They should have found a kitchen where there'd be a more space for the kids. Last season, they had the kids working in an outdoor setting, presumably to avoid the horrifying sight of 6 children working in 10 feet of space, burning each other and lighting everything on fire in cramped quarters.

Fuck that.

I used to say that about Lord of the Rings and GoT. Granted, WoT is WAY more complex than that, but with a big budget from somewhere like HBO, much is possible.

Everything about Byron sounds entirely fictional. Affair with sister… Daughter who invented the computer… Lover who committed suicide by throwing herself in the Venetian canal…the most deranged Lifetime writer couldn't dream this shit up.

THE HATS.

Where is the 30% costume/5% horses?

It's because of Emma Thompson, who puts in an excellent performance in both (but is acting by herself in Howards End)!

Howards End is a fine costume drama, but not really worth a rewatch. It's lacking the necessary melodrama, followed by proper British restraint, that makes a costume drama worthy of rewatch.

I almost fell out of my chair when the skaters said, "Maybe that means money!"

The closest I've seen is when Northern Exposure had bubble guy, played by the excellent Anthony Edwards.

It fits with the whole "New Mexico" motif. There are lots of New Age-y hippies in New Mexico who subscribe to wacky concepts. Not to mention that New Mexico is a hotspot of nuclear testing, which could lead to paranoia/legitimate fear about electromagnetic hazards.

Nah, I think your original conclusion was right. The coffee/prosecutor montage dragged.

Lawyers be dicks.

10 years ago does not equal 1965. We had skim in rural Nowheresville when I was growing up in the 80s.

This is not particularly relevant to y'all's argument, but I've always thought that things Beyonce is a genius for are:

IMHO, Bush actually didn't care about people. Black, white? Didn't matter to him. Could they donate significant amounts of money to his campaign…? That was important.

Yeah, pretty much.

I think it's a matter of, "when was it no longer possible to listen to the radio, ever." I would put that date around 2001 or so.

Even dumber. So it's replacing the word "derivative"?

Mmmmm, Master Race.
