The dude was cringe and only Mary seemed to get it. And don't get me started about Johnny & Old Man Tucker episode.

Ok, so I'm watching the movie length LH Bless All the Dear Children, 1984, and they're saying it's Christmas time. What? The trees have leaves, and the flowers are blooming. This is too much. The episode starts out with snow-covered pine trees and mountains, etc. Lol. I'm sure this episode is filmed in So Cal, but this is pretty funny. There aren't mountains like that in southern Minnesota, and there wouldn't be leaves on trees at Christmas. My Grandpa told me when I was a kid that he wouldn't watch LH because there weren't mountains/hills like that on a true prairie. (?) I always thought he was nit picking, but....

Thanks for letting me vent!

Maybe it’s just my hearing but it seems every character pronounces Caroline as Lynn ending but Harriet says it like line.

Am I hearing things or does she just not care how to say her name

That is, tv canon. Not necessarily what happened in the books.

I know ML blew up the town so the network couldn’t use it, but I like to think they eventually make their way back to walnut grove and rebuild it.

I think either Laura or Charles would be the one(s) who’d push to buy the land back, and then everyone comes together to purchase a small portion, so then they all own parts of walnut grove and slowly remake it.

But that’s just wishful thinking on my part. Realistically, they’d probably all just go their separate ways. Find work where they can. Slowly lose touch.

But let’s be honest, Little House wasn’t too *realistic* anyway.

Too good to be altogether

Which do I read first? I have a free audible credit so which would be best audiobook? which do I skip? what are the differences?!

We just moved from Pennsylvania to AZ, and I’ve said to my husband how small you feel out here. The sky goes on forever. It was mentioned in the books I know. I truly understand it now.

I say this to my mother all the time she hates it

I think there’s been a lot of backlash around the costumes in the new show, but i think a lot of us have our own notions of what folks were wearing on the prairie that aren’t actually founded in historic truth. I love the og series and the costumes but I’m not the first person to say they’re far from accurate

Even if you’ve seen every single episode millions of times, what are some scenes that never get old for you and you could watch over and over?

For me, it’s:

1. When Charles makes his speech to Caroline in The Richest Man in Walnut Grove. Super romantic and she did look beautiful!

2. Another Charles moment: in Troublemaker, where he confronts Mr. Applewood and tells him that *he’s* the problem, that he should thank his wife for promising to be nice to him, and breaks his stick.

3. Mary’s “showdown” with Miss Peale. You. Can’t. Read.

4. “Nellie, your mother wants you!”

5. Charles telling Harriet that Solomon is his child. The look of mischief on his face is great, and her reaction is hilarious.

These are the ones I can think of on the top of my head but I’m sure there’s more.
