Watched the marathon on Hallmark yesterday while nursing a migraine.  Jessica Bowman's 'Colleen' is SO annoying.  In 'All That Glitters' her whiny, bratty " you want me to do what YOU want - well, what about what I want" tantrum at Dr. Mike made me want to punch her in the teeth.  

So you don't feel that Colleen should have been allowed to decide what to do with her own life?

That's harsh.

 I loved the show when it first aired. I even have the complete collection but after going back to watch the episodes a few things stuck with me. Brian is the most annoying child throughout the entire series. Must be the cliche television child syndrome. He got away with too much. He was a busybody-all in the adults business. Every new character who arrived in town with some creative ability, he just had to do the same, and he was babied too much. I find myself unable to stomach his annoyance. Hank had a horse he mistreated so Brian wanted the horse. He was jealous of the time Mike spent with Katie so he got bad grades in school. The list goes on and on with this child.

So you feel that a child on a TV show never should be allowed to be anything but a paragon of perfection?

I would say that Brian was a very good kid 95 % of the time though, so I don't get your complaint at all.

 I hate Sully. He is cultural appropriation at its finest. The white savior to the Native Americans. He was selfish. It was okay for him to do whatever he wanted to do but let Mike want the same. 

Can you give me an example of Sully being selfish or not letting Michaela do what she wanted?

I don't remember that at all!

I read the "How No to Flirt," one and just thought about the comparison between Lord M. and Albert.  Lord M. is intelligent, prudent, conservative and measured in all he does.  Albert is brooding, liberal,  artistic, athletic and dramatic.  What 20 year-old girl wouldn't prefer Albert?  When I was in my 20's the oldest man I dated was 28 and I broke up with him after a few dates, because he just had that older generation vibe that reminded me of my father. (Ewww.)  Youth calls to youth.  Victoria may get her back-up over some of the things Albert says, but a part of her probably recognizes the need for change in herself and her country and that she will be more able to go there with Albert. 

In any case why do we think Victoria deserves someone like Lord M over Albert?  What has she done to prove herself more in his stage of wisdom and maturity than Albert's? 

I agree. And besides, I don't see why anyone could expect Victoria to end up with Lord M.

Spoiler

Not only do we know from history, that it could never turn out that way. He was forty years older than her and not even a royal.

But I guess that some people love him as much as I love Albert, so... :/

I'm firmly entrenched with Sunday Night PBS or I wouldn't  even be watching this, because I so much prefer historical fiction to biography.  The writers try  so hard to make the old Kings and Queens relatable and admirable, but sadly, most of them just aren't.  So they twist themselves into knots trying to make us overlook Victoria's faults and we do the same ourselves, but I'd really so much rather have a nice big series taken from Norah Lofts house trilogy or more Trollop where karma and story arcs can work to our satisfaction.

No, I don't feel that they ever tried to make us overlook Victoria's faults. You can perhaps argue that she was even worse in real life, or something. But they still allowed her to not be perfect all the time.

I felt sorry for his poor valet.  Everytime Albert changes his shirt he needs brand new ones because there are giant holes in them or arms missing.  I'm guessing the valet isn't able to sell the old shirts on the street like everyone else.

Yeah, Albert kept ruining his shirts to impress Victoria! :D

Albert's mustache looks really out of place on the guy's face (to me, anyway).  It's as if Albert grew one not because it was a cool thing for guys to do back then, but a way to prevent others from thinking he's 12. 

LOL! Yeah... As much as I love Tom Hughes as Albert, I think I would have preferred him without the fake moustache.

I'm at season 5 of binging the show and just realized how much the writing made me dislike his character that season. Dr.Mike should have had no patience for all his season 5/6 actions and all the danger he brought her, the kids and the family. The entire town never should have forgiven him.

I know it was to set up Daniel as better in case Joe didn't return, but it worked. 

What exactly did you not like? As far as I remember, Sully did what he had to do.

I liked both Colleens. Erica played the character as much more of a whiner, but she also was younger and many teenage girls are whiners.  Jessica seemed to be more mature, but she also was older and almost an adult.
