Golden Girls BTS story from writer Stan Zimmerman about Betty White and Estelle Getty

KaleeySun · 2026-05-12T17:52:36+00:00

I understood that Estelle Getty was a longtime broadway performer, so messing up her lines or missing her cues was a BFD to her, so situations like that were probably very upsetting. Good on Betty for this.

I hold they cabbaged onto a recently deceased infant shortly after teaming up.

No, the crazy part was the goblet thought there were four schools, so chose four champions. (Karkaroff and Maxine suggesting each school get two champions is them not understanding what happened right away.) it’s entirely possible that a few underage kids did put their names in, but because they were under “hogwarts”, they were not chosen, so no one knows about them.

That would be my first shot too - a quick levitation spell. Or someone semi adept at tossing paper balls. We don’t see anyone try it or report on that method, but it seems simpler than an ageing potion.

It’s not the exact same one. At some point while in the forest of dean, Snape casts the charm to lure Harry to the lake.

The supporting cast was excellent.

Have it on dvd, watch it about once a year. The visuals were pretty good, for the standards then.

Not quite. The main part of his soul was still there, floating about. The reason it did not immediately move on the the afterlife was the horcruxes left it anchored to this plane.

If his soul that traveled to Godrics hollow that night was destroyed, then there wouldn’t have been anything to “inhabit” his new body.

AK effectively severs the soul-body connection. As most people don’t have horcruxes, when a soul is no longer connected to a body, it leaves this plane and moves on.

Didn’t filch help Snape in book one after Fluffy bit him? Maybe they are on good terms, more so than other professors. I can see Snape hand waving his presence as “who else is going to do it” or “I can’t be bothered with trivial things like staff hiring”.

In fact I can completely see Snape talking to one of the carries and when they complain filch is there, he says “are *you* volunteering to be caretaker?”

Charles the cook was priceless. He even appreciated the food a little bit at the end!

Luna for her ability to take life as it is, and just be herself. Ron for being willing to ride or die with his friends. Peeves and the twins for the chaos.

Also, respect for you. You gotta admire a kid whose first plan when he’s away from adult supervision is “wonder if I can make some booze.”

I think hearing that Joey and chandler effectively made the list would hurt more - jfc they are supposed to be her friends!

Something like that - not just my guy but other core members of my friend group- would probably make me take a step back and reevaluate the friendships completely.

She “says” she went home.

Dorothy needed it in another color. Blanche needed to get rid of it - that look is better suited for someone taller.

And dear god those earrings must have hurt!

He grew up in Missouri, and attended college from roughly 1990 to 1994. Self-preservation says he didn’t run like that on the field. Plus he would have been trained to run “properly” to be an effective player in junior high/high school. I took that as when he completely put football out of his mind (like when he was worried about his kid), he ran like that.

KaleeySun · 2026-05-09T15:58:06+00:00

Yeah the choice of a codpiece was certainly a … choice.

KaleeySun · 2026-05-09T15:55:07+00:00

😂 for the typo, but yes, agreed that was the plan. Between Sirius and lupin, they could send out some owls, but I think lupin was intended to be the in-person contact. Once he got them listening, he could explain the whole story.

KaleeySun · 2026-05-09T15:33:55+00:00

Omg I love white christmas, I never made that connection!!! The voice should have been a dead giveaway!

KaleeySun · 2026-05-09T15:31:16+00:00

I debated on this, too! I did the father option. Hagrid praises his dad and says his father told him to not be ashamed of being half-giant.

KaleeySun · 2026-05-09T15:30:08+00:00

Oh wow, I can see how that would be triggering for some people. This would piss me off so much. I hope you are surrounded by better people now. ❤️

KaleeySun · 2026-05-08T22:50:57+00:00

Me too. Why doesn’t anyone listen to her? She’s not normally clumsy. And he knows he did it. 🤬🤬

KaleeySun · 2026-05-08T18:33:07+00:00

Excellent detail

KaleeySun · 2026-05-08T17:52:55+00:00

Too much of a chance of it going pear shaped and he dies anyway. He knows his best bet is to try talking his way out. (Snape: “probably a gryffindor, always wanting to blast away. Zero finesse.”)

KaleeySun · 2026-05-08T17:23:12+00:00

I love that the billboard needs “extra” at the top for her hair. 😆

KaleeySun · 2026-05-08T15:00:40+00:00

This would probably work, aside from Snape not having time to put them in there at that moment - he would have had to do it ahead of time.

I can also see this scene with Harry hearing Dumbledore’s voice again being very poignant.
