It was a pie she was baking. Vera's neighbor noticed something strange about her fingernails, and Anna put two and two together to get suicide by arsenic pie. Lol

If you have her back then she'll have yours.

The album sounds like a glossier, slicker version of Live It Out. Which is a compliment and why I disagree that it is different from their beginnings—Metric as a two piece band in the late 90s was less rock/new wave, and more trip-hop. They abandoned the sounds of the Mainstream LP and Grow Up and Blow Away, starting…

Ha! I was just about to mention that show.

It's not so much what you've stated, but that black sitcoms of the 70s-00s were aimed primarily at black audiences and were built around the lead's—usually a comic or comedic actor/actress—stand-up act or on-screen persona. The scripts spoke to specific facets of the black experience while remaining universal. And…

We'll agree to disagree. I thought s4 was magnificent and left my mouth—and that of my family's—open in shock and surprise many times. (that episode when the Beast blots out the sun and Angelus roams free…eek!). S5 was dull, dreary, and turgid. And by the end of BtVS's sixth season, I absolutely despised Spike, and…

Joss said that Angel was David Greenwalt's baby many times during s1-4. After BtVS ended, Greenwalt stepped back (for some reason I've forgotten), and Joss took the reins.

Joss Whedon ruined Angel. I don't care what anyone says. Season five was horrendous, from the addition of Spike, the jettisoning of Cordy, Eve (horrible, horrible character), the splintering of the group, to the moving to a lighter, brighter look and away from the awesome noirish elements. Once Joss got his hands on…

Not true. It was, in fact, the opposite. Women in Britain were expected to help their husbands political careers and to take a large interest in charities and other things involving the poor, servants, etc. Whereas in America, they were pretty ornaments of their husbands wealth. (And it's Jennie Jerome, who became…

Lol, Downton is always like this. S4 worked well because it didn't gallop through months at a time per episode, but the Christmas special went right back to its old form.

lol

Er, maybe if Green were an aristocrat it would be difficult for Anna to obtain justice, but Green is her social equal. The Crawleys—and Gillingham—on her side would have ensured he'd be thrown in gaol, lock, stock, and barrel.

She had an affair with a married man. Matthew extricated her from it in S3.

True. It was just irritating all around how Anna was pushed out of her own storyline.

Er, you think so? The storyline simply petered out in my opinion, and remained firmly affixed to the consequences of Bates' retribution.

There was a difference between Melba and Novello—Dame Nellie Melba was a HUGE star in 1922, and had been a star since the 1890s. Plus, she sang opera, which was classier than Novello's pop tunes and theatre/cinema acting.

American history classes jump from Civil War/Reconstruction to the Great Depression and then to WWII, so why wouldn't the Edwardian/WWI era be so unknown? I didn't know of it myself until about ten years ago.

I love love love love this movie. My favorite Sturges film.
