Weve got snakes and border collies this week.
Also, locked room forced friendship!
In other news, I am somewhat rueing Tristans return.
We had such a good thing going with James, Siegfried, Mrs. Hall, and Richard.
And I guess Helen also.
(Id say farm girl, but they have to share a room with Richard.)
Every time he shows up in a knitted ensemble, I am so happy.
More shots of Jimmy!
Havent we earned them already this year?
James is taking care of a cow belonging to Mr. Crabtree, the farmer whose herd had brucellosis.
So he is understandably easily anxious about his cows now.
This one (Rose) wont eat, so James prescribes linseed oil for indigestion.
Do you think maybe through experience?
Fix your head, sir.
But also, yes, that postman seems very annoying.
James loses hisshitat the dog right in front of Helen.
They go to The Drovers and shes like Heyyyyy, so…that seemed weird.
Okay, so thats a thing.
Do you want more info?
Nah, thats okay.
Sure, I raged at that dog, but Im fine.
I just dont love it, James.
Also, imagine a world before therapy was normalized, i.e.
most of human existence.
Excitingly,Richardhas returned.
Yes, very good, Richard.
Why do I feel like Im about to spend my precious time off in a library?
Tristan, its like you dont even know the demographic of the show you dont know youre on.
Do I want to go to a pub with Smug Tristan or discuss bacterium characteristics with Richard?
Wow, what a hard choice, said no one who watchesAll Creatures Great and Small.
Later, everyone at Skeldale is busy but Tristan.
Tristan tries to get people to go to The Drovers.
Look how cozy everyone is.
Just grab a book and sit in the armchair.
Theres a fireright there, along with three dogs.
I know Tristan feels left out, but I have absolutely no sympathy for him here.
He could sit and talk with James and Helen in the living room if he wants company.
The next morning, they fight over a piece of toast like grown men.
The practice gets a call about a snake on the loose over at Mrs. Pumphreys estate.
One of the soldiers seems to have smuggled it in.
I do not know why.
Snakes vary widely in size and color!
Same overall shape, though.
Just a bunch of ss of various sizes.
Anyway, its fine, and Richard chats up a wounded soldier.
Richard and the soldier talk about Dickens and snakes, and its super cute.
I support a boyfriend for Richard!
Except for the horrors of living as a queer person in the 1940s.
(And also now!)
Wounded Soldier mentions a girlfriend, and my hopes are dashed as to what the show is planning here.
They can get up to thirty-three feet in length, which is bananas.
They just sit and wait to be discovered.
Are Richard and Tristan a useless pairing?
James brings Shep the Border Collie some food as an apology for shouting at him (James!
), and Shep, in turn, runs and scares the annoying postman (Shep!
Thats so nice!).
We all know youre the parents!
Just getmarried; its been five seasons.
Then wed havethreecouples living in Skeldale.
