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'm starting to dislike Eric.

But I love the monkey. I think his response to Jaye's question about why he talks to her was perfect.

I need a new tagline.. submissions are accepted.

Wow.. Cocktail Bunny was really good. I can't wait to see it. I don't know if I like Eric much anymore. I am just not 'feeling the love' anymore. I think Jaye is too good for him. He has way to many issues.

The odd part is most of the characters are a bit crazy and Jaye may be the most stable of them all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did it break your heart?

Eric was the least of Jaye's problems.

It broke my heart.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

So true. I think that's when my love ended.

I feel bad for Jaye. When I watched "Crime Dog" I just found it amusing when she was in the car yelling at the cow creamer, but reading about her melting and smashing lions and being manhandled by cops and generally looking like a complete crazy person is sad. At least Aaron and Dr. Ron know she's not totally nuts... but that can't be much consolation. Those of you who have seen episodes 11 and 12 -- does it get even worse for Jaye?

In episode 11, she's reached some sort of.... peace with being special.

Yeah, the upshot of Totem Mole (apart from krav is cool) is that she'll hang on to the voices for a while. Her call.

Good to hear. I didn't want to see her spiral any further into insanity.

Which is your favorite of all the unaired episodes? I've only seen up to Lovesick Ass, and I'd have to go with Crime Dog as my favorite. I like non-linear episodes, and it had the priceless slow-motion scene. I don't know that I've liked any of the scripts I've read more than that.

Brass monkey and then some. It brings both the funny and the pain.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Is Eric's lack of a spine ever explained; or is he simply a wimp at heart?
