  1. A family member and her husband, both UK citizens who live in England, had a two-year old placed with them for adoption. The child was removed from the home around 6 weeks old, and was with foster parents until she was two. So I can see why Catherine was afraid he'd go in the system; it can take time before a child can be placed with adoptive parents, and being in law enforcement, she'd likely know how it would work. Just finished Series 2, which I liked every bit as much as Series 1.
  2. I’ve always watched Disney/Pixar etc. movies whether I’ve had kids/grandkids or not, sometimes at the theatre and sometimes at home. Have seen a few more with my granddaughter than I did before, though.
  3. He is awesome in this show and in Grantchester. Very different roles, and yet so well done. I really liked Unforgotten, as well. And John/Moseley - that's where I recognized him from! I kept thinking how familiar he seemed! I'm 3 episodes in on Series 2 - so trying not to read spoilers here. It is so good - and about to disappear from Netflix. It says available until March 16, so I'm anxious to finish it.
  4. Update, I did not win the ticket lottery for Williamsburg. A bit disappointed, but it won't put me off watching. With the Colonial Williamsburg's museum expansion opening soon, I'm sure some of their collections may be part of the background information.
  5. I knew the William & Mary answer, and I've lived in Nebraska, so two out of three for me. I've been to Windsor, so Eton came to mind immediately. Also there's the fab English pudding (dessert) called Eton mess - so good! Strawberries, meringues, cream. Also knew stein. FJ was a total miss for me - I couldn't think of anything to guess!
  6. Miranda Hart is in the new Emma movie! Just saw a trailer featuring her character, Miss Bates!
  7. I’m liking this season a lot. Who played the rock star in the episode? He was pretty good.
  8. The Jeopardy! Facebook page just posted a one-year update from Alex. It's worth watching.
  9. I don’t know where to post this. There’s an ad for the WWF regarding climate change and polar bear habitat. It’s lovely but oh, so sad. It’s the one with the “Say something” song.
  10. Week 25: 4/5 YTD: 65/125 7* Better week for me.
  11. There was a movie I’d seen called Copperhead, released maybe 6 or 7 years ago. It was about anti-war Northerners, so that helped with FJ. I knew prairie schooner, barb, and Calamity Jane.
  12. Yes, I read somewhere that Alex had a cold during this week’s taping, but is doing fine now. Not sorry to have a new champ. Mackenzie had that sway, and her voice had a flat intonation that I found annoying. Really liked the woman in the middle, though.
  13. We had a discussion here not too long ago about Spoon River Anthology, written by Edgar Lee Masters. Disappointed it was a TS.
  14. I worked at Burger King in about 1975 - 1976 or thereabouts. I remember the jingle very well!
  15. S.W.A.T. had a story line with one of the female team members entering into a poly relationship with an engaged couple. It didn't work out, but it was an interesting story over several episodes. Yes, if the writers are pushing the will they/won't they have a baby for Darlene and Ben, they need to back it up and just stop. I agree.
  16. NY Times site won't let me read unless I subscribe. ☹️ The information on the other site was very interesting. Bothered me a bit that they used the phrase, "real parents" to refer to the biological parents. My adoptive parents are my real parents. I thought I'd seen some of the segments before, but they're still informative. I was a bit surprised that John Turturro's didn't mention his brother Nicholas.
  17. I was hoping the "I am Murtagh" moment would turn in to a "I am Spartacus" moment, and all three would claim to be Murtagh. I was grossed out by the autopsy-in-progress body. Claire already figured out that he had a burst appendix, and subsequent "medical" treatment meant he would die. According to wiki, the first successful surgery was in 1759, so likely that knowledge wouldn't have spread to the colonies yet, but Claire could have performed an appendectomy if the man had come to see her sooner. In Season 4, Claire used her medical expertise to help while at the theatre(?) but I don't recall what the problem was. What year are we in? Gov. Tryon served in NC from 1765-1771. And yes, Bonnet can die any time now. A slow, lingering, horrible death preferably.
  18. Turns out there is a Bucksnort, in Tennessee, but not Nebraska. I googled and found a mention.
  19. Week 24: 2/5 0 asterisk YTD: 61/120 7*
  20. I just read that Yellowstone has been renewed for Season 4. That’s all I’ve heard for now.
  21. I very rarely watched TBBT, and even I appreciated the cafeteria shot! Aw, Missy. Totally agree with this!
  22. I knew all those except Chile. I’ve seen Nelson’s HMS Victory in Portsmouth, England. I guessed Lebanon for FJ; that’s one for me this week.
