Well, just finished the finale and I'm firmly Team Jacoby - a lot of this sh*t needed shoveling.

I'm not as well-watched as many of you, but I must give a plug for the Nazimova Camille that's airing tonight. Hands down, it features the most memorable set design I've ever seen. It's sort of an ominous, early Art Deco hobbit hole. I didn't love the movie, but the unique look has always stuck with me. Oh yeah, and it features a guy called Rudolph who may have some fans here. :)

Mike Rinder commented on his blog today that the land is already sold and that Liz and her family no longer live there. :(

That seems to be the million dollar question. I don't think anyone has a definitive answer right now. There is speculation that he didn't like the way he was portrayed by Louis Theroux in My Scientology Movie. It's also still unclear why his wife, Monique, dropped her legal suit against the "church." Her former lawyers suspect the Rathbuns received a payoff from $cientology and have taken the issue to court. Tony's articles on Marty may help fill in the blanks.

Jess just keeps becoming more exasperating. In what world is it cutesy to mess around with someone's livelihood? How on earth does she keep her own business above water when she can't control these impulsive "great" ideas? For real!

The wall I'm concerned about is the one at Winterfell. Who's going to prevent it from crumbling now that Littlefinger isn't there to hold it up?

I found the perfect photo for the label for Kody Skunk. Don't the fumes just emanate through the screen? To bring things back to topic, we also need a strain for Robyn. This picture of her is too good to waste.

I'm dying over here.

How much do you want to bet that Kody secretly wishes he could give that pendant to 3 of the 4 wives?

You guys really know how to have a good time. :) Be Lazy Be Entitled Be Manipulative Be Hypocritical

From the Vicar of Dibley: "No one on earth lives forever." "Except Bruce Forsyth." RIP, sir.

That's what I thought, too, but according to the experts over at Tony's site it's a different ranch. And now I'm even more pissed off that TWO of those places ever existed.

I had to laugh when Kevin looked back and she'd removed her helmet to reveal four feet of flowing hair. Subtle, show, subtle.

I didn't go look at what the "ladies" were questioning, but if Meri really wanted to help her "Canadian peeps" she'd hold the event somewhere like Bellingham. It's not exactly a quick jaunt for Canadians to drive all the way to Everett, but if they are willing to do that much then it's no big deal to continue to Seattle. Depending on the time of day, getting north to Everett from Seattle can also be a hassle. It sounds like she's trying to have it both ways and tap into both the Seattle-area and B.C. customers without being super convenient for either group.

Au contraire, wee Tom. There is only one Maverick.

Similarly, this newest episode was supposed to take place at the end of the summer but everyone was all bundled up with springtime foliage in the background! Ah well, I'm still happy that the show is back, even with these minor annoyances (see also: Jess and Grandma).

No clue, but this week's randoms looked like they'd bathed recently and they weren't assaulting their angry armpit rashes, so....yay? Funny, I had almost the same thought but in reverse - while studying his face during that long shot I realized I couldn't see much of Rosemary.

Color me shocked. If she chose to sell them, those look like something people would actually want to buy!

I always assumed that it was the Gulf War (1991-ish) and that Dorothy and Rose just couldn't keep track of Blanche's many, many men. But yeah, IMO it's definitely not a strong episode. Which reminds me of Dorothy's quote alluding to one of my favorite movies: "These aren't the best years of your life. They're the last years of your life!"

IIRC, they dish a little more dirt in the book than they ever did in the show. Nothing earth-shattering, but they weren't yet fully whitewashing their perfect polygamy dream world and allowed some of the cracks in the facade to show. So if you're interested in the family and want those details, it's a quick and non-taxing read. I checked it out from the library so they got no money from me - that's my #why.

Just to clarify a bit further, Ancestry essentially provides two services. The first is access to actual official records, such as censuses, birth, marriage, and death records, immigration data, military records, etc. While there can be errors in these records if something was written down incorrectly, I've found them to be generally quite reliable. The second main function Ancestry serves is to provide a platform for building your own family tree. This is where people can enter whatever they want and the quality is questionable. If I wanted to I could create a tree saying that JFK is my father, and Rudolph Valentino was his father, and Billy the Kid was his father, and if the tree is made public that information will pop up for anyone who searches for any of those three individuals. Occasionally I will look at other members' trees if I hit a brick wall, but only as a starting point to do my own research to confirm that what they're saying is true. I'm a very very amateur genealogist and I still have a soft spot for Ancestry. It can be a useful tool but you have to know how to use it. And to get back to the topic, I don't think I've ever seen an Ancestry ad that wasn't annoying! Who the heck says, "Holy crow?"

Sister Wives: Because Misery Loves Company

This! He looks like he's emulating his bonus-mom, Meri.

I don't know what it says about me, but the biggest question I took away from this episode is why does Andy have a Rolex?

Uncle Angelo has passed away. :(
