  1. Oh, let's pick on them! What I love is how when confronted with a foreign place name, they changed it to something more English. My parents lived near the town of Livorno in Italy, the Brits call it Leghorn. That's just not trying. I've had a piece of Schichttorte way back when and thought it was pretty good. I'd never make it from scratch, any more than I'd make phyllo dough. I think they've tried to be pretty pan-European in the technicals, there was the Swedish princess cake, the Slovenian rolled thing last week, this week German.
  2. I'd rather eat a spoonful of applesauce than the gummi worms or whatever that last week's audience member got.
  3. When the car was moving, Carl was holding Judith. He left her on the seat when they stopped and he got out of the car. I still don't get why Aaron looks like the LL Bean catalog and his boyfriend doesn't. And the applesauce thing was supposed to convince us that he's so well fed that he can be picky?
  4. I remember James Taylor being in both The Raging Queen and The Antler Dance sketches. Two of the best that SNL ever did.
  5. That was Justin's sign language interpreter. If she is really the only interpreter they had, then what she did was amazing. When I taught a 3 hour class with two deaf guys, the school would send 2 interpreters and they'd switch every 30 minutes. It's hard work! The production crew did a magnificent job of keeping her out of the shots as well.
  6. I'm being obscure. I wouldn't come to here and not expect to hear explicit descriptions of what happened on The Walking Dead. Someone way upthread posted something spoilerish for the Downton Abbey episode that aired at the same time as this episode of TWD. Then, later someone else complained that it was spoiling to mention Buffy finding her mother dead. I didn't even have a chance to watch the DA episode, because I was watching this. But instead we're worried about ruining Buffy for somebody.
  7. I have lost hope..... And yet, some plot point is considered a spoiler, umpteen years after the last episode aired?
  8. She wasn't *that* hot! My take: Folowing the General Strike in 1926 (?) the Earl manages to fritter away all of Lavinia's money and they are forced to sell the Abbey to some up and coming factory owner, and Robert, Cora, Mary, George, and who ever else is left, move into the other house that they were going to move into before they got Lavinia's money. They are bitter and keep to themselves. Mary is also brittle. The new owners don't like the idea of living in an abbey that everyone always calls "Downtown" anyway, and rename the house Gosford Park. The End.
  9. I really liked this film. And anything that takes a swipe at comic book movies is all right by me. More Birdmen and fewer Ironman vs. Thor's Cousin.
  10. And what a breakfast! A glass of luke warm water and a hard boiled egg yolk. Hope he tipped big. Wasn't the sex tape name just implying that Santiago is frigid? I can see why she put her foot down, but why is that so incredibly risque?
  11. Is that what happened to Graham Norton? I thought it was just off temporarily. Having accidentally tuned in QI last night, I'd say it's not likely there's an American audience for it. We recognized all the comedians as what we think of as "the third person on the couch" on Graham Norton. The jokes weren't very funny and they seemed to laugh at each other more than necessary. What I have been watching is Million Dollar Critic with Giles Corrigan and it's pretty good.
  12. Maybe Benjamin, Helen and Michelle could go bring fashion to some tribe in Borneo. Somewhere internet-free where people could really use their special skills. Patricia, Justin and Fabio are lovely lovely people. Chris March seems to share my dislike for Dmitry.
  13. Yes, it was in this very thread. So, if it's OK to post spoilers for something broadcast the same night as this show, who cares about something that ran 10 years ago. The day can't come soon enough when people stop bringing up Buffy. The reason they're walking in the middle of the road is so that they can spot walkers coming out of the trees. Being in the middle of the tarmac, although hot, gives them distance and prevents the walkers from getting a drop on them.
  14. He has an event planning business. He's not fabulously wealthy, he just likes nice things. And, he's supposed to have already raised a son so presumably he knows about the diapers.
  15. No, I'm sure we are supposed to think that he was ID'ed by the Hun. I just like to bring up Dr. Clarkson's amazing powers of perception whenever possible.
  16. Well if Dr. Clarkson did the identification, almost anything could happen. I hope that Edith takes a flat/house in London, moves into it with Marigold, changes her name to something less silly, and that Bates and Anna move in to take care of them and they all live happily ever after murder-free and disappearance-free off screen. That leaves more time to devote to the really important issues like who Lady Mary can get married to and whether Daisy keeps learning history.
  17. Which is what Nancy said she did - used 10% setting and was making something pretty sweet.
  18. I know! I kept thinking, Kate could have made her babka! Which, she actually made in a tin and it didn't work well. Mary has the best positive reactions of anyone I've ever encountered. She's not always a cheerleader, but when she likes something, she gets that across magnificently. Richard's custard-filled donut and Luis' Bailey filled straw - her reaction was so funny.
  19. Speaking as an Army brat who lived in Kansas, it could have been Leavenworth!
  20. Apparently, she's too busy babysitting out of the shot. I pay attention.....
  21. James Monroe Iglehart (just won a Tony for playing the Genie in Aladdin) played Teen Angel in a production of Grease around here about 10 years ago, and brought the house down. He would be incredible!
  22. Since she was working with Fabio, I don't think so.
  23. Make that a camouflage suit with loafers and no socks, and a pinstriped button down shirt! Sanjia was robbed. Dmitry is a hack. Creativity is dead.
