I guess I came by my perception of it thru the book, wherein it was sort of a mystical, pseudo-pyschological process the Claire performed. It seemed logical within the universe of the books, but in hindsight, I should have applied critical thinking- of course it would not have been that simple.
Well. You're right in your take on it. But DG canon tidies that up with the monastery scene (still gutted they didn't show the underground hot spring scene- what a waste of R- rating)
Claire forced him to confront his demon, & that may be unrealistic- I can't say. But it IS acknowledged that talking about rape/sexual abuse is key to getting over it.
My perfect wedding cake would include vanilla cake, fresh berries, berry coulis or jam, & loads of Italian meringue on top (amazing stuff, sooo good. It's a little bit technical, but really not that hard (whip egg whites over slow heat until they turn into beautiful clouds: honestly, it's what whipped cream WISHES it could be! & goes together fast.) As I said, I'm not a baker, but my guy loves lemon meringue pie. I go the distance for him!)
I must have missed something! I know there have been references to another Frank/Helen house the kids were raised in, but at least some of their childhood was spent in Reagan "Manor" because when the parents of a neighboring family were murdered, there was a lot of exposition about how close the Reagan kids were to their kids (Erin's first kiss, IIRC). May have been Henry bought that house when he became the Commish.
I know this kind of thing doesn't matter in the long run, & I'm not generally picky as to deets: keep me interested & I'm happy to ignore inconsistencies. ALTHOUGH... I'm STILL unsure on birth dates of the Reagans: always had it pegged as Joe, Danny, Erin, Jamie, but savvy viewers make a convincing case for a different lineup.
Just saw Whoopi on James Corden & she promoted it. I flashed on The Stand back when it became evident that COVID19 was going to be catastrophic: it's my favorite King book, although it now has a deeper, sadder connection.
Oh, but you are comparing apples to tire wheels here. Do you not understand how crazy this virus is? My friend had a slight cough: her husband remains in hospital 3 weeks later. They hosted a lovely party for fam & friends: at least 9 ppl have tested positive.
Yep, troll.
I meant OP, not you!
It really won't matter much, as far as taxes, jobs, etc. Both parties use working class taxes.Trump bums me out because... because... just BECAUSE! He is a Bad Man: liar& thief.
Yes, the purpose of the show was to honor Arthur, whom Iris escorted as his plus1. Yer just a bit remembering wrong: t'was Jack Black who scooted in 5 seconds before Arthur's triumphant walk up the stairs.
Agree! Ian was NOT a virgin, & indeed an eager young man- no shrinking violet, he, when encountering his first pretty young bird of pleasure, but Geillis WAS older, & I'm guessing the blood scared the hard out of him, per filmmaker version.
It was difficult to read that part in the book: I'd some fondness for Geillis, but to read that she'd become obesely evil was tough to take. Plus, Claire suspected that she'd contracted syphilis & that had destroyed her mind.
It might have made an interesting & more logical part of the TV tale, but t'would have confused viewers: not to mention depriving the world of that extremely creepy view of Lotte emerging from the bath. Potent, scary scene.
