Nooo…it has a gorgeous, long-haired, intelligent and personable cat I loved dearly for 18 years…sitting on the loft balcony railing winking down at me occasionally to remind me of mortality. Not to mention dogs I've loved running through sometimes…I'm an animal lover in case you can't tell.
Hey, that's what this show…

My own personal mind palace is prettier than Sherlock's, but his is far weirder. I find it intriguing.
I think some people are being too negative about this episode. The dialogue alone made it worthwhile and for me, more than compensates for any shortcomings…especially compared to so much of the drivel that airs each…

That is so weird!!! I was writing to you with Dickens in mind at the same time you were posting to me with a Dickens connection!!!!
I will read the article with great interest and get back to you a little later. It's 8am here and I've been up all night and am going to try to sleep a few hours. My vision keeps blurring.…

"Please, Sir, I want some more."
Or…long about Fall of 2016 we'll be languishing and wishing for it like Pip for Estella. However, I'm sure it will be worth the wait…and then some.

Hmmm…now I feel informed AND confused. Thank you??
No, seriously. Thank you. That was very interesting. But, Spring 2017? That's a looong time to wait for season 3. I guess we'll get there.

Yes, it is.. unless you have a strange urge to immerse yourself in archaic language. I've had that urge and interest since childhood. Don't know why it started so early, reincarnation maybe? All I know for sure is it's given me a lot of pleasure. But I know it can be like a chore if you don't have that itch.

Interesting speculations there.
So sorry about your dad. Mine had open-heart surgery last week and I was terrified because of his age, but so far so good. Poignant moments always get to me, too.
Safe travels, and put another two cents worth in later. I always read your comments.

Love Twain. He's a little like my beloved Shakespeare in that you can always find a terrific quote…about anything or for any circumstance.
Plus, I grew up boating and skiing on a great river, but picturing Twain, riverboats and flatboats.
Plus, he loved cats…like Dickens…and Hank!

I know!!! It's a shame there weren't paparazzi in his time.
He was a character, but I still remember how I nearly swooned when I first read his words about the ocean in "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" (note username and avatar)….real depth and beauty there (and exactly how I've felt about the sea since the age of three).…

Poor Poe probably sometimes believed what he wrote.

I don't. It would only take a few minutes more to be proofread. And it's going out there as an official bit of writing. It's like publishing something without editing or proofreading. Just lazy.
I'm willing to wait a few more minutes for something that doesn't make me cringe.

That's distressing on many levels.
However, I'm relieved to know that the film was fictional. When I first saw it, I was bothered by the woman being chased around in a comic way (before being put through a wood-chipper, if I remember correctly) if based on a true story.
Thanks for the link. It was interesting.

Yeah, I get it…a little like the way Byron lived life (fellow lit grad.**waves enthusiastically after smugly tossing my hair back and straightening my posture***).

Maybe they just like making us spin our wheels. But hey, I like shows that occasionally make me feel like my mind is like a hamster on a treadmill.

I just read the other day that all the "true story" claims are themselves fictional. And they had me believing them.

That's a good theory. I just wanted a wee bit more.

Pacifist, sweet, sensitive soul that I am, I still REEEEALLY wanted to see Gale Kitchen get his.
I'm so disappointed that didn't happen.
Shucky darn.

Call me a kid at heart, but I wanted another look at the UFO and/or a bit of an explanation. At least Lou and Hank acknowledged they both saw it.
All season long I've been considering one fact. Our story was taking place just five years after the famous Travis Walton abduction case, which made national headlines (for…

I agree with everything you said.
But I have a feeling Milligan would not have stayed in that job. He would have left and found work with some other mobsters in another part of the country.
He had a talent for killing, and a real taste for it. The sadistic bastard enjoyed it too much to ever give it up.
Come to think…

Yep, answered that question definitively. So many people doubted her demise because they didn't actually show the deed. I didn't doubt it, though. The whole scene was just too Adriana to mean anything else.
