Round 2: The Postmistress, the West Wing, and the Last Five Years
28 minutes Posted Mar 7, 2017 at 10:00 pm.
The Postmistress: Catherine did not appreciate the way the author, Sarah Blake, needlessly killed off a character at the end of this book. But things are going badly for all the fictional characters we spent time with this week. 06:13 The West Wing: The doom is right there in the title of this week's episode, "The Fall's Gonna Kill You" (but it's still a winner, as is the accompanying episode of the West Wing Weekly podcast). Next up: "18th and Potomac." 15:34 Challenge Round: Terri challenged Catherine to watch the movie The Last Five Years—in which no one dies, but two people make each other very, very unhappy. (Mentioned: Linda Holmes' ranking of the sad songs herein.) For next time, Catherine challenged Terri to (finally!) watch an episode of Downton Abbey (season 1, episode 1).
