Don't you hate it when you peep through the hole and find out that internet trick you invited over posted a fake pic?

I know "reanimation times vary widely" but he goes from dancing to face munching in under 30 seconds?? Telling about the goings on here on Hysteria Lane?

Well there goes their TripAdvisor rating

Oh great...we're getting a backstory on the hotel guests now? I guess anything's more interesting that our group.

That flyer was so moronic. Everyone know it's The Canada-land. Our public school system are embarrassing. Do you have plenty of Nerf products on hard??

Oh good grief, they were always doing that. Bad enough 3/4 strangers show up shortly after some nefarious crime has been committed, but then those supposed strangers just hanging out together, in public, they might just as well be wearing neon jumpsuits with 'cop' scrawled on them. This was even more annoying than them always using their real names. I know it was the pre-Google era (yes, it's true! There was a time with no Google..or even Internet!) but it was still easier enough to check someone out/track them down if they aroused someone's suspicion (which, apparently they were trying do).

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

I just a commercial for a Lethal Weapon TV adaptation of the movie on FOX this fall. Surprisingly, the tagline wasn't: "Lethal Weapon, because Rush Hour worked out so well for CBS".

The glasses, unfortunately, remind me of his creepy character in Phone Booth.

If ever there were a time to pull a House/Jury House flip.....

Has anyone tried MyPillow?

I'm dreading this, but I have to admit I'm amused by the 'the call is coming from inside the house'...er, kitchen promo.

A perilous assignment? A grocery run to CostCo? It's not like this was during the fall with rioters raid the shelves or senior discount day at the Winn Dixie. In fact, there wasn't another "shopper" in the store. IT was only perilous because dumbass Nick made it perilous. If she didn't, she's the worst safety buddy ever. Your friend is taking a shower in a creepy, deserted hotel save for the undead roaming about. She can't hear anything and is probably taking some comfort in the fact you're out there to alert her if something happens. But you just wander off? Seriously? Have you never seen a horror movie? Or do they not have those in TWD universe either. If it's a natural contagion causing this, then in theory there should be some percentage of the populace with natural immunity. It could be interesting finding someone with that immunity, but 1) without any functioning medical facilities there's no way to exploit that and 2) it's clear no one wants to explore the origins, mechanics or spread of the virus. This was supposed to be about the latter at least and glazed over the whole thing. I took that to mean for him it's about the chase. He'll flirt with anybody just for the sake of it. He could be bi, but I think it's more that his con man background necessitates him being able to woo anyone and he''ll take any opportunity to keep in practice. The sad part is, this was the most thought provoking question I had from this episode, if not this season. I mean if every shopper takes a cart home with them, how are they going to have any left. Do you have to leave a deposit for them? Couldn't she have taken back the carts from the last time back? Maybe the drug dealers have bugged the carts and are tracking them but to their camps. It would certainly make more sense for these well armed, ruthless drug dealers to track down what must be a relatively large number of encampments and take what they want rather than turn into the post-apocalyptic Sam Walton. Where did Madison's Southern drawl come from? Are we supposed to believe she's been suppressing it the whole time (and presumably since she left Alabama)? It wasn't the liquor that brought it out because Strand expressed surprise at her being a "Southern Belle" before they started their party.

H&I is about halfway through season 2. This is where one of the most annoying things about Voyager starts: the ship being severely damaged week after week. There's a crashed shuttle breaching the hull, they lose life support on half the ship, they lose propulsion, weapons, the deflector dish. There's sparks, steam, explosions, rocks! (Why are there rocks from exploding consoles??) The ship is, according to the impassioned cries of the designated officer of the week, literally about to come apart at the seams. Which would all be well and good, except the all put back together by the start of the net episodes, no mention--much less sign--of the the previous episode's damaged that reduced the ships to a drifting piece of space junk. Also annoying is the stupidity that has to be accepted for some plots to work, most notably anything with Seska and the Kazon. The Kazon are able to breach the ship with a shuttle, get out of locked cargo, more freely throughout the ship, know how to transport off the ship (after stealing a single tiny piece of equipment that can create a transporter), manage to beam off the ship and lock out the crew from their own transporter. Seska meanwhile can hack/replicate Starfleet encryption, override the transporters , defeat the shields, integrate Kazon and Starfleet technology, find hidden ships and basically out maneuver the crew at every turn. You'd think she should have been up for chief engineer rather than Torres at the beginning of the show. I liked Seska and she had a lot of potential but they took the lazy way out and turned her into a mustache-twirling cardboard villain who has whatever super dooper skills are necessary for the plot. To make matters worse, in a plot worthy of a daytime soap, Seska impregnates herself with Chakotay's DNA. WTF? The Cardassian having twisted feelings for a Maquis angle could have play well until they had to turn her into a crazed ex from a Lifetime move trying to hold onto her man.

So Keenan's coming back? Does he just have an apartment there now?

Good God that was uncomfortable. Was he medicated so he didn't flip out on live TV?

Haven't they been casting this way for years? Why don't they just call this season what it is: "We Skipped Casting the Token Old Person Because They'd Just Get Voted Off First Anyway"

When they did it in season 3, the HGs were placed in separate rooms and had to hold up a paddle indicating which evictee to let back in. I think it was sprung on them so no time to discuss.

It was established in the pilot that Kes was an adventurous/curious sort and found a way to escape the underground city and explore the surface (where she encountered Neelix). I totally agree about Neelix. What an annoying, intrusive character. I'd say useless but the idea of having someone who knows the races in an area was interesting....just horribly executed. That Morale Officer deal was just crap, though. I wish they has dumped with him and Kes to make way for Seven of Nine. They could have picked up a new minor character who was familiar with the area on the other side of Borg space. H&I is in the early second season. Most of the episodes have been fairly weak (although most of them are holdovers from season 1). The 37s has some god interaction with Janeway and Earhart but you have to overlook the WTFness of aliens going 70,000 lightyears to pick up some day laborers and the eye rolling ending with no one choosing to leave Voyager. Projections is watchable but has an air of desperation to it, being the second holodeck gone awry episode in the first 20 of the series, bringing in Barclay and starting the "holographic doctor has the hots for the bangin alien babe" trope that would just get worse once Seven of Nine showed up. Mulgrew/Janeway is really carrying the show at this point. Picardo's a good actor, but the Doctor's milling around sickbay and being annoyed schtick is thin by this point and while Neelix is at the forefront, as previously discussed it's not in a good way. Everyone just sort of fades into the background. Harry even gets an entire episode devoted to him and it's boring.

Did Julie say it was going to be a comp to get back in? The very first time they brought back an evicted HG, it was by a secret vote of the remaining HGs.

I kept hoping it wasn't coming, but I knew it was. New celebrity edition starting Sept 14th at 9. From the Food Network website::

I will totally buy it as a rigged type thing. 100%. You heard it from your boy.

I don't think I'm going to bother. After tonight, it's clear AG still has a boner for Paulie. I'm going to start calling Production 'Bridgette' because after Paulie basically told them to shove their rules and he was't going to do anything he didn't want to, they just said "Thanks! You're awesome, Paulie. Thank you for putting us in our place!"

It's probably just the squirrel in dreadlocks.
