Orcinus orca

Plausible. There is a house going up two doors from me that's been under construction for at least six months and isn't anywhere near complete.

It was termed manic-depression back then. And, yes, it was a psychiatric diagnosis.

Yes, this one was hard to take. Not too many smiles or feel-good moments. I wonder if Cyril will return with news that Lucille wants a divorce or something. Although I do not see any chemistry between him and Rosalind. More like siblings.

A new episode today!

Joan would be happy to know that Hallmark already has a movie called Polar Opposites. Not a Christmas one but equally as absurd as Sam's story.

Well, if she does it must have mighty flexible hours. She's always bebopping around the country or off buying land for some grandiose scheme that will never pan out.

Table for two. I saw nothing between them at all.

That might have been a really important gesture back then. Knowing now that he did something so significant might make her rethink things. We can't look at it through the lens of life in 2025 - 500 years ago that might have been tantamount to a marriage proposal.

My Catholic aunt refused to attend her son's wedding to a (horrors) protestant. And that was in the US. Oddly enough his Catholic grandmother was all in, even ironed his shirt for the ceremony. For my family as well. Nice way to wind up the busy day.

After all of these years, that still brings tears to my eyes.

It did seem out of character to me as well. She has always been so "tough as nails" in all situations. As a retired ER nurse I saw some pretty awful things but, when the chips are down, you have to step up no matter what. But I guess everyone has a tipping point; I did keep thinking she would snap out of it, though.

No, it has been renewed for 2026.

Those creepy evangelicals surrounding and shouting at that child made me cringe and swear in equal measure. And then her own mother turned her back. Sadly, there are so many situations where both parents abandon their female children to the horrors of "god's will". All of those poor girls in polygamist slavery in the US with no help unless they can somehow run away. I don't see any chemistry between Cyril and Lucille. He's more like a loving older brother in my estimation.

And it should have been left at that. Anything further dishonors Garrison and ignores his pain. It becomes "all about them".

They don't need to act like he never existed. But how about a message at the beginning of the season saying that Garrison's death has deeply affected the family and will not be discussed on the air to allow the family privacy and time to grieve? Then add a message about how to reach a suicide hotline. You cannot tell me that filming this is not capitalizing on the tragedy. People will tune in just to see how it is handled, a big boon to their advertisers. Money is the bottom line, always has been. Disgusting.
