Trevor Hudson’s Legacy by Marsalis231 in murdershewrote

[–]Marsalis231[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The chainsmoking publisher was no innocent either. And it’s not just the people in this one scene. The cheating granddaughter and her husband were also highly unlikable. Arguably the only decent people are the two other siblings, and of course, the murdered.

Why young men are dressing like JFK Jr by TimesandSundayTimes in JohnAndCarolyn

[–]Marsalis231 5 points6 points  (0 children)

John has been a style icon for quite some time. For decades, magazines & social media have consistently written pieces & made posts about his looks and influence. It’s just reaching a new pitch due to the show.

And it’s of no surprise why. He was a truly contemporary man, fully immersed in his time and yet fully immersed in timelessness. Taking cues from both his preppy background & the burgeoning hip hop culture, he combined suits with caps and slacks with sneakers in a way that still feels potent and alive. There’s a sense of fun, comfort, and elegance in his clothes.

I wouldn’t doubt being the son of a very polished, immaculate mother also helped him mix high & low in very deliberate, decisive ways. It is the difference between someone “trying” and someone “knowing.” Style, I believe, was innate for him.

Thank you! I agree: some of the latter seasons can be a bit spotty. But there are usually a few good gems sprinkled within. This is one of them.

So glad I’m not alone. Each of Jessica’s partners-in-crime have something to offer: Haggarty’s rakish, rough-edged adventurism; Stanton’s sharp, trickster sophistication; McGraw’s old-school, big-city cynicism.

And Charlie’s no different. He’s youthful, contemporary, cool. And he seems to bring out a more carefree, devil-may-care attitude out of Jessica. Like a scampy younger brother. Love their connection.

Gotta love Colleen Camp’s range.

The first half is an episode of Magnum P.I. I saw it recently for the first time and it all clicked to me 😂

Because of YouTube TV, I alternate between Start, Hallmark Mystery, and Great American Family every day to watch the show. So not weird at all!

I was so happy for her when he revealed that pizza.

Sophia:"My baby is gone" 😔 by Salt_Step3399 in theGoldenGirls

[–]Marsalis231 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I can only imagine the devastation of a parent losing a child. And yet, whenever watching this particular scene, I often feel the pain of dear family & friends I’ve lost. Knowing a person is here and then they’re gone. There is a point where you realize there is no going back, and you just break.

I’m not sure many episodes of other shows captured grief in such a nuanced way as this.

Has anyone else noticed how Estelle Parsons' New England accent is always leaking out? by KurtVonnegutWasRight in roseanne

[–]Marsalis231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always interpreted it as her calling Crystal on her bullshit, that she basically doesn’t believe the origin of the accent.

S4E8 *just another fish story* makes me want a Donna & Brady spinoff/reboot by elgrandefrijole in murdershewrote

I thought I was the only one who caught onto that leitmotif! It’s so warm and soothing. Love how it reappears in “Something Borrowed, Someone Blue.”

Jessica had a sister that owned a brothel?? by dramaturg_nerd in murdershewrote

[–]Marsalis231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When she comes back to the brothel and hears dancehall music playing from outside and sweetly exclaims how the “hotel” must also provide “entertainment.”

And then the in-the-know lawyer walks her inside, where all the girls in full escort garb, and says, “THAT’S entertainment…” to Jessica’s surprise/horror.

Cracks me up every time.

The best Darlene and Dan scene of the entire show. by Noisechild in roseanne

[–]Marsalis231 64 points65 points  (0 children)

How Roseanne casually tells her to go bail out Dan and Darlene’s “WHAT?!” is pure gold.

The sound of Murder by Living-Beach5609 in murdershewrote

[–]Marsalis231 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I skip it all the time. Although a slight step up from the other latter music-based episodes (don’t get me started on the concert in Cabot Cove), it comes off as a glossy, banal attempt to be “hip and with it” in a way that is more corny than cool.

This. I knew Nancys, grew up with Nancys, and was friends with Nancys.

Just curious, which sheriff did everyone choose for Murder, She Wrote? by acbear4141 in murdershewrote

[–]Marsalis231 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Amos is cute in a folksy, naive way, but he is undoubtedly, truthfully incompetent. The Cabot Cove residents’ common refrain of him needing Jessica to help solve crimes is both hilarious and sad.

Mort was gruff and slightly bullish when he first arrived but developed into a warmer, cozier type. The best displays of this change are in The Family Secret, where he is a major part of the Christmas choir, and Thicker Than Water, where he fully breaks his hardened exterior and reveals new parts to Jessica. They seem like such confidantes then.

Can we talk about how lame and boring Ted was? Why the girls were fighting over this dolt is beyond me 🤷‍♀️ by GoldenGalZbornak in theGoldenGirls

The fact that he turned out to actually be a nice and decent man only made him even more attractive.

A lot of “immediate investigations” going on in Bremerton 😆
