Meredith Quill September 21, 2016 Share September 21, 2016 The Small Talk topic is for: • Introductions • Off-topic chatter • Having virtual tea with forum buddies This is NOT a topic for actual show discussion. When you want to talk about the show: 1 Figure out the nature of the topic you want to talk about 2 Look for an existing topic that matches or fits 3 If there is NOT an existing topic that fits, CREATE ONE! Examples of topics that populate show forums include (but by no means are limited to): • Character topics • Episode topics • Season topics • Spoiler topics • Speculation topics • In the Media topics • Favourite X topics • ...you get the idea Happy trails beyond Small Talk!

Allie56 January 30, 2017 Share January 30, 2017 I love the idea of having some virtual tea. My whole life has been one big attempt to have a fancy tea like you see in movies. I find it adorable that Dash is the same dog. Has anybody ready any good, escapist historical fiction lately?

I, too, was born in the 50's and my mother was given ether and was deathly ill from it and didn't get to see me for three days. She said "never again" and had my brother (in the late 50's) and sister (in the late 60's) without any anesthesia or painkillers. She loved being in the hospital for a week, although she was ambulatory, to rest up before going home to 24/7 baby care and homemaking. Sending mothers home within 24 hours is just wrong. Geez! Your body's just been through a traumatic experience, not to mention the emotional aspect. There's got to be a happy medium. Unfortunately, the insurance companies probably don't care. From the S2Ep1 thread. Insurance companies don't care. What's more, the time you have the baby makes all the difference. Everything's counted at 12:01 a.m. In 1993, I gave birth on a Wednesday at 12:13 a.m. I was released on Friday. My OB told me that had my son been born 15 minutes earlier, they would have had to release me on Thursday! My husband was recently hospitalized and I had a similar conversation with a nurse who told me that the number of days is counted by where the patient is at midnight. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/47966-small-talk-are-we-amused-yet/#findComment-3966400

Haleth June 20, 2018 Share June 20, 2018 If anyone is interested in a similar series I discovered Ekaterina on Amazon Prime, about the life of Catherine the Great. It's a Russian series with English subtitles. The production is gorgeous, omigosh, the costumes and sets are incredibly opulent. I'm only 3 (of 10) episodes in but am enjoying it a lot. Fascinating story of a young girl who had to prove herself worthy, in this case, of marrying the heir to the Russian crown. I recommend it! 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/47966-small-talk-are-we-amused-yet/#findComment-4428272

dubbel zout January 14, 2019 Share January 14, 2019 What I really liked about that book was how to everyone's surprise, Edward turned out to be a very good king. He might have been something of a reprobate as Prince of Wales, but when destiny arrived, he buckled down and did his duty. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/47966-small-talk-are-we-amused-yet/#findComment-4979376

atlantaloves March 5, 2019 Share March 5, 2019 Mr. Fox is totally killing it on this series isn't he? I adored him in Inspector Lewis, in fact I kinda had a nerd crush on him, but in this series, he is sorta sexy....I think his character is developing nicely. I think he might actually do right by Victoria before it is over, but I am not sure of history. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/47966-small-talk-are-we-amused-yet/#findComment-5103468

So I popped the first disc of the first season in, sit down to watch the pilot episode, and holy motherforking shirtballs if Charlie Cox (Daredevil) isn’t one of the guest actors!
