I did not care for the Crimes of Fashion: Killer Clutch mystery. It was very, very difficult to understand what the people who spoke with French accents were saying, especially when they were yelling. I didn't particularly care for the lead character. Some of the writing felt very stilted. And that owner guy was far sexier than the detective!

When I saw his DGAF expression as she declared her love, I thought "Wait. He must be masking his reaction, cause there's no way they'd telegraph the ending." But sure enough, that's exactly what they did. I guess it's nice to see that Joey is no actor when it comes to feigning happiness.

So are we thinking that they will try to make Webb be her next relationship?

I forgot there was a forum dedicated to Cold Justice! Yes, the new season has started. I posted this over in the True Crime forum, but will post again here as well. Regarding the first episode of the season...I don't think they had near enough evidence to bring the case to court. I think the guy is guilty as sin, and there was a smattering of circumstantial evidence (like the credit cards), but everything else was basically motive and character. When they gave the de-brief to the niece (?) at the end, they were using a lot of gobbledy-gook say-nothing words, because I think they were told they need to do a lot more in order to even be able to get an arrest.

Quoting myself because I watched the second episode of this season's Cold Justice, and again I don't think there's enough evidence. They arrested the guy, which is farther than the last episode got, but I seriously doubt it will go to trial. There's just not enough evidence of actual murder, circumstantial or otherwise. Again, he's almost assuredly guilty, and there's plenty to show anger issues and problems in the relationship, and opportunity, but not one thing related to the actual act of murder.

It was funny when even Trevor said (to Chelsea I think) that Laura was his number 2 but she seems mean. Chelsea's dress looked matronly AF, and Amy's dress was wearing her rather than the other way around. Additionally, the spaghetti strap seersucker top she was wearing with Jimmy just made her boobs look saggy and made her look big. When Chelsea told Jimmy that as soon as he saw Jessica's picture, he started behaving differently, she was completely dismissing that once she knew Jimmy saw Jessica's picture, then she started behaving differently. Also, let's not discount Jimmy's insecurity. Early on, maybe when the couples were all on vacation, he said to the other guys that his relationship was the strongest of all of them, when clearly already it had shown signs of problems. Then at the party, when Chelsea said something about "there's the strongest couple", referring to Amy and Johnny, Jimmy basically imploded. He drilled her mercilessly about how could she say that, and forced her to retreat into an "I was kidding thing", but even that wasn't enough, and she ended up saying something like, "I would never just say something like that seriously", even though she absolutely had said it seriously. I think Jimmy prides himself on his nice-guy persona, but I think he is a manipulative sh*t. When he was having the fight with Chelsea about going out for the buddy's party, at one point he tried to be all reassuring and said to her something about how if she's uncomfortable with his going out like that, then she just needs to ask him to pull back. So she did ask, and he said he wouldn't. F*ck you, Jimmy.

What's maddening about that style of top, is that if you're going to wear it, you need to commit to it and be totally comfortable with wearing it. Laura was constantly tugging at it, and being very self-conscious about it. And given that when you wear something like that, you are directly calling attention to your boobs, it was surprisingly unflattering when viewed from the side and seeing her basically saggy boobs.

Yes. It's been annoying me all along. I was genuinely appalled when she first told him that she would not be kissing him because he kissed someone else, and she told him he needed to "learn your lesson". Yes, I am aware that she then planted a big one on his lips, but it is said that in jest resides some truth. I think that a part of her absolutely believes he did something wrong. When I told my husband about this, he imitated what he would have done, which was to immediately get a cold look in his eyes and say very calmly and coolly, "Oh I learned my lesson", and walk out.

For anyone who knows French...when Maria was speaking about Joey, and saying something that she would say to him in French, she used "vous" rather than "tu", which makes absolutely no sense since "vous" is the formal word for 'you' and "tu" is the familiar word. For someone you are dating, you would absolutely use "tu"!

I use Cox, and it still says Movies & Mysteries. And you'd think that if a company wanted to re-brand, that one of the very first places the name change would appear is the website. But nope, HM&M's website still has the exact same wording!

Did anyone else watch the season premier of Cold Justice? I don't think they had near enough evidence to bring the case to court. I think the guy is guilty as sin, and there was a smattering of circumstantial evidence (like the credit cards), but everything else was basically motive and character. When they gave the de-brief to the niece (?) at the end, they were using a lot of gobbledy-gook say-nothing words, because I think they were told they need to do a lot more.

Did anyone else's hinky meter go off when they said that it had been ruled an accident from tripping and hitting his head on the coffee table? Mine sure did, so I wasn't at all surprised when they later said there was actually foul play. Not only that, the guy had NO ALIBI, and they were apparently like "Drunk neighbor across the street, no alibi, has left town. Cool."

There was a look she had on her face at one point when they were talking with Pastor Cal and Dr. Pepper that was absolutely terrified. Her eyes were as big as saucers, she was shaking, and I don't think there's any way she could have faked that. 1000% Given that Becca constantly talks about trying to initiate and being rejected, even for flirting, I really wish she would just ask Austin how it feels when she is doing that and why he shoots it down. It doesn't sound like they have ever actually discussed that, so she just keeps on doing it, I guess in hopes that it will pay off at some point.

I am sincerely curious how SummerDreams, or anyone else who genuinely thinks looks are irrelevant to attraction and love, would feel if someone with long, stringy, dirty, matted hair, lots of missing teeth, wearing stained filthy clothing, with a Manson-like intensity stare, came up to you and started flirting. It's hard for me to believe that appearance would not be relevant, so I would love to hear that thought process.

I watched Crimetime: Freefall. Meh. The two leads have a playful banter and buddy-buddy chemistry, but I don't sense any romantic chemistry. (I also couldn't get past Hadley's unflattering curly bangs.) I knew it would be the security guy, because they didn't delve into him at all. One thing that was laughably bad was when the victim's mother sat down with Hadley and in total sincerity, begged her to get involved because of her crime-solving success on the TV show. It also didn't ring true that Hadley couldn't stop yelling out the trivia answers. This is a woman who is an actress, and as such is very used to taking direction, and she is not that long removed from those days. I also don't think they could decide if they wanted her to be down-to-earth or a my-assistant-will-handle-that diva. Hadley's mom looked so much like a Black version of Lily Tomlin. And I was confused as to what the mom was apologizing for at the end, that had something to do with that fan guy. I was also confused because I'm pretty sure Hadley said at one point that the move was temporary. I definitely noticed when the kids were complaining about having moved, she said that if something good came up back in LA (or words to that effect), she promised they would move back. As soon as she said that, I knew that something good would be offered but she would choose to stay. However...making a blanket promise like that is a terrible idea, and breaking that promise just makes her promises look cheap in the first place. It's now the next day after I watched, and I can't remember why the security guy killed the victim, so that's not too good. Can anybody fill me in? One thing I absolutely loved, was when she went to the house where the victim's business partner and the ex were, and she asked them some busybody nosy crime-solving question, and they explained something about how nothing good came of when they spoke to her before, so they closed the door on her. That was hysterical, because in other Hallmark Mysteries, the heroine crime-solver asks all these questions of people who have no need or reason to answer her questions, but they do, and barely ever ask her why she's asking!

I sort of thought maybe I heard a reference to that, but I'm not sure...when did either of them say that he uses condoms but that he doesn't think they were enough? Also, when she talked about not wanting to use hormones because her body is stable right now (or whatever she actually said), I wondered if that was a veiled reference to not wanting to gain weight. Plus, there are other non-hormonal options, like an IUD or the female condom. Regardless, if he is already using condoms, and they don't think that's enough, and there are no other options for him, and the inability to have sex is getting in the way of developing their relationship, then there are only two options: break up or have her find some additional form of birth control. They need to bottom-line this situation and stop vaguely dancing around it.

IIRC, he literally talked about the importance of his ego twice in the pods...and that's just twice that we saw. There was probably more mentions that we didn't see.

I thought the one who got Botox was the one who looks sorta like Chelsea, but is more conceited....Sarah Ann? I am still stunned that someone with a child would consider marrying a stranger, and then essentially forcing their child to accept the person sight unseen as a step-parent.

There is one aspect of See No Evil that I've really been struck with, and that is the no-win task of trying to make looking at video footage into compelling TV. It always follows the same format: "Bring up the tape to just before 11:10 pm." "Where is he?" "There he is!" "Where is he going?" "Wait, who is that?" "Rewind and play that part again!" "What is he doing?" "Can you get a close-up on that?" And then the narrator concludes, "The footage was too grainy to make out the license plate."

OK, so here's what I wondered about, regarding lying. Remy stated that he had done 26 marathons this year (whatever year the interview was taped). I got curious about how he did, especially doing so many...essentially one every other week, which is quite a significant running accomplishment. I scoured the entire Internet, and the running race results web sites, and found nothing, nada, not a thing for ANY marathon, let alone 26 of them in a year. Interestingly, the only mention of Remy and racing that I found, was a narrative from a close friend, who did mention Remy training and having about a 10-minute mile pace, but for shorter distances. We know that there genuinely was running training, because of the mistress talking all about it, and the running-clothes-buying thing. And the anecdote that was shared about Remy deciding to do a marathon with no water (WTAF!). But the fact that there are zero race results with his name, just adds further shade to an already shady-AF guy.

Not sure if anyone here also watches the Hallmark Mysteries, but I just found out that Andrea Canning was the impetus for the Ruby Herring Mysteries series! Turns out that she has written thrillers for LIfetime, and mysteries and Christmas movies for Hallmark. She had been a fan of Lifetime and Hallmark movies and thought she could probably do that, especially given that she was working for Dateline and had a "wealth of information swirling around in her head". So she contacted a Lifetime producer and it took off from there.

I finally got to see Mystery on Mistletoe Lane. It was slow at first, but it picked up and was very enjoyable. I was so pleasantly surprised at the chemistry between the two leads. I had only seen Victor Webster in the Matchmaker Mysteries with Danica McKellar and there was zero chemistry, probably due in large part to her wooden acting in the series. I had never seen Erica Cerra before, but she was very good. Have to agree with chitowngirl about the instant unpacking from the move. The other thing that bothered me was that given how long it had been since anyone lived in the house, it sure had an updated look!

I was watching an episode of TVOne's Fatal Attraction true crime show, and saw Steve Spingola from Cold Justice. The episode featured a case that had been worked by the Chattanooga PD, but went cold. Then they were contacted by Cold Justice to see if they had any cases Cold Justice could help with, and they came in and helped solve it. The funny part was when they showed Spingola, the chryon underneath said he was the "host of Cold Justice". Wonder what Kelly Siegler would say about that?😉

Her name is Joanne Carducci, and she is an on-line political commentator from New Jersey, known as "Jo from Jerz". She became known for her anti-Trump commentary during his administration, joining Twitter at the time specifically to denounce Trump.

I wasn't referring to the times when she was getting to know him, and she thought he was trying to interview her, and she would cut him off or run away. I was referring to once everything was out in the open, she said something implying dishonesty on his part, but other than giving her a false name, he never actually said anything false about himself. She's the one who concluded he was a reporter, but her wording made it sound like he had misled her about it and he didn't correct her about it. Maybe he was just being a gentleman.
