the memory story. I disagree
maybe it is just me.
I had some guests for another country once, I opened my home to them and made them comfortable. One day they just turned cold and left early. I had no idea why.
then 10 years later I was stepping into my den and I stepped in one spot and a memory came back at me. I said something meant to be humourous, and it was really crude and insulting and did not reflect how I felt, it was something I just said from phrases in my past. I knew it was horrible, their faces were shocked. I hae no idea how I got through that moment because I can't remember the whole thing just the moment of saying that horrible thing. I knew it was wrong, I think I tried to apologize, but I think they thought it meant what I really felt, which it did not. I don't believe it did. These people ran me ragged, since I am a long walk from the bus stop I offered to ride them back and forth, I was exhausted, they split into two groups and one was a morning groups and one a late night one. I think I got 3 hours sleep each night they were there. maybe there I was tryingto hurt them, who knows
the point it I know the exact words I said and I know they had horrified expressions on their faces. then next few years people whispered about me, when I met their other friends at events. People were even hypercritical of me on line in the group we had met in. it happened an it happened exactly as I remember it.
but don't sympathize with me, I never apologized and it has been another 10 years, the people from my house are still not talking to me, but I don't blame them the one phrase was pretty horrible. aAnd there is some residual nastiness from their friends. I deserved it, but I can't think of any appropriate apology.
An more harmless example. I worked with a woman who could have appeared on the 600 lb life. We were friends, I thought she was really funny. She said something to me once, and I said it was big of her to say that. That was an expression of my youth. She got really mad and stopped talking to me for a week but then we were friends again, I don't remember how. that was not nearly as bad and I don't want to say what I said in this case because it was so much worse.

Last night’s show was painful to watch. On several levels. I can’t take watching such absolute agony.

Unnecessarily gory and punative. Awful stuff. I muted the sound, and fast-forwarded past the worst of it. If you saw last might've ep, you know exactly what I'm referring to. (Shudder)

That last sentence should read: 'If you saw last night's ep,' (etc)

That’s what I did too Mameb! I don’t know why they had to get that gory and exude that much pain. We would have been able to get the gist without the closeups and screaming.

I had to cover my eyes for most of it. Agree it was not necessary to the story line.

Just seemed realistic to me, I guess. I know it is acting, not real life. Real life suffering, not my entertainment..
But some scripted shows with killing , nope. I made it through one episode of Game of Thrones, for instance. And that Flight Attendant show.. one episode. So just being scripted doesn't mean I like it.
But I know people who love animals but won't watch shows with surgery (vet and zoo shows) and I love those.
