    Also, the shirt he claimed had chocolate milk on it, but it was blood. Um, was he "repairing that screen" or "fixing that car" in the middle of the night? Did he just decide to keep wearing a bloody shirt for days or something? Did he just leave blood all over his daughters curtains, and not bother to clean it up? I'm quite sure the mother would have taken those down in two seconds after going in there if it had been done earlier. No way would a 12 year old girl be in that room with bloody curtains. Ridiculous!  

    Yes to all of this! Plus given that the daughter said the blood hadn't been there before, I was confused as to why this days-ago-possibility even became a defensible "thing".  But more confusingly, I could swear that at one point they said the police hadn't noticed the blood when they went into the room originally, so I was expecting when we saw the photos that it would be small spots, but the spots were huge, so how on earth were they missed the first time?

    The good doctor tried to make it look like a fall, complete with putting Susann's purse and an empty pill bottle at the bottom of the stairs. But Susann had a therapeutic amount of pain killer in her system, not enough to cause her to fall. And why would she have her purse and an empty pill bottle with her? Also why would she be wearing clunky dress shoes in the middle of the night, to walk from an upstairs bedroom to downstairs? Personally I would be either barefoot, in socks or slippers. Certainly not barefoot but wearing clunky dress shoes, in the middle of the night. And certainly if I felt unsteady, I wouldn't be wearing a shoe with a heel. In the middle of the freaking night.  I also think the pot at the bottom of the stairs was staged. 

    Why would Susann have Scott's blood under her fingernails, if she fell down the stairs? Or be wearing a scarf with Scott's blood on it?

    This is a headscratcher. Going from the "evidence", we are to believe that a woman in a bedtime situation, with a tenuous head situation, would come downstairs holding an empty pill bottle, a purse, and a big pan, wearing a scarf around her neck and clunky dress shoes?  That soo doesn't make sense! (OTOH, it also didn't make sense that this person with such a serious migraine that she needs to sleep in her daughter's darkened room, is in there on her computer sending emails, which is what I thought they said was discovered that she had done.)

    All I could think of about was how unlikeable these people are.  The wife is sending topless photos to people on Patrick.net (never heard of the place)? 

    I had been confused by that. Who did she lose a bet to, that she had to post the topless picture? Was it her husband? If so, what kind of a whackadoodle husband wants his wife to post a topless picture of herself? And if it wasn't her husband, why on earth is she making bets with other people that involve being topless?!

    I love my fax machine. Very happy that a fax machine saved the day. 

    Throwing in my nit about this...in this day and age, I find it very hard to believe that Faith had memorized the number of the fax machine, and I don't think she had access to her business card at that moment to get it from there.

    Aw no, a protagonist finding a ring right before a big vacation in the second episode of a comedy show's season usually isn't a good thing. =( .... Holy shit, I guessed it wasn't a real engagement ring, but it's a crummy prop from a CW show? That's really funny.

    How is it that the ring is Wolf Girl's source of power, but Ruby never told Ava about it or has ever even worn it around her if it's critical to her origin story?

    I can buy that she DID tell Ava, but Ava was totally self-absorbed and not paying real attention to things that are important to Ruby.

    I figured Ava and Ruby would hit some serious disagreements re Deb starting from when Ava lied about how her car crash happened. But oof.

    I knew when she found the ring that it wasn't an engagement ring, because if it were, why on earth would her girlfriend just leave it in a shared, very visible and accessible box that Ava would easily find? Kind of typical for Ava to not even think it through.

    As to why the existence of the ring hadn't come up already, aside from what IvySpice said, there is also the lying that Ava has done. Ruby mentioned something like, "I knew you didn't read it," so apparently Ava lied and said she had read the graphic novel that the character came from, but she clearly didn't. However, it's also a fail on the part of the writers, because Ruby said she wears it when she needs to get in character, and Ava would most definitely have noticed if Ruby was wearing a ring, and then would have recognized that ring when she saw it later in the box.

    Ava looks at this opportunity as a way to return to this collaborative relationship but as soon as she arrives at Deborah's mansion, Deborah tells her shoes off and Ava remembers who's the boss.

    I don't know why Ava is surprised and/or disappointed at this.  Deborah is literally her boss...she pays her and determines whether she keeps the job or not. They are still very good collaboratively, and are building a very solid friendship, but it's just so consistent with Ava's all-about-me-ness, that she would be disappointed at realizing that her boss is the boss!

    They're back! God how I missed those two. I laughed, I cried, I cheered them on. Perfect as always (except for K, but I'm not going to talk about that).

    I am asking this question legit seriously. Why is Kayla's character on the show? Is the actress someone known to the staff and they feel pressured to have her on? Do the writers/showrunner genuinely think that Kayla adds something positive to the show? I just don't get it, because she is an awful character and as an actress she brings absolutely nothing to the role.

    After about 10 seconds I was thinking it was going to be a fake out, mostly because no one was recognizing/swarming her.  But I was expecting it to be a drag queen impersonator.  

    Same with me! The way she walked is what gave it away almost immediately that it wasn't Deb, and the walk looked masculine.

    Goldy and Tom have really good chemistry and I'm glad they finally kissed. 

    Finally saw Curious Caterer: Foiled Plans, and I have to agree! I actually thought the lead actor and actress were another of those married couples, like the PenaVegas. The plot got a little convoluted, but I still enjoyed it. It was a little odd that they made a point of having someone say that Tom's eyes look just like his father's, but their eyes looked absolutely nothing alike, especially since Andrew Walker has fairly distinctive eyes, so you'd need to have an actor for his father who also has such distinctive eyes, if you're going to go with that angle.

  6. Have to say it...Torres and Knight had more chemistry in that one scene leaving the ranch, than Knight and Jimmy have had in all their interactions combined. In fact, when Jimmy came to the crime scene and said the thing about doing amateur beekeeping, and then Knight added something about it being a problem, I said to myself, "How the heck does she know that?", because I forgot that they were a couple! I like the character of Jimmy, but I wish they would just let the couple come to an end, on his decision that they are better off as friends.

    Delilah was introduced as a smart and fierce woman. And now she's turning into a wife that nags her husband so bad about kitchen appliances that his boss feels compelled to offer him his couch??? WTF?!?

    They seemed to have done the same with Jimmy this episode, reverting to the way they used to present him, as primarily a good-natured quirky offbeat slightly scatterbrained man-child, rather than the very competent, emotionally mature, fully grown man that he is.

    One almost did us in! We were without a kitchen for a while and we were sleeping on a sofa bed. AND it was right after we got married. 

    We moved our fridge into the living room, along with a crock pot and the microwave. And our propane grill outside has a side burner, that we were able to cook on. Somehow we made it, marriage intact, with 2 kids, for the 8 weeks of the kitchen reno. And sooo worth it!  But unlike TIm and Delilah, whose kitchen was only 8 years old without having any updates, ours was 20!

  8. For the recent Cold Justice episodes:

    • On "Bound and Gagged" it was absolutely heartbreaking that Derby was finally getting her life together when her sh*t of a husband killed her, and that she pretty much knew that it was going to happen when she tried to leave him. I hate that he got away with it for so long, and while I'm super glad he was arrested, I'm not sure it will ever end up going to trial...it just didn't seem like there was enough evidence to convict.
    • On "Stabbed in the Heart", the minute they said in the very opening, that the son had come to surprise the dad for breakfast on the morning of the  graduation, I knew that the son was actually not slated to graduate and was guilty of killing his dad. We have seen time and time again that when a big lifestyle secret is about to be exposed, especially with education, that the secret-keeper will often murder to try to keep the secret. And what was up with the detective woman saying, regarding the fact that a window had been broken, "why would the son need to break the window when he had a key to the house?" I was thinking, "duh, to make it look like a break-in", and really wondered if that dialogue was just scripted for moving the plot along or if she was really that stupid. And then, speaking of stupid, of course it turns out that the window has been broken after the crime was committed, given that the glass was on top of the blood. Reminds me of the one where the glass had been broken from the inside to the outside, so all the glass was outside the house. In that one and this one, the perps were males in the 17-19 age group...not the brightest bulbs in the pack!

    I remember a case where Keith happened to see someone he knew from a previous case driving on the Pacific Coast Highway. She recognized him and if I recall correctly, they pulled over and got caught up with each other.  I think it lead to another episode, where Keith described their chance encounter. 

    Yep, I remember that. It was interesting to me because I had never thought about how a bond may be formed between the host and the subjects. Also, it cracked me up thinking about driving on the PCH and just seeing Keith Morrison in the car next to you!

    Tonight's episode of Kill or be Killed enraged me. The case was about a teen who killed his father. The DA wanted to charge with him with second degree murder even though his father took him from his mother and abused two wives. Thankfully charges were reduced and her served no jail time. The police and DA were so inflexible.

    I felt the same way, and was glad that they reduced the charges. However, what was disconcerting, was the thing at the very end about how he is in contact with neither his biological family (like the mom he found out was still alive!) or the stepmother's family (who are the ones who got him out on bail and also picked him up when he was released!). It's great that he's got a girlfriend (supposedly) and that her family likes him (supposedly), but he is incredibly flat in his affect while talking and has, I think, been permanently f*cked up by what his dad did to him, and then the process of what he went through after he murdered him. Also, I was curious why the stepmother didn't take him in when she left.

  11. While I enjoyed the episode, the resolution regarding Jared's mindset change/understanding, and the final dialogue in the hospital room, read like a propaganda reel for NCIS. Makes me wonder why, and why now. Is the real NCIS having a shortage of applicants? Has the real NCIS's reputation taken a hit lately from something? It was so heavy-handed and random, that I can't help but think there must have been a reason.

    I was on the edge of my seat during the surgery, hoping her heart didn't give out on her.  Or, when they got to the little rental in Houston, she looked and sounded like she was on her last breath. 

    I was watching on replay, and once we got to the surgery portion, and for the rest of the show, I kept checking how much time was left in the episode, figuring that as long as there is a decent amount of time left vis-a-vis where they are in months, she probably doesn't die!

    I thought the Costa Rica destination was to get plastic surgery to change her appearance.  No??

    Actually, no. She went to Costa Rica to escape and blend in to what is apparently a very active yoga community, with apparently lots of blondes. She went to an entirely different country for the plastic surgery, but the agents didn't know that at the time, so they spent over a week walking up and down the Costa Rican beaches looking for her...they said they logged 10 miles a day of walking.

    Just watched the most recent episode of Cold Justice, "The Reporter". And while I do agree that the ex-boyfriend did it, there was not a scintilla of evidence. Maybe they were being overly optimistic in the presentation to the family at the end, when they said the DA's office is taking the case, because they did say something like there's one or two things that they have to button up before the case moves forward, and that there's no timeframe. 

    Quoting myself because this week's episode also didn't appear that it will result in the case going forward. The wording this time was something like "We presented the case and are being encouraged to go on." But again, no evidence, just motive and suspicion. The case was heartbreaking, and I wonder if the daughter was just being polite when she said something like, "At least someone took another look, and that's good enough", or something like that. She could probably tell it likely won't  result in a court case, but still wanted to show appreciation of the effort.

    IMO, as much as this series stretches believability, the whole mother storyline was just too much.

    The vast majority of states, with only a few exceptions, require a license to be a private investigator. IIRC, she gave no indication of having done anything like that, although I think she did talk about having spent time researching it. At least she acknowledged that her clients at this point are wives looking to find out if their husbands are cheating, rather than getting some great intriguing cases...but that's probably next!

  16. Well, I'm a sucker for behind-the-scenes info, so I like the occasional show like this one was. The host seemed to do a pretty good job for what the purpose was.

    Looking ahead to next week's reunion, all I could think of was someone please tell the women on the reunions, that ultra-super-duper-extra glammed up does not necessarily equal more attractive!

    I’ve only seen Jaime and Doug and Aris’s seasons out of this group. But even though I have no idea who these people are or what they experienced, I’m still engaged. Paige’s husband had a pregnant fiancé pop up?!? Wow!! What season was that?! I just posted earlier in the other thread that I was hesitant to stream earlier seasons because the amount of content seems daunting, but I would tune in to see that fallout.

    It was awful. Her "husband," Chris was just an awful person. Lied constantly; arrogant (with no substance); tried to convince Paige that he was "afraid he would fall in love with her" while admitting on camera that he didn't think she was attractive (though he did have sex with her)... it was painful to watch, honestly.

    Just to close the loop...the "Chris" that was mentioned a lot in the earlier thread that JenE4 mentioned, is Paige's husband Chris.

    I liked the episode up to the moment when it turned out the element must be extraterrestrial.  Mainly cause I hate that "aliens did it" crap.

    Reminds me of how I feel about Scooby Doo...in the original cartoons, every time there was an alien or otherworldly person or occurrence, it was always due to someone in a mask or some special effects someone had rigged up. But in 1987 and 1988 there were three movies that, according to Wiki, "featured the characters encountering actual monsters and ghosts rather than masqueraded people." And then in 1998-2001, there were four movies, featuring real zombies, witches, ghosts, and alien invaders. Blasphemy!!

    And just to tie it all back to NCIS, Gary Cole was in Scooby Doo! He had an ongoing role as Mayor Fred Jones, Sr, who is the father of Fred(die).  And apparently he also played Shaggy's dad in an episode of a spin-off called Velma.

    You're welcome!

    I watched the Carter marathon off-and-on over the Easter weekend.  It was just a fun, light detective series, much like Psych.  I’m sorry it was only 2 seasons.  Winning cast who clearly enjoyed working together, led by goofy, charming Jerry O’Connell.  I had never seen Sydney Poitier Heartsong before (Sidney’s lovely daughter) and I always, always love Kristian Bruun.   

    If you missed the marathon, you can catch both seasons via Amazon Prime. It links to Hallmark Movies Now, but it says there is a 7-day free trial, so if you're ready to binge, you can see it all for free in a week!

  20. I watched this yesterday on-demand, and now that it's the next day, I have a question. Did they ever resolve the actual issue of how he was murdered? The creepy kidnapping guy only did basically the special-effects stuff to scare him, and didn't shoot him. So were we supposed to conclude that the shots came from a drone, given how they showed the angle coming from way above? And that the timing of the drone shooting at the exact same time as creepy guy was doing his thing, was just a giant coincidence? If so, then what about the whole bullet mystery?  Jimmy said the wounds did not look normal, and also no bullets were found. If the drone killed him, then how did the bullets get picked up? And that still doesn't explain anything about the wounds being so mysterious. Did I miss something that explained any or all of this?

Given how thorough a job they did during this time, I don't see how there could any more information to come to light that would make the case rise to be prosecutable, let alone beyond a reasonable doubt.
