I've seen people under the influence of prescription medication, and that's what I saw when I watched Patsy on that LKL interview - a woman heavily medicated. By her own admission, she was taking anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. My mother takes anti-anxiety meds. People on those pills come across as almost acting drunk - but not quite. They think and move slower than usual. They don't speak as clearly.
Why did you get the impression Thomas was the one stoned?
Lol, Where'd you get the impression that I had that impression?
I never said that. Just that if I watched it again since someone bringing up the subject of someone being stoned, I might jump to the conclusion that he was, who knows? I took pains to emphasize that it was just the one interview where I didn't think he did as well as you'd expect from his book, which I own and have used a lot, making notes in the margins.
I wasn't looking at any of the three with any malice, wouldn't have thought any of them were "stoned" for a TV show. I don't think any of them were. And I try to live by the principles, "Judge not that ye be not judged" which goes along with Any person has a right to be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Sorry about your mom's difficulty. Yes, I'm sure PR's could have been similar.
I've even thought of starting a thread giving ST credit for a most valuable LEAK, about the dictionary photo planted in the evidence folder.
He just reported it matter-of-factly and evidently didn't think about what it could mean. I bet he would have been fired for that leak and maybe some others, if he hadn't quit. He took some risks. And didn't he say, "The fix is in"? I sure wish he'd write another book. And include something about the duffle bag, everyone seems to ignore, but it could be important. ST's the one who told us there were no footprints in the frost on the covered balcony floor. Otherwise we may have always wondered if someone came in that way, like the attacker of the 14-yr old from Dance West.
