    Tbh, I've been hate-watching this show for several seasons now... most seasons... I'm not proud of it, but here we are.

    And I hate pretty much all the characters equally, with the exception of Louise (blink if you need us to get you out, hon!)

    All of this, and is it just me, or does Louise seem tired of it all now that the non-honeymoon is over?

    I've seen it. She whinnies the name Native.  WHINNIES!!  "Na a a a a a tive"

    Egads.  I must have muted it just in time to have missed that. She's one obnoxious broad.  Is she half horse because she doesn't want to smell like a horse?

    There’s also one by a company called Native who’s commercial with a woman who’s half some type of horse creature airs constantly on Hulu.  I can’t wait until these all go away. 

    I've seen that one and it is so obnoxious.  Horsewoman has such a loud voice and the way she talks with her mouth nearly looking like she's having a stroke (all lopsided and crooked) is so annoying!

    Erika Christensen talks a bit about Will / Angie.

    Although Angie is not my favorite character (and I don't compare to the books because I've not read them), I must say that Erika looks really nice in this interview!  Very pretty with great hair and makeup, kind of glammed up a bit from her usual scenes in the show, but natural with a nice personality.

  5. Yes, it's nice to know Sly Stallone will be with us for a second season, at least!  I'm happy that the show didn't mysteriously get cancelled with some bullshit cover story for why.  Filming in Atlanta, Georgia instead of Oklahoma though!

  6. I'm only chiming in because Marcus in Amsterdam was one of, if not the, best episodes of S2.  Just beautiful all around.  It's a pity they would cut out the cat on repeat showing.  Cat Lives Matter -- All 9 of Them!

    I couldn't find a definitive answer within 5 minutes and refused to devote any more of my life to the question.   The kid in one of the commercials is addressed as Santiago and her actual son's name is Santiago.  

    So it was Take Your Child to Work Day!

    Yes, and it looks stupid, IMO. Saw an Instagram post that demonstrated it... a "new way to style" your outfit... like a slob???

    I didn't know it was called the French tuck until I read it here.  Is this supposed to be an insult to the fine folks in France?  It's the stupidest fashion "statement" that's come along in ages!  Right up there with the britches below the butt (in boys and menswear) look that came out so long ago.

    Friday's (12/1) "The Day Alissa Disappeared" episode.

    Observation: 

    • Andrea is so annoying. Can't stand her interviewing skills. Too many redundant or leading questions. She needs more distance and less bias like Keith Morrison possesses. 
    • The father definitely suffers from paranoia and has control issues. I suspect he has more extensive mental health issues and maybe personality disorders.  I theorize that he probably killed her and then convinced himself she ran away, using the old note.  It seemed like he had warring impressions of her. As if a part of him saw her as his true daughter and cared about her, but the darker side of him had a sexual attraction to her (perhaps she reminded him of her mother) and at the same time was disgusted by her sexuality. He definitely exhibited some misogynist attitudes. 
    • While I think odds are he did it, I don't think there was enough legal evidence to convict him, especially without a body to prove she was even dead. The first prosecutor who didn't want to bring it to trial was probably keen enough to realize this. The second one who did likely did so out of public pressure from the sister's podcast going viral. Provided double jeopardy doesn't apply (my legal studies son says it probably doesn't) then the judge was correct to dismiss the case at that point. I'm assuming if more evidence is discovered, it could be brought to trial again with a higher confidence of conviction. Would be nice if Dateline spent a few seconds to clarify this rather than wasting it on showing Andrea ask repetitive questions. Although there really needed to be better detective work and more interviews in the early days of her disappearance to acquire more evidence than what they had. 

    Questions to ponder:

    • Why did Sarah not participate in the Dateline show/do an interview if she was such a public voice for the case?
    • Was Sarah around when the convenient store phone call came in/did she also overhear it?  (Since there is a phone record of the call, I'm thinking it was a wrong number and he convinced himself it was Alissa.)
    • How much did Alissa's biological dad see her? Was surprised when he popped up since he signed off rights. Felt like there was more to the story there.
    • What about Mike's first wife/the mother of his sons? If she was still living, what was her impression of him?
    • Did the 3rd grade teacher sort of drop the ball on Alissa's statement about having sex with her dad? I know she [Alissa] walked it back, but still felt like a guidance counselor or someone should have followed up on that/interviewed her more extensively about the comment, especially given her mother had died (just the year before?) and she was being raised by her stepfather. 

    Thanks for including the date and episode title.  Was this airing a rerun. The case sounds familiar and I think I've seen it before, or was it on 20/20 and this is new?

    Most importantly, did Andrea make any interesting fashion statements?

    Lexus seems to have ditched the big red bow on the roof for cute dogs. Probably taking a cue from Subaru. The thing about Subaru is that they have a program to donate money to help animals.

    Yes they do; Subaru is affiliated with the ASPCA, you know, that highly-rated charity that gets a lot of hate here because people don't like their commercials with the sad animals.  (I love ASPCA and have donated to them for years.)

    Oh, one more thing on Part of the Plan: I was surprised Dateline left in the part where the lead investigator said he has always refused doing "Dateline" type shows before, because he does not believe murder should be entertainment. He said he was only doing this one episode because he fears the wife will convince the young boys that she wasn't part of the murder plan, and he wants it out there that this is categorically not true.

    Okay, I have to respect the guy. ...But, I mean, I am still watching my murder stories. 😬

    And Keith Morrison's gonna keep on interviewing and hosting murder shows!

    I was surprised with the John Travolta Santa commercial last night.  I hadn't seen anything about it.  I actually whooped when Donna Pescow showed up.  This morning I've seen abbreviated versions of it on the computer but it's just not the same without the whole build-up.  I hope they keep showing the longer version.  It's so good!

     

    I like it too and I don't even like John Travolta anymore.

    These have been on for some time for various products: the “Brand Power” commercials with a spokesperson in front of shelves full of the same product, currently some variety of Dawn. Are they trying to make it look like some sort of Consumer Reports-type reporting vs an ad? At first I thought that Brand Power was a consolidator of sorts to offer smaller advertisers bulk prices, but don’t think Procter & Gamble benefit from that.  

    The spokesperson is a blonde woman?  I think it's like an ad within an ad type of thing where they're pretending to recommend the best brand.  I think because it's called Brand Power that they are trying to counteract the consumers' purchases of the store brand or competitors.  Like, don't buy just any old dish soap, buy Dawn!  So it's really a commercial for Proctor and Gamble's Dawn dishwashing soap.

    I sometimes buy the mixed bag so I can feel self righteous because I give away the nasty ones that I don't like and it has the added bonus of meaning I didn't eat the whole bag.  Choco-logic.

    Nasty chocolate?  There's no such thing! 😄🍫

    Then probably giving it all away to good causes.  Bless her heart.

    I haven't seen Dolly's Cracker Barrel commercial, but I think she likes to support down home country stuff, so that makes sense.  She probably did it as a hoot, or as a favor to someone, and yes, giving the proceeds to charity.
