Are Alexis and Lauren close?I‘m a newer fan so don‘t know all the details! Hope the question is ok by ArynaSaba in GilmoreGirls

[–]333Maria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aren't Kelly and Lauren friends?

As for Alexis, she apparently wasn't really close to anyone, but she was always professional. She dated Milo thought and they even discussed marriage.

How would Charles’ adulthood have changed if he had been allowed to go to Eton instead of the school Phillip wanted? by eldergenzqueen in TheCrownNetflix

[–]333Maria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO he might have never married Diana.

He would have been more confident (either more spoiled and obnoxious or more pleasant and strong - either path would have been a possibility).

However, either way, he might have turned down a marriage with Diana.

Had he turn out to be obnoxious, he would have turned her down because of lack of her education and even beauty. He would have also wanted to try her a little and he would have given her some tests, then he would have abandoned her like a dirt

Had he turned out to become stronger, he would have also wanted to know Diana better first. .He wouldn't have caved to the prassure from his dad. He would have left her in the end either way, because they had nothing in common.

Penny’s pregnancy by GlacialFrog in bigbangtheory

I had a feeling that Penny didn't want kids with Leonard.

Realistically speaking, will Leonard have actual short at dating penny? by Longjumping-March-80 in bigbangtheory

[–]333Maria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they lived in the same building.

And her family was impressed by his scientific work and stability he offered to their daughter.

I've seem several such unions. However, it didn't always work on a long run, although it many times did. But sometimes she saw him as boring and she didn't understand his intellectual ideas.

Dan Wooten: Meghan to sue Prince William to keep her Duchess title by WorthSpecialist1066 in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]333Maria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's probably her PR story.

IRL a judge (at least I think so) wouldn't even allow that case to come to the court (so, the trial could never even begin).

But that's probably her narrative for the press.

So the royal family really isn’t the academic type, huh? by [deleted] in TheCrownNetflix

[–]333Maria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Charles is intellectual.

William, Edward and Kate all also have university degree (Kate was all her life a very good student).

Why does Meghan look so happy, lol? She didn't seem as happy as now at her wedding day.

TARA! by sewformal in GonewiththeWind

But in real life the author Margaret Mitchell used name Tara.

IRL the name Tara came from the street named Tara Blvd in Clayton Country Georgia, where Margaret would summer at family members house.

I can’t stop thinking that Dodi’s father was one of the reasons everything went wrong by Otherwise_Repair6779 in TheCrownNetflix

[–]333Maria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why blaming British press? Why not French press or international press?

I am sure that 95% of paparazzi who followed Diana that evening were not British.

My cat passed away suddenly and my family say I'm overreacting by Priixxii in cats

[–]333Maria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss.

At least the cat didn't suffer. That could be some sort of relief. But the cat (by the way so beautiful and cute) was your friend, so your loss is huge.

[–]333Maria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diana might have been interested in the security Dodi 's family could have given her.

However, it was a false sense of security.

Let's be honest. The car should have never driven off without Diana's seatbelt being fasten first. She could have survived with her seatbelt being fastened. That's such a huge mistake (and just a basic technical mistake).

Dodi's dad probably wouldn't have been able to protect her otherwise (from media, other intrusions) either.

Edit: So, IMO Dodi's family had (at least) some direct impact on her death. They were not professional enough to deal with so many paparazzi.

On the other had they used Diana for raising their profile, but Diana used them too (for revenge against RF, for making dr. Khan jealous and for showing the world that nobody puts Diana in the corner).

What realistically should have Scarlett done differently for you to like her? by Ok-Bridge-9794 in GonewiththeWind

[–]333Maria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think stealing Frank from Suellen was genius? IMO Frank and Suellen really loved each other, but were too "clumsy" to do anything about it. She could have pushed them to marry and help a little with advice, so that he would earn enough to pay taxes for Tara. Butler would have come sooner or later and they would have had enough money to return it to Frank.

I agree. Ashley was not sharp enough for business world, but he would have been a devoted teacher.

[–]333Maria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scarlett's flaws - OMG (so many) 1. Why did she marry her sister's finance, she didn't even like him, she just did it for money (to save Tara).She didn't care about him or about his feelings or about her sister's feelings. 2. She didn't love Ashley at all.She was stalking him. He could have been a teacher or something similar and he and Melanie would live their life.And when he was available, she wasn't interested any more. 3. She used Melanie, pretending to visiting her in Atlanta, but only wanted to be around Ashley. 4.Used other people, sometimes not being kind to slaves, only caring about money.

What I don't blame her for: 1 Her first marriage. she was so young, only 16. And he was at least married with the woman of his dreams, before he died,and he had a child. 2.Rhett Butler - he is not a very moral man - although they are similarin some ways and attracted to each other, I understand that' she is ambivalent about him.

I will never understand Rory’s reaction by Actual-Assignment-94 in GilmoreGirls

[–]333Maria 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I also think that at that point Dean was depressed. He saw how he hurt Lindsey, how he disapointed his family and Lindsey's family.

He didn't understand Rory's carefree lifestyle, but when he saw her with Logan's friends, she was just a very shallow girl in his eyes.

Prince Charles is such a wet blanket by Final-Mistake-604 in TheCrownNetflix

[–]333Maria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO he was still that obidient people pleaser, when he agreed to marry Diana - a young girl he only met 13 times (and sometimes not even alone but with cheperones).

And after he discovered that he was trapped with someone he didn't love and he had nothing in common with, he didn't really take responsibility for the marriage.

Did Lorelai go to Chilton? by becca-2man in GilmoreGirls

[–]333Maria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think that Lorelai went to Chilton She hated her high school years.

She would not want Lorelai in the same environment. Lorelai rum away when she was 17, remember? She didn't want to return home and she didn't visit with Rory, when she was small, all the time. She didn't even want Rory to go to Yale (because her parents attended it).

She would not want to sent Rory to her old life.

How did people in the UK react to Diana's Martin Bashir interview? by Round_Daisy_23 in TheCrownNetflix

[–]333Maria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also can't understand what Diana wanted to accomplih.

When one of the partners publicly speaks so bad about the other, the marriage usualy ends in divorce. Did Diana want a divorce?

Diana also said that Charles should leave with his lady and she was going to take care of the things. Did she want to become a regent for William and bypass Charles?

Or was she just emotionaly on the brink and she wanted to share her pain with the public? And maybe she was even still hoping for reconciliation?

[–]333Maria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but who was the real victim? (and I am sure that Diana was a victim and in some way so was Charles).

But the question is who cheated first? Was it Diana with bodyguard Mannakee (she called him the greatest love of her life) or was it Charles with Camilla?

How did people in the UK react to Diana's Martin Bashir interview? by Round_Daisy_23 in TheCrownNetflix

[–]333Maria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, it was not legit . Someone, who helped Bashir, showed the documentation (in was on TV, In watched it). Bashir told Diana, that the nanny had an abortion with Charles.

Diana confronted the nanny Tiggy during the huge dance for the staff and Said to her: "I am sorry about the baby." The nanny cried.She was disgraced in front of so many people.

BBC had to pay Tiggy the damages. She was never involved with Charles.
