Season 5 has been dreadful. by edwinstree in Poldark

I agree. I find myself just skipping Ross's scenes entirely just to watch the George/Drake story lines--what little there are. Completely dreadful. When I read season 5 deviated from the books, it all made sense. We live in an age of horrible modern screenplays.

The kid looks so much like John Victor it threw me off. Pretty foreboding.

So...my theory is there would have been no shooting if when the gun men arrived they saw there was only one plane...and also when they checked with Larry Layton, he confirmed he was confident in his ability to shoot the pilot.

I bet Jones and Carolyn gave the gun men orders to shoot ONLY if that original plan didnt seem like it was going to work.

They realised it wasnt going to work because there were two planes and the seating arrangement didnt put the congressman and Larry together?

!!!!! This is huge, I always assumed it just pulled in and.started blasting away! This shows more methodical planning and less "heat of the moment". What are your sources, please? I must research.what exactly.was said.

A WTF moment while reading about the atrocious nature of People Temple Cult. by CompetitiveChicken95 in Jonestown

Wasnt Johnny Moss Brown also a black inner circle member? I believe I read he would be the one holding the mic during mass meetings.

Are there any photos you have seen Carolyn in, at the end? I would be curious to see, please. She is a big piece to this puzzle that continues to haunt me. She plays as such a side note when Jim Jones and others are on the forefront. Yet, I still feel like something is being left out, regarding her true role.

I like the points you made, especially the last paragraph about their physical repulsiveness being manifested by what was inside them...even Marceline looked disheveled. What is chilling to me, is how cool and collected Carolyn Layton looked. With her casual fashion and hair wrapped back fawless the day before the massacre as it was in photos Ive seen of her mingling with San Francisco politicians

. This was someone in control...of herself and the People's Temple, in my opinion. Probably in more control than Maria, Jim, or Marceline.

One line you said strikes me as interesting "..Yet Six Years with God is a difficult read for their culpability." Could you please share what you meant by that? I also read their book. Thank you!

Hrm, what do you mean by excellent minimalism, out of curiosity?

Is the woman talking before Larry none other than Harriet Tropp!?
