On today's episode of, "Jessica watches the CSI franchise 20 years too late"

I can't get over how hilariously awful and unrealistic this romance between Horatio and Marisol is, like...WHO GREENLIT THIS?!? Did David Caruso threaten the writers unless they let him date Delko's smoking hot sister? She's 20 years younger than him! And she's way out of his league! And WHYYYY does he always talk to her like a child?? This is so unprofessional!!

I miss Speedle.

Qui ment ? (saison 2)

Coucou ! Comme vous avez pu le constater, j’ai regardé One of us is lying… et j’ai terminé à l’instant la deuxième saison ! Alors un petit récup de cette seconde saison et mon avis ! Attention donc aux spoilers !! Le schéma de ce début de seconde saison me fait beaucoup penser à Elite ou 13 reasons why dans le sens où on retrouve notre club des meurtriers toujours dans le pétrin… et avec…

Pretty Little Liars: Ten Theories on the Mannequin Family

1. Vivian Darkbloom’s family.

Vivian Darkbloom is Alison's alter-ego, her fantasy self when she’s living another life: “Don’t you wish you could just be someone else?” Charlotte later takes on her identity, fleeing to Paris.

She’s supposed to be what Alison and Charlotte then want to be, and that includes the perfect “model” family, sharing “cherished memories” and “warmth and laughter” that Charlotte didn’t get.

2. Alex Drake’s wealthy family.

Alex Drake was sold from Mary Drake and Dr Cochrane to a wealthy British family that abandoned her at an orphanage when she was four.

Her adoptive parents along with adoptive siblings that were kept and loved, unlike her. The handprints on the wall are the mark of Alex who was abandoned by her adoptive family and lived a terrible life, even if they’re still living in their perfect model family.

3. Sara Harvey’s family.

Parents and a little brother, the blonde little girl can be either Sara or her sister instead (similar to number two where Alex is missing from the family dolls).

We learn Sara came from an abusive home in early S6. This could be related to the handprints on the wall.

4. More standard - Charlotte’s family.

Of course there could be a more standard answer to this question: simply Jason, Charlotte, Jessica, Kenneth. This is when Charlotte was still with her family. Jessica is pregnant with Alison.

After Alison came into the world Charlotte’s life changed not only by the bathtub incident but the boundless love she’d always have for her sister.

5. Bethany’s family.

Related to Charlotte giving (via Black Widow) condolence flowers to Bethany Young’s parents? Maybe or maybe not. The handprints on the wall are in three different colours. Three different Dilaurentis’s (the family of puppet masters) had its hand in affecting that family, and not for the better.

First - Jessica having an affair with Mr Young.

Second - Charlotte either trying to hit Bethany the night she died or digging up her grave, maybe there’s more we don’t know on Radley…

Third - Alison was supposed to be the target, but the hit ended up being made on Bethany. A fatal mistake…

6. Archer Dunhill’s family.

The reasoning for why Charlotte would have a mannequin family of Archer’s family (presumably casting him as the young boy) is dubious. However since he was her love it’s not implausible to assume she’d commemorate him in some way - and what better way to do that other than the other thing she loves the most; dolls?

7. Wren Kingston’s family.

Same with Archer especially since he was a major part of Charlotte meeting her sister and he seemed to know about the Dilaurentis-Drake-Hastings family drama back in *season 5* according to 7x20. Is it really a stretch to suspect a bigger role from him?

8. Charlotte and Archer’s future family.

With how much Charlotte cares about family it isn’t out of the picture that she’d want one with her true love Archer. The black haired mother Charlotte could be the Vivian Darkbloom disguise she continues donning after she runs away with Archer after being in Welby.

9. Not loved ones but lost ones.

The woman is Marion Cavanaugh, the man is Darren Wilden, the little girl is Bethany Young, and the little boy is “Charles” Dilaurentis.

It’s not a family, it’s the ones Charlotte has lost along the way, for better or worse, by outside forces or by choice (Side note: The handprints represent who they are survived by, one person with each colour. Maybe Marion is red or Wilden is or Bethany is green, could go either way. Either way none of them are for “Charles”).

10. Alice’s family.

No deeper meaning, but could this be the third reference to the mysterious, almost ghost-like, little blonde girl?

(In my view, this seems the most likely theory.)

[paulinedorchester]

So I completed my Downton Abbey rewatch project just under the wire (it's now gone from PBS Passport), and I have so much to say about it that I'm going to have to confine my self to just a few things.

What PBS had been offering until today was apparently the original ITV cuts, which were slightly shorter than what PBS originally broadcast. When the show was new in the U.S., bits and pieces that had been cut in the U.K. were restored. I recall reading comments from a British viewer who also saw some episodes on a visit here and much preferred the American cuts; better continuity and storytelling, he said. In any case, things I remember quite clearly were missing from the streaming versions. I'm now curious about how Peacock, or whatever it's called now, is approaching this issue.

Even with that complaint, I had forgotten how good it is.

One thing that struck me over and over again was the loyalty that the show inspired in actors. Well, maybe not from Jessica Brown Finlay, Dan Stevens, and Siobhan Finneran (a-hem). But Michael Cochrane played Mr Travis in eight episodes spread out over five years; and in s6e8 Harriet Walter appeared in a single scene (the wedding) as an extra; Rose Leslie returned in s6e4 after a four-year hiatus. That's really something.

When I was actively writing fic I substituted ought to for the American should so many times that I started doing it in conversation, which earned me my share of puzzled or faintly annoyed looks. But in Downton Abbey it's should all over the place — even from Violet! Have I been barking up the wrong tree?

And finally:

After Edith's wedding everyone heads back to the Abbey for the reception. As the bride's mother, Cora is technically the hostess at a party taking in her own home . . . so why does she keep her hat on?

In the meantime, I really ought to be starting my reread of The Hands of the Emperor, what with the sequel coming out in mere WEEKS omg. Very sad news for my library books I haven’t touched lol. And if anyone has a more hopepunk Bordertown comp, please know you will have my undying gratitude forever and ever 🥺
