Sarah 103

It's possible one of them could have seen the movie during the summer. It is unlikely that they would have seen it on television because I am pretty sure it took longer for movies to go from theatres to TV at that point. Another possibility is that it was a made for TV movie, which did exist in the late 1960s. I know pop songs are incredibly expensive which is why this series isn't wall to wall 1960s rock music like the original, but is the same true for TV? I remember Kevin watching more clips of actual TV shows during the original series, and I can't remember a single show that Dean or anyone else has actually watched during this series.

There are new teaser trailers that all have songs from Gypsy in them. Could this be a clue that the new season will start/be set during 1962? The teasers contain clips from the new season, so be warned. These clips contains spoilers for the season that starts next year.

They had the option of showing what life would be life for a black veteran after he returned from war, and they decided to go in a different direction. I think he's going to be a mostly offscreen character. Even on the original series, major historical events were usually in the background, so I agree with you. I agree with you about Bruce. This was a story worth telling, even if they decided they wanted the end point to be Bruce renlisting. The story of the struggles a black veteran faced when returning home from Vietnam is a story worth telling, but needs more than twenty minutes to do well.

I'm torn between wanting to know Screech's cause of death and the cause of death not being important. What was important was all the characters were mourning his loss and came together to remember their friend.

I thought the actor who plays Dr. Turner talking about growing up with and playing with children slightly older than than him impacted by thalidomide really put things into perspective for me. (I was born decades after the events in this series). In other interviews he's talked about remembering some of the other events depicted on the show from his own childhood too.

My guess is that Daniel and Leonard will move to London where it will be slightly (emphasis on the slightly) easier for them to live as couple, but he will make frequent trips to Grantchester. I am basing this on what is the absolute edge of plausible and TVLand logic. (Does British TVLand logic differ from its American counterpart?)

This is going to be a nitpicky answer. Leonard was charged and convicted but not Daniel, because it was clearly Leonard in the pictures and it was harder to see who the other person was. The blackmailer was specifically targeting Leonard, so Daniel was not named or charged. If Leonard and Daniel stay together and continue thier relationship as a couple, there is a very good chance that Daniel may not be so lucky the next time and may be charged as well. The laws in England regarding homosexuality were not changed until 1967. It will be interesting to see what happens with Daniel and Leonard. I hope the relationship between Henry and Will improves. Geordie has to tell Cathy something of his horrible wartime experiences. He needs to find a way to explain his behavior over the past few months. Since he has changed and realized what he wants and cares about, I think they will be able to make it work.

I agree with this. By 17 or 18 someone in college should have the maturity and the people skills to deal with a professor without going to thier parents for help (it's okay for the student to talk to parents to figure out what to do, what to say, how to approach the issue, but not for the parents to call or be in the room with the professor). However, Sheldon is around 12. There is a massive difference in maturity and people skills between a normal/average 12 and 17 year old. It is not fair to expect a 12 year old to be where a 17 year is in terms of maturity and people skills. Today parents of college students are more involved than they have been in the past and probably should be.

This comes from watching a ton of 1980s/1990s teen movies: If the bully is poor, he/she has a rough home life. If the bully comes from a wealthy/wealthier background than he/she is just a total jerk.

Overall, I enjoyed the episode. I wished that Riley had said, "I already have a therapist, I don't need another, but I do need a friend." Lois and Art are a cute couple. She knew just what to say to give him the confidence boost he needed to stay in and feel comfortable with the relationship. I also think she meant every word she said.

In the first episode it seemed like Dean was trying to fit in and figure out what he was good at, but here it seems that's always been great at science. I'm okay with small inconsisitencies in long running series, but this is only the 8th episode. I could relate to the way Dean was getting upset when Lilian kept refering to Michael as his friend. I grew up decades after this series takes place. It drove me crazy when my parents would assume I was friends with everyone in my class.

He is way too busy and would never agree to do it but Lin Manuel Miranda would be an amazing 4th chair. It might end up being an episode with more musical games than normal, but I think most people would be okay with it. He would be amazing at "Greatest Hits"

I think survivor’s guilt would have happened no matter what rank Geordie had. If Geordie had a higher rank than many of the other prisoners, I can see how that would intensify the survivor’s guilt, because Geordie would see them as his men and that he had a duty/responsibiity to protect them and failed (even though he probably did all he could).

His sermon was amazing. It was the first time I realized what a loss that has occured. He could have been an amazing vicar, and it will not happen. His sermon was far better than what we have seen in the past. It may be previous sermons were last minute and he didn't have time to prepare or they were supposed to be the comedic moment. I am so glad that Leonard has found strength and a way to do the work he wanted to. I saw it as survivor's guilt. He saw the names of all the men who died (and he may not have been able to save any of them) and wonders why he survived and they didn't. My guess based on pure speculation is that Esme kept asking her parents when she could sit with the adults at the dinner, and they picked an age that sounded right. She held them to it, and they're probably telling the younger siblings when you get to be ___ you can eat with the adults.

This is a good question. It has to be someone with the resources to pull it off due to the large sums of money involved. It also has to be someone who was closely following Bull and possibily the rest of the team. I have no idea who it could be.

I want more episodes where Jamie and Danny have to work together. I enjoy the dynamic between them. Danny is slowly seeing Jamie more as an excellent police officer with a serious future in the department and less like his annoying honor student younger brother. There was something that bothered me in this episode. I absolutely refuse to believe that The Verdict is one of Danny's favorite movies. I could see Danny's favorite movie being Die Hard, Cool Hand Luke, The Great Escape, Dirty Harry, or Bullit, or something like that. I could understand The Verdict being one of Jamie's favorites, but not Danny's. Joe Hill is still struggling with who he is and who he wants to be. I enjoy seeing him every now and them. Anthony is the Reagan whisperer. He understands the family in a way that few outsiders do. He is also one of the few people allowed to call out the Reagans out and not suffer for it or later in the episode shown to be wrong.

I have no doubt that Sheldon has the technical skills to reprogram the machines. Sheldon is the absolute last person Mee-Maw and Georgie would want to involve in the illegal laundromat casino. I can't see Sheldon being willing or able to keep a secret like that.

Thanks for the infomration. I doubt this would happen in the series, because Sheldon would have to be in the room and taking apart the device to see how it worked and then trying to tinker with the random number generator software. I can't picture Mee-Maw and Georgie involving Sheldon.

I wouldn't say Mary's tempted. Mary's having a harmless fantasy that she will never in a million act on or even think about acting on. George is thinking about having an affair and already came very close to having on. I'm not sure. They're slot machines, aren't they? The machines are not connected to a network, so there's nothing to hack into. They appear to be mechanical rather than digital (which makes sense because it's the 1990s) so there's no way to change the software. Mary was an idiot in this episode. Of all of the people in her life Missy could have gone to sex questions, she want to youth pastor Rob instead of Georgie, Mee-Maw, or older girls at school. Mary should have been thrilled Missy went to someone at the church. I love the way Pastor Rob has figured out how to deal with Sheldon.

It's fun seeing Al being overprotective when it comes to Hazel and boys. As far as he is concerned, she has the potential to rule the world and he will not let her throw away her future on a boy that isn't right for her/from a good family/someone who will apperciate her and treat well. It's amusing that Riley was so focused on his own issues and concerns, he barely blinked or didn't believe it when Al told him his daughter was in love. I am looking forward to seeing Riley in overprotetive Dad mode. If she's in middle school, that means dances will soon be part of her life. As much as Riley's friends tease each other, they can be serious when it's important and do want to help each other. Art was great helping Lizzie through a difficult day. Even though she thought she wanted to be alone, she realized it was better having someone there who understood her pain and what she was going through. Art is a fantastic father.

I know I am a horribly shallow person for admitting this, but I was too busy focused on his shoulders in the tank top to notice trousers or underwear.

I agree just because he is a bad singer now who needs auto-tune to be sucessful doesn't mean he can't be taught to sing. I think some serious work with a vocal coach/singing instructor would be a great use of Chase's time during quarantine. He could come back and reluanch his singing career, as well as doing other projects. Personally, I don't think Chase is more mature than Carey and Brooke. I do think Chase is more mature than Carey and Brooke give him credit for. He is not a fully grown adult the way Carey and Brooke are, but he is not the five to nine year old (I am horrible with math so the numbers may be off) they may remember spending time with when they were home from college breaks. There is a huge maturity difference between eight and fifteen, and I am not sure if Carey and Brooke realize or apperciate that yet.

She has a relative (I think it's an aunt) that sends her money and Trixie uses the money for clothes. I want Trixie's clothes. I don't think I would look good in them, but I still want them. Yes. In the U.S the average age of marriage was 20 in 1959, but it started to increase during the 1960s. I don't think it was still 20 in 1966 (keep in mind, these are U.S numbers. I do not know UK numbers). "Shotgun" marriages were very real and as you point out, often deeply unhappy for both parties involved. Divorce was more than looked down on, it was also incredibly difficult to obtain. In the U.S, you needed grounds for divorce. You had to have proof that one spouse did something that was grounds for divorce in that state (adultry, cruelty, and other stuff). I have no idea what the situation was in England, but I am sure the divorce laws were still restrictive. In 1969 California created no-fault divorce, which meant a couple could divorce without proving that the actions of one party had ended the marriage. Part of the reason the divorce rate in the U.S skyrocked in the 1970s was that couples who had been forced to marry in the 1950s no longer had children at home so the idea of staying together for the sake of the children was no longer as relevant, and since divorce was easier and slightly more acceptable, couples divorced. Many of the U.S divorces in the 1970s were couples who had been together 20 years.

We don't actually know what happened. We know they kissed in the boat, and made it back to the vicarage. They were both drunk. Will isn't sure whether or not they slept together. Tamara hinted at it, but she also could have been teasing Will to make him crazy. Her line was something like "After I sleepover I am usually satisfied or get breakfast." This is not helpful in determining what happened. If he really wanted her to be honest, Tamara would probably tell Will the truth. My guess is they both passed out in the bed and nothing happened.

The series started in the early 1950s and Dickens was a puppy. The series is now in 1958. Dickens is only eight years old, which is far from ancient for a black lab. I like the character of Tamara, especially because it allows Will to see the road not taken and what his life may have been had he made different choices. I do not like the idea of Will and Tamara having an intimate relationship because that is super icky. Since you mentioned the boxing gym, (and I realize this is the shallow end of the pool) please bring it back so we can see Will in that tight undershirt in the ring or working out at the gym. Eseme must be very proud and pleased that she gets to eat dinner with the adults. Geordie is an interesting mix of ideas and attitudes, which is great. It makes him a more fully realized, developed and human character. He is quite progressive when it comes to women (he no longer has a problem with Cathy working, or Rachel taking a prestigious job in government) and in some cases is willing to turn a blind eye to homosexuality (he was planning to do a shoddy investigation, say he found nothing, and let the matter drop). He draws the line anti-nuke/anti-war activity.
