I loved MH as the Widow Twanky! And then there was the Hercules episodes where they played the producers and writers!

Which is a bit shitty for Irish viewers, because while BBC linear access is widely available through most TV providers, access to the i-player to stream the show is restricted to the UK.

I think they were originally developed to aid digestion. They're quite nice actually if you want something not excessively sweet. They're even nice when you get the ones with chocolate on!

The female characters that were recast, started off aged 15(ish) and ended up aged 35(ish). The male characters that didn't get recast started off 30+ at least and added on another 20 years over the course of the season. Rhaenys didn't get recast, probably because she started out (presumably) mid to late 30s and ended mid to late 50s. And pretty much all the kiddies - both male and female - got recast a few times as well. So I'd say the decision making process was just as likely to be along the lines that it's a lot easier to cast a single actor to go from 30 to 50 than it is to go from 15 to 25. But YMMV.

Well I for one was totally shocked. I'd managed to avoid spoilers and my reaction was pretty much the same as 10/14s reaction. "WHAT!!!" (okay, maybe a little louder!)

That was my read on it as well.

There are soooo many characters whose heads I want to see on pikes before this show is over.

That presumes that Serena wants to bring down Gilead. She might not feel it safe to go back there as an unmarried mother, but if she had a suitable husband in tow, i.e. a high enough ranking commander, she would return in a heartbeat.

I'm pretty sure it was less about jealousy and more about Elizabeth being angry (justifiably IMO) that Mark's daughter Rachel brought drugs into their house. Drugs that Elizabeth's baby got into while Rachel was supposed to be minding her, and nearly died from.

I do like Nicola Walker but so many of the characters she plays are so glum that it's really nice to see her play happy for once. Who would have thought that a homicide detective could be her cheeriest character!

It seems to me that Rhaenyra's biggest mistake was not taking a blonde lover. If her eldest 3 had had blonde hair, like both 'parents', it would have been a lot harder to refute their legitimacy.

Don't you mean 'Ariel'? 😁

Serena is a widow though, which is different from being a single mother. Although I'm not sure that Gilead would make that distinction.

@lidarose9 I think that the frozen peas just gave BiBi the idea to freeze the paint gun pellets. By the time the wound would have been examined, the pellet would have defrosted and looked like normal.

I think I'm going to have to rewatch the first episode before we get to the finale, just to see if there's any clues in it. I also may need to pay more attention to the opening credits and see what they haven't used from them yet (we've got the fake animal eye, a watermelon, archery trophies, and there's a lot of little things which may or may not be relevant) I actually laughed out loud when they used the 'What we do in the Shadows' theme for the closing credits!

Probably a bit of 'Three Stooges Syndrome' going on.

The one and only event I went to with a free bar was a birthday party for one of the partners in my firm. Every wedding I've been to, there might be free wine and/or champagne during the meal, but outside of that, everybody was expected to be responsible for their own drinks.

I would hope that the sister had had some influence on her dropping the lawsuit since presumably she knew about the DNR in the first place and failed to mention it when the paramedics started working. And yes, I get that it can be difficult for family members to make that call but she bears some of the responsibility. I knew that Sadie was a wrong un when she told Owen "you came for me". That and the fact that she 'passed out' right next to a well lit exit sign (presumably the exit Owen used to get them both out).

I thought Minna started out by saying George and then said JP. She could have meant either of them, given her confusion. Count me in on the Blanaid as the killer (whether deliberate or accidental) train. Mainly because I can see the sisters banding together to protect her. Anybody else think that JP will end up dying in the freezer?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9022462/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_7 This should have most of them listed

I think he must survive last episode's splashdown. When Claffin was asking Grace about where she was when JP died, she lied and told him she was with her sisters. But she'd have had no reason to lie if this was when he died, because she was with the basketball team on the way to Galway and there's nothing suspicious about that.

It's set in or around Dublin. The 'Forty Foot' where the sisters go swimming is on the South end of Dublin Bay. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forty_Foot So they're all within driving distance of it.

Property taxes wouldn't be all that expensive. The Local Property Tax on a place like Eva's probably wouldn't be more than €1,000 a year which she could easily pay monthly through her employment.

Sky - who broadcast the Last Week tonight in the UK - clearly have plenty of deference for the Queen, because they cut out pretty near all mention of her from the show. Am I the only one who paused the show to check google images because I didn't quite believe John when he promised that the final picture was Dick Wolf?

I suppose that 'Sex, Lies, and porno tapestries' would have quite the same ring to it.
