There's something to be said for that. I watched the PBS version of Murder on the Orient Express a couple of weeks ago, and if I hadn't already read the novel, I would have been completely lost.

I've never served it in bikini cups, just figured the broth would run through too quickly.

And I miss having a couch so much!

Oh, right now, I'm testing a new avvy!

you have a young person's back and tailbone still. and you are officially only allowed drunken, stoned, sleepy or otherwise questionable cat critters as your avy. thought we had been through this before!

I'm kinda here, myself.
Kinda over there, too.
Mostly here.
Some of me is out sick.
Some of me is out to lunch.
But the me we've all grown to know and love is here.
Kinda.
Mostly.

I thought this so profound; I immediately downloaded the book from Amazon to get the exact wording for use in the quotes thread. Well, guess what? There's nothing in the book even remotely similar to the line David Suchet uttered on the show.

I wonder where that line originated? with the television scriptwriters? from another Christie book? was it an ad-lib by Suchet?

All I know for sure is that I just blew $6.99 on a book to which I know the ending.

Uh Oh. Bet it was from the script.

Glad it came back and hope it stays that way!

My new one seems fine since they replaced the power supply. I just gave my previous one to my son to use for his graduate school work so I hope this one doesn't fail again or I'm in a bad place. At least everything is backed up...

I'm currently looking at the makings of lunch - which have been sat on my desk for 3/4 of an hour. I'm very hungry (skipped breakfast), and it's manic at work! Am just about to start making it now, I hope

No you didn't - you don't know the ending! The real ending, that is! The script is almost totally UNLIKE the book - WAY different - viewers have been complaining - esp. this year - about liberties taken by screenwriters with the new Marple and Poirot episodes. I couldn't believe the changes for this episode. Read the book - it will be a new experience for you!

I tried to stay up and watch it, but couldn't .... early to bed, early to rise...shoulda recorded it.
