That’s great, but buying a copy does more to support the author, which is part of what I imagine Pandora was trying to achieve.

This is a 4 year old thread you’re posting in. I still had viable eggs back then. The president was intelligent, compassionate, and sane. OMG, my grandmother was still alive.

The show has different timelines, but he is playing the father of 17 year olds some of the time.

I was allowed to read anything around the house, which meant a lot of historical romance novels and horror. I certainly had access to the novel of The Shining. When the movie came out, we went to see it, and my mother and grandmother both clapped their hands over my eyes when the naked woman rose from the tub.

So, what’s the solution?

I assure you I’m not a mom, and if I were, I wouldn’t name the kid Boomer. Wouldn’t even name a dog that, and NBC has a whole series once about a dog named Boomer. And a character on a medical drama.

I interpret this as the person having been afraid of this thing, and then the show comes along and validates the pre-existing fear.

I still hate Miguel more. Also, he distracted them at the mall, making them forget batteries for the smoke detector. ;)

He gave an inspirational Jack talk about how they were went to have three, which probably was guilt tripping her hard. But since Randall is her favorite kid, it worked out great.

That’s actually the way to go, you don’t want to be too funny too fast.

Upthread someone said her name was visible? I don’t know. I wouldn’t have treated her that way for publicity, even if she should have seen it coming because she also likes publicity, but that’s not my brand.

No, we’re feminists. We never laugh. Get with the program.

They existed in the 90s?

Why the hate for anything a person doesn’t watch but still thinks they fully understand?

I watch both on Hulu, so I’m good, and not at all worried about the stupid football game running late. I’m getting mine anyhow ... is all I’m saying.

Most people saying they’re tossing out their slow cookers are no more sincere than when they say the show left them in a fetal position.

Jack gave the necklace to Kevin prior to the fire, I believe when Kevin found out that he couldn’t play football any longer. As mentioned, we knew Jack died in a house fire. They didn’t give us the sad montage with the sad music for this to not be it.

“Metz-al Ball Soup - a hearty dish.”

While it was initially him who wanted to adopt Randall, Mandy Moore was on board when she met him. He didn’t just bring the kid home.
