Yes, I know she's the hardest working and doesn't do it for publicity or press coverage, but that has nothing to do with military medals.

Can't remember which episode it was, but when Phillip ridiculed Charles about "unearned" medals did he forget that Anne has never served a day in the military and it hasn't stopped her from wearing the costume.

The latest Real Life Nightmare was interesting, but I'm disappointed that Holes apparently isn't there to try and solve anything. This must be the easiest gig he's had ever. Just show up and say a few lines. They had him saying something about the blood spatter, but nothing new, and not even speculation about possible suspects.

To me the tampongate is actually kind of funny now - not as kinky as I remembered. Charles having a sense of humor, and such a low-brow one, is more surprising. And Camilla, with her "Oh darling" is pretty funny herself. This will go down in the history books. It won't be easy to take these two adulterers seriously as head of the monarchy, will it?

I really like the format of Forensic Files, but can't find the newer ones anywhere other than pay-to-stream sites. Boo. Last week HLN didn't even air Real Life Nightmare, but it will be on tonight and sounds like a good one.

I was hoping to hear more about Fergie and her psychic Madame Vasso. In Patrick Jephson's book he mentions that Madame Vasso made a few negative predictions about Charles. From the vague "he would have a terrible week" or something, to more specific things, like he would die and never be King, and Diana believed it all. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/fergie-upstages-blair-s-week-in-the-sun-1.91963

If Charles wants to modernize, those powdered wigs worn in courtrooms might be a good place to start.

I didn't miss Marino, but that photo of the headless body was a first that I can't unsee. Loved Kenda being back even if it's just for a few specials.

In the interview with the Telegraph, it sounds like the critics really ruffled Jephson's feathers. I also love the picture of Charles they chose for the article. lol "If the creative classes decide to fill that gap, how they do it is up to them. That’s called freedom of speech and it’s a right worth defending, even against those who live and work in palaces. In fact, especially against those who live and work in palaces, given their controlling instincts. What’s more, no playwright ever did as much harm to them as they have done – and continue to do – to each other." - Jephson I just started Jephson's book and am loving it. He's arrived at Kensington Palace for a job interview and luncheon with Diana. His description of their apartment as so dark and gloomy they have to burn lights even in the daytime, the lime green carpeting, Diana's perfume, etc. I feel like I'm there.

Has anyone read Shadows of a Princess, by Patrick Jephson? I'm pretty sure he's the one who claimed that Charles was talking about Elizabeth II stepping down, only it wasn't to John Major.

This just keeps getting crazier! You got zombified passengers jumping overboard, coal furnaces going full-blast but they're not going anywhere, a Mexican stand-off on B Deck "Drop your weapons!" "You drop yours first!" At least they shouldn't run out of food. Loving it!

I'm onboard.

Did anyone else watch Real Life Nightmare about the 777 airliner that vanished? I liked that it wasn't about killers for a change and remains a mystery. I love the show Air Disasters, but they always solve what happened. Here, nothing but an occasional part washing up.
