  1. IIRC, there was a writers' strike while House was in production. A reporter asked Hugh Laurie if he supported the writers. He said something like: "Absolutely. Without the writers, we couldn't ... uh ..." (He is very articulate, so this was intentional.)

  2. In part 1 of the second episode, they showed a flashback to when his wife and daughter were alive. I thought we would understand why after part 2, but I don't.  Can anyone explain?

  3. When Penny broke Howard's nose, she was justified in being angry with him.

    When Penny dislocated her shoulder, she had a gentle moment with Sheldon who was helping her put a shirt on.  "Does that feel like an arm?"  "No."  "Then maybe you should let it go."  If that had been Howard, she would have reacted very differently.

  4. If Morse was playing Russian roulette, it might have been a bit like a semi-popular decision-making technique:  Flip a coin.  Not to do what the coin says, but to see how you feel about that option.  If Morse fired and got an empty chamber, it might have helped him clarify whether he really wanted to continue living.

    At the end, looking into the rear-view mirrors, did older Morse seem to have darker eyes than younger Morse?

  5. The various Morse series have many characters with seemingly unusual names: Thursday, Strange, Box, Trulove, Fancy, et al. Presumably Colin Dexter started this trend in his novels, but I wonder why.

    Will you be picking up the heirloom tomatoes from the Farmers' Market as seen on Thursday's show?

    Yes.  Glad that Jeopardy is a time travel show.  My real garden does not have ripe tomatoes yet.  Good luck with yours.

  7. I wish the interviews were more often relevant to the game.  If a contestant is a professor or student, I'd like to know what their field is, because it can affect how well they do in certain categories.  Most of the "how I met my spouse" and "what I did on vacation" stories are pretty dull, IMO.

    Is there a summary of the Blenheim Vale case somewhere, for those of us who don't have time to search for the relevant episodes and rewatch them?  adTHANKSvance!

    Am I the only one sick of Blenheim Vale!  End already!

    The next episode is the finale, so you'll get your wish.  But it sounded as if knowing something about Blenheim Vale will help us understand the finale.  Fortunately I found this:
