Always happy to hear "More Than This." But anytime I'm unexpectedly blessed with Roxy Music I then have to listen to "Same Old Scene." Not as well known, but there's something haunting about it, and I think it would've fit right in with Elizabeth and Philip committing yet another murder.

Poor Martha, now looking literally poorer perusing those nearly empty shelves. I wish she could come home.

Possibly. And it seemed like maybe an undercurrent of meanness, like a passive-aggressive desire to hurt her, smoothed over or covered up with friendly concern.

It says that you're more observant than me, even though I like (and usually notice) adorable dimples…and cats.

"Oh, I must step outside to hear this phone call!" I'm paraphrasing, but sheesh.

Everyone was so on-edge in this episode that I was on pins and needles throughout (even more so than usual).

And Marion's co-worker was named Janet. "Janet's leaving."
Might not mean anything, but I'd like to think it was a tip of the hat to the late Janet Leigh. And I doubt that even small details like that are accidental on this show.

Hey, there!
The hydrangea hat made me laugh (I was wondering if they were real). And I almost called the other hat lavender before settling on mauve, couldn't decide.
AND it was perfectly dyed to match that dress.
AND I don't know what's more magnificent, the ongoing parade of hats or Judy Davis herself. I said last…

Thanks for putting that information together in such a concise statement. It makes one realize just how much actual art was being produced in those days. I wish more people appreciated "what came before."

Younger than I realized. Practically a baby. No wonder Bette felt maternal toward him.

I was shocked to see a scene with a hat-less Hedda. But that mauve up-swept number in the restaurant later more than made up for it.

Laughton died just a couple of months after the release of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane", at the age of 63. That guy was a whole generation off.

Those close-ups made good use of Sarandon's "Bette Davis eyes", and she does indeed have them.

As a Hollywood history buff I've always been a bit in awe of Ms. Davis. And I'm now feeling almost as awe-struck by Ms. Sarandon's performance. She's just nailing it on so many different levels…from the walk, the way she holds herself, and clipped way of speaking, to attitude and essence. And she's making her seem…

I would just hope she understands the difference…people who know her and knew them personally wouldn't speak as if she doesn't exist. But for people who watched Gilda and Gene for years in their capacity as comics and actors, without much knowledge of their personal lives except that they were once married and went…

The Anti-Americans.

You just reminded me of yet another dimension Angel visited (which I completely forgot in my earlier comments) when you mentioned walking meat. That place (don't recall if it had a name) where a captive Wesley had a clever, manipulative conversation with that creature that kept referring to humans as "talky meat." It…

I was confused, too.
All I know is I don't like any cat-in-the-box scenario unless the cat is happily playing in the box, able to pop up and peek out, or jump in and out at will…like mine when I'm attempting to wrap Christmas presents. No poison in sight.

My mind wandered off to the Germanic tribes Rome conquered (more than once), as depicted in the beginning of "Gladiator." I tend to do that. It's not always helpful.

I'm upvoting your avatar.
It's criminally cute.
