Even though hers is definitely more noticeable and seems strange, Luke Evans also pronounces words starting with W that way on the show. My family was talking about it with Dakota from the start, but I started to notice that he does also. His is just a bit more subtle/natural.

These aren't babysitting guidelines, but these are the "can my child be left home alone" guidelines for my state that we use when we're deciding if we need to call CPS where I live https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/news2/home-alone-guidelines-for-kids-and-parents/ . There's no actual law, just the guidelines, as it explains. To some extent, it depends on the child. Our show's babysitters are all certainly responsible, so that helps with them being able to watch other children. It just depends on the comfort level of the parents I guess. Like others said, it seems like the families that use them all have some sort of connection to their own parents.

There also seemed to be a lot of incest early on in this show. Like some others, I've watched random episodes of this show on PBS. My parents have recently gotten Acorn and/or Britbox, so I've been able to start from the beginning.

I am a Logan fan also, although I didn't dislike any of the guys. But considering Rob Thomas's more recent comments and clues/comments from early on, maybe the plan was always to have her end up alone. Logan only became what he did because of the actor chemistry and obvious fan support. And didn't Rob say that initially, when he was hoping the show would be on HBO, the plan was for Duncan and Veronica to actually end up being siblings? He changed it when they didn't end up on HBO, obviously.

I already referenced my working in schools. Based on my experience, the answer is sometimes/a good amount. Occasionally we'll hear about a kid who is all excited to get glasses. But we have a lot of cases where we have no idea a child got glasses because he/she doesn't wear them, and then something will finally lead to the parent mentioning it. Moving forward, the teachers try to encourage the child to put the glasses on if not on already. One or two kids have even needed a mini behavior plan to get them to wear them. I don't hear much of being teased about it, though. I guess it's more of a personal insecurity.

I'm 35 and no kids. I read some of the books as a child and remember wanting to start my own club (though we never really completed the process to start it), but I feel like I've forgotten so much of it. For some reason, Sea City is one I have more memory of, outside of the first book. I remember liking the other TV show and movie as a child. I didn't even realize there was a new one until I saw glowing reviews on twitter. Then I decided to watch and had similar feelings to others here. I really enjoyed the show. The actors/characters were great (kids and adults) and the storylines were a good mix of old/new, child/adult. This was a good escape for me from all of the terrible stuff going on in the real world right now. Too bad I watched it so quickly. Quick thoughts on the Logan stuff - I didn't mind him in the first few scenes that he was in briefly. The possible radar stuff came out more in the camp episodes, particularly when he had the eyeliner on for the play. So I'm not sure if it was the actor or the combination of the actor, his youth, and the eyeliner creating a different feel that didn't work as well for me. LOVE Mimi. Like others, Marc Evan Jackson was interesting to watch. He scared me in his first scene and very much seemed similar to his Shawn character on The Good Place. After that he definitely softened, but he also reminded me more of Kevin from B99. Lastly, my only real nitpicks are due to my career field. I'm a school psychologist, and Janine's comments about psychology and reinforcement were mostly inaccurate or used the wrong way. So that bugged me briefly, especially since she's supposed to be such a genius. But otherwise I enjoyed almost everything.

I posted this in the Holiday movie thread, but I thought I would post it here, too, since I think this is news that would make many people happy. Some may be avoiding the holiday thread since it's only July. According to Kimberley Sustad in an interview on the Bubbly Sesh podcast, a Nine Lives of Christmas sequel is in development.

OMG. Just seeing this now. I've ALWAYS thought Kevin looked like a white Snoop Dogg. Not just in this video.

A medical doctor? I thought he was a therapist like her. So Ph.D. doctor, like of psychology or something similar. Didn't he want her to partner with him and eventually take over when he wanted to retire?

I actually thought the movie was bad. The little plot it had was only at the beginning and the end, and that plot was very silly and badly acted. Everything felt very forced. The female lead's father's home (her childhood home) was even more outrageous in its grandeur than the other Hallmark homes that make it see like everyone can afford fancy homes. And how could the male lead afford the date in a private section of the castle on a small town teacher's salary? Though I guess they referenced he was doing something before that year and maybe he had a higher paying job. I forget if they specified what it was. It was just boring and silly to me and I barely stuck with it.

Like others here, I am shocked that there is so little standardization. And even outside of that, that so many schools are not doing their due diligence in putting strong measures into place considering you'd think that they really want college football to happen (even if they don't care about the actual players). Like UCLA players feeling that they need a third party to oversee their procedures! As someone who enjoys college football but DOES care about the players, I was surprised and pretty concerned when the schools started announcing that players could come back. That was even before these surges in other states. I'm pleased that my alma mater, PSU, seems to have excellent procedures in place from everything that I have read and heard. And their workouts are truly voluntary (coach mentioned 30+ players have decided not to return yet, including 5-8 on scholarship - forget the exact number). But if a season actually happens, I'd be concerned about them playing a school with more lax procedures. What a mess! ETA: This person does a good job wording my concern:

Last week, I saw My Favorite Bachelor. This movie was originally a PixL movie, but I guess Hallmark picked it up. I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised and actually enjoyed it. Maybe because I could relate to the lead female and her dating issues. And I liked watching her and the male lead, Scott, get to know each other and how their feelings grew.

I recently finished watching the Israeli version of the show, and it's full blown soap. I didn't realize that going in, so I kind of regretted watching because I'm not a fan of that sort of show. While the American show has diverged significantly from the original, I'm a little fearful it will increase in soapiness as well.

I agree with a lot of what is said. I just want to point out that Tyler's best friend, Gabe, is awesome (though too bad he wasn't holding onto Ty's phone harder when Jackson grabbed it). He's super mature for a HS student, maybe to an unrealistic extent, but I appreciate that he has been a good friend and has good advice. I just like him as a person in all of his scenes.

I was happy that they actually filmed the movie in Boston, where I went to grad school. That was about it. Not only was the heroine a bitch, but she is also probably one of the worst therapists in existence. Many here have commented on the issues in portraying certain careers when they have actual expertise. I'm not a therapist, but I am a school psychologist with some overlapping training. No way does a trained therapist not have familiarity, at minimum, with behavior modification and operant conditioning. That's like intro to psych. And I even learned it in undergrad when I was studying special education, as part of my behavior management class. My professor joked about using shaping with her husband to get him to hang up his towel in the bathroom. On top of all of that, her books were clearly based on theories that she has pulled out of her butt. They would have been better off making the movie with a lead who had some completely unrelated career, and she stumbles into the similarities between training a dog and a human. I might keep this on my DVR to rewatch on mute just for the Boston scenery. It made me a bit nostalgic. But I definitely won't rewatch for the actual storyline.

Meanwhile, Paxton reminds me of Chad Michael Murray. Not in looks, but in voice and acting choices/mannerisms. It was jarring. But guess I was the only one to think so nice no one else has mentioned it. I like Paxton, but add me to the list of those thinking he definitely looks older (the usual 20s actor playing teen) while Devi did actually look like a teen. The show has given some good male eye candy (Paxton, Kamala's possible fiance-to-be, Sendhil Ramamurthy). The actor who plays Ben is cute, if not quite hot like the others.

My parents introduced me to a few episodes of Brokenwood Mysteries. And with this whole Covid quarantine thing, I was able to get a free trial of Acorn myself. I went ahead and finished what has been made so far. I am enjoying the series. Like others, glad that Jared returned but sad that Kahu is no longer on.

Michael Rady is one of my favorite leading men, but I was disappointed in the movie. I agree that I understand where the female lead was coming from in some of her complaints, but she still bothered me for some reason. And this didn't ruin the movie for me, but her thinking she was a genius for naming his sandwich a BLP was eyeroll worthy. There was something similar to that later in the movie, but I forget the exact example. Also, while I know all of these competition-themed movies end up with one of the leads winning (or the leads tying 🙄), this movie projected which one would win it all more than usual. Especially once there was also a fan favorite prize. And I was just bored like Irlandesa, though I was multitasking. I liked Just My Type better.

When there were outside shots, it showed a sign pointing to the inn on one side and I think the house on the other (my eye seemed to keep going to the same side of the sign each time).

Yeah, I think Yannick to leave. But the book character also stopped being in later books for a different reason. So they made the choice to change the on screen reasoning for why he was gone.

Well, they might have dropped Martin off in the jungle because

Doubt they've gotten the message. They have these movies without the misunderstanding on occasion but still seem to encourage their writers to have misunderstandings the majority of the time. I want to know if there are any people who actually like it that way.

You read my mind. Or even before it was revealed what books he was writing, I thought they would publish the story before he got a chance to read it. Like Rome in Love. Was SO SO glad there was no stupid misunderstanding. It allowed me to enjoy the movie in its entirety, despite some of the silliness like you mentioned.

Thank you! That's what I said after watching when it first aired on Up. It was torture, but I stupidly stuck with it, too.
