Oh, it's already December
Some randomness updates, I guess:
1. We can downgrade from Level Green to Level Yellow because I didn't have to go into jury duty!

2. I will! Mom likes to watch it with me, so we'll probably sit down either tonight or tomorrow to see the OnDemand episode.
I really, really hate this blasé, I must know the TRUTH and I don't care who gets hurt attitude that a lot of fictional reporters have.
That seems to happen a lot, doesn't it? How many real life reporters are like that, I wonder? A few, I suppose, with tabloids being what they are... But for a respected newspaper?
Unrelated: HOW did you get that accent on "blase?" Is there a keyboard shortcut to do that on here, or did you just copy-paste it from Word the way I do?
3. Oh, we made lists! The Reference department put together a "survey" of favorite things (music, books, shops, food, etc.) for everyone to fill out and uploaded the answers onto the network drive, so we all have some ideas to work with.
4. I find I don't have the patience to listen to an hour long ( ... )

2. I was thinking earlier about why I hated Renee, but like Freddie Lounds, even though they're sorta similar, and I came to the conclusion that Freddie owns her awfulness and knows she's does what she does for the controversy. Renee, I think, just wanted the story and notoriety and unintentionally forgot that these are people, too.
I can't really talk because there is a sneaky reporter in The Book who creates a larger mess. It's an interesting trope to play with; I just don't like it when we're suppose to side with the shady reporter or feel sympathy for them after they mess up.
HOW did you get that accent on "blase?"On a regular, desktop keyboard you hold down ALT and type 1-3-0 on the NUMBER PAD right ( ... )

How do you do that? I mean, I know you said something about the original series, but you've said you're good at figuring out twist endings, but how? What made you think so this time? I personally have been wading through this endless vat of "Everybody's nuts and hiding something, what threads should I even be following now?" pretty much from the first episode onward. I will say I'm choking a bit on the irony of what happened with Dad Miller, considering that vampire book I just put back on the shelf. SO. MUCH. NOPE. Not quite sure what else to say at this point.

A few things:
1. The US creators mentioned that they changed the murderer. (Actually, they specifically said "ending", but whatever.)
2. They kept all of the character arcs the same from the UK version: Mark cheating on Beth w/ Gemma, Jack's background, Susan's story and connection to Vince, etc. Tom even smashes his computer to hide the email exchanges.
Now BROADCHURCH SPOILERS In Broadchurch, it was Joe, the dad, who killed Danny. And yes, he was still a pedophile and had a "special" relationship with Danny. The big AHA! moment for most of the Broadchurch viewers was when Ellie says to Susan "how could you not know what was going on inside your own home?" Because the US creators swore Gracepoint would have a different ending AND with the characters being set as the same from Episode 1, I knew it had to be a Miller--and the only plausible suspect was Tom, after Joe ( ... )
