  1. I have a question about some previous storylines. (I missed a few seasons, so it may or may not have been addressed) Ziva left NCIS and a few seasons later (as part of MW's leaving episode), we found out that she'd been killed and that she'd left behind a daughter - Tony's daughter that she'd never told him about. A few seasons after that, the audience and Ellie finds out that Ziva had been only mostly dead. My question is, was it ever revealed whether Ziva had told Tony that she was alive or was he still being left in the dark?
  2. What Ian inherits will depend on whether Grace had made a will either after their marriage or 'in anticipation of' the marriage. Assuming that she hadn't made a will, then Ian (surviving spouse) would get 2/3 of Grace's estate and Blanaid would get 1/3. How much is in Grace's estate would also depend on what sort of will the prick had left. Again, if he hadn't made a will then Grace would have inherited 2/3 and Blanaid 1/3. Given the nature of JP, I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd left everything to Blanaid to screw over Grace one last time - however, legally, she'd still have been able to claim 1/2 of the estate.
  3. Oh, she is such a wagon!
  4. I did not realize that that was Barbara Bain playing Eli's mother in law until I checked IMDB!
  5. Captain Boycott has entered the chat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Boycott#The_word_boycott
  6. You posted a fact that was deliberately misleading because land doesn't vote, people do. The fact that counts is that many of the red states are of a much lower population density than many of the blue states. 3/4 of the country did not vote for trump because land doesn't vote. 1/4 of the people in the country may have voted for trump but certainly doesn't have the 'support' of 3/4 of the country.
  7. Except it wasn't going to be immediate. The targets were all projected to be European targets. If there had been a realistic prospect of a bomb dropping on the mainland United States, Jimmy would have been breaking speed limits in his efforts to get back to Victoria.
  8. I'm pretty sure that Judd and Grace would be named guardians. It was Judd that Tommy left a message for when she thought she was going to die in the gas cloud. I'm not experienced with horses, but surely it would have been better for Owen to start out by grooming Thunder to earn his trust, before trying the whole cleaning his hooves thing.
  9. The 'previous message' was in response to your post where you said things along the lines about how social media was terrible because And I pointed out that it was actually good to know who was happy to vote for a racist felon sexual abuser (I may not have used those specific terms) I'm not sure why you think a list of the trump fans imagined slights is any sort of explanation as to why it's good to not know if a person you're interacting with is an apologist for racism, sexual abuse etc - if I'm being generous, I'll just chalk it up to weaponised naivety. Personally though, if somebody is gleefully supporting trump, it tells me everything I need to know about them and given the chance I will certainly restrict my real world dealings with them.
  10. What were Jimmy and Jessica supposed to do? They were told to park up and not go near the NCIS building. They were helping the rest of the crew when they could until they lost contact after the power outage. What should they have done? I started watching the show again when I knew Gibbs was leaving - I'd stopped watching because he'd become so unlikeable. Parker is one of the best things to happen to the show in a long time. It's nice to have the team run by somebody who isn't a bully.
  11. I'm pretty sure that I did understand, but perhaps you could explain it again.
  12. Personally I think it’s nice to know someone’s political affiliations. it’s especially nice to know if you’re dealing with someone who sees nothing wrong with voting for a convicted felon and a sexual abuser. It’s nice to know if you’re dealing with somebody who doesn’t believe that you deserve bodily autonomy. I am looking forward to seeing the leopards eating a lot of faces in the next four years.
  13. Well I don't know about this show, but
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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'
  19. Or maybe whoever is investigating it just isn't bothering to update a bunch of podcasters.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Pants is also slang for 'useless'. Just to confuse things even more!
  24. They also probably used the elevators.
  25. 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)
