As Mr. Wonderful would say, he is dead to me. Leave him gone, don’t mention him again, forget he ever existed. Oh, and keep Aiden…forever!

I’m hanging on to it by a thread. I know it’s probably just something the director is using to be different but the way they all talk so softly really grinds on my nerves. Who talks like that, especially under a strain like they all are.

And I’m finding the dialog rather poorly written and uninteresting. Maybe it’s just me but I’m about ready to hang it up.

Actually, I’m in the same boat with Zoo which I thought I’d love because I really like James Patterson’s books but this tale is so impossibly to believe that I just sit there shaking my head. Where are all the good shows like Vikings, American Horror Show, Madam Secretary and that show two years ago about the Russian Mafia wife? That one was REALLY good. And I miss Galavant and Merlin too. Galavant may be back but Merlin is done for good. Another one I miss that I can’t remember the name of but Will (of Will and Grace…Eric What’s-his-name) played a professor with mental problems and helped a woman FBI agent solve crimes.

were not hard core criminals like you see on Dog, the Bounty Hunter. They were for small-claims court and usually for someone who hadn’t paid their bill. At that time the max was $500 so there were typically just normal people who, for some reason, had a dispute and didn’t think they should pay.

Lord, no, my husband would have never let me do it if he thought there was the slightest bit of danger to me. Sometimes I’d carry a gift-wrapped box with the subpoena in a colored envelope that looked like a gift card with me to make the person think I was bringing them something…very effective. They’d say, “Yes, I’m so-and-so” right away.

My listings menu was showing only HD stations so when I looked at all of them, there was POP-TV. They pre-empt the show here if it rains or someone has a traffic accident. Or, of course, if Obama sneezes.

I thought the dress was just a wee bit tight.

Yeah, I wish they would have explained how she got that filed, served and heard all in one day. Also, she goofed as a process server. You are supposed to ask the person if they are who they are the person listed on the subpoena and when they confirm, THEN you hand them the subpoena and tell them, “You have been served.”

I once did that for small claims court cases way back when we were young and poor ($25 a pop was pretty good money) to pick up a few bucks because I could do it even though I had two small kidlets. It was okay to leave them alone in the car then…with the doors unlocked and the windows open. And nobody ever took them…darn! :o)

the writers include all that. In fact they often even describe the wardrobe if it’s something special they want to contribute to the storyline. They write in the scenery too, like where it takes place, is it dark or bright, that kind of thing. If you look at the director’s copy of the script, you’ll see all that stuff.

But one thing that was pretty unrealistic was that Aiden’s blood never dried and turned brown like real blood does. It stayed bright red, even when they got to Hope’s house. I also thought it was kind of strange she waited until she got him there to get a towel and wipe off some of that blood while in the hotel room. After finding out he was okay, that’s probably the first thing I’d do.

Although…the way Clyde kicked him in the side, he wouldn’t have been standing and walking like that. He should have had several broken ribs and if you’ve ever had one, you know how painful and debilitating they can be.
