Thanks to the both of you. I'm so glad you liked it.

Spoiler:

Debs I know. Keep in mind, though, that I was up late typing that. I was half-sleep and couldn't think of a better word to use, so I went with the first thing that popped into my head. Plus some of those other errors I had to correct... but it's fine now The most important thing is that I got out the words I needed to express my points. Next time I will do a write-up fully-conscious.

For some interesting reason, Emmett was on the prowl for tricks in this ep way more than usual (or that we're used to seeing). He was with three different guys during the duration of the episode, and they all presented interesting circumstances. The howler was definitely the stand-out, though. I love how they show the Lindsay and Melanie waking abruptly, the howling wolf... and than keep panning out of the neighborhood, the state, and then the world world. Tthat's actually how loud he was.

By the way, I love how the granddaughter's b-day jogged Ted's memory for the password. Little does she know how much her being born saved both Ted and Brian's necks. It's amazing when you think about it.

Cody is a lost boy, simple enough. He needed to seek out help, not trouble. I am not even trying to be insensitive, but he was a deeply disturbed individual. Something really bad must have happened to him for him to have developed this overarching sense of pessimism toward almost everybody he crossed paths with. I mean, we all saw how he treated Justin's friend, Daphne, in the previous episode.

Sorry Denise, but that word isn't like correcting a typo, it's a horribly derogatory and demeaning word that denigrates a very serious physical disorder. I am stlll shocked that CowLip used it, but apparently it doesn't matter that people use it in the US.

Well can you believe I actually didn't know that? I just thought it was similar to the definition of stressing, otherwise, I wouldn't have used it. Anyway, you can find comfort in the fact that I have now completely removed the word, and replaced it with "freaking". Hopefully that helps.

I'm still "freaked" that I used an offensive term and didn't know it. My bad.

Denise .. you didn't start it in terms of QaF, the writers did .. but honestly, I am so grateful that you changed it hun You have no idea how much I appreciate it

Anecdote: the partner of one of my family members used the term and I called him out on it .. he told me "I can use what words I want" ...

Such an intelligent and erudite addition to the family *snort*

Maybe the writers should have changed it, too. Hmmm

Honestly hun, it would seem not to have the same meaning in the US .. maybe this weekend I'll do a little research into the terminology of the disease and see what I come up with But thank you again for being so understanding

What did you think about Ted's voice when he was singing in the restaurant?

[Giotto]

I was quite impressed, but I don't think I would go there to eat myself

[SojournHeart11]

Has anyone else gotten around to watching this ep? No pressure at all, just asking.

I absolutely love the moment Brian barged into Mel and Lindsay's bedroom and made it his place to break down the evils of the system to Melanie. Again, there's that whole "It is what it is" narrative stepping in to play. Brian had his philosophic moments whenever he felt like it.

I have to wait till I'm alone agin before I can watch ...

I don't even want to promise. Too much going on is the story of my life.

[SojournHeart11]

I know, I barely have time.
