Cobb Salad

Waiting for the division of assets to be finalized? Good question, who knows what the deal was. It wasn’t like come stay with me until you close on the house next door, if it was working out that house likely would have been sitting on the market longer. I’ve been trying to find additional information about this incident online and I can’t find anything. Sometimes those online articles have an additional detail or two that the show didn’t cover for whatever reason.

Ann is a vile woman. I thought it was ironic that she wanted Donna to be put in jail yet she’s now there for a long time. I thought 35 years wasn’t enough either, she should have gotten life. I thought since Donna was shot in the face she wasn’t going to make it. I can’t imagine what it was like for her to find out later her husband was also shot but didn’t survive.

Forced socialization … ugh. If people in your neighborhood were interested they’d be doing it on their own. A bunch of my neighbors the next street over hang out outside their homes to socialize when it’s warm and it’s not HOA sponsored or whatever. In your case I’d be questioning how these activities would be funded, through HOA membership or participants paying. Anyway, about this week’s episode, I hope the family suing the neighbor and the town get the $$ they’re looking for. Major failure on the police department, I’d think they’d be asking both parties the same set of questions. Perhaps then this tragedy could have been averted since the people in that neighborhood otherwise seemed like they got along.

I live in a first floor condo that I own. The unit upstairs has been a rental for most of the time I’ve lived here. Each time a new tenant moves in I cross my fingers that they’re not going to be a lunatic. It’s mostly been okay (except for one extremely noisy one that I sort of succeeded in getting to quiet down without having to ever call the police) but I know what you mean. A while back ID used to have the roommate equivalent of this show that made me wary of ever letting anyone, even people who I’d think I know pretty well to move in with me if they’d fall on hard times. That’s when you find out they’re crazy and they’d do anything, even murder you to get what they want.

Also at least this time the aggressor didn’t try the “I was acting in self defense” nonsense.

That now his daughter is now growing up with a father in prison, I’m sorry to say with the way he was depicted in the episode maybe that is a good thing. When the dog escaped out of the yard then Andrew built the barrier to keep it from leaving again I thought it was a good idea since the dog could run out in to the street and get hit by a car. Then when it went missing I wonder now if it high tailed it out of there because of Andrew, lol. It seems like with this show whenever there’s a loose dog involved the other neighbor has a problem with it but not this time.

Regarding that first episode, that guy Hector was a real control freak. When they first showed his wife and explained how she was locked in the house all the time I was thinking she was a kidnap victim before I realized he was just a control freak and a jerk. I’m glad he’s locked up for a long time but sad that it took years for it to happen. Ana seemed like a sweet person and she didn’t deserve what she got for helping her neighbor. That second episode … I’ll never understand how anyone could keep bullying someone else and not expect a blowup of epic proportions eventually, especially when both sides have guns. Those kids who went outside to see what was happening should have just stayed inside for their safety.

I think his name was John. Anyway, I liked the pairing and overall it was a good episode. It seemed like they were both well prepared and enthusiastic about the challenge.

New episodes starting October 16: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/fear_thy_neighbor/s09

I was going to binge the episodes but after reading the comments here I’m going to skip it. I’ll tune back in when regular Naked and Afraid returns.

Recent interview with Stanley Livingston:

I was thinking he would be great for Solo that they just aired but that was 21 days and you’re out of there (unless they raise it the next time if they do it again) and I think he’d make that easily. I’d like to see how long he’d last on a show like Alone as well. I don’t remember offhand how long he went alone on his first XL but to see him compete against others without interacting with them would be interesting.

In Wrath of Khan while still on Ceti Alpha V, Khan made a remark about the fate of his “beloved wife” before he has one of his crew insert Ceti eels into both Chekhov’s and Terrell’s ears. At the time the movie was made they did consider including her in the story but if I remember correctly they did not because the actress who played her in Space Seed was suffering from MS and not in good health. I think what they did with the character made for a better story as it made Khan’s motivation to exact revenge on Kirk stronger.

It was 2012 but that’s pretty much it.

I’m planning to go back and watch the episodes again because I didn’t quite follow what the deal was with Janet either. All I know she’s the one who went through those numerous time loops giving birth over and over again. About George, yeah. He shot Shiv and had to endure that scene over and over again. Fortunate for him the nosy neighbor from across the hall happened to be a paramedic who could help Shiv from at least dying on the spot there. At the end of the scene there it looks like no one is urgently calling for the ambulance. Shiv will talk if he can make it to a hospital and be saved. I still see George as a selfish person who just wants to save himself. It looks like Sarah took the serum. Sure, Sarah is adventurous but why would anyone just take something like that from a person who doesn’t even have a medical background? She must really trust George.

Yes, Jeff did overplay the villain shtick. IMO it seemed he had many of the talking head segments in comparison to the others. I might be wrong, though. I just don’t like him and any time he showed up I cringed. About how everyone else reacted to him I think a lot of it went back to their shared history on the show together/multiple appearances that the others probably watched on their own so they knew the behavior they were dealing with. I wonder if they put together a completely different group for next time that had people with 1 or 2 appearances each if there would be the same type of reaction to the designated “villain”. The producers should really take a bunch of people we don’t know that well for next time to keep us guessing who is the most cutthroat of the bunch. Enough with these regulars. I did not watch the last 2 airings. I had enough before then.

If he’s meant to be the protagonist we’re supposed to be rooting for I’ll be disappointed. The show’s been renewed so we’ll see where it goes. I hope he gets his comeuppance.

Real interesting ending to the episode. Since George knows he’s going to be caught I guess he’ll try to be a bit more clever with how he cleans it up?

They’re my favorite of the ones they’ve shown this year. I don’t bother with watching when any of the other teams are on. The house they worked on for today’s show was such a disaster to start with - I liked how it turned out. With this group since they don’t have an on camera realtor there’s no scenes with an open house. I found I prefer the extra time being spent on the actual renovation and or reveal. At the end who cares if they report an actual sale or not.

I first saw Beetlejuice when it first came out on rental years ago and loved it. I couldn’t get enough of it so I bought a copy on VHS when it was available. I still have it. (Yes, I’m old 😊). Anyway, whenever I mentioned the movie to anyone back then I always got a negative reaction that I have never understood. It has a quirky humor that I enjoy. I never saw the cartoon but I’m wondering why it’s taken so long for a sequel to be released.

He’s gotta come up with something new for Heather, lol.

There’s a season 2 at 9 tonight on A&E if anyone is interested - I’m not sure yet if I’ll watch, it depends on how interesting the podcast (different subject) I’m tuning in beforehand is.

She started with 2 partners, one was a muscle bound man who she got along with right away but he tapped a few days in. IIRC she begged him to stay so we wouldn’t be stuck with the other man who she saw as inferior. She wasn’t that pleasant to watch the rest of the time. I’m rooting for her to be partnered with Bulent.

Love how aloof the cat is and the way the guy in the car says “do you know this person?” 😆

I’ll watch since it appears of the group Bulent is the only one who has been on the show multiple times and we haven’t seen him in a while. The only other name I recognize is Heather and I think she was the one who billed herself as an expert fisherwoman who managed to lose all of her fishing hooks in pretty quick order.
