The body on the beach is not the driver!

Now that I thnk of it, I wish we'd seen a cut to her apartment with all the warmup pumpkin carvings of his face.

Honestly the most memorable Sarah line in this episode is "Your Snow Patrol CD."

Guys, Troy was so great. That Ashmore is on a SyFy show called Killjoys now, and shocker he's great. Aaron Ashmore is the best Ashmore. Shawn's pretty good too though.
Definitely room in my heart for both Ashmores. Re Killjoys, doesn't he play a buttoned-up gay character?

Am now imagining my mother as a P.I. and it...doesn't NOT work? (I bet John sees it.)
She's got the salty language part down, hee.

Forgive me for forgetting already, but I don't recall if you guys mentioned Weevil's crying at Lilly's memorial? I remember being very intrigued by that, even as Jake Kane was also setting off my Leland Palmer bells.
I think we didn't mention it in this episode, but we definitely reference it in the future!

Not sure who we can hate on in GIF form here! We'll work on it.
Willing to try.

Thanks for the info about school counselors! ...especially because Veronica could really use one when she applies to college, but WE'LL GET TO THAT.
50 minutes ago, topanga said:True, the producers have said that Duncan was bipolar. And had a seizure disorder. But maybe in this episode Camille/Celeste was calling them anti-depressants to make Duncan feel more 'normal.' Or maybe she thought they were antidepressants, not antipsychotics.
I will say that although Sarah and John made fun of that corny PSA moment, that scene actually helped me get the help I'd been needing for years. I'd struggled with depression for a long time but always felt that taking medication was a sign of weakness. Camille/Celeste planted an annoying little bug in my ear to remind me how common and treatable depression really is.
That's awesome. We need more effective PSAs about mental health, in my opinion. (Preferably better-acted ones, but still.)

New theory for @Sarah D. Bunting and @Tara Ariano re Erica: They wrote her as a slow five-year-old to forestall questions about why she couldn't pick up a phone and call Dylan from Brazil instead of trying and failing to leave a gum note.

I had totally forgotten about Jen's horny church boy love interest
If @Sarah D. Bunting hadn't killed me, I would want to go rewatch the ep where Grams epically smacked him down for his churchy homophobia.

Thanks so much for spitting up this piece!

@Sarah D. Bunting "And they neeeeeever saw him again."

I think @David T. Cole was just mad that the Canon submission wasn't "Home" from The X-Files again.

That article must've been written awhile back because I sure don't see Baz as an appealing father figure! Although I can see that he seemed that way at first.
True, and yeah, the last 2-3 eps have not been good for that theory.

I love you, but Patrick deserves a ranking on this list. xo
Both of us were at least a couple eps behind when we wrote these; wasn't clear he was going to recur. Otherwise we definitely would have included him!

Wait, no "groin in-ju-ry" rap?! A classic, if there ever was one.
I couldn't do that to everyone/myself. But it is on YouTube.

@Nick Rheinwald-Jones: I actually had several straight male friends who watched it, but they were nerdier types who were less hung up on the masculinity of the activity. It's funny to think that Seinfeld was the first time I realized it could be a shameful secret.

@Tara Ariano, Veep has been so good this season that it inspired me to do a rewatch while the current season is still going on, and you'll be happy to know that when Selina first becomes President, there's a bit about how Canada will get hurt feelings if it's not her first foreign visit, and she's basically like, "Fuck 'em! What are they gonna do about it?"

I had to send @John Ramos VHS tapes of Buffy S7 when he lived in England. Then we would alternate who called whom to discuss the eps because long-distance calls still cost money back then.
For that shitburger of a season, we did this.
I still remember opening a package to find a VHS tape with the title "Lies My Parents Told Me (Like That This Show Is Good)."

I'm biased by my longtime love for Speedy, but I think he's really good in the Baz role. He's aged into being able to play somewhat paternal pretty well.
SpoilerI'm a little worried about the fate of the character, though, given that IIRC his analog in the movie died a horrible death. This show seems like it'd Go There in terms of killing a main character, but without Baz it gets less interesting to me.

Hella creepy... and even creepier? I watched this with my grandfather who had never seen an episode, and when The Man from Another Place was on screen and talking my grandfather said to me "Why did they turn on the subtitles? Is it for people hard of hearing? He's speaking English so I don't understand why there are subtitles!" and was all annoyed by the subtitles... I didn't correct him or say anything, but I was screaming inside.
Yeah, I didn't even want to get into the reverse-reverse speech. So unsettling.
