Affogato

Well if your current career falls through there may be a place for you in Hydra.

I have to say that don e is so likable that it is good that we see his bad sides fairly frequently. He’s like a cute dog that bites and pees on everything.

So here’s something disturbing. I rewatched a few episodes. Katty Kupps keeps on talking about brains in the digestive tract and how the flesh was dead longer than expected. So fast decomposition? Or dead and reanimated? How do Blaine and Major go back and forth?

I figure it is like the biting into a crisp apple sound vampires make. Very wtf. In reality it would make them very dangerous. A store clerk handing someone a wrapped package could easily infect them by accident.

I think the issue with Robin is that she is a child and this brings her out of a safer place into danger. While potentially confusing the issues even more with more future talk. It is a historical Nazi thing. Stormtroopers were given a German Shepherd at the beginning of their training and at the end of their training had to kill it with their bare hands. It may have been shoot the dogs It isn’t to prove you are a merciless killer. It is to show you will follow orders. Once you follow that order there are very few orders you won’t follow.

I think this is more likely. Also all of this has to be on the internet.

Chase didn’t want to kill renegade either. He felt he had no choice. Chase is, to quote the shadow hunters, a ‘the law is hard but it is the law’ person. I don’t know if we will get to know him enough to actually care but this would seem to be driving towards something. I wonder if Liv tries to smuggle Major out?

I wish this was a full season and I know I’m likely alone in that wish. Chase probably won’t last the season and we still have no idea why. Clearly he is flailing. Is he just unsuited to the job? Doesn’t he know not to make a martyr, either Renegade or the general’s daughter? Shouldn’t part of the deal with the government be research and observational troops? Why iant Knepper parked outside Blaine’s restaurants? Full on harassment? Is Liv nuts bringing anyone into the city who isn’t there already? Is the next season zombie apocalypse? It just seems like we need more i information and less buddy road trip.

Yes but there is an Italian song mama Leone and given the Italian references in Joel’s song I’m imginng that is why he used the name. Yes we probably all did, too. You are correct. No doubt about it. Theme the words. That’s the song.

Yes and it sort of fits the character. But it also is a vm reference and the VM reference could have come from the same song. Or the Italian song from the late 70s that Joel was probably referencing. Or the actual restaurants. It can be ‘all of the above’.

Mama Leone’s is just that kind of restaurant, presumably, and a Veronica Mars reference. As someone who lived in Canada for a while I personally thought they rode the stereotype hard. Also French Inspector. Really, show?

Where are the parents finding the medieval bedlams where they are sending the Pollys and Cheryls? Bet the first thing they are doing is having Cheryl declared incompetent.

Yes but they are also hinting strongly that it is necessary ( that Fitz gave into his dark side because his lighter half won’t do what needs to be done) so it may end up indirectly saving the situation. I predict it creates a fissure in the group and Daisy may never fully trust him even if she eventually accepts it.

Private prisons are run by private companies. They will get some money from the goverrnment, bid on contracts, but they aren’t run directly by the government. Like charter schools or many halfway houses or group homes. I suppose Hiram also plans to leverage the prison for private gain and use the guard system to beef up a private army. Or similar, because he’s Hiram. The Southside of riverdale would become a company town for hiram’s Employees, I imagine. I don’t know that we know about Jughead but I assume he did go to school with them growing up. It is true in the comics. I’m guessing it is because he and Archie were close friends.

I have and there seems to be no similarity. The show is a lot like Diana Rowland’s white trash zombie series of books, so much so that it almost seems questionable. Not just to me. I’ve run across a lot of comments that assume that’s the origin. Still I’m no expert on tv contracts.

I could be wrong but I thought FP went to jail, jellybean and mother left and jughead moved in at times and stayed close to/with Archie. FP and Archie’s dad being close at one time the two were old friends and the senior Andrews wouldn’t be one to hold FP’s sins against jughead.

Sadly my response, too. What the actual?

I think that your definition overplays your hand a little :-) although it seems true that in the US the case is weighed in favor of law enforcement (the person being trapped, contrary to the usual basis of our legal system, may best able to prove they would never normally do what they are being entrapped into doing or that the law enforcement is behaving really really badly). If I'm reading wikipedia correctly. And no, before I commented I didn't research it. Apparently in Scotland I would have been quite correct. Smuggling someone in or out of seattle may be criminal? (what would they be charged with? Maybe something like public endangerment?) but a different kind of crime than promising to transport someone via the 'underground railroad' and then killing them. Also during a zombie apocalypse carrying a gun for self defense and pulling it when you feel threatened is pretty relatable, even for someone who doesn't like people carrying concealed weapons during normal day to day life. Charging him with holding the gun on Ravi really is entrapment. Then again, who brands themselves accidentally? How weird is that? My initial impression is that they were trying to find the guy so they could arrest him for the smuggling and then look for proof of the killing part, in which case they wouldn't have needed to send in Ravi in person, it was completely unnecessary. I was overtired, I'm sure I'll watch it again at some point. They had proof he had smuggled people, just not that he had killed them (although they had strong circumstantial evidence that he'd killed them). Also, where do they think the brains in the restaurants are coming from? They should be 'following the money' and looking for the suppliers with their highly incriminating books. I wonder if that is what Bozzio is doing. Someone has to have half a brain. ahem.

Loved the opening scene stealling brains off the dirty plates of the rich. in a fairly short length of time we’ve found out where Blaine gets his brains and also that the quality isn’t that amazing. He’s feeling the pinch of the embargo. Fewer astronauts and great athletes. More ordinary people. It doesn’t bode well for his business plan. How much would you pay to experience the brain of a janitor who wants to get her toddler out of Seattle? The blue brains are like tv shows or movies, but virtual reality. ordinary people arent Blockbuster material. I suppose that someone will also be found to be culling the donations before they get to the FG factories. If they are in a position to trace the brains they can grab the good ones. I wish the serial killer plot wasn’t resolved with cheap entrapment. I’m in a pickle was funny but in reality there had better be some real evidence. Also real evidence got by entrapment is still tainted. And it seemed like it should have been harder, somehow. Again a flash of acting from Dohring as we apparently move too rapidly to his downfall. I’m starting to care about him a little although.they haven’t given me a reason. Also where is the pupper? I don’t t blame him for coming into the situation unable to finger Carey but he really seems overmatched now. Meanwhile FG is probably still filled with sympathetic families and kids. Why sont we see more of them? FGshould push the we’re all in this together side of things! And we need to find out more about them. It is possible Renegade is the key. He needs a person to see him sympathetically, more time with Major? I can see them as a team, all three of them, trying to find a way out of the mess I don’t see Liv’s camp doing it right now the comparisons with race relations are getting heavy handed but seem muddy. Still bored with Liv’s antics. Like the religious group. I believe it, although I’m an easy mark —always ready to believe the worst of religion. — I think people would look for comforting group activities and someone to tell them what to do. Fill more graves should be doing this and could. E doing this but odd religions would still pop up.

I absolutely agree I think it made the show, and brought the point of view back to Roseanne. The wish fulfillment of the previously annoying last season was poignant. I didn’t mind the husband switch that much because it really sucked but I could see it happening in real life.

I thought in the beginning they picked up after the superheroes. Now the superheroes should pick up after them? im all for the kittens, though

If it is an fbi thing they may be planning on shutting down Blaine’s brain smuggling operation. That won’t make things better but smuggling brains over state and international borders? Probably illegal.

Just stepping in to say love the references to “there will be blood”. It screamed Chics eventual plot and now that we have it in hand, how great is Chic?he can’t even hide what he is. I wonder how Chic died. And Claudius after Cheryl and Nana. Delightfully gothic. Dark chocolate and chili powder. caring a lot more about Fred than Archie hermione running for mayor really alienate Fred I hope Archie, too Kevin seems to have terrible judgement about people

Huh. I used to go to a Korean- Japanese buffet that would give him fits. Thanks. I know what dumplings are made out of so it would never have occurred to me. She may be doing something while under the influence of brain. Or investigating. She might be kind of an inside person/monster for the fbi now.

I think you may be confusing ‘excuse’ with ‘reason’ It is a lot easier to deal with someone’s actions if you can understand why they did them, even if you wouldn’t do the same thing. And, while slavery is a hard ‘no’ for me it clearly crops up in many societies widely separated by time and geography. Are all people in these societies, the Bantu as a whole for example, evil? Also our heroes are responsible for summarily taking freedom away from a lot of people by killing them. Libertarians would say this is better and so would I, sometimes, but it is worth thinking about.
