I don't know what the story is with that. And "it sells" doesn't work for me as an excuse. However, in the absence of more reasonable minds, thank goodness for blurring!

He was not allowed to discipline her lippy son and still felt as though he was a guest in their home.<br /><br />That's why it surprised me when he softened towards her as they planned another wkend at their friends houseRicrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837529281561239268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455367558229908000.post-55882603919429581082013-04-18T13:18:36.656-04:002013-04-18T13:18:36.656-04:00PS: Mind you the scene where Paul (Richard) gets i...PS: Mind you the scene where Paul (Richard) gets into bed with the nanny was rather good!

His arguments with Julie Graham just didn't seem to ring true. Of course Richard's acting prowess has come on in leaps and bounds since then, and to be honest I never liked his character or the drama for that matter, he's better than that.Suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455367558229908000.post-10604247220273217292013-04-18T12:50:19.678-04:002013-04-18T12:50:19.678-04:00Re: Throwing hay.

Although I do suspect he might've purchased land and/or a residence in NZ. Therefore, considering he had/has a strong interest in his equine co-stars and probably wants to keep his riding skills honed, I'd say there's a great chance that RA has thrown hay at some point, if not on a regular basis.Ricrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837529281561239268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455367558229908000.post-35347935696327270312013-04-18T11:48:18.937-04:002013-04-18T11:48:18.937-04:00Hi, Ricrar!

It's pretty much a requisite for horses. You think RA knows how to do that?<br /><br />I have bought the anger of RA's characters in pretty much everything except for Moving On.

While maintaining composure (inside and out) is certainly a virtue in my book, so is righteous indignation (and ACTION!!!) in the face of harming of innocents. I believe we have a tendency to condemn those who protect (police, military)...and while there are certainly problems there, there is still a whole lot of need for them, unfortunately.

John Thornton wasn't exactly a lamb after one of the rioters hit Mgt with the stone. <br /><br />Other than the bad-tempered kings Thorin and Guy of Gisborne, I'd say Porter is a close third.

I don't believe it for a moment! Maybe his characters start to take over his brain after a while and he gets mixed up. I remember him describing himself as 'quiet and placid', which is a far cry from being mean and moody. (Although he did make himself sound a bit like a pet labrador, when he said that.
