[S5E11] James K's Story
My 600-Lb Life has received criticism for its treatment of cast members, and its production company was recently involved in a lawsuit. The suit alleged that My 600-Lb Life caused emotional damage to its cast, and purposefully misrepresented their struggles. One former star even claimed that the producers of the show would force her to eat on camera to manufacture a storyline. Although the lawsuit against My 600-Lb Life was ultimately dropped, whether the series helped its stars is debatable. James will be remembered for his efforts to make life better for himself and his family.
This is the Go Fund Me page that they referenced in the episode. They raised around $450, which is nothing-especially considering that every news station in the state carried the story (including the ones where I live and I am several hours away). It's interesting because there was recently a local lady raising money for surgery for her cat and SHE reached $3,000. Oh well.
Rest in peace. My 600-lb Life alum James King died at the age of 49 on Friday, April 3, his obituary confirms. The former TV personality passed away at Saint Thomas Midtown Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, following a long history of health issues.
King made his debut on My 600-lb Life in 2017, weighing 791 pounds during his first visit with Dr. Younan Nowzaradan (a.k.a. Dr. Now). Fans were especially touched by his story after seeing his father refinance his home to help support his fitness goals. At the time, King was bedridden and eager to make a change. When the father of six returned for the follow-up episode in 2018, he opened up about his setbacks and had reached 840 pounds.
This episode starts off with a strong pitch from Sara Rose, the co-founder of healthcare startup Tribecan, who showcases her long history within her niche, her business expertise and her willingness to negotiate. This last aspect is particularly noticeable for the judges when Rose asks for a $75,000 investment without specifying her company's valuation.

On October 28, 2007, HBO aired a preview of the fifth season featuring interviews with Lance Reddick, Tom McCarthy, David Simon, Clark Johnson, John Doman, Seth Gilliam, Wendell Pierce and Dominic West and footage from the fifth season. Reddick introduced the idea of the fifth season being about the media. McCarthy stated that it examines how the media "reflects, informs and manipulates". Simon observed that "the more graphic our crime, the more we like it, the more we pay attention. There is a little bit of a mockery of that in what we've constructed for season five". Johnson noted that newsroom storyline is fascinating and "a great way to end the series". Doman warned viewers to expect "complexities and complications". Gilliam says that there is "creativity" in how people approach their jobs. Pierce noted that all the characters have to make choices. West revealed that McNulty goes outside the system due to his lack of faith in his superiors. Simon concluded by saying that the season is really about "just how far you can go on a lie". The footage included scenes of Greggs being quizzed by reporters; reporters reflecting on why crime in certain areas is not covered; low morale in the police department; Carver briefing Western district officers; McNulty drinking; William Moreland refusing to get involved with something and Fitz telling McNulty that "you guys are shut out across the board".[5]

You can thank Holmes and Jackson for that storyline. "[The couple] had instant chemistry. [Laughs.] We all saw that and we were like, 'OK, uh, [do we pair them up in] season three? Season two?!' The show was about the soulmate question of Dawson and Joey," Williamson told The Hollywood Reporter. (opens in new tab) "We saw that chemistry between Katie and Josh and decided it would be the thing that breaks up Dawson and Joey and that it would come between Dawson and Pacey's friendship."
More than 20 years later, Kerr Smith, who played Jack McPhee, reflected on his character's storyline and said he felt a huge responsibility to handle it correctly, as there weren't many same-sex relationships on TV at the time.

But, I'm glad we did it and it was part of history."

When Caroline went on the run from Rayna Cruz with her twin daughters, Josie and Lizzie, she decided to go to New Orleans, both because she believed Klaus could help keep her safe and because of the St. James Infirmary, a bar protected against magic. When Josie asked her where they were going, Caroline explained that they were going to New Orleans "to visit Mommy's friend." However, when Caroline arrived at the bar, she was horrified to learn that Klaus had vanished several years earlier and hadn't been heard from since. This worried her greatly. About a decade after that, she told Klaus that the reason that she went to look for him straight away, was because she knew deep down that he was never the villain in her story.
Later, Klaus approaches Caroline outside whilst she is watching a horse and they discuss their respective relationships with their late fathers. Klaus relays a story of how one of his horses was once killed as his father tried to kill him. Again, Caroline reminds him that she is a good person and likes people and people like her, unlike him. She then turns and walks away. He also shows her his collection of art, revealing that he is also an amateur artist and that her bracelet had once belonged to "a princess almost as beautiful as her." She rolls her eyes after hearing this causing Klaus to grimace slightly at her rejection of his compliment.
Caroline then goes to spend time with Klaus thinking it'll be his last night alive, watching Hope dance with a "townie". She tells him that despite their past experiences together, she realized she never saw him as the villain of her story, which moves Klaus amd rests his forehead on hers. With the ring of the clocktower, Caroline pulls away and leaves to prepare for the ritual. However, she stays far away to which Alaric explains to Klaus, "she couldn't watch you die." Klaus seems to respect that choice as he gets ready. 041b061a72
