Aren't you off by an extra "l" there, Kat?
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Scripty goodness:
WIDER - if there were doves, this would be a John Woo Moment as Jaye, Aaron and Yvette are all taken into custody and hustled in slow motion past Cigarette Smoking Sharon. As Jaye and Sharon share a look that has a world of history contained within it...
HALE
Do you think you're above the law, Jaye?
JAYE
Not really. I mean, I got arrested, didn't I?
HALE
Did you just give me tone?
JAYE
No. There was no tone.

David, I read that and I laughed and laughed and laughed.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
PMM, you should see the scene! Damned funny it is, because Hale, she's fucking funny.
Also, Steph, I dunno if you are reading, but in Brass Monkey, there's a great shot showing everything in the napsack of a character in the elevator. (The Olsen girl is trying to immolate Dr. Ron and frame Jaye for the crime). You see a ton of Wonderfalls clothing, a Wonderfalls lighter (WANT), and... a Wonderfalls Happy Funball. It's even called that.
I laughed like a loon and said, "Do not taunt the happy fun cabal!"
Also, the John Woo moment happens multiple times in that episode. It's so beautifully shot.
Lots of funny. a little heartbreak. My non-magic-heart got a little choked up in the episode (musta been Brass Monkey) where married-Eric shows back up at the bar with Heidi-Ho in tow.
My Eric love..... dissipated by a LOT.
But, maybe after I see the finale, that will change. But I doubt it.
I have a lot to bitch about from Totem Mole, but I'll save that for later. Should go to sleep now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The John Woo moment isn't just slow mo. It's accelerated, then slow momentous mo, and then accelerated again, all backlit and blue and smokey.
It's beautiful.

The John Woo moment isn't just slow mo. It's accelerated, then slow momentous mo, and then accelerated again, all backlit and blue and smokey.
And not just once. Not just twice, but at least three times. Two in forward and one in reverse.
So damned good.

OH! and ita, in Totem Mole, gets yet another shoutout. I wanna know why ita gets all the love?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Why DOES ita get all the love? What's a girl gotta do to get that kind of love?

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?
I want summaries of episodes 10-13! Even just short ones... please? I really want to know what happens after the (unfortunate) re-marriage.

Okay, since you've seen them, you have to tell me what happens after episode nine. It's killing me.
