Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.. but, I don't think a cousin's daughter is considered your niece.. she would be your second cousin. A niece or nephew is a child from your sibling.

honestly don't know how it is in the USA but in Poland a cousin's daughter is not considered to be your niece...in fact I don't think there is any word for cousin's children...they are simply 'my cousin's son or daughter' ;D a niece or nephew is a sibling's kid

BTW we do have a distinction between brother's son or daughter and sister's son or daughter

;Dactually my parents's cousins ' kids call my parents Aunt and Uncle, not simply by their first names.

yes, cousin's children are technically second cousins, then third- the list goes on- at least here it is. but sometime's it's just easier to refer to people as cousins if you're really close. so that may be what's going on.

I think it's just easier to call Ava his niece instead of cousin's daughter or the proper term for it. It's the same here, with second cousins and such as cousin's children, but it's just easier not to actually be specific. Saves time with speaking I suppose

At least we havent got onto the "he's my first cousin twice removed". Don't ask me to explain the "first cousin, once, twice etc removed" i think its some old way of detailing people's relations that my mother throughy enjoys using just to confuse myself and sister.

Bah, confusing old people, thats all i have to say about that.

[Rofy]

so... the daughter of the daughter of my grandmother's daughter would be my second cousin... right?

Here we say niece even if it's your second cousin... I think...

Man, all that is sooooooo confusing I always thought Marty was an only child, oh well, maybe I'm wrong... arrrrrgggghhhh... too confusing
*Rolls eyes and clutches head insanely*

[boushh]

I have to say this cousins discussion is pretty funny because I have the same exact confusing conversation with my second cousins every time we hand out together... at least I think they're my second cousins. LOL.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank SamanthaFitzgerald for the summary. I haven't seen some season 1 and 2 episodes and I've been missing some of Sam's backstory... so thanks for that!

Samantha..thank you for the awesome summary. I don't feel so lost anymore. ;D

[lorenhaze]

BTW, I had a question about MS...have they slept together? I read somewhere that they were about to perform the glorious deed, but Martin's cellphone rang? Please clarify and thanks in advance. ;D

[Josi]

in the season opener of S 3 "in the dark" they have a hot and steamy scene...take a look at the episode section. there you should find lots of stuff about it...

[lorenhaze]

Thank you Josi ;D I have so much to catch up on..it's becoming a mission, along of course with trying to lead a normal life. It's getting kind of difficult with WAT constantly on my mind..especially Martin and Sam. My fever is burning.......

[Josi]

I would say buy the dvd boxes, but since season 2 and 3 where only released here in europe...thus you have to read the episode threads...or you could take a look here

there you find transcripts of all episodes up to 4X16..this might help too
