Joy and Austin: This One Time At Family Camp
dargosmydaddy replied to frenchtoast's topic in Counting On
None of the other younger girls really read with confidence, either. And they all (including Joy) seemed to have a bit of trouble with understanding a couple of the (fairly straightforward) questions. I am always strangely fascinated by Duggar sibling dynamics, so I watched the whole video. Jenni and Jordyn seemed sad/ unenthusiastic (a constant state for Jenni since her toddler years), although Jenni does seem to genuinely enjoy animals and had some life in her when discussing her goal to get some mini cows. Was she the one who said she wanted to be a vet back when she was a little kid? Too bad her lack of education and opportunities will prevent that. I know everyone thinks Johanna looks like a mini Joy, but I was seeing a lot of Jessa in her facial expressions when she was talking. She was the most enthusiastic in the video. I think she will be another daughter who marries young because she just wants out of the big house. Hopefully she ends up with a halfway decent guy. I was also amused that they still call her "Hansel" (this nickname first came up on the show years ago, and always seemed surprisingly masculine for a Duggar girl). Josie seemed much younger than the rest, and prone to butting in when she didn't need to. I did feel bad for her when she mentioned Tyler or Michael tearing the head off her doll back in the day before she even got to play with it. Jana is still over everything. The most animation she showed was her wistful reminiscing about the old house. I do wonder whether Joy had someone else (non-sister) to keep an eye on her kids while she did the video with her sisters? She said Austin was out of town. Evy wandered in and out now and then, and I realize the video was edited and Joy might have gotten up in between to deal with the kids, but it still seems odd (though on-brand, I suppose) to leave your small children to their own devices while you hang out (and film a 20-minute video) with your sisters. -

Yes, typo. I fixed it in the original post. -

At first glance I thought she was cosplaying as a Nonnatus House midwife! 😃 They do look happy.- 915 replies

Jeremiah & Hannah: Done Counting and Done Caring

Jed!'s kids are closer together (though not quite Irish twins), but they didn't get pregnant with their first as quickly. Jed!+Katey--> married 4/3/21, first kid born 5/2/22, second born 5/24/23 Jer+Hannah--> married 3/26/22, first kid born 12/25/22, second born 2/25?/24 -
I think it's due to someone/ multiple people complaining about this particular thread, and not about the others? I would think the other threads will get noticed eventually (or perhaps not; who knows?). The Bateses are no longer on the air, but their thread hasn't gotten red lit, even though the snark there is in the same vein as here (minus a felon), and some of their thread titles are similarly snarky (Is it mean to refer to John Webster as Lurch? Is "frumping" offensive?).

I still have reactions.

Anyone else here a fan of Taskmaster? (Great show, highly recommend.) The red light is reminding me a bit of this task: (Warning: video contains some NSFW language)
-
So, the forum of the other big fundie family, which I would say has discussions and thread titles in the same vein as this one-- no red light. The forum of another TLC family show, which I dip into on occasion and which has a regular poster who makes comments that go beyond snarky and are downright mean (and frequently include foul language)-- no red light. Are "they" (these silent mods) working their way through all the forums, and this one got picked on first because it's busier/ more populated, and the rest will eventually get red-lighted, too? Or did someone specifically report threads in this forum? What gives? (Also, the thread here that is the most Duggar-adjacent and has gotten the most snark of late... not locked. I'm mildly amused picturing a Duggar fan/ associate/ actual family member coming in here to report threads, only to leave that one alone because even they know the snark is fully warranted...)

Season 4 Discussion Thread
dargosmydaddy replied to DanaK's topic in All Creatures Great And Small (2021)
On the Miss Scarlet and the Duke board, someone posted a tweet that quoted a PBS exec saying that there would be news about All Creatures and Miss Scarlet soon. From the way it was phrased, it sounded like they were both renewed. -
Book Talk Discussion thread

It was during the war, while James was still training in England. I seem to remember that he was told he'd get a brief leave when the baby was born, but he really missed Helen and managed to sneak away a few times to go see her... and one of those times he arrived right after the baby was born. And then he lied and had word sent that the baby was born several weeks later, so that he could have his leave after Helen was recovered and they could enjoy their time together more. -
S04.E06: The Fugitive
dargosmydaddy replied to Door County Cherry's topic in Miss Scarlet And The Duke
I think it's decided by the British networks, as the Christmas specials are a big thing there in terms of holiday viewing. Probably based on ratings/ popularity. I know Grantchester had a Christmas special once, but never again. The only British mystery that I can think of that seems to have a regular Christmas special is Death in Paradise? With Miss Scarlet, it seems to be a mainly PBS-led production these past few seasons (I think seasons 3 and 4 aired on PBS first... the network it airs on in the UK, Alibi, doesn't seem to be a major network), and I doubt PBS cares about Christmas specials, especially since their schedule doesn't align to actually show the special on Christmas. -

I didn't necessarily mean a financial deal (though as @chaifan pointed out, the business seems to have miraculous improved in the month to six weeks since Nash returned), but you'd think it would behoove Nash to keep the business running, too. Could he not make her a partner/ temporarily cede his business to her/ do something, legally speaking, to keep the Nash and Sons office running even though he can't head it? It just seemed weird/ a plot contrivance to let all that go when they were finally successful. (And I get that Nash was successful before Eliza and presumably figures he can be again after his legal troubles are over, but considering their newfound friendship, you'd think he'd want to help her out.)
