in a (probably) not very well paid job. There's also the whole thing of having to, I don't know, completely upend her life, pack up her belongings and try to find somewhere else to live, all in a likely short space of time. Rhiannon's suggestion of the sister moving back in was probably just a clutching at straws effort to not have to move. I'm mostly on Rhiannon's side, except for her (a) wanting to kill the guy who got the job, because her boss was the one at fault there and (b) being so careless and letting go of the dog. That's on her and not the bully. The rest though, I mean, I wouldn't encourage killing, but some of those folks definitely deserve a bit of retribution.

Pants is also slang for 'useless'. Just to confuse things even more!

They also probably used the elevators.

School lunches weren't (and still aren't really) a thing where I grew up. The most we had was during the winter, there was soup on offer for anybody who signed up for it. Only problem was that there was no choice in what flavour was on offer each day, and since I only liked one flavour soup, it wasn't much good to me. (there was of course the free half pint of milk to each student every day, but that was about it)

Apparently the chalk outline of a body isn't really used now, to avoid contaminating the crime scene. And (according to Wikipedia) even back in the day, it was more used as a method to allow the press to take a picture to represent the scene but without having an actual (possibly gruesome) body around.

@Orbert it's probably a matter of what Will can prove as well. Angie's case is comparatively recent and Will is able to throw doubt on a lot of her story based on his analysis of the case file. Amanda's case on the other hand, the only proof he has is her confession. There's nothing tangible he can point to (like the lack of defensive wounds on Angie) to make a case against Amanda.
