I hate the Phil and Rose moving out eps. Skip them! The pills - I have sympathy for Rose and quite like the episode. Even though the story is a bit far fetched as in 30 years getting pills from the Dr in Minnesota, addiction (like Dorothy's gambling addiction) is tough and unpredictable, considered nowadays as an illness, and Rose got angry/irratic when she was feeling ill (flu, hiv scare) - and I think this is the same, so I am ok with her behaviour in these circumstances.

This has always puzzled me, and somewhat irritated me. Not only does it make Rose just look insane it's a missed trick. Her daughter was going to Oxford? Really? I don't buy that. Well I choose not to.

The episode with the housekeeper whose love potion is Chanel no. 5; Rose says she doesn't buy it because Dorothy uses it and never gets men. But surely they'd have recognised it when they smelled it if Dorothy uses it...

G is the 1st letter (and also other positions) of many St Olaf words. So: G for Scandinavia's most popular letter.

We're watching the episode where Blanche rear-ends guys in fancy cars to make their acquaintance, but damages Rose's car. She will really stab her friends in the back for a date.

@Blakeston exactly, too much interest in a local City Councillor candidate. Not to mention that she was a part of his campaign.

Gil's wife was out of town. At the beginning the other girls seem to believe Blanche's version but when Gil the liar says it's true, they turn against her, and so nastily it's hard to watch. First of all it takes 2 to tango and the *married* man should be held accountable. If my best friend slept with a politician or celebrity I'd want to know the details and gossip, not turn on him. The fact that Gil's popularity grows after sleeping with Blanche also contradicts the girls' anger as they blamed Blanche of costing him the election cos she can't help herself. But she would have won him the election, so what's their problem?!

In the episode where Blanche hires a Mercedes to attract men, one of the guys is actually going to take Dorothy out *later* that evening, and pick her up at 8. Blanche offers her the Mercedes as a gesture, and then calls the police to report it stolen. But - he's picking Dorothy up and driving his car and Dorothy is still at home for hours still, so Blanche reported her to the police much too early for her revenge scheme.

W is for the will that really really upset Kirsten.

In the episode when Rose is stressed about work, she's testing 2 light bulbs and she closes her eyes for a few seconds and both bulbs 💡 💡 go out within seconds of each other and when Rose opens her eyes they're both out and she doesn't know which went out first. She's upset, but surely she realises they essentially went out at the same time and are both of the same quality for the consumers.

U is for no underwear

I like the time Sophia disappears and Blanche calls Angelo to say She needs him - Sophia isn't home... And he turns up ready for a date...

N is for Non c'e pensare. Dorothy's attempt at Italian. It's also for Natural manure, which is the topic Blanche steered the conversation towards the 1st time Miles came over to the girls for dinner.

Absolutely

Same here, I've seen them all more than once, but no good with the names. Can we also get the episode number if you know it, or a brief brief reminder of the plot? Thanks so much. My most memorable Ben moment is "Collateral estoppel", I love it when the good guys win...

The law isn't black and white and Jack was extremely good at bending it to get a trial and ideally a conviction. That's his job. He messed it up with the Colombian stewardess but he paid for it, and in later years advised someone else against such shenanigans, so he learned the lesson. Besides he's only human, and humans get carried away, emotional and make mistakes, but I think that winning was his job. That's what the people of New York pay him for. I thought he was just the right amount of pushy.

There are numerous episodes in the various L&Os when the perp confesses to a priest and the priest can't/won't tell the authorities. If accepting the consequences is crucial to forgiveness, the priest is derelict in his duty by not making sure the perp is tried (and could be found not guilty). If the priest is complicit in the holding of evidence and that means the perp avoids the consequences, the priest is also to blame for the perp not being fully forgiven. I am not a Christian but I am familiar with the privilege of confession in both the church and the civil law in the USA, so the law allows religious ministers to obstruct justice, which as a rule is a crime, which is the threat the police/DA use in almost every episode to get people to talk.

I wonder if it is because prison sentence for a crime is also an attempt at rehabilitation, that's why they have parole hearings etc. If you are immediately rehabilitated and will not commit crimes again then you are kind of on the express lane to parole. But prison is also punishment and I agree that that component still needs to be a consequence of the crime. Otherwise everyone pretty much will find jesus or other acceptable deities to get out of prison. Personally am very sceptical about such revelations in any religion and since there's no proof she truly found jesus (unlike evidence used to prove her guilt) I'd be reluctant to let her off. As for the death penalty, as an opponent of it, I have a general issue with it regardless of the crime or finding jesus. But if one supports the death penalty, maybe it should really be kept for the unrepentant and unredeemable, which this girl is not. Or is she just fooling everyone? Perhaps that's where they were coming from?

J is for (New) Jersey; Dorothy can't even get thru to Jersey with MCI.

I think they decided on a change to 5 years as it makes sense, married at 18 for 32 years is 50. The 15 years was rubbish and they realised it after the fact.

I'm sure there are a number of other diseases that can be transfused and didn't or still don't have useful treatment or a cure. But I too thought hiv in this scene.

I had the same feeling. She cottoned on to their father driving just behind the barn and pretending they're in the wilderness. And maybe since she's blind she is off the hook.

D is for Dan and Morathy

Definitely a St Olaf think called Genöksenloken. This means Rose was older than her sisters. We know Holly is younger, but do we know about any other sisters?

Her aunt's name was Gretchen, the one Rose was supposed to give the eulogy for but couldn't get to the Bahamas because of the storm.
