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.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Lovesick, my Ass!

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.
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.

Sue, which episode is nine? Is that the remarriage? (damn. Watch several hours of TV and it all blends together).

Yup -- Lying Pig ends with the wedding.
So we've seen 10 and 11. But I can't remember what happens in 10. There's no shippy stuff in 11.
Which means 10 is ... Brass Monkey!
Oh, then, 10 is the one where Jaye loses it big time. She's letting Eric go (not easily), and then a cocktail bunny tells her to "save him from her". Is this where she starts destroying tchotchkes? Anyway, the lion tells her to see the monkey for details.
She's also stalking Heidi, sees her buy pills, tries to save Eric from her. She's back in therapy, and someone's stalking Dr. Ron. And shitting in his office.
Damn. I can't do this justice. Kat? Allyson?

you're doing fine.
You didn't mention her melting the wax lion on the coffee burner at work nor her mother's upset that she won't talk with her.
Dr. Ron is convinced that the stalker is Jaye. But really, it's the Olsen girl.
OH! the Brass Monkey tells her why all of the figurines talk to her.
And there was licking of a light switch.
