  1. Hello people. I am here to apologize. Now that I have found this show and enjoyed it, that means it will likely not be renewed. Sorry in advance. 😉

    (Just in case it confuses anyone - I have not read anything saying whether or not it was renewed. I am just referencing my own luck with shows and suggesting that I am a jinx.)

    I was trying to figure out if Gregory and Janine would have to report something as mandatory reporters for Alex. 
     

    I also hope Janine sticks with the district so she can make PSE changes. I know it feels less personal but the reach and potential for impact is so much higher. 

    I guess it could be different in different states, but in Virginia, CPS leaves "educational neglect" to the schools to deal with. I've had some pretty crazy cases related to kids never having been in school and they wouldn't take them. We do have more protocols in place to attempt to intervene and more supports (social worker, attendance teams, central office attendance officers) before going to court, and I think it rarely goes to court. And 10 absences is NOTHING compared to some students. If kids were retained for that, it'd be a huge percentage of our population, unfortunately. Usually attendance issues in elementary school are parent-related and in high school are more student-related. You do occasionally have cases like this where the parent/guardian just listens to the child and doesn't understand the ramifications of missing school.

    That was quite the episode!!  I  know there are a lot more details to come in Season 3; however, in the meantime, was that the Landry house in 2024 where Jacob and Kat went?  It sure looked different to me, and who was the kid who came out and didn't even bat an eye at Jacob?  

    Based on the cars out front (mostly the more modern Volvo SUV), I'm assuming it was the 2024 Landry house, yes. And the kid coming out of the house was young Jacob. Adult Jacob was seeing a memory of himself coming out of the house when he was younger with his baseball glove and ball, happy.

    Okay,  I must have missed something because when did Colton jump?  Forwards or backwards?  

    Also, I thought Kat talking to Thomas was a dream, like when Del talks to Colton.  Because when Jacob beached up, Thomas was gone.

    Did you think the episode ended when Jacob came out of the pond in the current time? If so, you stopped watching too early. There was a little more.

    After reading a new interview just now with the writers, where they insist that they stick to the rules that they created, I think that scene with child Colton in the past (it looked like the past) must have been a similar situation as Jacob where he was from a more recent present and accidentally went to the past as a child. But like @DMK, why didn't he think of the possibility that Jacob might have disappeared through the pond into the past?

    Abbott doesn't seem to have a school nurse, either. I am not sure how they can make an episode about that without it becoming a horror show, but if anyone can do it, it's these people. 

    Do we know if they have a health room aide at least? I work in a large school district that is considered to have a lot of resources. But the school nurses come from the county health department and are assigned to a million schools and aren't in one building full time, so these health room aides are there.

  6. I took Kat finding the clothing to be confirmation that her Jacob really did end up there, in that time. Not as something to be alarmed by. Though I assumed Jacob was the one who buried his clothes to hide his secret, and considering how young he was originally, it would explain why they weren't buried well and deeper. However, that should also mean that the clothing should have been discovered way before now considering the farming they do every year.

    Possibly? Probably? There is such nuance between the 2! I’ve looked at charts and sometimes I can’t explain what service falls under which category

    An IEP (special education) is for students with disabilities who require specialized instruction of some sort. The criteria for having a disability related to special education is generally more stringent than it is for a 504. A 504 is meant to level the "playing field" or helping students to access their instruction by providing accommodations to individuals with disabilities/impairments. Usually, direct services have only been part of special education and not a 504. However, schools seem to be moving to allowing them on 504s, likely due to parent pressure (through legal means or otherwise). Students with the same disability might show varying levels of need, so one may need special education while another student only needs a 504.

    IEPs usually also include accommodations. 504s generally do not include specialized instruction, otherwise you probably should consider the student for special education.

    Ex. of accommodation related to a situation like the student on the show - providing videos with closed captioning or other technology, giving written directions, etc.

    Ex. of specialized instruction - instruction in how to communicate using ASL

    So was the guy in the coffee shop Jacob or some sort of relative of Jacob? I thought the aged up picture that Cat had someone do looked like him. 

    I thought they looked similar also. Though the Jacob picture is supposed to be of a 30 something-year-old, not an 18-19 year-old. I do wonder if the similar means something, even if they aren't the same person.

    My only thought/question about the stainless steel hot tub is that isn't it going to be too hot to get in during the summer?  Won't that metal heat up (I'm talking about the area around the hot tub - obviously the temperature inside can be regulated)?  Otherwise I liked this house and I also liked the first house - either of them would have been lovely.

    Maybe they will just cannonball in over the edge.

    I had the EXACT same thought and wondered if I was missing something. I called my parents after confirming that they'd watched the episode, saying I had a possibly dumb question. Then I brought up exactly what you did.

    I liked Round and Round, too, and will rewatch.  Didn't the guy correct the girl's Tom Cruise reference? I couldn't keep up! 

    I'm rewatching. I took it to mean that he didn't recognize Palm Springs, so she started describing another movie (the Tom Cruise one) and didn't know the name, and he guessed Maverick as a Tom Cruise movie. After googling on my part, it looks like Tom Cruise was in a time loop movie Edge of Tomorrow, which is probably what she was thinking of. Since he didn't get either of those references, she gave Groundhog Day. I don't think she was saying that Tom Cruise was in Palm Springs like others thought. That's just my take, though.

  11. They did show the years briefly closer to the beginning of Christmas on Cherry Lane. But it was very quick and random. I actually stopped to rewind because I missed a little when they flashed the years on the screen. I haven't finished the movie yet because I started it very late and stopped it. Debating if I should finish based on comments here. None of the connections had started to be made yet at the point I stopped.

    I’m halfway through Christmas in Noting Hill and enjoying it so far. But, my God, the sister’s vocal fry is driving me nuts. 

    I think the actress playing the sister isn't actually American. She must have sadly learned from watching/listening to someone else talk that way. The father isn't American either, and it sounded like he had taken on some random southern accent as opposed to mid-western. I still mostly enjoyed the movie.

    Yes to all of this!  I usually don't try to apply real-world logic to Hallmark movies, but after this one, I actually wondered if Jack could steal his SSN the way criminals steal them from dead people!  Then his real identify & his false one would be the same - how convenient! 

    Good point. I didn't think of stealing his own identity. I thought of using his own and how the ages wouldn't match up in the year 2023. But if they still do some falsifying of documents, he can be himself but have the details match better.

    There was a movie a couple years ago that had the same twist. A woman worked at a museum made of some historical guys house, and the guy had disappeared at some point and no one knew why. Turns out he was transported to present time and never went back cause of the woman he met.

    Biltmore Christmas was better though.

    Biltmore Christmas was way better. 

    I think I'm the only one who can easily handwave lack of papers in the present time. In addition to Hallmark, I watch a lot of mystery shows (mostly European ones). There's a such thing as criminals who can create documents for fake identities. Easy peasy. 😆

    This long weekend was probably the best slate of Hallmark movies I've seen in a while, as it introduced me to several I would gladly watch again. Thursday's Catch Me If You Claus, Friday's Holiday Road and tonight's A Biltmore Christmas were widely divergent in tone and storyline from each other, and all exceeded expectations in set-up, writing and performances. I'm already thinking about friends and family members to whom I will recommend each of these, based on the person's tastes and preferences in the types of films they enjoy.

    I actually liked even more, some unexpectedly. I liked Letters to Santa like I mentioned earlier, though not as much as some of the others. And no one has mentioned it, but I also liked Christmas at Notting Hill. I don't think I realized that it was one directed by Ali Liebert. It wasn't necessarily unique, but it was enjoyable. 

    I already knew that I was looking forward to later movies after reading the descriptions, as the earlier airing ones didn't sound good. But a few of these were additional surprises. I finally have some to save on my DVR.

    I’m watching it right now and I was thinking the same thing ( it seeing like ban HM&M movie). Right now I’m struggling with it, but I’ll stick with it based on the positive reviews so far here.

    I found that I liked the second half of Letters to Santa more than the first, so hopefully you do end up enjoying it. I really liked the male lead. Hopefully he sticks around Hallmark for some other movies.

    So upload testimonies are not admissable, because they are property of this corporation, but stolen e-mails, that are also property of this corporation, are totally admissable?

    Lawyer ex-girlfriend said the e-mails were provided by a current company whistleblower. So she didn't know they were stolen, and I guess as of now, Karina doesn't know her e-mails were stolen and hasn't come out to make that complaint. As far as everyone at the trial knows, they were provided legally.

    I only watched the last 20 minutes of A Heidelberg Christmas. I've actually spent time in that area, so I wanted to be excited for it, but it seemed really melodramatic.

    I would recommend giving the rest of the movie a shot. That was the only part that was melodramatic.

    Don't know if this is true or not, but I read that the ratings for the Hallmark Christmas movies this year have not been as good as years before.  And the other network...GAC?...they are one of the fastest growing networks out there. It seems a lot of Hallmark actresses are not with GAC.  Granted, I don't miss most of them.

    Actually, if you follow SleepyKittyPaws on twitter, who has posted a lot of the ratings information, this isn't accurate. GAC is promoting itself as being the fastest growing, but their numbers are actually abysmal. It looks like Hallmark's Christmas movies have been doing decently well considering the overall decline in cable viewership.

    Joyeux Noel - Copy editor, who, just seconds before going on about the importance of grammar, had herself mixed up the proper usage of she and her. I would not have settled the writer's strike until my demand had been met - anyone wanting to be a member of the writer's guild would have to pass a basic English grammar test and be subject to periodic pop quizzes thereafter.

    I noticed a mistake before her rant also, but it was mixing up him and he. Ugh. 

  21. I enjoyed the movie for most of the reasons everyone has already stated. BUT, I did not feel any romantic chemistry between the leads, which was a bummer. I just thought they had good friendship chemistry. I didn't buy that they had shared the most romantic evening ever at the sister's wedding.

    The real estate part of it was kind of silly, though.  That's a huge house so I'm sure there are more than three bedrooms.  And they kept referring to it as a teardown but both the inside and outside were exquisite.  Yes, I'm sure there would be buyers who'd plan to tear down the amazing home but it wouldn't be an automatic assumption for most people. 

    Also, the agent would have looked at the entire home. She shouldn't have been surprised by Ruby's personal spot or the basement having the old furniture.
