  1. I just assumed it was a nod to the actress' heritage.
  2. Will Gregory soon start feeling left out now that Jacob and Melissa are pals and have so much in common? He would have a hard time admitting that he missed Jacob. Guess he'll gravitate to the other odd man out, Mr. Johnson.
  3. This particular episode, to me, seemed to be written for a different audience. That schtick of overhearing and then misinterpreting a conversation is incredibly stale. Are they trying to appeal to people who are so young they haven't haven't seen much of it in their lifetime or to people who pine for the good old days of "I Love Lucy"? I hope this show can sustain its humor and avoid the pitfalls of other network shows that overstay their entertainment value. What I appreciate about some of the shows I've seen coming from the UK, AU, and NZ is that they're fairly quick--sometimes too quick--to pull their shows after a couple of seasons. Leave them wanting more, not asking, "Why is this show still on?" I like the twist of Pete's wife showing up. She's nearly 40 years older than he is; she could start try bossing him around like he's her son, not her ex, which would really throw him off.
  4. I give Barbara and Melissa's cynicism a pass. We've only known Janine and the gang a few years. These two women have known Abbott for at least 7 times that many years.
  5. I was thinking about Isaac and Nigel's wedding vows: "Till sucking off do us part"??
  6. Of COURSE Mr. Johnson is a Mormon.
  7. What I find distracting is Jake's haircut.
  8. Hetty's portrait, painted on the wall, is behind the mirror. Isacc telling an anecdote about James Madison's hunting print being too high to stare at for the "entire burn of a tallow candle". Pete: Ah, you guys did not have a lot do to back then, huh? Isaac: Other than invent democracy? Sass clears his throat. Isaac: Amongst Europeans.
  9. It's feasible that there could be a tunnel between two houses. Maybe it was used in the Underground Railroad. Maybe the speakeasy created the tunnel, as some speakeasies did. Maybe the light was an alien spaceship that took Flower away to study a human, not realizing she was a ghost. They would soon realize that she was not a good sample, and return her. No one would believe her story and she would wonder if her memory was merely a drug flashback. Absurd, but this is a TV show about ghosts.
  10. I waited for the entire two episodes for the details of Janine's marriage. It never came. It's not like me to catch things like this.
  11. Did you learn the Palmer Method? You had to write moving your entire arm, not just with your fingers as normal people do. Such a stupid waste of time.
  12. There's a whole lot of rotten and shallow going on with the characters on this show. Except for those under age 30, some of the staff, and Peggy, I have little respect for most of these people and find myself regretting that most will be dead before they can see World War I, the crash of '29, and the Great Depression whittle away so mch of their fortunes, not to mention the north-creeping urban population and retail businesses that will take over their neighborhoods. This show provides a good look at just how fleeting power, acquisitions, fortunes, relationships, etc., are. The elite of the Gilded Age, if able to look back at their lives over 140 years ago, would probably shake their heads at just how small and petty their lives were, as I do watching this show. For this reason, the putting life into perspective and the history, I enjoy watching this show. Now, to the episode. When Agnes made the comment about friendships being heriditary, I got a chuckle out of Marian's very subtle near-eyeroll. She just sort of deadpanned a "Kill me now" look across the table. Marian's gotten pretty feisty. I was surprised to hear her talking to the servants about looking for other jobs and also at her standing up to Agnes so much. Of course, considering her financial situation, I think much credit has to go to Agatha for allowing Marian a streak of independence, much as Agnes doesn't like it. I have had a problem throughout this series with two of the characters. Charles, Aurora Fane's husband, looks like he should be playing her son, not her husband, and Oscar looks like he should be Agnes and Ada's brother, not son. Every time I see each character, my mind has to do a reset and either add or subtract years to or from them.
  13. I would think that vessel sinks might not be a good thing if you're short.
  14. https://www.techradar247.com/2023/07/26/my-life-is-murder-season-4-release-date/ The article has some confusing sentences, I think, like seemingly talking about a main Season 1 character as not returning in Season 4. I'd like to see the Harry character return. I liked the way he and Alexa fake-flirted with each other.
  15. Hanoi Billy was supposedly a wildlife photographer in Thailand, but he'd been working at an elephant sanctuary when they first met. He doesn't want to move out to the "sticks", which I would think would bring him a lot closer to wildlife than the city would. And now he's a "teacher". I think the boy is shiftless.
