I thought so, too. When Jack suggested that the reason Richard didn't kill him was because he respected what Jack was capable of, that he was almost one of them (the shepherds), I actually busted out laughing at his chutzpah. Yeah, you're a pain in the ass over and over and burn down everything, and you think he respects you? *sigh* And it was a set-up line for Richard to offer him a job. Blech. And apparently the fire destroyed everything in the basement to the point that absolutely nothing remains, but was "confined to the basement"? In other words, the building is still standing, but all the books, triggers, Marcus' body (and presumably Cranfield's, too) are so gone, there isn't any trace of them? Riiight. Yeah, I missed that explanation, too. And Bix is something for Season Two? If there is a Season Two. I actually thought he told her that when the body was close to death was the only time one soul could get rid of the other one. And leave it in that place (which I totally thought was a different place from The Adjourn, because those souls come back). I did love Madison turning the tables on him, as well as turning his catch-phrase back on him. "What goes around... stays right here!" Me, too. I have so many questions, but I'd watch more. Oh, that's what happened! I was a bit confused. I thought that was Marcus pretending to be Madison to get the heck out of there. "Sure, here are these folks who will rescue me and believe I'm their little girl." I was fully expecting him to kill them as soon as he could. A piece of pavement? <grin>

I just can't with this show any more. It's basically a bunch of idiots whose cats should be rescued and placed elsewhere. I LIKE cats, so can't stand seeing them abused by a bunch of yahoos. And Jackson's just going thru the motions, IMO. Same situations, same "let's torment the cat so it'll claw me so everyone will understand this a SERIOUS problem", same homework, same miraculous reveal that everything is wonderful after the obligatory (non)dramatic pause.

Cosplay is quite popular in certain circles (think teens, early 20s). My niece in college has a Stitch costume (but not the optional feet, because "that would be weird". LOL I think it's a combination of Ren Faires, SCA play, Comic-Con and the rise of anime. It doesn't have to be creepy, To each their own. Ba duh bum - ching!

Wouldn't that itch? That's their problem! They don't really have to go; those eyelashes just itch! Or what RG just said.

Dang, you could have patented that idea! Or great minds think alike, or something.

Aww, no, I love that one!

Really? Ickey is a bit annoying to me. I like the horror movie one above ("let's hide behind the chainsaws!") and of course, honest Abe "Does this make my backside [bottom?] look big?" and the dude's in agony, knowing he's screwed no matter what.

What is the commercial for? If anyone is tempted to answer "elephants", consider yourself smacked in advance. :D

Mmm, make turkey stock and put it in the freezer for a soup base later. *drool* I already put a can of chicken broth in the baking bag with the turkey, so I'll have plenty of turkey gravy. Then simmer the carcass/skin for said turkey stock. I put juniper berries and fresh rosemary in with the turkey, so your stock has a good, herby start. Once it's refrigerated, the fat rises and solidifies and you can just pop it off the top before you freeze the stock. I'm sorry, what was the topic? ;)

Mine would ignore it. But I did buy one of those stiff plastic brush things that fits around the corner of a wall. I stuck it head high where Swiffer is prone to rubbing anyway. She loves it, so I ignore that I purposely put a bright blue bristly thing on the wall. Lucy is not allowed to touch it, but she has stuff Swiffer never touches, so it evens out. And they each have a window seat and share the tree... OK, maybe they are spoiled.

I see what you did there.

Seems to be a much more efficient way of getting rid of someone. Could they somehow be triggered accidentally?

I like it. Anyone else hoping Marcus/Maddie would run out of the building just in time to get squashed by Gary? Just me? :D

Speaking of phones, I just saw a Basic Talk commercial with a guy saying, "If you don't believe me..." listen to this guy, introducing a newscaster who is chomping on a sandwich that he quickly throws off-screen before repeating what first guy told us. We then cut back to first guy, who is... chomping on that same sandwich! That he then hides behind a prop. How is this supposed to make me want Basic Talk?

Not sure (I think he has a distinctly creepy, crazy serial-killer vibe myself), but Ellen DeGeneres has a little fun with it here:

I've never tried punting before, but it seemed odd that it was boating that tripped people up. Adam and Bethany continue to kick ass. I hadn't watched TAR for several years, but really admire Bethany, so I'm here as long as they are. :) And I hope that's all the way.

Thanks! How many past lives does "Rose" remember? What is the name of this primal entity? The more questions they answer, the more I come up with. If there is eventually a payoff, with the tying up of loose ends, I'll be happy. If this turns into another Lost down the rabbit hole, I'll be wroth!

Along that line, I thought "exile island" this season looked awfully familiar, like maybe we've seen it before as a camp in a previous season.

Did anyone else look up the meaning of what the last of the three said to Jack? "voy a vengar en el otro lado" Per Google translator, it means "I will take revenge on the other side." Anyway, I was intrigued by that and oddly pleased they didn't spoon-feed us by translating it for us. The only other time I can remember a show doing that was the West Wing episode where Mrs. Landingham gets killed by a drunk driver. Bartlet doesn't take this very well, and stays behind after the funeral to rant at God in Latin. Which they did not translate. :)

That's how I understood it, too, seamusk. Yes, the child will be back, too, since Rose referred to him as "newly adjourned", which seems to be how they describe death - someone getting a 9-year "time out" before they can come back again. Remember Richard telling Frank right before he shot him, "If they're right, this won't really matter."? It seems like a multigenerational game of chess for the Nine, advancing some pieces (Amy/Rose), and using the shepherds to kill others, thus taking them off the board for a while. I don't see it that way. Rose has stuff she wants to do NOW, so she's pre-empting the rest of Amy's life with a "I'll make it up to you in your next life", when presumably, Amy and Rose will be in different bodies by then.

You guys have already pointed out the pros/cons of an older house with stairs. But what really bugs me about that commercial is when the old guy says, "It's definitely more affordable than moving!" Well, I would hope so! It just made me wonder how much those suckers cost, since old guy is comparing the price of the lift with the cost of buying a new house. Probably not the take-away they were hoping for.

Looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book.

Heh. I always thought it looked like a potato, myself.

Here it is: http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7rU5/purina-waggin-train Hmm, I seem to be having problems embedding the ad instead of just linking to it. I did it the way I always have. :/

Just saw a Waggin' Train commercial for chicken jerky dog treats that left me shaking my head. It starts out "we take a 100% real egg..." (phew! Glad they didn't use the fake eggs!) "and hatch it into a 100% real chicken..." (ditto for not using, say, just a 90% real chicken. And what would the other 10% of that chicken consist of? But I digress). The oddest part was when they show the "newly hatched real chicken" dead and plucked on a platter! I'm pretty sure that's not what a 100% real chicken looks like when it hatches.
