  1. PBS article: Everything We Know About The Marlow Murder Club Season 2
  2. Week 11: 5/5 + 1 *. Bringing assorted beignets from the (imaginary) French bakery.
  3. When Cecily's dog Chase came home without Cecily, why didn't they ask the dog to find Cecily? Many dogs would understand and follow Cecily's scent.
  4. The "missing character" issue is not unique to this episode. Maybe there should be a thread for the staffing and economics of the show?

    Leonardo Da Vinci

    I never studied art history, but as I understand it, Leonardo tried a lot of original techniques. Some worked (i.e. the paintings lasted) but some did not.

    Leonardo Da Vinci

    So am I. When I was about 11, I read a biography of Leonardo. I'm left handed so I wrote the book report in mirror writing, the way he wrote his notebooks. My teacher was annoyed; maybe she didn't know how to read it.
  7. Cocaine? I thought it was her travel sweets and the powdered sugar.
  8. She was known as "Lemonade Lucy."
  9. Week 10: 3/5 + 1 * YTD: 33/50 + 6 *
  10. I remembered November 1 is All Saints' Day because once I was in Europe at that time, and every place I wanted to see was closed that day. Luckily the trains were running and I had a rail pass, so it was all scenery day.
  11. Presumably you mean Mandy's brother. I'd be annoyed at the writers for giving Mandy a name so similar to Missy and Mary, if I had enough annoyance left over from other situations.
  12. Someone once pointed out that the world's most common first name is Mohammed, and the most common last (family) name is Wang, so shouldn't the most common name be Mohammed Wang?
  13. Week 9: 4/5. Bringing baba ganoush and fresh pita.
  14. A seemingly simple Final Jeopardy question stumped all three contestants in 1984 It was Alex Trebek's second day on the job.
  15. Oliver Wolf is based on Oliver Sacks (whose middle name was Wolf), a British neurologist who practiced in Manhattan, rode a motorcycle, had face blindness, and swam in the water near his home.
