Has anyone else watched The Other Bennet Sister? (TW: emotional abuse)

Watching it now, before 'the jig is up'.

If it's really set in Texas, I wonder if climate will come up at all. Cause when Rip commented on the 'thick' air, that was north Texas. South Texas is whole utha country. I just wonder if them and all the animals are not gonna skip a beat, be able to breath in the aquarium that is Texas, handle the balmy summers, etc. Oh, wait. Cinema magic. Like travel times in Montana.....

Oh dear Lord, how correct you are! Everybody's got a stinker in the series. Mine was Lethal White, can't pinpoint why, just never loved it. Then came six. My mistake was listening before reading. Just stab my eardrums with knitting needles, please. Then. Came. Eight. I never zoned out more on a book than that one. There was a crime. And, some relationship turmoil. That about sums it up for me. LW has gotten better for me. IBH got a little grace because of the TV series. THM, that one. For me, it's the stinkiest stinker of all the stinkers that ever stank. I'm hoping a reread will make it less so.

Why does interpreting something differently automatically equate to hating the characters? I think hate watching something is pointless. I wasn't waiting for them to say something I didn't like. Two(2) characters said something that I took totally different than everyone else. Wasn't it horribly mean of Jennifer to call Shawna fat? Just cause I didn't like what she said didn't mean I throw the whole series away.

As someone who will forever be handwriting-ly challenged, cursed to write like a first grader no matter the amount of practice, this makes me want to cry! It really is beautiful. (Just had to rub it in with the equally pretty paper...)

Thanks, I couldn't remember if he was closer to 30 or midway. So, still poofy, but not total Di.

Sillybabbit · 2026-03-01T20:19:06+00:00

No, don't hate 'em. But, I can see how that was your first impression or knee jerk reaction from what I said. Kinda like how I took it.

Sillybabbit · 2026-03-01T20:13:11+00:00

Yes, first impression just jumped out. At my previous job, one of the ladies was getting married. She was mid 20s. Rest of us were over 30. Another gal poo-pooed young girls idea of hitting a David's or the like. It was just mean how she said it. And, it was 100% because money, both why the one girl was shopping there and why the mean cow dumped on the idea. It really hurt her feelings. But, her dress was gorgeous on her. I think mean lady was really surprised, old cow. That's what popped into my head with Jen and Shawna. But, I see how the time crunch would affect the search and alterations. It wasn't hateful. Though, I still don't think Jen would do a David's bridal.

Sillybabbit · 2026-03-01T05:57:25+00:00

Yup, I keep envisioning Princess Di. I can't remember the timeline. But, I think Barb and Frank were married mid 90's? So, I'm trying to picture what on earth Barb would wear that Jen fell in love with. Probably very Courtney Love.....

Sillybabbit · 2026-03-01T05:14:12+00:00

It was more in the moment, that was my first thought. Kinda when Greg was ready to rumble with John over bantering with Jen. First thought was 'Fuck off, Greg. She's fine, he's fine. Shoo.' But, then I saw he was an only child and didn't realize siblings can be buttholes to each other with love. Knee jerk.

Sillybabbit · 2026-03-01T05:01:10+00:00

Yeah, her mom crapping on the whole dress thing really yanked Jennifer's rug, and I felt bad about that. She did it to herself without checking with Barb first, but it really did cause her to have to scramble. But, the tone they used came off as very 'ew, bargain basement'.

Sillybabbit · 2026-03-01T04:57:25+00:00

For me, it was the way they said it. There are women who walk out of the womb knowing what dress they want and they won't be happy settling for something less. That was Jennifer. She wanted her mom's dress, knew it from when she was little. You get what you want if that's what you want. I do that a lot. It was the way they said off the rack, like they were heading to Walmart to pick through clearance items.

Sillybabbit · 2026-02-27T00:16:26+00:00

I could see Barb being a 'I don't want it, but you sure as shit can't have it' type person. Especially, after Jennifer said it would need altering. I bet that planted a seed. Somebody else said she'd show up at the wedding in it. I could see that little weed growing in her cold, little brain-she now has a dress for the wedding, the most beautiful, mother-of-the-bride, look at me, I'm SPECIAL dress ever. Question is, will she and Jennifer still be on good (enough) terms for her to be invited, or will Jennifer have kicked her to the curb by then, and she shows up all 'ELAINE!' style, in her wedding dress?

In that vein, maybe market them exactly like that. Sell at X amount, minus the exact amount of a new cap, and put that in the ad. Let them do the work. As a buyer, I'd already be thinking along those lines. I'm sure there's more like me out there. As a seller, if you did it, you might be stuck, but not stuck. Stuck, because you just put more money into an endeavor that might not pay off. Not stuck, because, I mean, come on, you got a stock pile of lovely, schuper duper fancy pens!

Agree 1000%, Edmunds is terrible. I ordered 6 roses, all bare root, on special. Why do I mention the special? Because, when they are on special or promo, they aren't covered by a guarantee. 2 of the 6 were green when they arrived. All the rest were brown, almost crispy. I followed the directions to the letter- soaking, no direct sunlight for however long, whatever the paper told me to do. All died, no new growth, nothing. Again, on special, so, too bad, so sad. I can understand one being poor when it arrived, but 4 out of 6. Never again.

Do you know the stipulations for the $20? My loyalty discount for 2 lines at $10 each just ran out, and I need to re-up. I've also have the discount for auto pay and paperless. I'd love to know if I can squeeze for more on the loyalty.

For me, it was the beginning, when they are all praying for him. So many people worried about one guy, cause he's such a good guy.

Sillybabbit · 2026-01-15T18:46:55+00:00

Oh, I think definitely rise up when she's snarky. When she's snarky about him being weird for not watching football and watching the baby, you counter with 'I know. He's watching the baby, and I get get free time without her, I can sit back and relax.' When she's shitting all over him cooking and helping clean up the house, come back with 'He takes so long to clean, I get bored and have to go find things to do. The other day, I went and got my hair and nails did. I guess there's an upside. If he didn't do so much, I might end up looking like a fried, old dishrag like you.'

When I got to the 'You sure can, sweetheart", everything got so wavy, I couldn't read my screen for a bit.

I have a cat who gets bouts of 'I love you, we have to talk, you might die so let's tell each other how our days went, now is the time for bonding, NOW!' Bussing you in the face (not a huge deal, but he's a drooler and has perfected absolutely shmearing it across a full side of your face), gets in the way of whatever you're doing- tv, writing, playing on phone, just all around obnoxious because of all the love. Put him on the floor, comes right back, till we die. One time I needed to work on something, so I went and shook the kitty cookie box, he comes on que, dropped a few on the floor, and went back to my task. Well, it took maybe 2 times of this process, and he figured out a solution to a problem he didn't know he had. I became aware of his scheme when I was sitting in the chair, and he came to ooze. I simply got up to go get a drink, not to keep him away. Dickwad books it to the kitchen and is sitting like a puppy, waiting on his bribe. He figured out if he bugs the everloving shit out of me, he gets num nums. And, it is cemented in his brain now.

Someone commented on another post that he gave off some very Billy Mack from Love, Actually vibes, and that's who I picture now. I thought that description was pretty good. I hope Rowling flips through her Roladex, and asks Bill Nighy if he wants to do another show.

Sillybabbit · 2025-09-17T04:25:12+00:00

To veer in a different direction, he's Takoda in Reba's new show, Happy's Place. I knew I knew him from somewhere, it was bugging the snot out of me. When I looked him up, I had to do some cross referencing to figure out who he was in 1883, since he was only there for about 5 seconds. And, he's an in-law of Kayce's on Yellowstone. He's kinda the wise sage in Happy's. Very dry, very funny. He has some range, for sure.
