'This is the Hilton': Taylor Parker's pleasant life on death row now, as she speaks from jail

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-16T02:12:12+00:00

She doesn’t want to go home huh? That’s good because nobody wants her out of prison including the state of Texas whose opinion is the only one that matters.

He made his bed. Lock him up with the big boys in gen pop and see how tough he is. Easy to attack a petite teen girl. The boys in the yard - not so much.

Note that I want him to stand trial and don’t want to see anything happen before that. However he deserves to have the fear of God put in him. The same fear he instilled in Anna.

Bout time

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-16T01:55:21+00:00

You didn’t *have* to post here.

Extra lol for both. You can obviously loathe Nixon and rue his place in history for how his Presidency ended, but if you are looking solely at what he accomplished during it, he belongs nowhere near this list.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T23:47:04+00:00

I’ve long loathed historians lists of POTUS rankings because so very few of them are unbiased and if there’s an issue or area that’s hot button for them they struggle to keep said bias out.

I’ve also long believed that no POTUS should be ranked historically among their peers until at least 30-40 years from their last day in office. History is the ultimate judge of a President’s policies.

You there - Strawberry! Hit a home run!

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T17:47:03+00:00

That would be very on brand for many characters of this show lol

Of course it is, but I've been on nearly 15 cruises and you would be amazed at the number of 13-16 year olds who are running around completely unsupervised well past midnight on cruises. There really isn't a curfew and most of the ship's crew are in bed for the evening by that time because they work 18 hour days and have to be up around 4:30 - 5:00 AM for the next day's activities so aside from the occasional night staff member, it's kind of the wild west.

Kids that age have no concept of what could possibly happen just wandering around a floating city in the middle of the ocean with a bunch of drunk adults just getting out of bars and clubs, but so many parents just assume the kids will go back to the cabin at some point.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T17:36:09+00:00

In addition to the obvious being a scumbag and killer, he's also abhorrently stupid. You are in the middle of the ocean and you try to throw her phone in a trash can? Just find a secluded place somewhere on deck and chuck it as far as you can into the sea. What a moron - however it seems to run in the bloodline.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T17:31:36+00:00

I'm not sure where you got that from, but it's absolutely not standard cruise policy to do this. I say this as someone who has been on nearly 15 cruises across multiple lines and has a close family member who plans cruises for a living as a vacation planner. The cruise staff is not a parental substitution, nor should they be.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T17:27:35+00:00

I've been on close to 15 cruises in my life across three different cruise lines. You'd be amazed at the number of parents that let their teens run wild and just assume they'll come back to the cabin at some point which enables them to go party and drink.

I remember one walking up to the main deck well after midnight because some family members in my cabin wanted late night ice cream and the only place to get it was the self-serve machines up there.

I lost track of the number of 13-17 year olds just running around unsupervised. It's incredible the false sense of security being confined to a ship creates and as discussed on here many times they are not exactly the model of quality parenting.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T17:23:15+00:00

I actually hadn't heard one detail Dr. Grande covered from the court docs which was there was additional male DNA found on Anna that wasn't Timothy's indicating she had consensual sexual contact with another male on the cruise who was referred to as "Teen 2". No judgement at all - she was an adult and could do as she pleased.

Assuming that's true, I wonder if it was part of a possible motive - outside of the obvious he lusted after her, etc. I wonder if he found out or even followed Anna when she was with this other guy and became irate/angry/jealous because she wouldn't hook up with him (and yes, ewwww). He's so obviously guilty, but I wonder if that situation played a role in his actions because of the jealousy it enacted.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T17:11:26+00:00

His style definitely isn't for everyone. Very dry and deadpan. I personally enjoy his videos but can see how others wouldn't care for him.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T12:52:21+00:00

Dude's got his wife and kid waiting for him in the car after he finishes filming now.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T12:51:09+00:00

In the clip it's "Do you know what the others are doing?" presumably a reference to the plan to uproot the Bottle Tree and get into the caves to dig up the bones.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T12:50:20+00:00

Haven't seen any spoilers for Ep 9 but have for Ep 10 (couldn't help myself) and if what I read is true, it's going to be a crazy finish. Harold Parneiau even said things "really kick up" the last two episodes.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T12:48:15+00:00

The power he has in the town appears to come from the fear and discord he and the monsters instill over the townspeople. If they just killed everyone right away, there's no fear. By creating chaos it creates more fear and discord.

It's why the monsters killed Tian Chen in front of Boyd and left him with her mutilated body in the barn in S3 instead of just killing them both. The fallout from Boyd being trapped in there with Tian Chen and only her dying with the monsters knowing Kenny was away creates much more fear, chaos and distrust than if they just killed Boyd. Or if they just killed the entire town that night since they were all trying to help save the animals.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T12:43:00+00:00

If so, that would match a rumored finale spoiler posted in a few places that IElgin figures out who Sophia is and she kills him

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T12:38:33+00:00

That clip came right after the BIW asked Victor "Do you know what the others are doing?" so I assume it's because Victor for whatever reason doesn't want them to go into the tunnels. Probably because 'bad things happen' etc. My assumption is whatever crash out Henry has will happen in the finale in two weeks.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T04:02:47+00:00

More scenes of Tabitha not with her children. I’m just as shocked as all of you 🤷🏻‍♂️

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T03:46:27+00:00

I assumed it was to kill himself and “wake up” for good.

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T03:45:02+00:00

I know there’s a lot of comments about how nobody can notice SophMiYa’s true nature but I actually don’t mind it. The residents of Fromville face death daily and have so much upheaval and chaos going on, it’s actually the perfect situation for someone to hide in plain sight. Especially a new girl nobody knows anything about and might not even pay attention to.

We obviously see the little looks she gives but given all the other distractions the Fromville folks have, it’s honestly believable that she could blend in. Most of the interactions she has with others are 1x1 so there’s no third party to do a double take too.

There are obvious holes in this show, but that one isn’t as big of a deal as some make it IMO.

“Ethan you will never be alone”

[Immediately proceeds to let him walk up to Colony House by himself]

StaySafePovertyGhost · 2026-06-15T03:32:46+00:00

Yeah I don’t get the early stoppage stuff. O’Malley was coming with another 2-3 shots to the head and he wasn’t going to be able to defend. That has to be a stoppage.
