idek if it's the british in me but i love asking people what they're having for dinner...
so. reblog this and tell me what you're having or had for dinner?
Chicken Caprese with zucchini fries. CC is great for a diet--all the tomato/cheese goodness without the pasta.
Whoa—Lady F. as Hamlet’s moms!!?!? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/theater/hamlet-luke-thallon-royal-shakespeare-company.html#:~:text=Theater%20Review-,A%20Rising%20Star%20Rides%20the%20Stormy%20Seas%20in%20a%20Maritime,Royal%20Shakespeare%20Company's%20latest%20production.&text=In%20the%20Royal%20Shakespeare%20Company's%20new%20“Hamlet%2C”%20the%20Danish,all%20at%20sea%20—%20quite%20literally.
Mrs Devine woke up way to calmly to a dead body next to her in bed. Like she got up and looked at the guy like she realized she left the oven on. And this guy way bloody.
Also, clear evidence of favoritism by Sullivan in that he didn't immediately arrest Mrs Devine despite the fact that if it was literally anyone else she'd be cuffed in less than 5 seconds.
The whole plot made no sense (and made Sullivan’s character essentially worthless.) Since when does the real Sullivan let _suspects_ pressure him into arresting someone? (Man, he’s lost some serious brain cells since Curse Of Amonhotep. 🙄🙄) Devine didn’t even know the victim, much less have a motive. At worst, she’d have been a material witness. And why for the love of God would Sullivan leave no police presence at the crime scene and run off to tend to Devine-on-her-fainting-couch? That almost got Father Brown and everyone else killed.
Okay father brown season 12 commencing .. SO MANY THOUGHTS ALREADY AND ONLY SEEN THE INTRO BIT
sooo sullivan being in a drama about the beginnings of kembleford first off like he's so much more comfortable in his own skin and taking an interest in the village ITS HIS HOME NOW I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS 😭😭😭
he enjoyed fake m*rdering fr b wayyy too much
SULLIVAN DADDDDDD
sullivan enjoying acting is sooo something i didn't appreciate in that other season. likeee the idea that he feels so much more comfortable pretending to be someone else .... obsessed i missed him
TELL ME MR SULLIVAN DOESNT THINK... MRS D AND FR BROWN ARE...
brenda palmer i love youuuuu
SULLIVAN CALLING HIS DAD SIR ... ITS SO GOOD I CANTTTT IVE NEARLY WAITED A WHOLE DECADE FOR SCENES LIKE THIS.. CHEWING AND BITING AND CLAWING AND BARKING
"maybe edgar takes after his mother" REAL AF do we get to meet her too i deserve it
brenda Very interested in joan of ark dressing as a man i feel
no one likes daddy sullivan booo BUT HES RIGHT mrs devine meddling in sull's cases IS a conflict of interest im glad the writers acknowledge it with those exact words lol like lets not pretend it wont cause problems
actually it obsessed with mrs d giving the evidence to father brown instead of HER FIANCE DETECTIVE INSPECTOR
"not all doors are in the wall" is genuinely such a funny wording to me
terrified now that mrs devine is gonna get pregnant
Yep, I figured that too. No way will the showrunner not opt for yet another cheap-sentimental chance to make us give a hoot about Devine--and score points off Sullivan-becoming-a-dad no matter how age-ridiculous it is.
Was discussing this with a friend and I think we need to start questioning the larger implications of whatever is going on in the Father Brown Cinematic Universe
The going theory is that Felicia and Monty are some weird time power based fae and Kembleford is stuck in a 10 year not quiet Groundhog day event due to their marriage issues. I mean think about it! The season immediately after Felicia and Monty make up (and the first time Monty is on screen) is also the first season where they go forward not just one year but two!
I still haven’t come up with a better theory than this :D
Will be interested to know what year it is in the new series - has time progressed from 1955 in the last series or are Felicia and Monty at odds again?
Heh. I'd bet this is a case of careless production design--typical of how slipshod FB has been since S10. But the fae theory is cool.
I would love to say this was a new problem but since it has been simultaneously June and October in the same episode as far back as series 4 this kind of carelessness has been going on for a long time 😆 I just hoped they had finally decided to move on and let time progress. I suppose they fear hitting the sixties if they let time carry on but it makes plotting fic a nightmare. in the meantime we have the fae 😁
Shoot, I says the hell wit canon if the writers don’t give a darn…or can’t be bothered to keep track.🤣😈 Why sweat it? So long as ff writers do good/consistent characterization and stories, all is good. And fanfic has been a blessed relief compared to how awful these last two seasons have been.

Naomi Wolf thinks her computer is being hacked for endorsing Trump but she's not even claiming it in a "they hijacked my computer" sense. She's claiming secret elite Democratic Party hackers are making her phone go not responding once, making her cursor drift a bit, and disconnecting her wifi intermittently. Which to be fair would be really funny and they should do that
"All coincidentally" Yeah, it is! Rhodes Scholar with degrees from Yale & Oxford who advised a Presidential campaign, everyone!!!
I should note she earned her degree from Oxford years later, and with a thesis that was the first draft of the book she wrote that was debunked live on the air in the middle of a radio interview
What the hell happened to her? The Beauty Myth was brilliant...
TV discourse always acts like the show is responding to criticism in real time. "They changed that in response to what people said on Twitter last week" about a episode that was filmed several months to a year ago
My favorite was the writers of Lost, who did admit they killed off Nikki and Paulo bc of fan backlash, but also by all accounts they just organically realized "wow! This idea sucks shit" and started minimizing their role before their episodes even aired (their debut episode had a whole introductory subplot they cut, in favor of them just showing up at random). Which in turn made Nikki and Paulo seem even more pointless and get hated even more
Lost was a mess from the start. The book Burn It Down goes into great and grisly detail how the POC characters got shafted.
Finding out that people fighting you on voting for Harris are Stein supporters who actually embrace the possibility of a trump victory shouldn't surprise me. But I thought that people couldn't actually be that stupid as to believe that trump winning will send anyone a message besides run.
There are people who don't know how bad things can get who naively think we can weather another Trump term, and that the left will somehow come out stronger.
Which is a fantasy.
What will really happen is a bunch more people will die, and the country will be permanently set back another twenty years.
It ain't great.
They are toxic idealists who just want chaos/to endlessly whine. That is all they really believe in.
When the Game of Thrones guys announced they were doing a "what if the Confederacy won the war" show they framed it like no one had asked the question before? As if there wasn't an entire genre where that plot was such a routine one there's a whole family of Confederacy AU cliches. And they may have been pretending - since this was the first Prestige (TM) take on it - but I'd like to imagine they really did no research and thought they were creating the alternate history genre for the first time. So good for culture that show was cancelled tbh
Media Executive: "I have a wild new idea for something that has never been done before."
Media Executive: *proceeds to read off a list of all the cliches associated with a century-old literary genre*
CEO: "Brilliant. Here's a pile of cash, ten litres of kerosene, and a box of matches."
They seem to have made the assumption that, like, having "prestige" media people involved would inherently make it better. It's like when a literary novelist tries to make a fantasy novel without understanding the genre, they just end up regurgitating decades-old cliches since they don't know any better while assuming they're breaking new ground
And seeing how the Trump presidency basically IS a neo-Confederate victory (racist traitors to the country taking power and trying to destroy it) it's not like we needed the fantasy version anyway.
Indeed. Given how bad GOT was screwed up, these guys would not have had the even-handedness and cold objective eye to make this material more than MAGA bait.
"20 episodes are bad, because you can't keep up quality" Nobody can keep up consistent quality in most 13 episode seasons either. Or 10 episodes. Sherlock had three episodes a season and each one still had one episode fans considered underwhelming
Strange New Worlds only has ten episodes a year & "what if we ripped off Omelas but made it a mystery box" still made it past the gate somehow
But Sherlock suffered from introducing Moriarty way too soon because the creators weren't sure how many seasons they'd actually get. That messed with the storyline considerably, for the writers were forced to play their biggest face cards too early in the show's run.
First there was DeSantis & now there's activist investor Nelson Peltz trying to take over Disney's board bc he "doesn't get" why there should be movies with all-female or all-black casts. All-time pair of unbelievably worse guys making us say "well you do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Disney, but,"
Over here in reality the Black Panther movies have grossed over two billion dollars and are the only MCU films to be nominated for major awards, but this business genius doesn't tackle simpleton factors like "looking at which amount of money is higher". You don't get to be an activist investor by knowing how businesses work. You get to be an activist investor by making a lot of money in ambiguous ways and then using that money to force other companies to listen to your dogshit ideas that will lose them a lot of money. Who needs Box Office Mojo when you can just show everyone a "go woke go broke" meme and declare that the people will rally around your segregationist campaign for the Disney board
I think the icing on the cake is that the guy running for a film studio's board to ask "but what about WHITE Panther!?" is the father of the actress who played Katara in the The Last Airbender movie. Someone find Racebending dot com I think we've found their nemesis
It's surprising to learn the activist investor trying to take over Disney's board isn't an AI Guy. That's because there's a second activist investor running with the aim of making Disney become leaders in AI and "spatial computing". Because as they say, "Disney will never be valued as a technology company so long as it does not think like a technology company", proposing that they use ChatGPT to meet characters, and have an app that plans your day at Disney parks with AI, something they have already been doing since 2021. But they also want Disney to spin off the parks and invest in virtual reality instead.
The AI guy hates the racist guy for the record, but only because he's unqualified and a "distraction" from their scheme to replace Disneyland with ChatGPT Character Chats
BREAKING NEWS: The "why do we have to make movies about black people" guy lost his election for Disney board! So have the "let's sell Disney World and replace it with Decentraland" people! Power has been retained by the evil people we're familiar with, which is at least better than one of the world's biggest media companies having to win the approval of someone demandin' to know why they've got so many mouthy broads in the pictures these days
To celebrate his defeat, feel free to smoke that shit that makes you see pink elephants on parade, and that makes Wish look almost watchable
#good riddance #for cryin' out loud--how many of these right-wing billionaire bastards are out there? 🤮 #heh--never mess with Da Mouse 😂
1) Eddie, my dude. Come _on_. You cannot expect your mother to live in a glass case wearing sackcloth and ashes forever. Your objections to her moving the furniture or dressing different make no sense--though her not giving you your dad's deathbed message _was_ ridiculous. Enough. Stay in London and move on with your life.
2) That said, anyone who hands the still-vapid, still-simpering, grimacing, hopelessly show-offy, rock-stupid Devine her head so consistently deserves high praise from every much-tried former FB fan out here. And your moments humiliating her were things of beauty---especially after the wife-carrying and her insufferable unerotic clinch with Sullivan. Team Eddie--let loose the dogs of war, baby!!! 🤣😈😂🤣😂
Gee, I can't _imagine_ who this sounds like...😈🤣🤮

Whoa. Sullivan is having a _really_ bad night...
And he thought ghouls, goblins, witches, and Welkin were bad. 😂🤣👀😈
intriguing 👀
As it turns out, this man is KING of understatements. A bit different? Chucking out 5 out of 7 regulars and ruining a returning character is ‘a bit different’? What would he have called ‘very different’? Father Brown in space? Father Brown committing all the murders?
He’s also terrible at predictions. ‘You’re going to love it’. Well he might have wished that, but it didn’t happen. Far from it.
But I still love him 😃
He and Goodfellow I still love. Thank god the show at least kept him.
But Season 10 was a huge disappointment. There was no chemistry with the new characters. Half the performances felt dialed in, as if they filmed dress rehearsals. The writing was mediocre. And I don't watch Father Brown for the mysteries so much as for the characters. So with both wanting, the season just made me sad.
I wonder if they'll do Season 11?
They are just about done shooting S11. And I’m frankly dreading it because it doesn’t sound like they’ve fixed the big problems here. (Ugh-a whole season of “Pretty Vacant” Devine solving all of Sullivan’s problems; rendering him a lovelorn idiot instead of the smart, fascinating person he is; doing more dumb sleuthing; and finally preening as Sullivan’s bride is a gruesome prospect.) In all honesty, I wonder if the show was supposed to end with S9 since it seems a lot of the original cast/crew went on to other projects--but the BBC decided to bring it back because of that sweet Britbox/PBS money. Unfortunately, the replacements simply aren’t cutting it. Given the online reaction to S10, more of the same is just going to result in cancellation--so the point is probably moot.
arrrrgh. I was afraid of that. I wish it had ended with S9. Then I wouldn’t have to witness my much loved series devolve into the limpness of a wet paper towel. The characters, and actors, deserve better.
I believe PBS money is one of the reasons, if not the main reason, too many series are resurrected or kept beyond their prime. Inspector Lewis being a perfect example. The producers don’t understand that they destroy everything that built the original audience. We don’t watch a series just because it’s Father Brown or what have you. We watch it to enjoy the characters and settings we love. Remove the supporting elements, such as certain actors or how the characters interact, and the entire thing collapses. Which is why I can’t stand Death In Paradise after Season 2.
*sigh* I just hope they don’t fuck up Moonflower Murders . . .
Streaming profits is a big part of it, too. Netflix, etc., make money out of how long subscribers hang with them, so having popular series dragged out beyond their sell-by date is to their advantage. I liked the Humphrey DIP era, but drifted away after that.
