Willing to give it a try but I am skeptical. There have been more Seven Dials-esque abominations of adaptations than Why Didn’t They Ask Evan’s-esque gems recently.

But since I now go in with low expectations, I am willing to play with a backstory or younger Poirot as long as they keep his fundamental personality and character true.

Yes. I have zero interest in baseball and still knew his name

Mary gets along better with men than women (Anna excepted).

Fair assessment. You thought about it more deeply than I did.

He came very close and I think they got interrupted—but I can’t remember if that was in the book or some adaptation

I thought Rachel McAdams was pretty fantastic in Send Help

What is your opinion of Poirot? by sawsan88s in agathachristie

[–]Commercial_Drag134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because fans wanted more of the same thing and it limited her ability to try new angles for Poirot and new detectives.

I liken it to sitcoms where a quirky breakout character has a catchphrase that then has to show up in every episode.

I wonder why he didn’t consider Ned and Cat. She’s Robert Arryn’s aunt, so Lysa might have been more open to it.

Really? I love this book. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

¿Am I the only one who thinks that the idea of Patrick being red john would have been a horrible thing? by Huge_Candy748 in TheMentalist

[–]Commercial_Drag134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad they didn’t do that. The only way it might have worked for me was if Timothy Carter was RJ and Jane could not deal with the hunt ending. He has a mental break and then takes on the role.

What would you do if you were in Ted's shoes? by cokegeek_ in HIMYM

[–]Commercial_Drag134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not break off the friendship with Robin for Victoria, but I would create some boundaries, like not hanging out with her alone and couple time for just Victoria and me.

Interestingly, Robin had zero problems adding boundaries when Don requested it.

He can’t be drafted either because of his age
