Cobb Salad

Yeah, especially for the number of times Beaver got egged on by his supposed friends do stupid things and get in trouble. You’d think he’d learn. One example: the episode “In the Soup”.

Very likely unless there’s something very egregious going on like a death or severe malnutrition similar to a case here in NJ a number of years ago. That doesn’t seem to be the case here.

I watched a few minutes of the segment that started at 8 pm last night when Natalia was “escaping”. That text message response from Cynthia asking “will I still be the payee on your checks” was interesting as well as the comments that Beth Karas (the legal expert) made about that. For someone to just leave after being part of the family for 10+ years and ask about money right off the bat tells me that the Mans only saw Natalia as an additional money source and didn’t genuinely care about her welfare first. If the allegations about abuse are true, I hope someone is looking into that given there’s other children in that house. A lot of their income seems to be linked to having all of these foster children. To not close the money part of the story in the end was sloppy. I assume she did but who knows. I too hope this is the end of the ID Channel shows.

She’s of a legal age so I don’t get this whole running off in the middle of the night thing. I wish her the best but there’s something not right about all of this. Just wondering if money (like her disability checks and whatever else) is involved here and the Mans wouldn’t have liked it if she went to them to say she wants to live somewhere else. I’m not sure I’ll watch the series this week. I guess it’ll depend on what else is on at that time.

It’s also on Heroes and Icons.

Do they plan to watch an episode? If I met someone who has never seen an episode of Seinfeld I’m not sure which one to recommend except to say try watching a bunch of episodes if you happen to see it on TV or streaming. Jason Alexander co hosts a podcast “Really No Really” and the other day they had their Festivus episode where they interviewed the episode writer whose Father inspired the episode:

I think as homeowners they should have been asking about that during the buying process plus having it addressed as a condition of closing. You’d think if you’re moving in to a house with children you’d want them to be able to play in the backyard.

Meanwhile with all of the calls these people were making to the police there was one less unit available for a real emergency. It’s ridiculous to expect the police to really do anything like in the situations shown in last night’s episode except to tell them to stop it. The best rule here is mind your own business when it involves activities other people are doing on their own property. It might be hard for some people but if they don’t like what’s going on across the street, just don’t look in that direction. It’s not that hard. What I was curious about was the comment the one woman made about their backyard that it had all these holes in it - how did that happen? I guess it wasn’t due to the nature of the ground there like a sinkhole or they shouldn’t be living there at all.

Yeah, I’d sympathize with the guy to a point if he was annoyed about the neighbors having parties or whatever and inviting their friends over who’d park all over the place but to keep losing it over and over because they were parking where they were just as entitled to as he was was just ridiculous. Then for him to call the police so they’d issue parking tickets was just as bad. I’m sure the city of Baltimore was happy to get the money. You’re in the city! Parking is already a challenge there! It’s a crime the case hasn’t been settled. He belongs in prison.

The only thing I can come up with is to keep him from talking although with some quick thinking maybe Reggie could be silenced some other way other than murdering him. I thought it was a bit extreme as well.

@Red Bridey Yes! That guy had wayyyyy too much time on his hands as well as an air of superiority.

That guy Danny was wound too tight to say the least. 26 years or whatever it was living in that neighborhood didn’t give him the right to rule over everyone and follow his orders. He’s lucky that his neighbors were doing their home renovations during the DAY, I assume within reasonable hours. Of course that’s going to make noise, it’s not going to go on forever like someone playing their music loudly or running some car with a noisy engine. It’s sad it ended with a shooting however that’s how these situations usually end. Not surprised he tried to claim self defense. From the way the story was told it seems like Nick was trying to goad him into a fist fight. I wonder how Danny finds prison these days, it probably gets noisy there, how does he deal with that? He realizes now due to his age that he’s pretty much serving a life sentence. Maybe that should have gone into his thinking before he decided to pull the trigger. Oh well.

Yes, plus who knows how long it took him to build his kingdom. Perhaps he didn’t want to do all that hard work again or would he be able to embed himself somewhere different with people who could help him. Thankfully he didn’t flee to the US.

Yeah, the part about using social media. That’s right not everyone uses Twitter or Facebook, etc. (I don’t) Pretty lazy of the RCMP. The mention of Gabriel trying to buy up lots of the properties in his neighborhood didn’t sound like a good thing. Then he wanted to low ball the guy who was actually willing to sell to him, what a jerk. It was chilling that some random woman who was out for a walk was killed as part of his murder spree. Since it took place in a safe neighborhood that’s the last place you’d think you’d be going for a walk and putting your life in danger.

I caught an airing on AMC recently - came in past the halfway point, around the time when Vincent shot that guy in the face while on the way to see Marcellus. It felt like they cut a scene so I did a full rewatch from my VHS copy (yes I still have a VCR, lol) and found AMC cut a few minutes from the shooting to when they’re at Jimmy’s house hearing him complain about how much trouble he’d be in if his wife found out. I don’t know if there’s any other cuts. Anyway, having recently watched the movie from start to finish for the first time in a number of years, yes I agree it deserves its status as an influential movie. What’s fun (for me) is the non linear way the stories are told, plus the characters are not exclusive to their own stories without confusing the viewer. I’ve tried to watch other Tarantino movies and I can’t get into them. There was a rumor floating around a while back that he’d direct a Star Trek movie - that would be something I’d love to watch.
