I have two Asian nieces and three Asian great-nieces and I absolutely adore Jee!

I watched the episode a second time tonight, so that Mom could catch up. I noticed something odd this time through, in the fictional timeline. Melissa was supposed to have called the doctor for help on the downstairs phone, because the phone cord in her upstairs bedroom had been pulled from the wall by the murderer. Then she goes upstairs to the bedroom after the call and is murdered. Why did Pünd (or maybe it was Chubb) specify that she couldn't have made the call from upstairs because of the phone cord? It's out of order - the murderer would have yanked the cord out of the wall after the call to the doctor - and it seems extraneous. So I wonder if it's a hidden clue. Or a red herring.

I wonder if her law license is in the name of Madeline Matlock - as her maiden name. Or did her grandson say something about choosing the name Matlock for her? I totally agree about going to the prison on the morning of the trial - absurd!

First episode of season eight -- Bobby steps out of the shower....

I'm not sure if this belongs in Speculation or here, but . . . . I've assumed that their boundaries are roughly circular, centered on the site of one's death. So, do all of the ghosts have the same boundaries? For example, Hetty died in the house, and Flower died out in the woods. Could Flower go farther away from the house in the direction of her death site than Hetty could?

Week twenty-one: one of five without the asterisk. I'm blaming my performance on the nasty, nasty cold that I have.

Week twenty: three of five - all of the non-asterisks!

Week nineteen: one. Just one and not even an asterisk. I'm blaming the cold for slowing my brain to a crawl. On Friday, I yelled "it's that guy that created the mobile in the Pittsburgh Airport!" I'm making a big pot of pasta fajioli, with cheese tortellini for the pasta. I need heat, veg, and carbs!

Week eighteen: four of five. On Friday, I had no clue, so I guessed the Danube. Aren't there a lot of capitols on the Danube? No Pop Tarts! I hate Pop Tarts!!

Week seventeen: four of five without the asterisk. I said Peter Rabbit, too.

This American knows Davina McCall from an episode of the British radio comedy Cabin Pressure. She wasn't a guest star; she was used as an example of a "person who isn't evil but has an evil-sounding name". Imagine her name said in a dripping-with-evil, moustache-twirling voice by Roger Allam, the original Inspector Javert from Les Miserables in the West End of London. Maybe you just had to be there....

Week fifteen: three of five, no asterisks. I think my original response got eaten by the update. Week sixteen: three of five. I seem to be in a rut. I've been under the weather for a week or more, but today I had enough energy to make what my family calls Chinese penicillin - egg drop soup with loads of onion, garlic, and ginger, with mini-wontons. I'm feeling better already! I'll bring a batch when I'm no longer hacking and coughing up a lung.

Week fourteen: two of five with no asterisks. I'll bet the original message got eaten by the update.

Week fifteen: three of five with no asterisk. I'll bring hash brown casserole; I'm feeling rather funereal with the loss of Saber.

Week twelve: four of five, with one asterisk. I missed Oxford, even though I've been there twice! Week thirteen: five of five! I've been out of pocket, what with celebrating Mom's 100th birthday a few weeks ago. We had a wonderful time with the whole family, down to the great-grandchildren. I'd offer some birthday cake, but we didn't have one. Mom likes strawberry shortcake or lemon meringue pie for her birthdays; this year was strawberry shortcake!
