S05.E06: Dangerous Liaisons
dargosmydaddy replied to chitowngirl's topic in Miss Scarlet And The Duke
According to IMDB, it's the same actor as last season, but he was played by a different actor in season 2. -

No, Tristan turned back because they'd forgotten the wine; we see Siegfried pick it up, and then presumably they kept going. -
S05.E06: Dangerous Liaisons

Vapid seems harsh. I agree it would be refreshing to forego a romance altogether, but these shows want to stick to their formula (see Grantchester, where Geordie Keating is currently bromancing his third vicar...). To me, there was enough difference between the relationships of Eliza/Duke (full of history, sizzling chemistry, but with toxic elements) and Eliza/Blake (slow to develop, much more adult in nature, the building of mutual respect) to make it palatable and interesting, and while I guess it's hard to say something was slowly developed in a series that only lasts six episodes, they hardly rushed her into a romance. I wasn't seeing much in the way of "googly eyes"-- they had a fairly professional relationship (insofar as Eliza can manage, as she's hardly a model of Victorian-era decorum, but she's like that with everyone, not just Blake), and the series ended with her bringing him (and his daughter) a slice of cake, not some torrid love scene. I mean, I guess the case could be made that pairing Eliza off with Nash would be a better/ less predictable option, but if there has to be romance (and apparently there does), I prefer Blake to Nash. -
How do people on your social media know what you are or aren't boycotting unless you post about it? Or do you just mean these people post things about what others (generally, not specifically targeted at you) should be boycotting, and you feel guilty if you're not? (In which case... I know it can be easier said than done, but... don't take it personally?) Can you just kind of scroll past these kind of posts if that's the case?

Her first child was also born while she was on the show (this pregnancy was her second)... I get that a growing family presents more challenges, but I wouldn't speculate that she's going to want off the show unless I hear otherwise. Because she's the lead in a standard network series? Don't get me wrong, I'd love if that wasn't the expectation, but most shows seem to think it's a must... I did think she looked less obviously pregnant in it... I wonder if that was just the cut of the dress, or if that scene was filmed much earlier or later for some reason? -

Still better than the picture Jessa posted of one of her kids in the fridge... -

Thank you! If it's not a typo, I'm gobsmacked. He looks a decade younger. -

Does Google give an actual source? When I Googled him, nothing came up with a year or an age. -
Season 5 Discussion Thread
dargosmydaddy replied to DanaK's topic in All Creatures Great And Small (2021)
Just curious where you read this? I tried Googling the actor, and couldn't find anything about his age. Count me among the crowd who believes Siegfried/ Audrey is endgame. We've already weathered Gerald and several Siegfried dalliances... Mrs. Grantley won't stick. -
We got a similar memo last week from our superintendent (I teach high school). Back in February 2020, before everything shut down but when everyone was starting to worry, events were getting cancelled, etc., I remember one of my students saying she felt like we were living in the beginning of a disaster movie and she really didn't like it. I am feeling that way now, and I really, really don't like it.

Clarence is awesome. His increased role this season almost makes up for the criminal underuse of Fitzroy. Almost.

Jed! and Katey: Biblically Bunking Together
dargosmydaddy replied to Scarlett45's topic in Counting On
I feel like Jed and Jer developed their own identities, but perhaps only because they were part of the Howler collective and their parents didn't have the time, energy, or desire to push the "twin" identity. I mean, in a way all the Duggar children were forced into having no identity beyond the family (matching clothes, a love of pickles, the ability to spout smug facts about why they were different and superior to everyone else), but beyond that indoctrination they were kind of left to raise themselves. Jeremiah always came across as kind of quiet and more thoughtful (as in, taking the time to actually think before saying something) than the average Howler, and I think he was the one who liked chess and drawing? -
Season 5 Discussion Thread
dargosmydaddy replied to DanaK's topic in All Creatures Great And Small (2021)
I thought Helen said something about Tris during one of her conversations with Mrs. Hall? Maybe I misheard. For the whole episode I was thinking the not-dead-cat's owner looked familiar... had to IMDb it, and was gobsmacked to realize it was Win Thursday (Caroline O'Neill) from Endeavour!- 289 replies

Why Grammar Matters: A Place To Discuss Matters Of Grammar
dargosmydaddy replied to candall's topic in Everything Else
And poem lines don't need to end with any punctuation, if you wouldn't normally put it there in a "regular" sentence.
