Water taxi is by far the easiest (and most expensive) way to get to Venice from the station. If I had spent an entire train ride from Paris to Venice with someone and they then offered me a lift on their water taxi I would take it without question.
It's his money and he can leave it however he wants. His children, their spouses, and his grandchildren had been living off of him for years (whole lives?). Only Jamie Lee Curtis' character had made anything of the money he gave them and he didn't approve of her husband or the way they raised their son. The truth is that they all considered his money to be "their" money and his house to be "their" house (despite the fact that it was purchased after his children were already old enough to have been well out of the house). They were all entitled mooches and should have been cut off years sooner.
While some people try to keep their money in the family (and often leave the bulk of their estate to only one heir; usually through Primogeniture.), some exceptionally wealthy people have made it very public that they intend to leave their children/family very little and leave the vast bulk of their estates to charity. The basic idea is that their children have been raised in privilege and should be able to build their own lives without an inheritance.
There would have been no pressure angle for the family to use to blackmail her into giving them the money. Besides, we don't know that he hadn't already offered and she refused. It's one thing to accept money willed to you and another to accept charity.
In the bar fight scene the retired sheriff said that the townspeople somehow blamed Tom for the original murders and possibly the deaths of the miners when he was just a kid who had nothing to do with either. Bitterness is a better motive than most horror movie killers. Though at then end he does claim to be possessed by Tom...
Totally agree with your correction. I especially get annoyed when this type of person hasn't even watched the show, but is judging based on a two sentence blurb about the show or a 30 second preview.
I don't think the OP is agreeing with the article. My take is that Satan2016 is just making us aware that social justice warriors are on the attack.
I have watched TP 3 times all the way through and my take on the Josie story has always been that she is Triad. That she is tied to a Triad family and was sent to Washington to marry the mill owner, kill him, inherit the mill, sell the mill, and take the money back to Hong Kong. The local sheriff is no match for a Triad boss. A long con for sure, but the payout is there. Very little in the way of expenses and a $5 million payout.
There wouldn't be much point to a murder mystery program if no one got murdered. It is presumed that we are supposed to suspend disbelief. My mum has a friend who is a mystery writer who once had her protagonist experience a mental breakdown because of how often she (sometimes literally) tripped over bodies. I think that American friend of yours was having you on! Here in California the city of Oakland is infamous for its murder rate and they only had 85 murders in all of 2016 with a population of not quite 425,000 (and many of those were gang related).
My husband and I frequently joke about Midsomer. I wonder that there is still anyone in Midsomer County who doesn't immediately leave any activity as soon as they realize that Joyce Barnaby had joined.
1) Yes, it was bullying, but I think Clay saw it as justice/retribution. He was giving Tyler "a taste of his own medicine".
2) Clay either lied because he is not ready to deal with Jeff's death and/or it suits the plot better as we do not yet know about Jeff's death.
3) She made a bad decision. She is already pretty broken and she is giving fitting in one last chance. Yes, she stripped down to her underwear and got into the tub with a group of people who were questionable when it comes to determining whether they were her friends (I'm pretty sure I actually hated some of my HS friends). However, her underwear covered more than many bathing suits. Would you be questioning if she had had a bathing suit on?
Right?! Thank you!
